lyrics

Verse 1
I wrote this groove to groove on your grave,
Write an angry letter to complain of stump tail,
Breeding many bees with your best friends hope, don't even share your honeycomb,
That's why you're unhinged.

Verse 2
What has love got to do with your heart?
A park full of Starks is the one I'd like to start

At The Dakota Darwin, Australia

Hailing from tropical Darwin, indie-groovepop band At The Dakota have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Northern Territory with their addictive pop sensibilities and hooky, quirky lyrics and melodies.

A 5-piece comprising laidback lads from the Top End, their songs are unapologetically groovy, and refreshingly cryptic. ... more
