LONG JUMPING JEWELLER
WRITER GRAHAM GOBLE

Everybody can't be heros, but some can still try, to make their lives a little different before the time it goes by, now I live up around the north shore in a room with no view, every morning on that ferry, my view is filled with you. I'm gonna let my heart take me away, I'm gonna jump a little further everyday, I'm gonna let my heart take me away, I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay. She's there every single morning with about a hundred more, they watch as I come a-runnin', they all know the score, I always like to be the last one so I jump as she pulls away, the gap gets a little bit wider the longer I delay ... I'm gonna let my heart take me away, I'm gonna jump a little further everyday, I'm gonna let my heart take me away, I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay. I handle gemstones in the city, in a little lane off Australia square, I got one picked out for you that looks so pretty, but I got to make you notice that I'm there. Well I started to make the papers and people began to bet, would I end up with the lady or would I just end up getting wet, now I'm not gonna give you the answer, in oh so many words, but swimming in Sydney Harbour, you know is strictly for the birds. Tweet, tweet, for the birds ... I'm gonna let my heart take me away, I'm gonna jump a little further everyday, I'm gonna let my heart take me away, 'cause I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay, I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay. Long jump, long jumping jeweler, I live in Lavender Bay, hear what I say, I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay, long jumping jeweler ... (repeat) I live in Lavender Bay, long jumping jeweler.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
