Leaving it behind Cross the cattle grid And head out of town Climb Undoolya hill It's getting dark out east There's no one around You feel that cool evening chill Settling on you Chorus When you slip into the heart of it all You never know just what you’ll find When you slip into the heart of it all It never enters your mind Every time you see that old river flow You feel it under your skin Digging in like roots of old desert oak You feel your head start to spin As it’s dragging you in Chorus When you slip into the heart of it all You never know just what you’ll find When you slip into the heart of it all There’s no leaving it behind Bridge Count a hundred falling stars Shoot out the lights of the town This is part of who you are You need it, you need it now You need it, you need it now When you slip into the heart of it all You never know just what you’ll find Let it slip into the heart of it all You need it, you need it now You need it, you need it now

MAN ALIVE I could use a hit of sunshine For an afternoon I am sick of waiting in this room That guy in the mirror Has got one eye on the walls Wondering which will be The first to fall But days turn into nights Turn into weeks Drag like concrete shoes Upon my feet, I know but I’m not gonna wait forever But I’ll stick around Til I’m sick of waiting for the sound Of footsteps on the front porch baby When you come on by Bobbing like a bottle on the tide Bup ba da da etc You don’t need an invitation Let yourself inside Maybe you will find A man alive SOLO Days turn into nights Turn into weeks Drag like concrete shoes Upon my feet, I know but I’m not gonna wait forever But I’ll stick around Til I’m sick of waiting for the sound Of footsteps on the front porch baby When you come on by Bobbing like a bottle on the tide I’m not gonna wait forever Won’t you come on by? Maybe you will find A man alive Bup ba da da etc

He said to me do you like your records for free? I said I do, but no way, I am happy to pay. He said he’s closing down the record store by the end of the day And by tomorrow it’ll be another trendy café. I took a walk and everything was out of its place Like a man who’s lost his eyes right there on his face. And the real estate man he said to me – They tear it down and replace it with hot property! Do you like, do you like, your records for free? Do you like, do you like, your hot property? Do you like, do you like, your trendy café? Well if you do – welcome to the modern way. And pretty soon in the ‘burbs it went that way. It was the money and Audi’s and the café lattes. They came in wearing suits of mediocrity. They built their clubs, spandex cults, right by the sea. I can’t move, I can’t breathe - they’re everywhere! Drinking coffee, spending money - all I do is stare. And Charlton Heston was right, when he yelled and screamed: You blew it up! Damn dirty ape, you gone and smashed my dream! Do you like, do you like, your records for free? Do you like, do you like, your hot property? Do you like, do you like, your trendy café? Well if you do – welcome to the modern way. Do you like, do you like… Do you like, do you like… Do you like, do you like… Do you like, do you like… Do you like, do you like…Your records for free! Do you like, do you like…Ska ska ska ska! Do you like, do you like…Hep Hep Hep Hep Do you like, do you like…

If you’re feeling lonely and blue Don’t worry baby ‘cause I’m here for you. I’ll make you happy, you’ll make me shy-high! I’ll take you dancing on a Saturday night. We’ll do some shaking then we’ll turn out the light. No longer lonely! And I know why-high! Well your friends say your daddy is so angry that he’ll murder me. Now he’s gone and locked you in your room, but he don’t know our secret – Well, I’ve got my own key! If you’re feeling lonely and blue Come take a ride and you can play my kazoo! No longer lonely and I know why-high! C’mon boys! Well your friends say your daddy is so angry that he’ll murder me.

Yes and I know why-high! Well and I know why-high! C’mon…

Verse 1 Not what you say or what you promise me. Not all the fame or public scrutiny. I can't see that far ahead. I like to concentrate on now and you. Because your head is on my pillow, and there's sleep in your eyes, and your nose is touching mine. Chorus That's what. That's what. That's what turns me on. That's what. That's what. That's what turns me on. That's what. That's what. That's what turns me on. That's what. That's what turns me on. Verse 2 I know you try, to give me what I need. It's not your fault, that I'm so hard to please. I'm so tired these days, I nearly fall asleep, and that's not fair on you it's true. Because I'm dancing every night, and I'm working all day, and I'm sleeping curled up with you. Chorus That's what. That's what. That's what turns me on. That's what. That's what. That's what turns me on. That's what. That's what. That's what turns me on. That's what. That's what turns me on.....

Verse Can’t sleep anymore, it’s all about my dreams. You invade them like the morning sun, but you take the wait from me. So I listen to all your harmonies and their beauty must be told. Rules were meant to be broken… So deal the devil, a soul. Chorus Man, I think I’ve never been so lost, ‘Cause I love everything we do But it don’t make no sense, There’s no future in the truth. When I need you the most you’re gone (And )when I see you, it’s been too long Everything I am’s untrue There’s no getting over you. Verse It’s a dangerous game, as we swim into deeper oceans. You dare me and I dare you. You swim in, and I too you. We’re almost touching now. You take me places I’ve never been You show me things I’ve never seen, I’m drowning down. Chorus Man, I think I’ve never been so lost, ‘Cause I love everything we do But it don’t make no sense, There’s no future in the truth. When I need you the most you’re gone (And )when I see you, it’s been too long Everything I am’s untrue There’s no getting over you. Bridge And when you’re gone – who will I see? And when you’re gone – who will I be? And when you’re gone – who will set me free? Baby don’t leave me this way, hey… Chorus Man, I think I’ve never been so lost, ‘Cause I love everything we do But it don’t make no sense, There’s no future in the truth. When I need you the most you’re gone (And )when I see you, it’s been too long Everything I am’s untrue There’s no getting over you. John Lennon and Paul McCartney too, wrote clichéd love songs like love me do! It’s the stage I’m in it’s true, and it’s all because of you. So say goodbye and let me go. No more Seven Days and songs that remind me you glow, But I want more, oh oh oh oh oh…

Verse 1 I'm gonna set back all the emptiness, inside my heart. I'm gonna stow away those hardened feelings, that tear me apart. I'm gonna lay aside those heavy things that, weigh me down. 'Cause I'm saving all my happiness, for when you're around. Verse 2 Now it's funny how I wake up each day, next to you, And I don't realise how lucky I am, or what to do, When you throw your arms around my neck and, kiss me goodbye, I guess I've got a lot to learn about, sharing a life. Sometimes I wonder, why I love you, And all the crazy things, that you do Sometimes we argue. Sometimes we fight, But then we make sweet love and everything is alright. Verse 3 I'm gonna set back all the emptiness, inside my heart. I'm gonna stow away those hardened feelings, that tear me apart. I'm gonna lay down all those heavy things that's, what I'll do. 'Cause I'm saving all my happiness, for when I'm with you. Yes I'm saving all my happiness, for when I'm with you

Long line Started out by trailing crumbs A simple rule of thumb Somehow we got Lost in the night Then tying ribbons round the leaves A pathway through the trees But you’re gone a while They get hidden from sight Til the end From the start Where you go There you are It’s a long line But it’s bound to bring you home Time Slipping through your hands In interwoven strands Loose ends trail but The knots hold on tight Til the end From the start Where you go There you are It’s a long line But it’s bound to bring you home Out with the old And in with the new Over and over In a moment that you’re always passing through From the start Where you go There you are It’s a long line But it’s bound to bring you home Til the end From the start Where you go There you are It’s a long line But it’s bound to bring you It’s a long line But it’s bound to bring you It’s a long line But it’s bound to bring you Home…..

The Shakedown I, I was only ever one step gone cause the ties, that bind you, well they do drag on Pity the man saw the whole thing coming Pity the man pulled the curtains down Pity the man heard the old bones rattle back round Time, it will only heal flesh and blood But when you’re lying, at the bottom of the hole you’ve dug All of the doors that you shut spring open All of the sorrows you thought you’d drowned Dig at your soul as the old bones rattle back round They come in through that old window Creepin’ as the cold wind blows They shake as the lights sink low They shake you through it all They shake you through it all I’ll wait til the earth stops turning I’ll wait til the house falls down I’ll wait til the vultures circle Find these old bones Pick them clean, well… I’ve been biding all my time Thinking that I’d left behind Something that I’m yet to find And I’ve been through it all Like they came through that old window Creepin’ as the cold wind blows They shake as the lights sink low Ah they shake you down To these bones These bones These bones…

Verse 1 Bless the sea and all its waters. Open up its oyster daughters. Dig the knife in, crack one open. Taste the flesh, it takes moments. Chorus 1 Why can't they be like girls who wear red rouge upon their cheeks(rouge upon their cheeks). Curse the way I always feel. My feet are cut my hands they bleed. Verse 2 Bless the land and all that sunshine. Watch the grapes turn to red wine. Hold each glass up to the light. A thousand stares; never, never. Chorus 2 Why can't they be like water clear and pure each glass the same. (each glass the same). Curse the way I always feel. My lips are parched my will is week. Bridge I'm like that. I'm like that. Forgive me. I'm like that. I'm like that. Release me. Verse 3 Bless the soil and all that it holds. Just start digging see what unfolds. Every stone that I uncover, Feels different to all the others. Chorus 3 Why can't they be like girls.......Wo oh oh ohhh. Curse the way I always feel when faced with such variety. (such variety). That's......my fidelity.
