"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).
Includes unlimited streaming of drift

lyrics
Give nothing away, no dark confession
She fled from everything she knew
Came through alcohol to you
Your saw that world, its fucking chances
You know its every crummy room
There are no tickets for the doomed
This side of town you had forgotten
Where all the melancholy Janes
Just reminisce or go insane
And the goodbye train, some of us
Went on it for a while
The goodbye train came along &
Took you for a ride
The goodbye train
But you’re not lost or broken yet
You’re not lost or broken yet
This side of town you had forgotten
Where all the melancholy Joes
Along the river that you know
Are fading fast, the cheap illusions
Maybe a hundred towns ago
They had a hundred kinds of hope
They held out for the big tomorrow
Always on the outside looking in
The windows of the rich
And the goodbye train, some of us
Went on it for a while
The goodbye train came along and
Took you for a ride
The goodbye train
Where are you now? My dark obsession
I walk the streets in dead man’s shoes
Through smoke and rain to get to you
Your bitterness, your disillusion
You thought you’d die of loneliness
Whoever loved you you’d just wreck
You tear your dress, you tear your stockings
You tear up everything we had
Both the beautiful and bad
And the goodbye train, some of us
Went on it for a while
The goodbye train came along and
Took you for a ride
The goodbye train
You can’t give in, you can’t give in
Not you, not you Sunny Jim...

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
