about

'The Sailor Who Fell From Grace' is inspired by a dark novel by Japanese author Yukio Mishima. The story, and the lyrics, follow the powerful rise of a clandestine club of child psychopaths who, betrayed by the perceived weakness of adults and their world, plan and exact terrible revenge on the sailor step-father of one of the boys.

It's a bop though.

lyrics

Child, don't you recognise your father's
Solemn and distant eyes?
Watch him through the peephole, if you'd rather
Only the strong survive

Child, don't you recognise your father's
Solemn and distant eyes?
Watch him through the peephole, if you'd rather
Hard as you try, only the strong survive

I saw the fire
I saw it burn and burn
Taken apart on the mountainside
In the cave, in your eyes
I saw it burn

Number One is nothing if not a cruel master
When he left the sea, he left you behind
He'll treat you like a kitten
You fell from grace, sailor
Only the strong survive

Number One is nothing if not a cruel master
When he left the sea, he left you behind
He'll treat you like a kitten
You fell from grace, sailor
Hard as you try, only the strong survive

I saw the fire
I saw it burn and burn
Taken apart on the mountainside
In the cave, in your eyes
I saw it burn
I saw the fire
I saw the rippling air
And I mistook it for childish fear
The ground beneath me
It disappeared

The night is old
All the trouble in the world in one little soul
The night is old
All the trouble in the world in one little soul
The night is old
All the trouble in the world in one little soul
The night is old
All the trouble in the world in one little soul

about

House in the Tall Grass image

House in the Tall Grass Adelaide, Australia

Founded in the deep, dark valley of December 2020, House in the Tall Grass is the project of four old friends who needed a louder, stranger and angrier outlet in their range of bands. We're writing music for people who feel the world to be strange and proud and blue-grey and distant, but who are righteously angry and firey enough to get up and dance about it. ... more
