"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
Stop, stop
Stop, stop
There's not a train in the world that could take you home
Is there anyone who could hold you?
Step outside, your childhood is a world you don't control
You're not alone, I'm with you, honey, with you, girl
Can’t you see?
But I think about tomorrow when I close my eyes
Think about all I'll lose and I wanna cry
Stop, stop, stop
I'm the staying kind
Stop, stop, stop
I'm the staying kind
Staying kind
Thought I'd see you through these months of life
Or I never will see you at all
I return to a kinder world
The first time you call
If I'm alone, I miss you funny, miss you good
Can't you see that?
Think about tomorrow and I close my eyes
Think of all I'll lose and I wanna cry
Stop, stop, stop
I'm the staying kind
Stop, stop, stop
I'm the staying kind
Staying kind
You wanna cry
You wanna cry
Stay
Please stay
Stay
I count to fifty
Think about tomorrow when you close your eyes
Think of all I'll lose and I wanna cry
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
I'm the staying kind
Stop
Stop
Stop
I'm the staying kind
Staying kind
Stop, stop
Stop, stop
Stop
Stop, stop
Stop, stop
Oh, stop

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
