A packed hot Powerstation rocked with Martin Phillipps and The Chills, who are Erica Scally (guitar/violin/keys), Oli Wilson (keys), Callum Hampton (bass & trumpet), and Todd Knudson (drums) at The Chills and The Bats - Scatterbrain Album Release Tour - Auckland
'Rolling Moon' is from the album 'Kaleidoscope World' which was released in 1986. This song hasn't lost in time its magical blend of psychedelic pop and folk. The Chills and The Bats were on fire to an enthusiastic crowd and these two bands gave them the full Flying Nun sound, which was so relevant in this, the record labels 40th anniversary year.

Lyrics
We wander lost forgotten hills
Blue sky, green grass, we are still
The mists enfold us gently smelling
Breeze in our ears softly telling
Of the days of light and laughter long ago
They trace us, taste us, touch our hair
Show us a castle, show us to their lair
To their lair
And the rolling moon rocks on by
We dance until we start to cry
We've got feverish sweat and aching bones
Please, oh God, don't take us home
It's pretty cool but we can't rest
The purple sun sets in the west
We prance on gold-red summer lawns
Dragon-blood evening, buzzing swarms
Of lawnmowers mowing
Summer lawns away (far away!)
I realise we really are quite far away
Far away, far away, far away
And the rolling moon rocks on by
We dance until we start to cry
We've got feverish sweat, aching bones
Please, oh God, don't take us home
Please, oh God, don't take us home
Please, oh God, don't take us home
