about

Time & Place was recorded at Mik and Gordo’s family home in Gippsland, a huge mud-brick house surrounded by native Australian trees ... the perfect place to lock yourself away for a couple of weeks to track an album. This version of Tripitaka features the whole band, it certainly works better with bass and drums. We wanted to make it sound lo-fi, so Gordo came up with simple one-string guitar lines in the verse, switching to pedal notes in the choruses ... we pretty used much this production style on all our early pop numbers.

lyrics

All the way, I stayed awake, it's a long flight back from JFK
Rest my head, I cannot sleep, but you know it's easier not to think
I can't stop sighing at what you said
I can't step quietly on this street

Only want to keep my eyelids falling
Only want to speak but I've lost my sense of timing
Only want to keep my head from falling
Only want to speak but I've lost all sense of timing

Eight a.m. at Paddington, I feel like Tripitaka-san
Rest my eyes, I want to sleep, but you know you have to talk that spin
I can't stop sighing at what you said
I can't step quietly on this street

Only want to keep my eyelids falling
Only want to speak but I've lost my sense of timing
Only want to keep my head from falling
Only want to speak but I've lost all sense of timing

I can't stop sighing at what you said
I can't step quietly on this street

Only want to keep my eyelids falling
Only want to speak but I've lost my sense of timing
Only want to keep my head from falling
Only want to speak but I've lost all sense of timing
