Well I’ve been at the top of a cliff and seen ships go sailing away And I’ve watched the sea turn green and bright bluefish swim in the shade I’ve imagined skies in reverse and note stormy mountains can light And I was there by the shore on the night when the stars all married the tide
When the time arrives That we must form a line Would you stand and take my side Would you take my side
No I won’t be afraid No I won’t be afraid When the evening takes all of the color out of my day And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
And now we turn into the world as if dreams were an ocean to wade Under all the kites they glide like a friendship set on a wave
When the time arrives That we must form a line Would you stand and take my side Would you take my side
No I won’t be afraid No I won’t be afraid When the evening takes all of the color out of my day And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
And maybe I′m afraid of fools the children that are saved Maybe I′m not certain when they draw the final curtain The woman in the water and the baby in the barn And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
No I won’t be afraid No I won’t be afraid When the evening takes all of the color out of my day And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
No I won’t be afraid No I won’t be afraid When the evening takes all of the color out of my day And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
Whoah Up up and down from the country to the town From the streets to the city from the sky to the ground in the alleyways When the mad noise sound we be looking But still we haven′t found what we′re looking for For all of our days. Searching out prophets In this great big haze Of consumers, banks and commercial shit and most of the people they sit
When think this is living a part of their lives But if this is living then our lives are in strife But now we be searching, searching for some space That′s right we be in the search for the mother place.
(Felix) And when we get there by land or by sea By climbing up a mountain or swinging through some trees On arrival we′ll get a sense of the place And we′ll feel it in the air and the smiles on our face will grow When the living does begin When the banks they are burning And the mobiles don′t ring no more Radiation will cease We′ll be lying outside Drinking brews in the heat
And at this destination we′ll be doing what we want And not because it′s fashion but because it′s our response And we′ll write and we′ll read and we′ll work and feed And won′t need nothing from society ′cause i′m free
(Harry) And if you want we could write a post However those with the noise find that it′s far Better to search for a better living Better to be alive than waiting for an ending and some might say
(Felix) That place don′t exist It′s something that you′re dreaming It′s something that you wish
(Harry) Reply is simple we′ll say it to begin with (both) If we don′t find a place Then we′ll make it right here Cause we′re rhyming for a reason We plan ′cause we can And we we didn′t ask for permission And we enter with a bang And the empire saying Everyone should have a face That′s why we be in the search For the mother place.
I see the summer in a little green leaf now One million trees now their swords unsheathed now Little children been inside for weeks now Running out water fighting in the streets now I always lived for that summertime day How to be sure good weather coming your way How to be sure you leave behind clouds of grey We head east, up to Byron Bay
Up to Byron Bay....
Take a bus if you must or just drive you′ll Head straight in to the sea on arrival Deserted beaches for me soul survival In the East I find me gods much greater than the bible And now I sit by this creek while I rest I think lucky me because this East is still the West I got food I got water I got peace I am blessed I got no bombs fallin on me chest Fallin on me chest
I′m reminded as I sit by this creek now Camel in the desert bone dry for a week now The scene of learning on Earth this ancient land now Ancient libraries buried in the sand now
Now everybody jump up, jump up and down now The leaders of this country they are wearing the crowns Represent the people of the country and the towns So people shout out for compassion or this ship is going down
And in the East I see fun I see sun But in another East I hear bombs I hear guns Some good people they run run run And we put them in a cage, let them burn in the sun We just let them burn in the sun What′s to be done? We just let them burn in the sun
We so lucky why not share it around now? We so lucky why not share it around now? We so lucky why not share it around now? We so lucky why not share it around now?
Listen doctor I have pain that grows inside myself shelf me please I just can’t ease the pain I need some drugs to help ah pollution fills my lungs and convolution fills my mind ah my legs do ache I contemplate that living’s less than fine my spine does tingle when I think of being freed from this curse but what is worse I feel life is a bubble blown until it’s burst oh doctor I am desperate to get rid of this feeling oh doctor I am desperate for some good soul healing
The doctor turned and gave a grin and reached into his bag but instead of an injection got a record with a tag that said listen to this daily with hip shaking and such things then he puts the record in grabs a mic and starts to sing you need some
One four five to make you high to make you high to make you high to make you high when heaven falling from the sky to make you high to make you high
Doctor I am feeling better what was that you sang did you write it or recite it or just steal it from a band ah my bones are feeling stronger and my spirit’s feeling fresh ah that dose of 145 has put the life back in my breath ‘yes yes yes’ the doctor said then he sat me down and say ‘young man don’t think I wrote these chords they’re written in your brain’ and when you hear them there’s a shakedown that begins within the mind cos these three chords make people feeling better all the time ah they keep repeating like a scratch on a cd but it’s quality cos these three harmonies breed positivity protecting against insanity of modern insecurities believe me when I tell you all you need is to be hearing all that
One four five to make you high to make you high to make you high to make you high when they said what and you said why to make you high to make you high
The doctor turned and gave a grin and reached into his bag but instead of an injection got a record with a tag that said listen to this daily with hip shaking and such things then he puts the record in grabs a mic and starts to sing you need some
One four five to make you high to make you high when you could not count to pi when you’re told you can’t fly to make you high to make you high
times like these you need some One four five .... hhhuuummnn
Some days I wake and I do look outside and I know what I see And think the dream from where I′ve come might be reality I stand and I do walk and I do look and I fall short of making sense and on days like this I....
On days like these I′m looking at billboards and machines and commercials on the screens when the pictures in the trains playing games inside the brains of all the people
who oblige like ants to advertising sydnicates I look at shit like this and I cannot make no sense of it
Mad about thinking about thinking about all the streets that never end filled with cars and trucks and parking lots and fumes that fill my head and then my mind begins to hurt it beats inside of me I look and I do wonder but I cannot make no sense of it
It drives me mad hearing all the mobiles that do ring seeing kids with phones like dogs with bones destruction these things bring and then I′m sure man must be mad to worship tools like this I think of better things and I cannot make no sense of it
I was born in a land where natives they were shamed and today the government′s afraid to recognise the blame and deal with reconciliation that does stink I think of better things and I cannot make no sense of it
And when it happens it’s like honey and pain horns in the rain misty seas and mysteries a dog with no name it’s that time again not sure if I’m sleeping but the vision’s as clear as fog on the pier someone fishing aimlessly a thought’s an idea a sound is an ear and gods with none believing being chased by the lamb a knife in its hand looked down from that mountain saw the moon get a tan on the beach with no sand something came and something ran to make up my mind is it bleak or it fine? She looked a little doubtful smirked and said it’s divine to light with no lime sometimes
Oh it’s too late I can’t stop moving my mouth I’ll shush but I’ll shout something’s got a hold of me those words coming out like froth on a stout dreamboat’s sailing into stormy weather I see salty debris cows and tigers jumping at some mad dignity but passionately we’ll be oh finding ways without words to sing and to purr loving without declarations stuttered and slurred elephants blurred nerves resisting urges serve to speak with no sight a bat taking flight only to find tooth marks in that sex dynamite my girl’s got a bite that’s right
I’ve got the clouds on a string That I pull with my little finger elegantly What is this oh what’s this music on the breeze It sounds like all my holidays when my father used to say: ‘Let’s go down to the beach’ And we’d go down to the beach My little sisters and me Sometimes a man can feel like he is just a puppet And the wind blows him here and blows him there But when I kiss you my dear I feel like a buccaneer And water makes its music everywhere
CHORUS Saltwater Oh how I miss your misty kisses Saltwater Oh what expressionless bliss Is this?
I’ve got the sky in my eyes As I lie on my back in the deep blue sea What is this oh what could this strange feeling be? It feels like: It feels like: It feels like: I don’t know what it feels like But it feels right Sometimes a man is like an icecream in a desert And he wonders what is it we seek? Like water runs through your fingers Memories rise up from the deep.
Well they say and they say And they say this is home but we′ve been wandering round here too long With no direction to go
Walking and wandering and wondering why the time goes slow Walking and wandering with half-closed eyes the time is a-wandering by
Woah, wandering Walking round in No Man′s Land Time rolls on This time we′re spending time on wandering Walking round in No Man′s Land Time rolls on Oh, this time we′re spending time on
And today and today is a day going on for over two hundred years of being lost two hundred years too long
Walking and wandering and wondering why The time goes slow Walking and wandering with half-closed eyes The time is a-wandering by
Woah, wandering Walking round in No Man′s Land Time rolls on This time we′re spending time on wandering Walking round in No Man′s Land Time rolls on Oh, this time we′re spending time on
And today and today is a day going on for over two hundred years of being lost two hundred years too long
Walking and wandering and wondering why The time goes slow Walking and wandering with half-closed eyes The time is a-wandering by
When a room becomes an altar and what beast that must exist it flies with music from our lips and steals a kiss and blows it out into the mist where castles stand on cliffs and cobbled streets they wind and drift and moods are made and set but shift this place where skies are low and birds are big
We went to sleep in day and woke again the same day we have learned to cheat the time and find the hours that the clocks cannot define as I looked up from that stage I felt the thing that had been made And how it raged And how it raged
How to explain? Something makes me howl and shiver to the core ah outside if it was raining then inside there’d be a storm we’ve got a pair of hands for climbing and a pair of knees to spring and a pair of balls for strength
and a pair of lungs to sing and these simple chords that say: music is the language of us all
To write these songs is to be written ah the chorus always knows what is in store and what is more the thing that sings us is the thing that makes us roar I felt that beast ‘kisso my neck we clapped our hands and heard them spread there was a trumpet and a call a pack of Spaniards screamed for more music is the language of us all music is the language of us all music is the language of us all music is the language of us all
I find it hard to speak emotional cos these things are the things that can’t be said and when it’s struck it strikes the memory from our heads once I wrote to play’s to be immortal for a night and despite the unknown hours something happens when the light turns out the lights then we fade and yawn to music that’s the language of us all
I was in a plane to Panama And a fly landed on her thigh And I thought I brushed it off quite brashly I introduced myself And she said her name was sky.
A simple Hi and I could tell That her plainness was well seamless And somewhere deep inside She drove a calm and weightless determination
And to what lands her mind would travel I don′t know but I was so curious I had to keep on thinking of her floating through the clouds Yeah
I asked her wether she enjoyed being in the air And airily she answered with an accent so careful I could feel each syllable while I love things that seem impossible I love things that seem impossible Well I love things that seem impossible And I love things that seem impossible Yeah
Bridge Seem impossible Seem impossible I love things that seem impossible
And to what lands her mind would travel I don′t know but I was so curious I had to keep on thinking of her floating through the clouds Yeah
Rhyme and reason Reason and rhyme We asked the old man “What is the time?” The time he said “I do not know. The clock stopped working some time ago” “What a disaster” was our reply “We don’t know if it’s 1 o’clock or half past 5” The man kept talking things were fine Looking at the sun he said The time was for reason and rhyming
Reason and rhyme Rhyme and reason We asked the old lady “What is this season?” The season she said “You can’t be sure. The weathers changed, can’t tell you any more” “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god what a thing! We don’t know if it’s summer, autumn, winter or spring” “But wait,” she said “This might be pleasing. The time has come for rhyming and rhyming and reason”
Rhyme and reason and destination We ask ourselves, what is this nation? This place they say is no mans land And terra nullius is written in the sand So what With all these spaces Can’t we be independent and combine the races Well we will see what we can do Like time and season We’ll rhyme and then we’ll reason along
I climb the ladder of those black and white keys They take me out and into places some are real some are imaginary And though she sways between a mystery and light She walks with me, she walks with me alone into the night
Tonight I see the sunny moon is rising again Three seasons passed since you were here then disappeared a friend Yet now exploded from its dream back in that place oh how it beams And I see that you were glowing in the shadows And you′ve been here all along Ah you never left my side and now I feel my arms grow Stronger
You may forget the details and you can forget the dates but never Forget the moment when the light revealed her face To be poor by lack of money but by god be rich in prize I found my youths desire dark within her eyes And the tent kept breathing something and then she cried - ′Hold on we′re going somewhere else tonight′ We′re going somewhere else tonight baby yeh!
And my friends they are the heroes of the loneliness that′s life And though everyone has a weakness only some they are defiant While most of us can see only a few have the gift of sight Would you walk with me Would you walk with me alone into the night The sun is set
(harry’s verse) Chillin at the club Pimpin with my money (Well actually, my parties are more like) Chillin in the sun With tea and milk and honey Tea and lamingtons That’s my idea of fun But I do enjoy the odd occasional bottle of rum As we learnt in the songs that I have previously sung When its done with fruit juice at a barbecue in the sun If the afternoon is begun with kangaroo and capsicum I do eat meat but I don’t like killing So don’t crash my party while I’m sitting back chilling My oh my why oh why are people so violient I ain’t trying to be a lion I extend my alliance To anyone who likes to just sit back and chitchat Maybe have a jam, spit scats and eat biscuits Before you know its midnight and you’re running through the moonlight And you realise…
Lord unchain my hands let me sing inside the crowded trams let me dance among the traffic jams we′re going to sleep on the St Kilda sands
Lord unbind my feet let me mingle with the good people we meet water rising up into the street unbind my feet
‘The apparition of these faces in the crowd; petals on a wet black bough" Ezra Pound found the formula our houses are rectangular but life is curved not angular so when things start to strangular remember rain still falls on the halls of power new babies being born every hour and the eagle keeps watch on the old clock tower over me...
CHORUS
On the train I refrain from sitting with head and shoulders bowed they told me time is of the essence no wandering allowed but then I saw a pretty girl whose features stood out in the crowd went ten minutes past my stop waiting for her to look around I′m just another clown kicking around in Melbourne town cooling out, relaxing watching the world go round so if you ever have the time and you want to go drink some wine I′d rather greet you with a smile than greet you with a frown...
Lord unchain my hands let me sing inside the crowded trams let me dance among the traffic jams we′re going to sleep on the St Kilda sands
Lord unbind my feet let me mingle with the good people we meet water rising up into the street unbind my feet
So by now you have seen me By now I have seen you Would you would you would you Move with me
Looked through a looking glass and what did I see? I saw one thousand cameras shooting and a giant TV and a mass of people sitting watching watching that big screen when around them was a fire burning that they couldn′t see they couldn′t breathe but kept watching and thought things they would be fine believed that the screen would be screening for all of time conceived the idea they were behind the screen divine but when it came to living were what petrol is to wine
Hear through some speakers sounding what did I hear? I hear some plastic singer singing plastic lyrics in my ear and a mass of empty hands clapping with an empty cheer when in the distance was some soul music that they couldn′t hear neared the speaker with the plastic song and tried their best to move cleared a floor and tried to shake it but they couldn′t find their groove they feared to recognise that what they heard was music abused and when it came to dancing their bodies refuse
So by now you have seen me By now I have seen you Would you would you would you Move with me
We got soul Soul soul soul tonight We got soul Shake and we provide 1,2,3,4 So step from side to side now Honey′s move your hips from left to right now Fellas got to get loose to keep it tight now Well alright well alright

We got soul Soul soul soul tonight We got soul Shake and we provide
So step from side to side now Honey′s move your hips from left to right Fellas got to get loose to keep it tight Well alright well alright well alright
One night when I was sleeping a gypsy lady sneak into my head and she said ‘I’ve got a bottle of schnapps lets get to know each other drinking a belly full of laughs and some thoughts that beyond thinking let’s play a game of those cards my friend because tonight I’m going to show you how the night it never never never ends’
Morning is one thousand dreams away and our expedition telling us to stay so stay we will we’ve got that gypsy lady perched upon our bow and the empire ship be heading where the wild ones they are now oh how the gods look down and frown at those who never stood said ‘my name is no-one’ then went a little mad
And from time to time she sneaks back inside me and she say ‘lucky sing the secrets that I taught you always’ replied ‘as long as I am living I never forget that the sun is never shining and it never set’ so let’s make some fire and smoke and then we’ll go exploring in the night that never never never end
Morning is one thousand dreams away and our expedition telling us to stay so stay we will we’ve got that gypsy lady perched upon our bow and the empire ship be heading where the wild ones they are now oh how the gods look down and frown at those who never stood said ‘my name is no-one’ then went a little mad
I’ve got a tingle in my back and something sparking in my toes I get the shivers through my body when that trumpet blows and while asleep I am awake and while awake I am dreaming before I start to think I am scheming to start a party tonight my friends because tonight I’m going to show you how the night it never never never ends
His mother was a snake His father was a scarecrow Born in the desert with his hat on his head Never missed a shot Sharp as a Pharaoh Tequila in the sunrise The desert was his bed Now he could dance the barn dance Like nobody before him But no woman would take him Cos his eyes were rather strange In them you could see the emptiness of the desert Yellow like a scarecrow Black like a snake
He was a voodoo cowboy And he had never found a girl to call his own On and on and on That lonely cowboy But a cowboy′s never really Cowboy′s never really alone
He had a horse Whose name was plenty And they saw things no man or beast has ever seen Out in the redness Out in the empty Where ghost and spirits walk around like you and me
He met a girl Called Annabelle And she was just the prettiest thing he′d ever seen Under a lake at the edge of the world He met a girl Walking through the edges of his dreams
He was a voodoo cowboy And he was following a psychedelic stream On and on and on That lonely cowboy But a cowboy′s never really Cowboy′s never really alone
So he rode down Under the water And the sunset made a fire above his head In search of warmth in search of love In search of heaven above But all he felt was cold And all he touched was wet But he could see her down a little bit deeper And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest So he reached out and she reached out And he touched her And she drew him in And kissed him as he breathed his final breath
Because you see He was a voodoo cowboy And he had finally found a girl he could call his own On and on and on Lucky lucky cowboy Because cowboy′s almost always Cowboys almost always die alone
Yesterday the sky looked sweet when we dropped a big bomb at our feet and sometime soon we all might zoom to space and continue with another zoo
Work and pace for paper face spend it wisely and keep it safe because the human race is a non-stop race with too many trials but no real case
Something about this second something about this hour take away the money then the time becomes the power a moment just to swim and to shower and to sing and to brighten and to dim and to sleep and to wander in
Nothing oh sweet nothing today we′re doing nothing at all
Yesterday I climbed a hill then cycle down speedy on a great big wheel feeling ill laboured still grinding and stressing in that giant mill
Drove a car stop and start round and round in circles never got too far running barefoot on the hot hot tar ‘cause if you stop then you burn then your feet get scars
Something about this instance something about this minute striving for the future but don′t realise that we′re in it a moment just to float to ponder and to dote to dry and to soak and to take a little toke of that
Nothing oh sweet nothing today we′re doing nothing at all
I want some culture Never mind the cheese Just want to hear music And originality
I want some culture Never mind the TV Just want to hear music Down at the 303
This is a rhyme about how good music can be How mean are its bass lines its melodies and beats Now it′s good to have positivity But you also must be able to crush adversaries because We have terrorists in the music industry Yes terrorists trying to define what music be We are modern medicine men - cure all ills with ill beats But some people are making music sick And stealing all the chi You know who you are and yes judge not lest ye Be judged I agree in front of my plasma screen but While you′re making a concert of convicts who Stumbled through the contest I′m taking the Concept of convex and putting it in a concave context And if you were Rocksteady, Bebop and Shredder I′d be Krang... doing that evil shit better Music is for living yes music is essential Music should take risks and be experimental
And though you′d like to hear a song That sings everything′s all right The temperature is warm The fire horses sleep So gently comes the night
You close your eyes and stare The ground they′re on is bare But once it was as deep As wildest giants dreams It′s no longer there
And all of our desires They mirror skies with flames And smoke out heaven′s halls Who was that you called They′re no longer there
Here it goes again Here it goes again Here it goes again
What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead? When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept What would you leave behind when those who bear your name Are born in that place that you wrecked? What would you leave behind when you′re no longer there?
Would you sail to distant shores? And hide within the hills And softly close your doors Pretend the world is safe And wait for heaven′s call
Or would you turn and face the seas And come beside your cave There′s chance but if you dare And swift as honour′s steeds Before it′s no longer there
Here it goes again Here it goes agaaain Here it goes aga .. ain!
What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead? When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept What would you leave behind When those who bear your name are born in that place that you wrecked? What would you leave behind when you′re no longer there?
To deny or to despair It′s really just the same Everything between It means we have to change Cos when a one forgets The world begins to fade And all the shapes and shades That made the colours see When they suddenly turned grey That they′re no longer there
Was going to write a song at a time When my life and my moods were in order and fine But the hour was late and my room was a state And I realized that song I would never create And so this is a song I discovered instead The song about living before we are dead And by living I don′t mean perfection like gold Cos living my friends is the sweet unresolved
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LEAN OVER YOUR BALCONIES AND DON′T RUN INSIDE LOOK AFTER YOUR WORLD AND SHE MIGHT TREAT YOU RIGHT LET RANDOM-THINGS-PROVIDE-IMAGINATION SOMETIMES OH
I′ve seen people trying to package their love Like a dove in the kitchen with a note that says Make sure you scrub well and plan and prepare everything Affection as clean as a triangle ting But love it or not love′s as mad as they come Oh it′s sly and it′s wise and it′s wonderfully dumb And while some might still say ‘No it′s pure like one′ My love it is wild and not mild and on the run
An Austrian waltz is a very strange thing When it′s played in the midst of the Melbourne music boxing ring And who said that culture can′t grow from a whim My god there is strength when a cat learns to swim ‘And what is a king′ he screamed at the wind A king is decisive without and within They can′t make me stumble they don′t hit my chin They told me I mumbled so I decided to sing
I′d never be too old or bitter and thin Was born with a smile and I′d die with a grin And I dive in the ocean when the sky tumbles in And I′d rise when I find a way to make her shining And I know the trick that the gods love to play You say you want one thing they take it away But action I′ve found is a seven letter word Pretend you want a shoebox And find you′ve found the world
He lives ah he lived ah he live ah he′s living And I′m never going to grow old wishing Could have my time again
He shuffle with the gypsy lady in my dreams And she screams with her hips when he kiss her oh so
Something when he moves doesn′t have to move much But he does it with such gentle tenderness, I′m singing
Young men stomping in the bullpen Looking for some good zen Often to do the dumb things Looking for some a-ah-ah-amen
There′s a soul man listening to the soul tamb Playing in his right hand now he found this own sound
And it′s ok
He never speak for-the-sake-of-speaking Doesn′t talk all-that-talking no he doesn′t say nothing Til he got something to say
He shuffle with the gypsy lady in my dreams And she screams with her hips when he kiss her oh so Something got me singing oh I never never Never gonna Grow old wishing Could have my time again
And for all of the sweet loving that I have received in the sun in the rain by the moon by the sea there is one time that I’m thinking of one time where one woman did knock me off my feet and my knees were shaking and my jaw was dropping and my eyes were squinting and my smile was growing and my pants were bulging and my hands were sweating and my chest was beating so I cry ‘excuse me, what is the secret to your song?’
Cause when you’re walking along when you’re walking along…
Your legs are a melody my hands would like to play and your hips are a note that does take me away and your face and your eyes and your hair and your waist and your smile drive me to distraction she turned and she gave the evil eye ‘why thankyou’ she said then she sigh ‘ah there’s one thing I think you failed to mention…’ ‘What?’ I said then she said ‘It’s the rhythm you forgot’ and right then I knew what was what and she snuck to my lips and she kissed them said ‘young man I’ll show you some rhythm’
And she’ll show you some rhythm
And since then ha the rhythm’s been running through my veins in my thoughts in my eyes in my head it’s insane it’s the thing that does drive me to scream on the street when I think of some places it’s taken me I feel horny when I thinking of some of that rhythm in my mind what she gave what she gives to me all of the time say a little bit of sweet loving in your day all my friends know it keeps the bad thoughts away so sing with your hips my baby when you’re dancing to this tune and when this tune is through we’ll sneak to some place and continue to… say sing with your hips my baby when you’re dancing to this tune and when this tune is through we’ll sneak to some place and continue to – she said I’ll show you some rhythm
I’ve got a key And a piece of paper in my pocket deep In my pocket piece of paper and a key as I wander through the street War is there a war or is there isn’t a war anymore? Somebody told me that nothing is for sure Can you hear the ocean roar
On each street is a tree In the distance the desert sleeps Sometimes a sigh is a song And a breath is a melody Oceans rise and oceans fall So just what does tomorrow mean? I give smile a give a song For one moment’s eternity
Na na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na
Oh but it’s some mob Some mob that brought me here I know it is my job To seek my fortune Nanna thank you for this mob Remember you now you are gone If I went away Tropical island somewhere sunny every day But everyone I ever cared about remained Would I tan or would I fade? So every morning he wake Spend his day at the daybreak And every spoonful he take Be of something his own make Mountains rise and mountains fall So just what does forever mean? I give a smile I give a song For one moment’s eternity
Do you ever look around turn your ear to the ground show your face to the sky on a night when the skies echoe sounds from inside of your mind on the stage that you shone where the sun did become you and move with your thoughts through the sighs and the scenes of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been your reflection in shadows and dreams? - your reflection in shadows and dreams
Did you ever see a man who did walk down the street white robe with no shoes on his feet and on top of his head place a box with two slits and the sign from his neck said ‘I do not exist’ or a woman who could not remember her name did stutter and stutter again and again and saw you and called you her son her eyes said ‘my being is gone but still I’m not dead’?
Miserere
Have you ever seen a sound have you listened to an image have you ever touched a thought have you ever tasted nothing have you ever told a lie that was true more than truth because truth it had lied all its life when it spoke to you? And what did it say it is that it is this this goes here here is there it is not yes it is it was dulling your senses your eyes they were bound have you ever my friends been looking around?
And the other replies with a wave of a hand I am already here in this promised land but not by a god and not by a king and not by a spirit deep from within I am here because a miracle’s a whim it’s a flash of glory it’s an empty tin and maybe might lets you in not to save you but to keep on looking-
Miserere…
Have you ever been so happy that you’re sad? that the lights turn to stars and the stars become eyes and hello’s are goodbye’s and the laughs are the sigh’s and the show disappears with the note ‘until next time’
Long live living if living can be this
Long live living if living can be this
Long live living if living can be this
Long live living if living can be this
Do you ever look around turn your ear to the ground show your face to the sky on a night when the skies echoe sounds from inside of your mind on the stage that you shone where the sun did become you and move with your thoughts through the sighs and the scenes of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been your reflection in shadows and dreams Do you ever look around and find what is yet to be found?
I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’ like he could and I cannot play a lullaby like it should
I’ll give you all night movie marathon and a triple expresso so you can stay awake it might be late - but it’s never too late for that lovin my sexy babe
I used to cry but now I have to laugh because she’s got that torment to a fine art smart like a foxy and craf-ty-as-a-cat i’m looking up as i’m lying on my back bite the beast if i want a big piece of the pie but she’s taken the feast in the blink of an eye I can-not-jus-ti-fy what’s going on - it feels so right when it seems so wrong like a plot hatched in the sweet spot of that trap - ask what she’s schemes she say ‘oh this and that’ then she snaps like a camera in black with a flash puts the drum in the drama the hand in the clap she’s a map with no bearings attached - no safety-in-this-match fire you can’t catch then zap I was struck by that bolt before dawn then by breakfast honey we was signed and sworn I’ll give you all night movie marathon and a triple expresso so you can stay awake it might be late - but it’s never too late for that lovin my sexy babe something always telling me ‘save prayers before dawn’ cos what happens when I’m with you makes me shake my head then smile and yawn I’m worn out but I’m beaming and it seems that we are dreamy as we head out through that strange old morning door
This game is no game but it’s played all the same and I love it even if it makes me deranged it’s like tears in the rain burning spears in my brain cause me pain sometimes make me drained but I cannot complain - mad the ugly good and bad had some happy with my sad and some tricks in my bag when it’s up run a muck like a bull that just bucked when it’s down it’s a drag and you fight with no partner to tag - at times I would dive in the sea to escape from the rising and crashing malea drink tea with a fat fish and find a golden key then rise to the surface and open my baby and maybe she’d say ‘we are crazy’ the two of us together like melbourne weather be like balls in a maze see we rolling along in obcurity but when we meet in the middle say mmm it’s a treat
I’ll give you all night movie marathon and a triple expresso so you can stay awake - it might be late but it’s never too late for that lovin my sexy babe something always telling me ‘save your prayers before dawn’ cos what happens when I’m with you makes me shake my head then smile and yawn I’m worn out but I’m beaming and it seems that we are dreamy as we head out through that strange old morning door
I used to laugh but now I have to cry because today my baby tell me that it’s time to say goodbye ask her ‘why what did I do? You and me we were so sly’ then she sigh ‘that’s true we were slinky through and through but it’s sad and it’s set I get high then I get depressed and I guess when we’re together it’s that happy kind of stress’ touching left right down kiss my finger I reply ‘I can’t deny you were the best and by the best I mean the mess you made I must confess I never met-a-more sexy maid that smell like me so bless your wayward ways and loving craze and crazy days and things you’de say and looks you made you’re not the queen of hearts you’re the queen of spades and you’de take my breath away any day that way so anyway is this the end? Is this the fifth act of the play? I kissed her then I turned and was about to walk away when I sense a little tingle that begin down from below then I hear her with a whisper ‘you’re the most gullible man I know’
Don′t want to hear you say it′s hot when something′s wrong baby Don′t want to hear you say it′s nothing when it′s not cos I Don′t want to love you like that radio song honey Don′t want to love you like that radio song
Before we go I′d like to play with you again Before we go I′d like to play that show we′ve been cos I I want to love you like a festival song honey I want to love you like a festival song
And when I see that morning light I′m going to hold you in my arms And let the everything be fine or let it finally drift apart We′d go back to that place where we met and made our mark And when I see that morning light I′m going hold you in my arms Or let you go
Now we return and for an hour these songs ignite But one it sings for you I′d love you for a night more than The memories of broken images and fights more than The memories of broken images and fights
WE BELIEVE In the grass in the trees WE SUPPORT Living life cause life is short WE UPHOLD Sky of blue sun of gold WE MAINTAIN On sunny days all sadness and pain be relieved WE BELIEVE The breeze blows the leaves in the gypsy king′s court WE SUPPORT Food and wine song and thought and when the night gets cold WE UPHOLD The following rules that I′ll sing to you all We believe in melody and harmony and all things sweet we sing a yum-a-yum chum to the moon and the sun and the rumble of the drums and the big fat beat we believe in the ace up the sleeve and we shine our gold teeth at the cats in the alleys a flame on a match that the wind can′t catch and when the bad guys attack the empire strikes back
Parking Inspector - just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector…
Went to my friends when I found a fine beat cos I like to play a rhythm where the rhythm plays me play it all day on a balcony above the street where old Franky and me we shuffle with our feet And old man Goergie takes some sugar with his tea when he’s stirred by a melody of hands moving easy you see it reminds him dreams by the sea where the breeze blows underneath that island tree
And we played til the playing Gave us the munchies then we played in the kitchen made the easy gods happy cos we left them a little chilli-special and some chocolate we eat because it’s sweet when I leave I am smiling at the things I haven’t done oh I haven’t broke a sweat and I haven’t had to run for the list of one-thousand -and-one that does plague me on some days when the sun rays don’t come
Parking Inspector just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector [won’t let you wreck my fun]
When I get to my car I am faced with a sight that is strange and it’s sad and it’s mad it’s not right there’s one thousand and one spaces free but I see that he find me guilty of the time over fee Now I know why my mother why my mother warned me said ‘you might be lucky but know nothing comes for free’ she is right - entirely cos the ticket paid the song that I sing to this beat
Parking inspector just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one but ah parking inspector won’t let you wreck my fun cos when I pay for my ticket I won’t curse and despise no i’ll run into the girl with the slinky blue eyes then my list of one thousand and one will remain I had plans to get it done but now my plans they have changed
Parking Inspector just made my list of one thousand one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
‘just listen to the bass and the funky drums’
Parking Inspector just made my list of one thousand grow a little more but ah parking inspector you won’t believe what I saw on the back of my ticket with invisible type was a map to the place with one thousand delights and a key that was one to that spot by the sea where the breeze blows underneath that island tree
His name was Beanni say where you been Beanni I saw you on your skateboard but I never saw your face just saw your beanie - Beanni
Her name was Fly Girl say where you been Fly Girl I seen you shake your mmm-boobie but I never saw your face just saw your fly sunglasses in the night and in the day
One day that Beanni was cruising down the street on his skateboard and his Beanni eyes did look and see that fine freaky Fly Girl and that Fly Girl who was dancing like only Fly Girl could did notice one cruisy Beanni flying right to where she stood
And then that Fly Girl was a’scream and laughing at the same time and till that Beanni did fly and fall and crash into her side and both of them did fall and roll around on their arses but then his beanie fell off and so did her round glasses Beanni reached down and picked up Fly Girl′s glasses from the ground and Fly Girl did grab Beanni′s beanie that she found and she gave him back his beanie said ′I like you with your beanie on′ and he did say ′your big black glasses look so sexy on′
They got together forever and ever after that and had some little Beanni Fly Girl and Fly Girl Beanni boys gave them glasses for their eyes and Beanni beanies for their heads and now the Beanni family′s dancing till the day they′re dead
Walking down the street with some evil in my eye and some thoughts in my head that were making me feel high on my head was a hoodi in my ears was some bass was walking by my dog when I saw that sexy face come towards me with a little cheeky smile if she was a phone I′d pick her up and dial the fire brigade or zero zero zero she stopped me in my tracks and I said ‘mmm hchello hchello...’
I was sleeping in the sand with some dreams in my head that were causing an extension to the towel and my bed and the waves were rolling like the curves on those legs of a sweet beach bella with that centrefold spread in the midst of the slumber I heard some footsteps creeping and I woke to discover the woman I′d been dreaming she knelt down beside said ′can I share your pillow?′ I rolled over and I said ‘well hchello hchello...’ Some like money making some like cars and some like the houses with the rooftop spas and some like to gossip about some rich sugar daddies but me and my friends we like the golden brown honeys and some like watching people living on TV that′s a little strange if you′re asking me cos I like to eat and laugh and **** and play down low these are the things I know well hchello hchello...
Welcome to this night welcome to this song welcome to these rhymes that be going on and on welcome to the empire and the funky empire tunes but most of all welcome to the bellas in this room... well hchello hchello
I’ve done too much of some things And not enough of others Just like all life lovers I’ve changed and changed and changed and changed From one thing to another I’ve had complicated dealings With complicated feelings And I’ve cut and bruised and torn I made blinds on the windows of my mind with the time that my back once wore I’m a single person in this universe And I am here to say to you: On the day that I die I’ll just give a smile And fly into the blue
CHORUS (Cause we’re all just) Protons, Neutrons, Electrons That rest on a Sunday Work on a Monday and someday soon We’ll be singing the old tunes Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-doo I’ll be sitting on the porch with you Then I’ll die and I’ll fly off into the blue
Some night I see the world with its winds and its whirls And I feel undefeated But every day I see the girl with the strawberry curl And I’m too shy to meet her Some nights I go to bed There’s a ghost in the air above my head And I tremble Sometimes I eat KFC Other times I give up meat And I just eat lentils I’m a singe person in the universe And I am here to sing a song About the day that I was born Till the day that I’ll be gone And the song won’t last for long (Cause we’re all just…)
CHORUS
And enemy is a remedy to a malady in your melody If you’re strong not brittle And a friend is a friend Is a friend to the end and it’s oh so simple A man is a man and a woman is a woman But the times we are living in demand That a man can change from a man to a woman And a woman can demand to be a man We’re just flesh with socks and locks and frocks And I am here to say to you On the day that I die I’ll just give a smile and fly into the blue (Cause we’re all just…)
Song and melodies change and change and sway but they still stay the same the songs that we sung when the dark days come are the songs that we sung when we chased them away if I ever found a pot of gold I′d buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vines I′m going to die with a twinkle in my eye ‘cause I sung songs spun stories loved laughed and drank wine
Tomorrow is another day the cats are out to play, to play that old rusty spaceship wants to sail into the milky way again on a river of red red wine
Run... (let′s have some) Fun... (we′ll) Drink... (a toast to the) Sun...
In summer the bushfires rage and rage and rage on such beautiful days and we fight them with water that runs through the cracks water we′re desperately trying to save so I′ll just live on wine and water my vines and sleep on the wind with the fires right behind and sing on the beaches and dance through the night oh we′ll cry ′pass the wine, pass the wine, pass the wine′
Run... (let′s have some) Fun... (we′ll) Drink... (a toast to the) Sun...
Oh what a beautiful day today! today′s a day to celebrate grab your bucket, grab your spade we′re heading down to Half Moon Bay I saw a plane go into a cloud I′m drunk I′m happy I′m singing and loud two o′clock in the arvo, but hey that′s allowed... I′m having a good time and of that I am proud
To the gods in the sky there′s one thing you can do you can send us some sun and we′ll play you this tune because sitting in our room lying down with a scoob and the sunshine through our window
It′s days like these that make us happy like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie hassle-free hours passing by with the beat one two said it′s days like these kicking back just doing what we do
Number one I′d find some loving in the sun with someone that can make me growl and hum say hmmm... a boom boom shak and the beat that she throw at me knocking me flat
Number two I′d cruise where the grass is smooth and the sound of the sea is a dreamy melody snooze all afternoon till the night time wake me cos shakedown soon
Number three I′d be dancing like a monkey up a tree find sweet simplicity by kissing my honey get funky like Bond when he′s played by Connery and get crafty like Don Corleone
Four watching Oliver jam a little more remember the night when I saw what i never never never seen before Lavender wrestling a rich wild boar
CHORUS
HARRY′S NIGHT TIME RHYME
And dirty hands I like them see they make the music that we play sound oh so sweet and my mother always made me eat broccoli and now look at me i′m as strong as can be so put some spice in my sauce honey in my tea an ace up my sleeve and a slinky plan b and most importantly my mad family they named me lucky and for that I′ll sing about days like these
This is a song that came upon me one night when the news it had been telling me about one more war and one more fight and ′aeh′ I sighed but then I thought about my friends then I wrote this declaration just in case the world end
Our guns we shot them in the things we said ah we didn′t need no bullets cos we rely on some words instead kill someone in argument outwit them with our brains and we′d kill ourselves laughing at the funny things we′d say
And bombs we had them saved for special times when the crew would call a shakedown we break down a party landmine women that so sexy they explode us with their looks ah we blowing up some speakers jumping round till the ground shook
And missiles they were the roadtrips that we launched t-t-tripping across this island starting missions at the break of dawn yawn and smile say ′what direction shall we take?′
′Somewhere where it warm and wet′ this be the route we′d always take and
Our weapons were our instruments made from timber and steel we never yielded to conformity but stood like kings in a chariot that′s riding on a record wheel
And our airforce flying when the frisbee in the sky have a session while we′re smoking now we′re feeling extra high and we′d sneak into a carpark with the skaties on our back and we′re flying down the levels howling ′on the attack now on the attack′
And battles they happened in these dancehalls see we′d rather fight with music choosing one the rhythm war battle at these shakedowns and we battle at these gigs we do battle in our bedrooms made some sweet love to the beat
Then our allies grew wherever we would roam see whenever we′re together any stranger feel at home in a way we are an army but this army not destruct no instead we′re doing simple things good loving find it run amuck
This be a declaration written about my friends it′s engraved into this song so they know I′m not forgetting them see maybe if the world contained more people like these then the news would not be telling me about all that warfare endlessly and
Our weapons were our instruments made from timber and steel we never yielded to conformity but stood like kings in a chariot that′s riding on a record wheel
Sun slink down say, Oh such a sexy time of day. For those who call it romance Haven′t learnt bout the Nature of those rays? They put some warmth in your spirit And a twinkle in your step, When you sing there′s an angel, But your devil has been kept For these nights where the sun still shine Long after it has set.
Manic, magic, mayhem, mr might be moving massive your desire, She shot the two tequilas wipes her lip And starts a beaming behind that savage smile. I wanted to write a love song eh, But the night time sun said it′s time for play. If these two eyes could make a sound Then this is what they′d say...
Dream-like moments find us With a flash they Blind us shining feline tears. They touch you where it′s soft Then make us mad with that music spear. We cry tonight if it did end us We′d have laughed ourselves to death, Then our souls would find that shakedown Find that heaven in our chest, In these nights where the sun still shine Long after it has set.
Looking, listening, lunaticing, loving, living, lusting it′s divine, We saw the sign it said a boom shak From the window in the sky. I wanted to write a love song eh, But the night time sun said it′s time for play. If these two eyes could make a sound Then this is what they′d say...
I wanted to write a love song eh, But the night time sun said it′s time for play. If these two eyes could make a sound Then this is what they′d say... THE CAT EMPIRE!
(I wanted to write a love song eh But it happened the other way... I wanted to write a love song eh But it happened the other way...
I wanted to write a love song eh But it happened the other way... I wanted to write a love song eh But it happened the other way...
I wanted to write a love song eh But it happened the other way...)
I would not tell you how I feel Anymore because I′ve seen How men find offence in reason I save my heart for my family My soul for work My mind in moving Through the world
Although my young ideal is gone My embrace not so blind And my trust is never certain I try to find what′s among us Not to unite but to realise that To waste′s defeat
And when uncertainty reveals When the consequences ark And the act seems in the balance Music is born from an instinct And that is my truth In the moment that I Need it most
Set in motion my imagination′s miles A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my Young trials lead me sailing down this stream Of hidden songs and steam and my - Piano it floats and echoes A moonbeam through the kite she sent Read ‘Is your wooden boat in sight?′ And while I replied ‘it′s not′ It was in fact not far from right outside I would surprise her wake her up and rise her Go swimming in the night′s horizon then dry her Offer the familiar passage of my outstretched hand
‘Say when you staying home′ she said ‘Why not come on my boat instead?′ ‘Cos I′m tired of all your currents and your tides Your moods creating whirlpools And you′re in love with the ride and I Want - some - peace and quiet!′
So we fought a while caught our breath a while I told her how the purple flowers glow along the river side She told me all she wanted was me home with some time I showed her how the sky was only water inclined I told her all about the huts the kind of music we played She reminded me that ‘Flashes pass a house is well made′ I told her about the spot where all the ocean′s collide She said that ‘You could have that with me every night′ and so Set in motion my imagination′s miles A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my Young trials leads me sailing down this stream of hidden songs and steam and my - Piano it floats and echoes
‘So when you coming home′ she said ‘Why not come on my boat instead?′ ‘Cos I′m tired of all your currents and your tides Your moods creating whirlpools And you′re in love with the ride and I ...
No mountain can see But sometimes a mountain can sing Or hum at least I have heard one Humming on the evening we ...
And no horizon can sleep But sometimes horizons can close their eyes And drift into one moment somewhere Halfway between The distance and a dream
And all my senses′ honesty And all my senses′ honesty they belong to you
Alone I stand alone I fall There is no option Alone with you
And though my point of view seems sad I believe it′s not so bad Alone with you
And all my senses′ honesty And all my senses′ honesty they belong to you Alone I stand alone I fall There is no option anymore Alone with you And though my point of view seems sad I believe it′s not so bad Alone with you Alone I stand alone I fall There is no option anymore Alone with you And though my point of view seems sad I believe it′s not so bad Alone with you
One day one woman asked him ‘what do you to survive?’ he said ‘oh my dear listen here’ and this is what he cried
On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing ‘dancing to be free’ my feet they’re paying tribute to the Bobby Marley legacy
My knees they’ve got some cuts and bruises from skating all my days when i’m skating with my friends my troubles drift away
I say my legs they’re wearing baggy pants I like to move around cos getting down and jumping up these are some good things that I found
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa boom shak the empire be rising Aeehhhiiiaaaaa boom shak we making some lovin Aeehhhiiiaaaaa boom shak the greedy men running Aeehhhiiiaaaaa boom shak got two shoes for dancin
My waist it’s got a slinky belt with a clip that’s quick to open because loving is the sweetest thing and from my waist it happen
And my stomachs got some tasty food that’s making me feel good cos sharing some meals is something i wish the world could do
And my chest it wears a singlet ah my chest it beating proud my chest suggest I am a man that no institution can knock down And around my neck is superstition hanging from a chain because i’ve got my gods but in the end I make my own way
CHORUS
My mouth it’s got a great big smile that shows some great big teeth to friends it brings a happiness and to enemies it means defeat
And my eyes they’ve got some vision that can see through many lies ah my eyes they look for better things the better things to see in life
And my ears are wearing head phones that do play my favourite songs not music i’m told to like but the songs that make me dance along
Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing ‘dancing to be free’ my feet they’re paying tribute to the bobby marley legacy
I left the house left the room with the foxy on my back And my supplies in a magic pack And I followed the sound of music Not up a hill ... but down to an old wharf shack
Inside I heard the trumpet call I salute to the champions on the wall And in the Jazz of squalls and impassioned brawls she danced
And the night she looked so fine to me Oh I am a man on an Odyssey And so tie me to the mast I must believe!
Wow didi didi I just had to look I said wow didi didi how those hips they shook Eye patch tongue ring little black hook Welcome fishies to my hook
And the tiny chefs they waved their giant knives And the dark goumas they flicked dynamite Still I kept the sight of my desire
And this one thing′s sure I made no apologies Lights dimmed but she shone my mythology And I must admit she felt so alive
Wow didi didi I just had to look I said wow didi didi how those hips they shook Eye patch tongue ring little black hook Welcome fishies to my hook
She waves for everybody down on the floor As if to pray to the gods of the festival And there we were in the depths of the wild below
Her face so close I could taste the distant shores She whispered ′wait for the trumpets call′ It′s not exactly love it′s to adore
Wow didi didi I just had to look I said wow didi didi how those hips they shook Eye patch tongue ring little black hook Welcome fishies to my hook
Know your name And sing it loud Know your na-a-a-a-ame Though I′m saying this again Know your name And sing it loud
Though I listen when you talk to me Your eyes, they seem cold And I wish I might remind you of the time When they held the sky On and on the song seems to find you alone
When it rains I hear that sound
Though I listen when you talk to me Your eyes, they seem cold And I wish I might remind you of the time When they held the sky Why′d your spirit cry? My oh my You should have seen you in your prime
I love you like oil Coming down hard Need you so fast Need you so right away Like a road train I need you babe Let′s burn it all away But I love you like water You give me order It′s getting hotter Believe me when I say That like a spring rain I need you babe But nothing last forever after all .... I′ll love you til the ocean takes us all
This is the story of two lovers like twins They would do lovers things blame original sin Look into their eyes only for the meaning of the hour As if there only everything existed in their power, yet Lo and behold they drifted of a stream humming How does it go? Oh ′Life is but a dream′ Well the steam became a river and the river start to tow They, they didn′t notice at all
I love you like oil Coming down hard Need you so fast Need you so right away Like a road train I need you babe But nothing last forever after all .... I′ll love you til the ocean takes us all
And on this black day the people shouted from the shore Screaming, ′Stop gazing and swim to save us all!′ But the twins they didn′t hear at all they whispered nothings Down the waterfall And for what? Why did love become this void? When the ones we love are the one we would destroy Have you heard about the phrase says ′Ignorance is bliss′? Well, what bliss could lead to this.
When I need you like water You give me order It′s getting hotter Believe me when I say That like a spring rain I need you babe But nothing last forever after all .... I′ll love you til the ocean takes us all
Bridge
I love you like oil Coming down hard Need you so fast Need you so right away Like a road train I need you babe Let′s burn it all away But I love you like water You give me order It′s getting hotter Believe me when I say That like a spring rain I need you babe But nothing last forever after all .... I′ll love you til the ocean takes us all
I like the sound of St Petersburg bells banging in my head The night train rattle and shake and rumble through that cabin bunk bed Now Sigmund said something about this super static travel tension that we get My magic woman met this woman while the wheels squealed and the tracks they gripped and sped
My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way We took a stroll got a ham and cheese roll and some strong coffee On the TV it′s Germany and Italy You be the Goalie Holly I am the referee
Hey hey I need some strong coffee My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way Hey hey I need some strong coffee My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way
When I look down I found the edges of the mattress start to levitate The next thing I knew we were above the city gates Rised over steeple tops and all I can think to say was ′You be the Kremlin and I′ll be the saint And you can be the person from the head of state′
It doesn′t matter what I say It doesn′t matter what I do It seems I′m going to have to change my look for you cos I′ve got two shoes but they′ve been walked too far And I thing that we could float from evening to the stars
When I see you in the distance with your friends I look around and then I look down at my threads It′s inappropriate that I should present like a Retired Matador with unpaid rent
So many nights I′m still thinking about you And so many nights you step in and I walk through So he doesn′t care except he still combs his hair So what am I supposed to do?
I bought a suit and I bought a top hat And I put a red stripe down the side of my slacks Went to the barber got my hair cut high And I bought a ticket for the opera tonight
But when I see you your bodice and your pride It′s nice to greet you with an interrupted stride, besides you say ′Good Evening′ you don′t say ′Goodnight′ And I can′t deny that
So many nights I′m still thinking about you And so many nights until I change my suit And when I′m bare don′t need to comb my hair Cause I found what to do
Put your waistcoat on, Put your waistcoat on
So many nights I′m still thinking about you And so many nights you step in and I walk through So he doesn′t care except he still combs his hair So what am I supposed to do?
So many nights I′m still thinking about you And so many nights until I change my suit And when I′m bare don′t need to comb my hair Cause I found what to do
Put your waistcoat on, Put your waistcoat on Put your waistcoat on, Put your waistcoat on
If frisy hair was a metaphor for festival time then this woman is a goddess of that festival shrine, met her - at a jam in that garden of sorts I must confess god bless some impure thoughts “show us the money” was the call of the night but no money could have bought even a piece of her pride, there might have been a sea of people I don’t know, because all I could see was how this woman she glowed so
-Aeh it’s a pleasure to meet you ya look like one incredible creature wanna treat you fine lets dance and grind get so funk-inflicted it’s a crime you’re divine you’re sublime and well you blow my mind
She caterpillar so good that all the greeks go “killa” break and enter take ya like a glass of milk then “spill ya” saw her coming what a scene what I mean is she got that sex coffee beam but she tastes like vanilla well alright she ignite when we hit the floor like the vroom on a V8 super commodore now if it makes a good story well it’s just worthwhile with her’s like dealing stories in that sprinkla style and so
-Aeh it’s a pleasure to meet you ya look like one incredible creature wanna treat you fine lets dance and grind get so funk-inflicted it’s a crime you’re divine you’re sublime and well you blow my mind
