Fill You In - Josh Pyke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra

And then the weatherman said to go back to bed,

because it’s shame to go outside when the wind keeps howling now.

So for a little while there I lived inside a cave,

and there were bears and bugs and leaves and love

and a dark that only left you when the night came crawling home.

And I was happy there for a while until I woke one day to find the roof had

blown away

and the wind blew through me,

and then the very next day it began to rain

and it rained right through me.

And then the lightning struck right beside my head

and a branch fell down and came to rest upon my broken legs,

and to my surprise that bough began to grow.

And then the weatherman said to look at the sunset

and if the sky was red the very next day it would be dry instead,

and I was happy in the sun like a lazy one,

like a lazy one.

And then that broken bough it began to grow,

and it grew right through me.

And then the very next day,

well the grass did blade and it cut right through me.

And then a rabbit dug a tunnel right between my ribs, and she lived right

through me.

And then a bird came and pecked at the space in my chest and then he flew right

through me.

Now there’s a hole in the ground where I used to lay down and I can’t fill it in.

And there’s a colouring pad in the back of my head and I want to fill you in.

And I was nothing more than an impression of myself and I want to fill you in.

Yeah you could lay your' body in the hollow where I used to be and you could

fill me in.

And then that broken bough it began to grow, and it grew right through me.

And then the very next day I believed in something new well, what can I say?

And then a bird came and pecked at the space in my chest and then he flew right

through me.

And then a rabbit dug a tunnel right between my ribs and she lived right

through me.

I’m a man, I’m a man like I used to be,

I want to fill you in,

cos there’s hole in my chest where the animals lived and I want to fill you in.

And I do a very fine impression of myself

and I want to fill you in cos there’s a colouring pad in the back of my head

and I want to fill you in.
