Walker St 04:26
It felt like the right thing to do I bought a nice looking suit Just for the sake of it Cheap from a thrift store It was like a new opportunity A new outlook I walked down walker street In the late afternoon sun Cold drink in hand Oh yeah you know the one Everyone here is like something from an old time movie And I'm a walking cliche In an old suit And I don't know why I don't know the right thing to do But it felt like The right thing to do
2.
Open Up 02:42
Overpowered by my own uncertainty Unable to wake up And bust a move Always in a mental state But always in a mental state of flux Sometimes you can get more done Drinking coke on the front porch Than twelve thousand clerks In a high rise Or twelve horses Working hard for the man Open up Like a can of coke Like a house with the windows smashed out
3.
Gum Wrappers 03:06
Watching the fire burn Laughing in spite of it Leaning in towards it for warmth Like a home Afraid because it's a wild animal An untamed beast It can turn at any time Nervous because it's out of control This is why it's so special This is why two dollars in the hand No plan and a pocket full of gum wrappers Couldn't feel any better
4.
Observer 03:30
I can see a light I don't know where I can see a light somewhere out there I stand and stare Observer from afar Can you hear the club? Can you feel the club bounce? Neither can I Well neither can I Outside of the circuit Well clear of the ring No sign of Gucci here I watch the sea from the trees I can see a light Free Observer from afar
5.
River St 03:33
It's a pretty good life out here Barbara says out loud while sipping on Gin And putting on make-up for no one else but herself Oppression urges one to think Makes em strong where others are weak To be on top can make you cold inside It kills the soul and makes a meal of the mind She had to get away from Texas Jim and his big head Out here now smoking Winfields on the porch Watching birds make nests And the light slowly fade down the street River street is home to the unsettled, unnerved and the unusual They come and go like leaves on the trees Either floating or falling
6.
Making our way through a box of warm pre mix Bill Dwyer, Jim and me All in my Ute down Silverleaf place Parked up near the old tennis courts Where you can see nothing for miles It's 6pm and there's a stillness in the air The kind that makes you feel like Nothing will ever change The radios bust but no one speaks And off in the valley a dog barks I'm pretty sure the company I keep doesn't know what to think Or what to believe And I know that's why I'm here too Somewhere near here there were once screams from a house The cops didn't come They stay away from Silverleaf place

Hunter Rd MX 04:28
You lost your way at the Hunter road motorcross Walking in the rain again Now you gotta find a way back You lost the ring that I gave you At the Hunter road crown club Now I gotta find a way Back to you I lost the heart that I thought I had As I slipped into the sea again Up to about my neck in it Now I gotta find a way Back to you I found a reason to keep on track I found a reason to keep afloat It was you
9.
Reality Loop 03:03
Playing pool with Frank at the bar It's like a temporary escape From the world that we know A world outside where actions are met with consequence And choice reigns supreme In order to escape the pressure One can do nothing And just play pool But is this a reality loop? Like in groundhog day Maybe I should learn to sculpt ice Or work harder at work Am I happy? Or am I on the run? These questions circle my thoughts And swim through my mind As Frank lays down another dollar for pool These questions circle my thoughts And you swim through my mind As Frank lays down another dollar for pool

about

Crowley & Walker was written and recorded late 2018 by Champion Racehorse at their home in Healesville, Victoria

Inspired by impressions of life in a small town, from birds in trees, to pool halls, tennis courts and sports bars. The album loosely revolves around a group of fictional characters, with no huge purpose but to find some peace of mind.
With the use of electronic and acoustic instruments, field recordings, and references to street names, the songs seek to portray the town's atmosphere.

The third album by Champion Racehorse, and as always, best listened to with a pair of $2 earphones.
