intro
Next up is a band that formed in Australia back in 1980. And they've evolved since then. They're not your usual pop-rock band. As a matter of fact, this band's music is much more rich and detailed and nuanced as you'll soon find out. They've been recording their new album which is called "After Everything Now This." It's been in the works for the last couple of years. And it's a great treat to welcome for the first time... The Church.

Hey man, think it through now
Why don't you stay for a while
Eve and Aurora gonna come on over
Know they'll make you smile
The Church Discography
You should've seen it coming
Been coming for some time
You've got your broken heart
And I got mine

You ain't gonna tell me that you were a saint
Every time you two were apart
You blew your chance
So face the music and dance

The Church Discography
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where you go
I don't know, I don't know why I loved you so
You said it was alright
It stayed with me all night
It stayed with me all night
The Church Discography
I don't think, I don't think I've ever been to the brink
I don't think, I don't think I'll have another drink
You said it was enough
Then you called my bluff
The Church Discography
You said it was too hard
You took out your trump card
You said it was alright
It stayed with me all night
It stayed with me all night
The Church Discography
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care where you are
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care who you are
You said it was too hard
You took out your trump card
You said it was alright
It stayed with me all night
It stayed with me all night

I don't guess the answer will be yes
I don't guess you can't
I don't guess you can't
The answer will be yes
(I am a sailor on the water, did not find me through the dark)

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where you go

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care where you are
I don't care, (I don't care), I don't care, I don't care who you are
You said it was too hard
You took out your trump card

Song for the asking
Song for you obviously
Song for a singer
Song for a B movie
Song for the asking
Song for you and me
The Church Discography
I don't think, (I don't think), I don't think I've ever been to the brink
I don't think, (I don't think), I don't think I'll have another drink
You said it was enough
Then you called my bluff

Song for the asking
Song for you especially
Song for the singer
Song for a B movie

Song for you and the sea

I don't guess, (I don't guess), I don't guess you can't wait to undress
You said it was ready
I held myself steady

Song for the asking
Song for you especially
Song full of nothing
Song for the royalty
Song for the asking
Song for you and the sea

The Church Discography
When a cloudy morning rain touched our little town
Three small sisters and a friend walking in the fields
A strange light in the sky blotting out the sun
Whatever happens next changes all our lives
The Church Discography
And the children ran home sobbing and half blind
Said our lady has a message for mankind
Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense
Dazzled by the virgin's radiance
The Church Discography
And the icons in the church crying tears of blood
The water in the wells curing all who drank
Pilgrim lunatics arrive in a ragged stream
The Church Discography
In the fields around the village sprang up tents
People from the outside world want more evidence
Four tired children questioned day and night
All they can remember is her blinding light
The Church Discography
So the circus drifts away and the noise dies down
Life goes on as before all the people came
And the children never say what her message was
The Church Discography
And the children ran home sobbing and half blind
Said our lady has a message for mankind
Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense
Dazzled by the virgin in her radiance

Sitting in the shadows and the evening oscillating
Feeling light and feeling like it's a-gonna change
Hoping for a moment for some gentle consolation
Waiting at the station where the treats are out of range
The Church Discography
She's sitting in a carriage being jostled by the motion
Overhearing conversation, the grinding of the steel
Scenes fly past the curtains that the darkness paints uncertain
And memories are meaningless, her motives are concealed
The Church Discography
Through countrysides and mountains and the village by the ocean
Where the stranger's waiting for her in the plushness of his car
Winding and rewinding, pushing all directions
Till the limit of implosions, which is never very far
The Church Discography
All I ever wanted to see
Was just invisible to me
The Church Discography
Out there in the distance the horizon meets resistance
The summer falls down drunken on the longest of the days
Rushing past the ruins of the churches and the Porsches
Reflected in the mirrors and the echoes in the haze
The Church Discography
He drums impatient fingers on the chrome and on the leather
Running through the reasons in the corners of his mind
Sifting tiny diamonds on his shaky mental islands
Where he often claims asylum from the structures left behind
The Church Discography
All I ever wanted to see
Was just invisible to me
The Church Discography
The wind blows through the headstones and the maelstrom's making music
The melody reminds us the girl's still far away
Asleep in her compartment, dreaming of the darkness
As the train speeds on the darkness to the approaching day
The Church Discography
All I ever wanted to see
Was just invisible to me
Sitting in the shadows and the evening oscillating
Feeling light and feeling like it's a-gonna change
Hoping for a moment for some gentle consolation
Waiting at the station where the treats are out of range

Now that it's over I find myself leaving
The sound permeate in all directions at once
I never said goodbye to the family, lovers
Brothers and daughters, the rest of the bunch
The Church Discography
It seems so strange that the things I was chasing
Have all evaporated like a distant dream
Petty ambition, petty obstruction
Something in between
The Church Discography
(After the after everything, after the after everything now this)
The Church Discography
Here is a child playing in a garden
Here is an old man with a broken heart
Here comes a train to take you away
It all goes round and round and comes back to the start
The Church Discography
I was never really sure what I was waiting for
When the moment came I was looking away
Obsessed with a past, scared of the future
Never took the time to be here today
The Church Discography
(After the after everything, after everything now this)
The Church Discography
After everything now this happens
It's not a grand illusion, it's a stupid little trick
The show must go on, these people have paid
You're standing in the wings feeling kinda sick
The Church Discography
Never really sure what you were waiting for
When the moment came you just couldn't choose
The fog sweeps down over the marine city
Standing backstage trying to pull on your shoes

(After the everything now this, after everything now this)
Now that it's over I find myself leaving
The sound permeate in all directions at once

It seems so strange that the things I was chasing
Have all evaporated like a distant dream
Petty ambition, petty obstruction
Something in between

I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered
A stranger's reflection in a stranger's eyes
The Church Discography
Here is a child playing in a garden
Here is an old man with a broken heart
Here comes a train to take you away
It all goes round and round and comes back to the start

Original After Everything Now This Version
Almost entirely instrumental
Esmerelda falls in love every Saturday
And on Sunday morning don't remember a thing
And the gringos are all saints of the latter day, that's the way
And it takes a little pain out of the sting
The Church Discography
Holy water tastes as sweet as wine
Holy wine tastes just like blood
She's drinking for loss, for the man on the cross
She says no more, the awful ache
The Church Discography
And in her bedroom there's a mirror there
Sometimes it don't reflect a thing
And from the street he sees her silhouette
And he can't forget
The Church Discography
That her kisses are as sweet as wine
And her kisses taste like myrrh
Her love is lost, like the man on the cross
And no more, the awful ache
The Church Discography
Esmerelda walks on down to the cemet'ry
And he's waiting for her in the shade
With the angels and the sad old trees, patiently
But she walks right past his grave
The Church Discography
She's crying for loss, for the man on the cross
She says no more, the awful ache
She's crying for loss, and the man on the cross
She says no more, the awful ache
