"drift" was universally praised by the critic when released in 1993. Composed in London where Peter Walsh then lived, it is a collection of unclassified dark pieces, a timeless masterpiece, the remarkable class of a songwritter, the obsessional record of an aching mind.
Sold out for many years, it became necessary to release this one again. Three unreleased songs are present on this remastered version (tape recorded demos from 1986: ’You Wanna Cry, STOP, I’m the Staying Kind’, which were composed as a response to the rumour saying that Dusty Springfield was going back on stage. Peter wanted her to appropriate this song).

lyrics
Knowing you were loved
Wasn’t that the best thing that you ever had
And watched vanish?
Knowing you were loved
Traded away your loneliness
You thought you could never die
You know those days that blur
The stones of loving her
Scenes that flicker in your head
For days you thought of her
You pray for things that were
You’re nothing. Nothing but desire
Knowing you were loved
You will go from place to place
Leave, then leaving never ends
Knowing you were loved
You go and hold down any job
A world of bills, a run of jacks
You know those days that blur
The stones of loving her
Scenes that flicker in your head
For days you thought of her
You pray for things that were
You’re nothing. Nothing but desire
Wasn’t that the best thing?
Wasn’t that the best thing?
Wasn’t that the best thing?
You know those days that blur
The stones of loving her
Scenes that flicker in your head
For days you thought of her
You pray for things that were
You’re nothing. Nothing but desire
Wasn’t that the best thing?
You could never die
Scenes that flicker in your head...

David McComb is probably the most underated Australian songwriter. It is fantstic to hear some of his lost songs. The Triffids were part of the sound track of my youth and its so good to and some nes songs to it. Sullie
