Cinema album
is the bands first studio release since 2007.
The album is due for release June 25 in Australia, June 29 in Canada, July 6 in the USA, and about a month in Europe and everywhere else.
Produced by Steve Schram, and recorded at Sing Sing Studios in the bands home town of Melbourne, this is an album which shows The Cat Empire at very best, right now.
In an age when so much of selling music seems to be about celebrity and fashion, The Cat Empire have risen to be one of Australia and indeed the favourite live acts through sheer musicality and the power of their interaction on stage.
2010 sees the international release and world of Cinema, the band's fourth studio album. The album serves up a set which captures the inexorable force - and sheer joy - of their live performances, delivered in a format perfect for lounge-rooms, backyards, BBQ's, cafes, road trips and parties all over the world. This is music which defies definition, but has a sound all of its own.
The only thing we can tell you it is that it is incredibly infectious, uplifting and definitely danceable,

* Gone o
I used to ride up on the And down at the darkened of tall black windowsills And my jumped every ledge Until one bright when I woke I heard bells, girl she gently and said Choice my mans to or choke So go die, or learn to
Get back on way at the end of the day Under the and the rain The whole big bloody parade until That feeling, gone You wake up on own
Sometimes walls caving in the world just hits your chin And sometimes shadows haunt your And sometimes I feel so Then some rare eagle on the wind it turns and life comes bursting in And the you thought would beat you down Lifts up and lights your
Get back on way at the end of the day Under the and the rain The big bloody parade until that That feeling, gone You wake up on own
/ Lifts up and you homeward bound / Lifts up and then found again / Lifts up and turns your world
/still scarred of love lived on the And the Earth you would eat you up Well it lifts you high and fills cup And then I learnt to hope / the point of hope / I knew the way ahead/ to go
/ lifts up and clears hallowed ground
*So that love lived on the edge / of love lived on the ledge / Like love lived on the ledge
/ As if my love a ledge
bring you Lifts up, your heart just the ground /and how you love your ground / high above the
/ and the you thought would end your song song / lifts up and now . . . the feelings gone gone
And you wonder how on you When high o

This is the last time I will you
This is the last time I will you at all
Cos woman my trouble
And woman Ive been and despair
My only
Is standing here when youre out there
The wind comes down and all our is in loose pages
The wind appeared like you and the place Id known
Now words lost their meaning
The words have lost their and shes bored
And I am
Im standing here waiting and you call
Im standing here and you dont call
Im standing waiting but you dont call
Im standing waiting
You took my time I still you the same
But I fell down every that you
Came, Came,
time that you came
The leaves fall and like autumn she brings sadness
The are left behind and winters in my bones
But I wont stand here
I wont here crying anymore
Im off the
Im standing here for you thats all
Im standing here and you dont call
Im standing waiting but you dont call
Im standing waiting
You took my time I love you the same
But I fell down time that you
Came, Came,
time that you came o

From the city to the below
the strangers to the ones I know
From the darkness to the glow
We burn so
Can we outlast the
From the island to the of dreams
From the future to the Ive seen
From the righteous to the believe
We all must
But I want to breathe
My up and Im almost
My hands over my
Ill dan, til Im old and
Deep down, and
the pilot to the golden sky
From the dash the day we die
From the to the lonely cry
We all
Lie and
My up and Im almost
My hands my shoulders
Ill dan, til Im old and
Deep down, and
Well I love you a raging storm
And I miss you like Im coming
And I hold you like a song
You me high, high, higher . . . until Im

MP3 * Only o All along the street holding signs that say That I am lost and I do not know the way I asked the rock, sitting in a shade of I asked the rock, he have a thing to say
So you are the light I see You are the only light I When everybody is sleeping You along and help me breathe
When I was a no-one knew that I was there I'd sing my but no-one ever really cared I went to the mountain face all covered in I wept but the mountain didn't seem to
love you until the mountain starts to cry I'll love you if I don't the reason why I'll you until I do not know my name I ask you you have done the same? o

All hells crashing inside
The windows to the side
Shimmering in to quiet sighs of
Oh well if its happening
It here, and god appears to deal
A different to different tiers
But play is not over yet
Hear the music of marionettes
Beating down the quiet streets
Of and vain regrets
And all these swiftly come to pass
Presently she feels past
of tea and optimistic prayers
Cos out our unholy mess
Gathering its long white
And marching down aisle to marry
future bliss
Kiss the and hope it doesnt lift up your
Carpet woven from and token frets
All Hell!
But this play is not yet
Hear the music of those
drums down the quiet streets
Of ignorance and vain o

me
Underneath the light
go
Wandering the night
something
Underneath the of control
A music is beyond all
You go to sleep you wake up you do it again And there's a beat you make up inside of your head And every street's a river be born or be dead We are all singing this song but Nobody knows how going to end
me
In the coolness of the
me
Further the firelight
jungle
No-one really where to go
For something is beyond all
A that is beyond all
me
Up until I'm of sand
me up
And scatter me across the
Our
They're and they're fat and they're old
I'm
For something that is all
A music is beyond all o

MP3 * On My Way o
Dont send me down the
send me down the hole
Dont send me down the
Which way it go go?
You never know
You never never
You never know the way
youve been wrong, no
And if you want to
As your February
Would March just disappear?
You it on the left
You hear it on the
You hear it on the left
Left then the right
missing in the west
Youre missing in the
Youre in the west
You the black kite
And even in your
There are that cant be seen
And youre lost in where been
Im on my way
To where I wont look
I you say
dismay
That were on the tracks
I the train
Oh oh oh oh oh oh . . .
Youre in a lie
living in a lie
Youre in a lie
Why do you
swimming in the sky
Were in the sky
Were in the sky
So low and so high
And if you want to
As the sea looks to the
Well youre here, but far!
And I'm on my way To I wont look back
I you say
With
That living on the tracks
I hear the
Oh oh oh oh oh oh . . .
As February clears
your March just disappear?
Im on my way
To where I wont back
I you say
dismay
That living on the tracks
I the train
On my way
To where I wont look
I you say
distain
That were living on the
I hear the
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
