	1.	Drunk People (Have The Best Ideas) 04:26	lyrics
	A group of friends stumbling home One picks up a traffic cone Wears it on their head like it’s a crown A fight breaks out across the street Culprits pinned down by police Party goes on ‘til the break of dawn Life’s too short to get hungover every week Every week So why do so many people fall in this deep? Drunk people have the best ideas One more round, just one more beer Drunk people have the best ideas A shot of fire, to quell your fear Drunk people have the best ideas Forget your pain, all you hold dear Drunk people have the best ideas Stay out all night and drown our tears We’ll drown our tears Electric scooters racing past LEDs flash in the dark Under the influence of the night The music starts to take a hold Weariness eats at my soul This beat is all that’s keeping me alive I don’t want to lose control Not ready to give up hope Don’t wanna fall into abuse ‘Cause then I’d end up just like you I don’t want to lose control Not ready to give up hope Don’t wanna fall into abuse ‘Cause then I’d end up just like you

This song was made on muwinina country. I acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the lands of so-called Australia, and my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. I also pay respect to those who did not live to achieve elder status.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

There's jazzy blues, and then there's Miss Jones! My fave track off this EP is Madam Blues, but I also adore her newer single "I'll Never Know" which I suggest you go and check out over on her page. LJ Parks

All is not fair in love and war... powerhouse vocals, emotive lyrics and a spectacular backing band of Tassie musos! My fave track is Better, closely followed by Love And War and Rise With The Light. LJ Parks
