Inevitable 04:21
"I've been wondering if my girlfriend's silent whispers could be turned into a no-holds-barred full-blooded scream I've been wondering if her taunting could be turned upon its head to let the mocking come from me Holed up in my head Stuck on possibilities Relinquishing control Refusing to bow to the inevitable... I've been wondering when these tinges of unhappiness started bearing rotten fruit I've been wondering when these needles of resentment started piercing through my skin And if I could turn back the clock would my antennas be tuning in And if I could turn back the clock Would my brain be zoning out And if I could turn back the clock Would I hear your favourite phrase " You'll never change" "

Redhead 03:28
"I fell in love with a genuine redhead not one of those dyed-up jobs She made me feel so indestructible warm funny and fiery (yeah yeah) I fell in love with a genuine redhead she always laughed at my jokes even when it was blatently obvious not as funny as I thought I was... She had a fine wine sense of humour She'd want to have to put up with me She couldn't handle my truculent nature never change to what you want me to be.. And if i treated you shabbily my head plays a different tune to my heart And if I treated you like I didnt care I was too wrapped up in my own nonsense I fell in love with a beautiful redhead not as romantic as it sounds We bumped our heads in a supermarket aisle tripped over each other and fell to the ground She had the cutest of freckles always multiplied in the sun but if you disturbed her before her make-up was on not even God could pluck you out of that frying pan I fell in love with a Genuine Redhead - yeah yeah yeah yeah..."

Timebomb 02:59
" When I think of all the times that you left me When I think of all the times you came back when I think of all the moments we shared that can never be brought back intact Shaken from memory shard it brings a glimmer a flicker of a smile to my face ----------Timebomb When I think back to the moment we met when i think of how certain I felt when i think of all the fun that we had when i think of all the sadness we shared Can never tell what the future may hold every action has an equal and an opposite reaction There was no way of knowing that when two worlds collide that the fragments would eventually scatter pushing people way off to the side When i think of the adventure of getting to know how we ticked I never knew - but I'll always want to know When exactly - I pulled the switch on the -----------------Timebomb"

Holy Fingers 03:39
"G.O.D - I've been thinkng about the world - as it turned I've been thinking about our lives - we are what we learn If there's a white man with a beard in the sky looking down he'd say - I'm proud of you son..? I don't care what you say - they're not games that you played when you turned your back on kids you could have saved i don't care what you claim - or the red hat you gained Don't talk of God when all you have is shame Holy fingers on a list of names - of lives cut to the bone Holy fingers on a list of names - you won't lift up the phone! no more virgins - 'cause you stifled all their screams there's a vulture keeping a vigil by your bed. Where's the innocence in my dream that i used to have sworn to secrecy there's no pixies in my garden anymore

Reductive 04:15
"I've gotta find out how to use a word like reductive I've gotta find out how to use a word like chicane then slip them into my conversation like i'm simply passing the time of day I've gotta find out how to use a word like germane I've gotta forget how to use a word thats destructive i've gotta find out how to use a word that will heal then slip them into my conversation like i'm simply passing the time of day I've gotta find out how to use a word like surreal words that make you laugh words that cause you pain words that force you to feel thunder peal cascades of rain i've gotta fnd out how to make myself more seductive i've gotta fina out how to make myself more charming

Turtles 06:30
Turtles Maybe the world was made for us So that we could find eachother in it The world is nothing but for the fact Love found it in our image Never rely on what you see Not everything can be seen If the world vanishes without trace what is left is ours to face our little life is fraught with choice I hope we don't take a wrong turn Never rely on what you see not everything can be seen I will always believe that love is the highest value but i don't believe that love is the answer, nor the solution Love is a force of nature like the sun as necessary, as impersonal, and as gigantic warming, and drought-giving as it is life-giving when it burns out, the planet dies... Never rely... We meet, we don't meet, we have lunch so good to see you again did we unconsciously choose the wrong road it always leads to nowhere Turtles hatch in the sand not many of them make it to the sea once there, the sharks are waiting days disappear and get swallowed up But the ones that make it swim out and return for the rest of your life Don't wait, don't tell the story later life is so short, this stretch of sea and sand this walk along the shore don't wait, don't tell the story later before the tide covers everything A Story with a happy ending? There's no such thing my dear just an ending.......the beginning of what happens next

" I won't close the door - you're still in my heart it's just weary to the bone like a leaf that don't know where to fall will someday come to rest like us all i hope that you're there.. Sun keeps rising - Day after day and it will for a while to come memories keep on moving flowing on through like a paper boat on a stream Dawn is breaking - there'll be blue skies again But not for a while to come i'll seperate the memories with sweetness of time no bitterness will poison me

about

The curious thing about Crooked Karma is the fact that the two members of the band have never actually met in person! Singer-Songwriters: Australian Warren Newton and Irishman Liam Oragh met each other and started collaborating on-line through music video sharing site Musicians Together (MT) and what started off as a few fun songs and videos turned into multiple songs and finally this self-produced album.

“This was us having a little fun in between our own solo projects – throwing ideas around and not taking ourselves too seriously – hopefully ending up with something with quality in its quirkiness…” Liam Oragh

Crooked Karma: The name – I chose an adjective, Crooked, and Warren chose a noun – Karma – simple as that!
The Music: People often mention Lou Reed when it comes to Liam Oragh and John Lennon when it comes to Warren Newton – Guess people will have to make up their own minds about this musical fusion…

“With all the bad stories you read about the internet, this was it at its best and what it was made for I think - to make interesting friends with similar interests leading to working and writing music together, and with the wonders and simplicity of dropbox for filesharing and protools (not quite so easy) and tracktion for the music production – it is possible to put together albums of music without ever needing to meet – plus if there’s ever a disagreement or argument, having the other person over 3000 miles away helps…lol (LO)”
“Make that 10500 miles..If I drive 3000 miles mate I'm still in Oz!” W.N
