I wanna go back to November nights Starting to forget what November sounded like I wanna go back to November Nights Remember feeling better when the weather was real nice Classic Bilby Blinky Trill shit baby please come hang with me Classic sunny Sydney day you even brought a gram for me We just wanna lay in shade our bodies cool down with the day We just wanna lay in shade our bodies cool down with the day We feel magnificent but were running out of weed That’s ok though lately we’ve been takin it easy Forget about this and forget about that Look into the distance, hey I think I gotta ask Are we gonna go inside or not? I hear thunder I see lightning Please don’t tell me I should lighten up Purple turning into violet Are we gonna’ get real high tonight? I think first i’d like to vibe it out I think maybe we should vibe it out I think I wanna vibe it Get paid on the first Thinking I’m the worst I would never say but I am feeling as though I may run away Hours everyday Winters been a pain Sorry but I really had to bring back this refrain I been rollin’ one deep I been kicking it solo Got a little bit of weed Smoke it with a Nebbiolo I’m tryna’ get out to Orange Maybe head down to the Yarra I’m tryna’ kick all my worries I’m tryna’ kick em’ like Capper I’m telling you dude I’m a rapper Extraordinary like I’m Blinky Bill Extraordinary Bilby Blinky Trill Leave a Sydney rapper feeling ill Maybe one day I might get my shit made Until then Ima’ go lay down in shade I wanna go back to November nights Starting to forget what November sounded like I wanna go back to November Nights Remember feeling better when the weather was real nice Are we gonna go inside or not? I hear thunder I see lightning Please don’t tell me I should lighten up Purple turning into violet Are we gonna’ get real high tonight? I think first i’d like to vibe it out I think maybe we should vibe it out I think I wanna vibe it

Polar 03:46
I’m the type to take the flight and light it on the rooftop My knuckles are purple I am colder, I am polar The sun is not hot enough to warm me up No the blood doesn’t rush to my head fast enough I’m the type to take the flight and light it on the rooftop I can see my house from here It’s empty, the lights are off Sunsets they are are the same Upset, it seems I am lost Arriving ain’t an option Horizons are all I’ve got I feel I’m froze from head shoulders knees and toes I want wind to blow Attempting to feel comfortable I might be on a roll but that don’t make me boulder From a flame to a smolder I’m getting older I’m the type to take the flight and light it on the rooftop I can see my house from here It’s empty, the lights are off Sunsets they are are the same Upset, it seems I am lost Arriving ain’t an option Horizons are all I’ve got

Can we sit down for a minute? I’m getting older Think it might rain in a minute Like I told ya

Dead Ringers 03:43
I got music in my feet and my fingers No dead ringers I’m unique From the creek under the bridge To the really rocky ridge That’s where I be While I’m in my feelings Do you feel me? No, not really Tryna’ catch that feeling that I felt in 2013 Smoked a lot of weed but now it just don’t feel the same to me And I know this thing I do is nice and I like it But it felt more nice when it felt like I wasn’t trying Trying to not be too tired Tonight backfired on me Tried to be kind tonight I was too tired, sorry I need these beats but these beats don’t need me How many weeks left in the year leave me weak in the knees 15 years old sneaky stealing mum and father cigarettes Like my mothers dunny blues but felt sick from dad’s Winnie reds Now I’m rolling ruby and it’s truly very silly yes Keep your 2 cents like the lizard on the coin with frilly neck You could see me on the freeway Knuckle yellow from the way I hold my ciggy Yellow crested flying freely Yellow crested oversee me From the creek under the bridge To the really rocky ridge That’s where I be While I’m in my feelings Do you feel me? No, not really

Shade 03:16
Hello, how are you? Please come inside Welcome to the soil, where I thrive Can I off you some peace of mind? All I ask for is your time A hole that never ends The earth just opened up and took me right on in Lie here, layin’ Layin here, for you I wait Underground now But I need sunshine I need shade Shade Keep me cool in sunlight Cool now, I feel alright Alright Hello, how are you? Please come inside Welcome to the soil, where I thrive Can I off you some peace of mind? All I ask for is your time A hole that never ends The earth just opened up and took me right on in

Turtle Boy 02:48
Don’t feel the need to try to be A man with self validity I hope they don’t pull up on me Fight or flight, fly likely Now why’s it gotta be like that? I’m always rollin’ on my back The only instinct that I lack is how to get up and attack Now if I lay here on my back and gesture with an outstretched hand would you lean down and maybe grab it? Pull my from the cold wet grass I made it to cool dark cave I slept, I felt so ultra safe A particular kind of way I feel when in a silent state Now when I’m in that silent state I mull it over night and day I lay in shade I felt my shape I lay in shade I felt my shape Now if I lay here on my back and gesture with an outstretched hand would you lean down and maybe grab it? Pull my from the cold wet grass Now if I lay here on my back and gesture with an outstretched hand would you lean down and maybe grab it? Pull my from the cold wet grass

I just wanna stay for a while Let me lay in shade for a while I remember how we felt Quite high on weed and ‘oh wells’ We felt breezes Befriend beaches So much shade beneath those trees and... All we really want is what’s outside Tryna’ finish this bottle were up all night I just wanna stay for a while Let me lay in shade for a while Courtney B with the sit and think Out in Dubbo and I bump The Reels Warren Ellis with the dirty weed Harry Angus with the days like these Birds like Nickel Nackle Tree Craig Nicholls with the Autumn shade Mad hooks but I’m tackle free Pete Murray with the better days Lying on my back and I’m staring at the sky Jealous of the clouds cos’ I wanna be that high Nice view for the afternoon Rain cloud be my enemy Cold breeze started coming through Might just be the end of me I just wanna stay for a while Let me lay in shade for a while I don’t want a cheque I only want to rep the east I wanna’ represent up from up Palm Beach down to Bundeena When I die pour my ashes on the Heath I might come back as a ghost and I might haunt Allambie streets 2100 the place I might just go lie in a cave I might just go lay in some shade I might just go lay in some shade I said it a millions times Cos’ I really mean it And I really need it Extraordinary I just wanna’ stay for a while Let me lay in shade I just wanna stay for a while Let me lay in shade for a while

And I wish you well Even though are living in a concrete hell Everywhere we did we leave a wishing well Still I just can’t believe were living So we wish you well Even though are living in a concrete hell Everywhere we did we leave a wishing well Still I just can’t believe were living B.I.L.B.Y B.L.I.N.K.Y. T.R.I.L.L I love you You love me too Let’s skip this town for better views Cos’ musics all I know And loving every inch of you We might be high beside seaside Likely be high beneath moonlight And I’m writing all these tunes and sometimes people like them too Its beyond belief to me that people believe in Bilby Blinky trill And I wish you well Even though are living in a concrete hell Everywhere we did we leave a wishing well Still I just can’t believe were living So we wish you well Even though are living in a concrete hell Everywhere we did we leave a wishing well Still I just can’t believe were living Hey, we’re running out of shade It was very hot outside I’m glad you sat with me Did I say a lot for someone with not much to say? Wait, I don’t wanna hear it if you don’t like what I make Mate You glow on the inside Together we glow bright Hey, we’re running out of shade It was very hot outside I’m glad you sat with me Did I say a lot for someone with not much to say? Wait, I don’t wanna hear it if you don’t like what I make Mate You glow on the inside Together we glow bright

about

Written, produced, mixed and mastered by Harry Moxham

----------------------------------------------

“One of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic players to emerge from the scene has to be Sydney’s BILBY. A curious mix of 90s midwestern emo, Atlantan trap, cloud rap and the aesthetics of Australiana kitsch…. Regardless of what you want to call it, it’s thoroughly charming." - Purple Sneakers

“Bilby's one of the few artists whose music continually hits me like a rush of love. Who the hell sounds like this? Here's a guy who's music is entirely his own, as if developed in an incubator, and yet it's always improving.” - Chiefly Sounds’ Lachlan Wyllie

“…equal parts catchy left-field hip-hop silliness and striking poignancy, echoing the frustrations of young adulthood much more than first appears.” – Rolling Stone
