Shipwreck
It is black like the darkness rising
Feel like a ship been sunken
Getting old like the soul inside me
Still beautiful like nothing I've seen
Let it roll like we're rolling on a river
Coming down like a night turned morning
So make it through now baby, just make it through
Whatever gets you through that wicked night
And a shipwreck’s no place to start
After they break your heart
Don't you fill my cup with those salty tears
This ship’s been sunken for years
It is burnt like the world around us
Broke like a promise been made on a whim
But see it through now baby, just see it through
Ain’t the tears that keep you lying awake at night
And a shipwreck’s no place to start
After they break your heart
Don't you fill my cup with those salty tears
This ship’s been sunken for years and year and years

’Til My Whole Heart Bursts
So I got beat up by this town
Barely tangled up in blue
Well I got broken for the cause
We all want to be more than flesh on top of flesh
Maybe I'll love you 'til my whole heart bursts
Baby, but we'll make it through
Barely held together, worn like leather
Baby, but we'll make it through
Through the dark
Through the storm
Through the door, and we're born
Maybe I'll love you 'til my whole heart bursts
How I got caught up in this noise
But never dragged to make these tracks
Belly crawled along this path
In order to be more than flesh on top of flesh
Maybe I'll love you 'til my whole heart bursts
Baby, but we'll make it through
Barely held together, worn like leather
Baby, but we'll make it through
Through the dark
Through the storm
Through the door, and we're born
Maybe I'll love you 'til my whole heart bursts
So we’ll make a break for higher ground
Where there’s nothing above
Cos there’s nothing below
Through the dark
Through the storm
Through the door, and we're born
Maybe I'll love you 'til my whole heart bursts

Between Tonight & Tomorrow
Sometimes I hear the phone at night
If I don’t answer, maybe it was you
Sometimes when I go out at night
If I don’t know where I’m going, maybe I’d find you
In the in-between
Where it hits you
Between tonight and tomorrow
So try and hold on
In the in-between
Between tonight and tomorrow
Sometimes I lay awake at night
Hear the clock tick
It’s the only way I know I’m in the room
Sometimes when the music dies down I hear the voices
None of them are you
In the in-between
Where it hits you
Between tonight and tomorrow
So try and hold on
In the in-between
Between tonight and tomorrow

Go Ahead, Celebrate
Little girl Lulu Cornes in the pouring rain
She never thought twice about love, the money or the pain
Won’t find a pretty smile like hers on no magazine
Roll the dice twice on love and she’ll do it all again
That’s twice I had to mend
Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate like we used to
Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate
Kept it to herself but Loretta dreams of the ocean
Like a jewel in a crown young girl shine like midday sun
So the scene was a beautiful thing on a moonstruck boat
And she wondered if the silence stretched on all the way back home
We’ve all got wounds to heal
Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate like we used to
Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate
I ain’t gonna tell you something more
We’ve all got wounds to heal

Sweet Collapse
I took the bandage off to let it breathe
See with the blindfold gone you can see
From the port I kept moving
I said: “A river to the sea”
Times I was in too deep
Take a hold of me now
In my sweet collapse
Because we ain't going back
You heard me right my rose
Take a hold of me now
In my sweet collapse
There were nights I barely felt the cold
Other days I was young but feeling old
Times I’d barely recognise you
Or recognise myself
Took the mirror off the shelf
Take a hold of me now
In my sweet collapse
Because we ain't going back
You heard me right my rose
Take a hold of me now
In my sweet Collapse
I dream him still, I dream you all
With so many lost before the fall
In a heavy fog kept moving
Though my heart’s back there
Where my soul laid bare

NYJJ
So go put on your dancing shoes
Not that you’ll need them where we’re going anyhow
I know that you humoured me once or twice
So I’m happy to do it now
You ask me baby “Does it feel right?”
I try to tell you straight, I don’t know
I just can’t shake it
I just can’t shake it
I’ll leave off now for New York
June/July somewhere warm
I’ll leave off now for New York
Somewhere warm
Maybe we’ll be right
Okay maybe I ain’t straight with you
If I’m hiding all the crooked things inside
But baby sometimes I ain’t got that wheel
I’m just going for the ride
So when you ask me baby “Does it feel right?”
I’ll try and tell you straight, I don’t know
I just can’t shake it
I’ll leave off now for New York
June/July somewhere warm
I’ll leave off now for New York
Somewhere warm
Maybe we’ll be right

We Are Born
There’s a cold wind blowing down south
Slowly chasing the rain
From your window you can feel something
At the end of the day we’re gone
And you feel like you’ve been waiting
We are born
We go on
To win some and lose some, the way is long
We are born
We go on
To win some and lose some, you’re not alone
In these modern times we’re still the same
Living with fear
Down the road should you think of me
Think of me here
A lifetime spent waiting
We are born
We go on
To win some and lose some, the way is long
We are born
We go on
To win some and lose some, you’re not alone
It’s what I wanna say
It’s what I wanna feel
It’s what I wanna hold
It’s what I wanna be

Just This One
Cold winter night
Stayed out two weeks straight
Three hours’ sleep most nights
Don’t make a difference to me, I was lost anyway
Where were you? Out drinking every night
Lord I knew, but like I said before
It don’t matter anyway
You’re not mine, not mine to lose
Only mine to relent
I don't want to think about you anymore
I don't want to hear about you anymore
I don't want to sing about you anymore
Just this one's for you
I'll give you just this one
I'll give you just this one

Closing In
A new moon is rising
Close to God, Lord, closing in
Through a bedroom window
Hits her hair strawberry blonde
And you hold her closely
Close to God, Lord, closing in
Though the roof is leaking
Pots and pans ring like a drum
There are many roads to find forgiveness
She’ll be waiting, waiting on a summer's day
With the end closing in
Oh the child has made you
Close to God, Lord, closing in
Fear the tide that binds you
Should the years all come undone
There are many roads to find forgiveness
She’ll be waiting, waiting on a summer's day
With the end closing in
She is on her back now
Close to God, Lord, closing in
You regret the mayhem
She forgave most of it all

Joe Gow has the charisma to be one of those artists – but he isn’t.
Matt concentrates on the conviction. You don’t have to listen to more than ten seconds of Matt's award winning albums to appreciate that. Barroom Americana with confiding closeness.
