"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
Everywhere, everywhere, the night is long everywhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jacknifed and all washed up in Vaudeville
Just mockingbirds and sleeping pills
Afterglow of emptiness, liquor rushes, losing tricks
What magic is there left in town? What magic?
In places where the night is long
All your little dreams, they can go wrong
In places where the night is long
Rachel changed her hair from blonde to black
Knows she never will go back
Stole her ticket for the trip, life she’s led you never really kick
Can’t stand up. Can’t stand to be alone
In places where the night is long
All your little dreams, they can go wrong
In places where the night is long
You’d better move on
Get out of there
You’d better move on...move, move, move
Sleepless. Snow drifts on the windowsill
Suddenly the world is still
The Neverland that’s your address
No girl next door will ever get
Who could rescue you? Who could understand?
These places where the night is long
All your little dreams, they can go wrong
In places where the night is long
All your little dreams
Face it friend, you don’t belong
I spent a lot of times lost...
Everywhere, everywhere, the night is long everywhere

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
