Robert Forster Disaster In Motion

back to recordings


Disaster In Motion

from the 2015 album 'Songs To Play'.

Population 80
Nothing much here

Things just drift
Year to year

Once there was scandal
Once there was a flood

Golfballs found
In the mud

Then one year it all went bad
Disaster in Motion is what we had, what we had

Good things happened
Good things too

Cathy got married
To Emmylou

All was quiet
All was calm

Nickel found
Near Bradley's farm

Then one year it all went bad
Disaster in motion is what we had, what we had

Then one year it all burst forth
Disaster in motion south and north, is what we had

What we had.

Written by Robert Forster.
