B i o g r a p h y
(by Official Press)
Sarah
Blasko first began singing in the pews of a church, flanked on one side by her
tone-deaf mother, and on the other by an eighty-year-old soprano unafraid to
flaunt her vocal chops. Perhaps it was amongst these congregations that the
influence of music seeped into her subconscious. For Sarah Blasko was conceived
the youngest missionary in the French-speaking paradise of Reunion Island,
before her parents returned home to Sydney. Blasko developed a musical interest
without really thinking about it too much. Like many children growing up in the
1980's, she would spend hours in front of the television watching the music
videos of artists like Prince, David Bowie & Eurythmics. Her mum's Olivia
Newtown-John cassette was also a prized a possession, a taste reflected now only
in her choice of karaoke numbers. In contrast, her father - an English/History
Master - introduced her to the likes of Rachmaninov, Schubert, Bach and some of
the less acclaimed works of Paul McCartney. In her High School years, Blasko hid
a love for music as one who leads a double life, carrying with her the
impression that to make music one had to know a set of rules no more alluring
than those that govern geometry. Later in her teens, she started a band with her
sister, and, as other girls were sneaking out at night to indulge in the sins of
drinking and the company of boys, they began sneaking out to revel in the
devilish sounds of live jazz and blues. One sacrilegious intervention, perhaps,
in the eyes of her former fellow parishioners, and Sarah's songbook no longer
bore just hymns. In the years that followed, Sarah and her young band found
their musical feet by writing, recording and playing live. When the members went
their separate ways, Blasko decided to continue as a solo artist and,
eventually, set to work on her first EP, "Prelusive" - a six-track treasure of
beats, guitars and vocals all homespun on a yarn that overlooked a suburban
primary school. It was enough to get her signed to fresh-faced record label Dew
Process, who envisaged big things for Sarah, the first step of which would be
her debut album. But Sarah was miles ahead. She'd already left behind the quaint
charm of the bedside sampler and was busy working on a whole new sound. Her next
set of home recordings would form the basis of her debut album, "The Overture &
the Underscore", but she would venture far from home to fully realise them.
Arriving in Los Angeles with her arms full, having spent the previous six months
writing and recording at home, Sarah brought with her a strong sense of purpose
and a barrage of demo material. From four-track tapes of endless tipsy acoustic
sessions to painstakingly elaborate arrangements for mammoth synthesised
orchestras. There, she found an ally in Wally Gagel whose work with The Eels &
The Folk Implosion had already shown a flair for melding the organic with the
electronic. She also avoided the input of too many outsiders, with her and
collaborator Robert F Cranny arranging and playing almost all of the instruments
on the album, and drumming superhero Joey Waronker playing all the drums and
percussion. On what is very much an arrangement-centred record, Sarah's voice is
artfully paired with lush, atmospheric orchestrations and a palette of sounds
ranging from organic to electronic; from classic and familiar to unique and
purpose-designed. From the paired down suspense of its opening track to the
sweeping layers of its dramatic closer, the album is a thoughtful and deliberate
set of songs that form a genuinely cohesive body of work. With minimal
commercial radio play, Blasko's debut album built for her an attentive audience
as much through her striking video clips and dynamic festival performances as
from simple word of mouth. On the touring front, Sarah travelled her acclaimed
live show across the length and breadth of her homeland. In two comprehensive
national tours, Blasko and her five-piece band took her music from candlelit
mountain guesthouses to overflowing festival bigtops. Through a commitment to
perform live the world over – often with a five-piece band, other times in a
deconstructed duo mode – and the disarming power of the international music
grapevine, Blasko also found she had fans in far away places even before the
international release of "The Overture & the Underscore" in mid-2005. Securing
releases in Canada, the US, the UK and Europe, Blasko toured internationally the
likes of British tunesmith Tom McRae, roots enigma Ray Lamontagne and neo-folk
ingénue Martha Wainwright, before returning home to begin work on her second
album.
Recording in April 2006, Sarah set to task bringing to life a brand new set of
songs she only began working on at the beginning of the year. In a strange twist
of fate, Blasko headed straight from her performance of the Crowded House
flagship number, "Don't Dream It's Over", at the Commonwealth Games closing
ceremony, to Neil Finn's own Roundhead Studios, in Auckland, New Zealand.
Working again with loyal accomplice, Robert F Cranny, the pair brought in the
talent and experience of Jim Moginie to assist with the production of the
recordings. Blasko first encountered Moginie personally when collaborating with
him on her version of "Flame Trees", although he is better known to many as a
songwriter & multi-instrumentalist with legendary Australian band, Midnight Oil.
Complementing the freshness of these new compositions, Sarah took a four-piece
band into the studio - a converted former ballroom - where the twelve new tracks
were recorded live in the spacious and ornate surrounds by engineer Paul
McKercher. Finally, the project was mixed by Victor Van Vugt, an ex-pat
Melbournian who has a long association with icons of the Australian music world,
Nick Cave and Dave Graney. Thematically, the album is an exploration of
fatalism. Using the unpredictable ebbs and flows of the sea as her metaphor,
Blasko looks at fate with a learned reverence, but with the maturity to set sail
in spite of uncertainty, and the courage to use her own former shipwrecks as
seamarks. Sarah Blasko spent her youth in the suburbs of Sydney, in a family
whose journeys of faith steered her through numerous religious denominations.
Through the church, school and her Father's oddball record collection, she was
introduced to music quite accidentally, and has no formal training to speak of.
Having ventured out into the bright lights of Hollywood to record her last
album, Sarah has spent two years touring the world only to find that Australia
has a musical heritage as rich as anywhere else in the world.
The result is her second album, "What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have".
Recorded swiftly, the album displays a more succinct, a more lucid and a more
forthright Sarah Blasko. Her lyrics shoot straight and the instrumentation is
clear and purposeful in its application. Despite Blasko's grace in the face of
her humble achievements thus far, her confidence must have grown a little. She
has tiptoed amongst the shadows of people like Jim Moginie, Neil Finn, Paul
McKercher & Victor Van Vugt – people whose contribution to music stretches back
into her suburban youth. Yet Sarah has emerged into the sunlight on the other
side unflinchingly still herself. |
The overture
and the underscore
All coming
back
Hopeful tonight you've found a disguise
You and I never lasted a goodbye
Light seems to fade, clings to mistakes
We remark on the way that things have changed
It's all coming back to me
All clothed in black
Images of you and me
Light up the skies, argue the night
To reveal one thing I did was right
Patterns are laid, fortunes are made
We remark on the way that things remain
It's all coming back to me
All clothed in black
Images of you and me
You're loosing sleep tonight
How could you want this so badly
What once was clothed in white
Bears the bruise of a burden
Beautiful
secrets
Beautiful secrets you guard them in your secret garden
You water and nurture them until they're bigger than life itself
But you can't always know what they will uncover on the news
And you can't be too sure that your secret life won't show through
Beautiful speeches the lines that are preached here are only half-truth
Delicious like murder, one step and you're further than you could admit
But you can't always know what they will uncover on the news
And you can't be too sure that your secret life won't show through
Always
worth it
Half forgotten things
In the depths of time they lie
With significance
Waiting for the simplest sign of life
See the evidence
That expense is part of life in time
Always worth it if only to realise
Not always perfect but somehow deserving of time
Disconnected things
You exist within a kind of truth
And the consequence
Is a consummated trial of fire
Always worth it if only to realise
Not always perfect but somehow deserving of time
You've no way out
No path in
Set on paper
Half in stone
You're on your own
Always worth it if only to realise
Not always perfect but somehow deserving of time
At your
best
It's you against the world, I don't think so
They wouldn't stand a chance now girl
And even when your back's on the ropes
I can tell, you'll get them by the final bell
If only you were at your best
Instead of fighting yourself as well
If only you were at your best
Instead of fighting yourself
You're high above the world, I don't think so
If you're hanging around me girl
And even when you try to call
I know you stall; you climb another storey tall
If only you were at your best
Instead of fighting yourself as well
If only you were at your best
Instead of fighting yourself
Don't let your mind change you this time
Don't let the tide turn you tonight
If only you were at your best
Instead of fighting yourself as well
If only you were at your best
Instead of fighting yourself
Don't
u eva
You've got a way with words
You've got a way that makes me feel so complicated
Your message meets the floor
The horizon meets your horse and you're deliberating
I'm only clearing my throat
Don't you ever wish for
Just one thing that you might never see
Don't you ever wish for
Just one thing that you might never know
You might never know
You've got a way with words
You've got a way that makes me feel so complicated
A wall keeps you from me
You'd raze the doors down
Just so you could find the key
The wolves are waiting
Don't you ever wish for
Just one thing that you might never see
Don't you ever wish for
Just one thing that you might never know
You might never know
I'm underground as the world's just spinning around
And you hunt them down try to pin them to the ground
There'll be no sound as the words just tumble out
And you won't be found by the time you've hit the ground
You've got a way with words
You've got a way with words
You've got a way with words...
Don't you ever wish for
Just one thing that you might never see
Don't you ever wish for
Just one thing that you might never know
You might never know...
Counting
sheep
If it's all the same to you, I've decided that I'm lacking proof
A basic thread of unbelief could unravel your attempt at truth
You could blame it on her, you could pin it on him - that'd be a lie
'Cause there's no subtle dispute or selfless pursuit
Those thing are marked by what they hide
No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep
Blame your chequered past for your lack of sleep
But make sure you count your blessings while
You're counting, while you're counting sheep.
If nothing more remains for you, it's decided that you leave confused
A simple case of hit or miss, you're offered something more than you can give
Oh you could blame it on her, you could pin it on him - but you don't want a
fight
'Cause there's no subtle dispute or selfless pursuit
Those things are marked by what they hide
No surprise that you've found yourself in too deep
Blame your chequered past for your lack of sleep
But make sure you count your blessings while
You're counting, while you're counting sheep.
Asleep in your uncertain future no one else
Can tell you what you came here for or read your thoughts
If confidence is open-ended there's no guarantee you'll be protected now; when
There's no safety house you can't just stay and rest here in my regard for you
It's no surprise that you've found yourself in too deep
Blame your chequered past for your lack of sleep
But make sure you count your blessings while
You're counting, while you're counting sheep.
Perfect
now
Everything is perfect now
I don't want to make a movement
I'm too scared to breathe
I might do something wrong
As you're sleeping silently
Perfect beauty laid before me
I feel every second is a lifetime long
It's a place I've been before
A place some say I should go more
But every journey just leads me too far away
When I just wanted to stay
I just wanted to stay
So that's why I won't wake you where you lie
If I could now I'd freeze time
I can't find forever in your eyes
I should leave you while they're dry
Living underneath this guilt
I can't leave a house that I've built
Though I feel it sinking further every time
And the weight of my mistakes
Means that everything I touch breaks
I don't want to see you as the next in line
So that's why I won't wake you where you lie
If I could now I'd freeze time
I can't find forever in your eyes
I should leave you while they're dry
Sweet
november
I thought about it tonight, I'm lucky to be alive
I never thought these city lights would ever shine so bright
Floating on the surface, threatened to be dragged down
I thought I was lost forever, it turns out I'm alright
Sweetest november, winter wasn't here forever
Time to rest your weary head in the sun
The sweetest november, the world's renewed its colour
Only just in time to welcome the summer
I thought about you tonight, I'm glad that you're alive
And even in these uncertain times, you'll make it through the night
You were floating on the surface, threatened to be dragged down
I thought you were gone forever, it turns out you've been found
Sweetest november, winter wasn't here forever
Time to rest your weary head in the sun
The sweetest november, the world's renewed its colour
Only just in time to welcome the summer
Captured in this light beauty will survive
And purified by fire you've made it to the sea
Sweetest november, winter wasn't here forever
Time to rest your weary head in the sun
The sweetest november, the world's renewed its splendour
Only just in time to welcome the summer
Sweetest november, sweetest november
Cinders
Slow falling whispers on pricked up ears
Slow burning cinders, three long years between
When we lit them in so much haste
High hazard seasons, houses laid to waste
Did you forget it all
Do you listen when I call
These fire trails lead north
And slowly back in time
Slowly back in time
Slowly back in time
Time has it's reasons for letting go
Comes as it pleases. This new growth beneath
Where the branches are cracked and bowed
Cover the feelings these old scars still show
Did you forget it all
Do you listen when I call
These fire trails lead north
And slowly back in time
Slowly back in time
If only I could have escaped
Without turning back to take
Things that I could have replaced
You just can't return to these days
Did you forget it all
Do you listen when I call
These fire trails lead north
And slowly back in time
Slowly back in time
Slowly back in time
True
intentions
Between love we make
Divide, navigate
Confusion translates
What you can't explain
Though lines are not the face
Are your eyes not ashamed
Of past now to drink
If tired and wandering
In circles that spin
Down spiralled towards sin
It's all very clear
This time I will travel all alone
Don't let me in I'll shut you out
Take control of the wheel and now
It'll lead me on to a sense of my true intentions
My true intentions
No time to forsake
To turn and run away
‘Cause these answers you bring
Are symptoms of things
You try to forget
But your mind is betrayed
Don't let me in I'll shut you out
Take control of the wheel and now
It'll lead me on to a sense of my true intentions
My true intentions
Have a listen
Do you hear them
Have a listen, have a listen, to my, oh to my
True intentions, oh to my true intentions
Remorse
There is a wailing girl at your feet
Tears overflowing burnt like the rest
Don't waste your time, she's a weapon tonight
With no direction, bound to start a fight
Her love is only wasted on remorse
True or two-timing faker
Her only choice
There's a relation, but they are not the same
She is fire, him embers, one cannot put the other out
New worn or discarded, are we all not the same
Funny how it happened, now there's no where to put the blame
Their love is only wasted on remorse
True or two-timing fakers
Their only choice
Their love is only wasted on remorse
True for two diamond fakers
There's only choice
Speeches to learn
Secrets to burn
Fate is a debt
Silence is overspent
Their love is only wasted on remorse
True for two diamond fakers
There's only choice
Their love is only wasted on remorse
True for two diamond fakers
There's only choice
Long time
You like an army
Occupy my mind
The quietness of time
And I wish I could ignore you
And the impression that you made in my life
‘Cause it's been a long time
A long time coming around
And whether its the right time
Or the wrong time, the time is now
But you say it's important
Oh to focus on yourself
And no one else
But if this makes me happy
Oh I ask you then do I have a choice
‘Cause it's been a long time
A long time coming around
And whether it's the right time
Or the wrong time, the time is now
And you say who's gonna bring me water now, you say who
And you say who's gonna bring me water now
Oh you will work it out, somehow
‘Cause it's been a long time
A long time coming around
And whether its the right time
Or the wrong time, the time is now
‘Cause maybe the right time
Has just come around
What the sea
wants, the sea will have
For you
I've learnt a lot about you
In turn much about me too
I travelled across the sea
I wept for you
Emotions run deep
Between us friend
The time will come
For us again
We're tired, we're tired now
This ship almost ran a ground
We'll lie and rest now
I'll dream of you
Emotions run deep
Between good friends
But I do believe
In us again
I've heard, I've heard it said
That love, real love has no end
A cup overflowing now
I will believe, I must believe
The
garden's end
Oh I can hear you breathing
You're picking up my scent
You're trying to hunt me down
In the hope that I'll give in
But I know these tracks
Better than I know you ever could
You're breathing down my neck
But it will only make me win
Nobody wanted this
Not after all these years
Still the darkness draws us deeper
In just like a trap
But now I've got you here
I'll never lead you back
For the garden's end
Is where wilderness begins
You dug a hole for me
That I'll bury you in
And if you raise the dead now
I might lead you back
And if you cut your hair
I might leave a map
Nobody wanted this
Not after all these years
Nobody noticed you
But now they're on to you
You say you'll have the last laugh
But the winters coming
And the snow will cover tracks
And I'll be watching
Because I'm hunting you
And nobody's buying it
Not after all these years
But somebody's noticed you
And now I'm on to you
[explain]
Oh. There's a funny light, in the stars tonight
You and I were right
All the factories, all the memories have changed
Will you work it out
Will you see that I'm going no where else
I don't know where you think you'll start again
But I, I know in all we've said, I finally
Know how it began
It's nothing I can even explain
Do we begin tonight
Is it a righteous fight
The sentiments not right
Will you work it out
Will you sell it all
To find me
All the weapons are finally coming out
Now you see that I only wanted to have it out with you
Remember our love
Warm in the coldest light you see
You see what you want
And you break it off
Find it somewhere else
You say that our love
Can't be a pattern in your palm
You say that our love
You say that our love
Is only mapped
Oh look above you now
There's a heavy cloud, hanging over us
All the factories, all infirmaries, are closed
Do you wake at night
Wishing you'd relied on someone else
I don't know what you think you'll find again
Well i, I know in all we've said
I've finally found where I'll begin
It's something I can't even explain
The
albatross
Fear lies beside me
A vessel, an army
That threatens the night
The wind is whispering
Howling and hissing
“be unafraid”
Tragic this moment of kindness
Touches my eyes in their blindness
Come lie beside me
Say I won't be lonely
As we kiss goodnight
For two ships are sailing
The wind is wailing
“An ocean awaits”
Captured this moment inspires us
To unlock the latches that bind us
And we will leave behind these fallen tears
For two will sail tonight
And here in this humble ship
I will make my home
Planet new
year
Do you want another try
Rewrite some lines
Do you want to spend some time
If your hands are open like mine
Underneath a setting sun
Your hands are open like a child's like mine
Feeling like the first to have wasted all gods time
Waking with the birds, they're falling from the sky
Do you think that I'd forget about you and I
Well I know that I was shy
But the time has hardly been unkind
Underneath this gentle light
And by the time that midnight strikes this time
Feeling like the first to have wasted all gods time
Waking with the birds, they're falling from the sky
So under-rehearsed, we never even tried
It's a delightful curse to have wasted so much time
Amazing
things
Fallen like a soldier, tragically you are at war
You think you're not caught within a fragment of yourself
Do you think you're something you are not
You look like a lover
You feel like a nervous wreck
It cuts in the night
It hurts like an oversight
You long to feel the most amazing things
But you've come undone ‘cause you have held it in
Your eyes have seen the most amazing things
Falling like a rock into an ocean
There is something you forgot
Only you decided that you had to go and fight until you lost
You look like a fighter
You couldn't recognise yourself
Now you're cursing the night
You're watching the seconds die
You long to feel the most amazing things
But you've come undone ‘cause you have held it in
And your eyes have seen the most amazing things
And this love you fear is such a precious thing
Always on
this line
As the day turns to night
Under these suburban skies
Think of all willing lies, of cutting ties
The emptiness
At first light, first sight
The world seems like a miracle
But try to hold it in your hands
And watch it get away
Oh the ugliness of fate
When you're always on this line
When you're always on this line
You could've crossed a million times
But you're always on this line
Oh, put your hands up
Claim your crime
'Cause you never had the time
You still get to work just fine
When you're always on this line
But it's alright, it's okay
When there's excuses in your way
You can try, just make it up
Settle down but don't look up
At first bite, first lie
The world seems like it serves you well
But try to catch it in your hands
Treating it like a slave of the emptiness you crave
When you're always on this line
When you're always on this line
You could've crossed a million times
But you're always on this line
Oh, put your hands up
Claim your crime
'Cause you never had the time
You still get to work just fine
When you're always on this line
Oh, it might be unkind of me to make you feel bad
It might be a shame of me to treat you like that
When there's everything you've worked for in your life
On this line
When you're always on this line
When you're always on this line
You could've crossed a million times
But you're always on this line
Oh, put your hands up
Claim your crime
'Cause you never had the time
You still get to work just fine
When you're always on this line
The woman
by the well
Lately I find that you know me
Better than I know myself
Like a woman who's lost herself
By the water's edge
Her reflection was taken by the tide
I just want you around
I want you around
Seconds and hours pass slowly
I move them all by myself
I can feel that I'm aging
My hair is turning black
There's a rhythm behind it
That you can't know
Still, I want you around
'Cause I'm more lost than found
Shine a light on my misery
Wake the child from her sleep
Wipe the eyes of the dewy morning
The waters so deep
Hammer
There's a hole in the roof
And the dust that's pouring through
Means you want to build the world again from scratch
'Cause nothing moved means nothing found
But there's a sadness in the sound
As the walls crack and the scenes change so fast
If you had a hammer you would knock the whole thing down
But tell me how you'll build again
With what is left of all you've spent
Beware the time in your life
When you feel you have to be right
And you know your words no longer mean enough
There's not a whisper to be found
As you're marching to sound
Of the wheels turn, and the walls tumble down
If you had a hammer you would knock the whole thing down
But tell me, will you build again
When all is lost, and all is spent
Knock things down to start again
So you tear it up to find escape
You'd do anything just to bring this down
Call it a sinking ship
You set the sun
You want a way out
You're begging for it
There's no chance of your escape
You'd buy your way out
Sell everything
But there's nothing left of all we've built
If you had a hammer you would knock the whole thing down,
But tell me, how you'll build when all is lost and all is spent
Oh, if you had a dollar you would hide yourself away
But in your silence find some sense that there is no one else to blame
I found you out
You set the sun
Fall in fire
I found you out
You set the sun
There's no way out
I found you out
And inside the sun
I found you out
Queen of
apology
Truth, truth everywhere
But not a drop to drink
You can think what you like
But it's not like what you think
Talk, talk everywhere
Banished you can tell
A thousand ears to turn away
Not one mouth to stay closed
Bride for the king of blame
I'm queen of apology
You see we take all care
But no responsibility
Return this where you found it
Eyes, eyes everywhere
And two more that now hold
The pallor of your face
When all your palest lies are told
Hands, hands tethered fast
To bonds you'd wish they'd hold
To forgive completely only serves to let them go
Bride for the king of blame
I'm queen of apology
You see we take all care
But no responsibility
Return this where you found it
A bed we built
Milk crates and guilt
Well I will lay you down
On sheets of blame
I'll lay you down with me again
Truth, truth
Hand it down
And we'll swallow it whole
To avoid the taste
But what's inside
We'll never know
Bride for the king of blame
I'm queen of apology
You see we take all care
But no responsibility
Return me where you found me.
Showstopper
Find me, oh find me
When this birthright was blackened
When lightning struck
And the storm clouds came over
The cracks were appearing
Before things turned
In a moment, I'd forgotten
I feel the trial, it's mine
I burn in this ire
All this pride, bid goodbye
Only matchwood
Still so unsure why this path was chosen
It's harder and further
Than first calculations
When you know it's not over yet
I feel the trial, it's mine
I burn in this ire
All this pride, bid goodbye
Only matchwood
Oh, it's a trial and a fight
Hear me cry: "it's yours and it's mine!"
"oh this fight!"
"it's yours,"
"it's mine"
"yours and mine, yours and mine!"
Find me
Oh find this birthright
It's cursed
Oh the lightning struck
And the storm hit its target
I could
never belong to you
Love is something of an art
When we are led by such divided hearts
Painted black, their centre red
Beating now
They're loaded with regret
Full of memories that you can't neglect
Of all the things that you've yet to prove
Oh the times I've thought this whole thing through
Lived whole lifetimes in disguise from you
How can I hold to a pale idea
When you've given everything you can
And by everything you feel, you stand
But I could never belong to you
For all the troubles of an onward path
The confusion lacks a tragic punch
When we take the desired turns
All we have is all we can find
No-one else can make this mine
I could never belong to you
Pictures in the family ark
Faces faded, stories gone
One sure light from eras dark
Two by two they all marched on
But I could never belong to you
As Day Follows
Night
Down on love
Lately you've been down on luck
Crying out for the man above
I believe in miracles
But a miracle you can't control
You've got to find the strength inside
To lead you out of here
One step guides another
'Till the way becomes clear
Lately you've been down on love
You believe that it's a poison cup
Lover takes a leap of faith
And faith will guide you all your days
And all your life you've waited
For someone to understand
To wake you up and speak your name
And take you by the hand
How'd you lose your faith in love
What brought you to your knees tonight
I believe in answered prayers
But the answers are found everywhere
So open up your windows
And unlock the doors
You hear them whispered in the night
Down cold and lonely halls
All I want
I don't want another lover
So don't keep holding out your hands
There's no room beside me
I'm not looking for romance
Say I'll be here, I'll be here
But there's no way you'd understand
All I want
All I want
All I want
When I don't even know myself
I don't want another partner
So don't try and break the spell
I can't even understand me
So don't think that you can help
When I say things and see things
That's no way on earth to tell
What I want
What I want
What I want
'Cause I don't even know myself
No one wants to be lonely
But what am I to do
I'm just trying to be honest
I don't want to hurt you too
When I'll be there, I'll be there
I know I sound confused
But all I want
All I want
All I want
All I want
All I want
See all I want
All I want
Is to one day come to know myself
*** Thanx a lot to Naylor
for this one ***
Bird on a
wire
Hurt like a bird on a wire
You got cursed
You got burned something that
No one deserves
It's broken your wings
You forgot how to sing
All the trouble it bring
Trouble that it brings
For the first time in your life you're coming home
You can feel the strength returning to you're bones
Caught in a trap of desire
You got lost
You got shot with a bow and arrow
To the heart
You're flashing you life
Like a battered wife
Got some wood and a knife
Wood and a knife
For the first time in your life you made a home
You work your fingers right down to the bone
Hold on my
heart
All of these nights are long
Hand on my heart you're strong
Got a feeling that you'll survive
These lost and these lonesome times
You can't please somebody
Can't please somebody else
Until you learn to look after yourself
You can't be somebody
Can't be somebody else
You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
Hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Find your stronger parts
Hold on my heart
Thinking of him each day
When he is miles away
You know it wont serve you well
It's better for time to tell
You can't please somebody
Can't please somebody else
Until you learn to look after yourself
You can't be somebody
Can't be somebody else
You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
Hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Find your stronger parts
Hold on my heart
Though your growing up was hard
Now you're not so easily crushed
Still innocent and strange
All your strength still remains
You can't please somebody
Can't please somebody else
Until you learn to look after yourself
You can't be somebody
Can't be somebody else
You've learned your lesson, put in on the shelf
And hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Find your stronger parts
Hold on my heart
Hold on my heart
Be the light in the dark
Set yourself apart
And hold on my...
Hold on my heart
We won't
run
Pages turning
Lights are burning
See what you could not see
It's plain as the day
The night makes you pay
For what was hidden underneath
Longing to leave
But begging to feel that
Something will make you stay
Gotta believe that this all leads
Somewhere we've never been
We won't run
We can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
In denies
I always thought you knew yourself
Better than anyone
The season was lost
And you started listening
To everyone else
But cast in as devil
I've got the metal
The means to make things right
Tired of the guilt
Tired of being sorry
Well haven't we suffered enough
We won't run
We can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
We won't run
We can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
But oh that our eyes will be open
Oh that our eyes will be open
Oh that our eyes will be open
Oh that our eyes will be open
We won't run
We can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
We won't fear
We can fight
All that we can bring to light
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
'Cause we won't run
We can fight
All that keeps us up at night
There is far to go now
Let's not waste a minute more
Of our lives
Our lives
Our lives
Of our lives
Our lives
Our lives
Is my baby
yours
Search through the days
And live through the nights
I wonder what I've done wrong
To end up this way
I've tried so hard
It's never enough
You cant make somebody love you
While they're still missing someone
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
It's there as a ghost
He keeps in his heart
A face that you can't forget
It haunts him in the dark
How cruel, how unkind
This unwakened love
When her is a love that I had
Thought to call my own
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Is my baby yours
Baby yours
But I shoulda known I shoulda known better
Fall in love you still loved another
Shoulda known I shoulda known better
Fall in love you still loved another
Shoulda known I shoulda known better
Fall in love you still loved another
Shoulda known I shoulda known better
Fall in love you still loved another
Another
Another
Sleeper
awake
Some of us
Don't know why
We were born
Into this world
Sometimes
Can't sleep at night
Worrying about the world
Fearing it as it turns
Use your hands
You know that
They
Are worthy
Use your hands
You know you love
To get
Them dirty
You've been lying on a bed
Seeing no way
Crying all the time
Nearly dead
Secrets are lies
Lying in vain
Sleeper awake
Sleeper awake
Some of us
Don't know that
We were born
And sold a lie
Sometimes
Can't speak we try
But our voice
Cannot be heard
Use your hands
Don't be afraid of
Standing up
For something
Use your hands
I know you love
To get
Them dirty
You've been lying on a bed
Seeing no way
Crying all the time
Nearly dead
Secrets are lies
You're lying in vain
Sleeper awake
Sleeper awake
You've been lying on a bed
Seeing no way
Crying all the time
Living dead
Secrets are lies
You're lying in vain
Sleeper awake
Sleeper awake
You've been lying on a bed
Seeing no way
Crying all the time
Living dead
Secrets are lies
You're lying in vain
Sleeper awake
Sleeper awake
No turning
back
I was involved
Willing or not
Born in the spark of an eye
A city on fire
Is out of control
I put it down to the match
In my hand
Or my heart
Struck out once again
Against my will
My own right mind
Knocked down in the sand
But there's no turning back
There's no turning back
Stop those tears in their tracks
'Cause there's no turning back
So come and you will
To sit on your hands
Did you only want me to laugh
To sit for a while
A talk and a drink
I followed much to well
I carried on
I broke the ice
It melted once or twice
I put my heart
Right on the line
Now it's time, my love, it's time
For there's no turning back
There's no turning back
So stop those tears in their tracks
'Cause there's no turning back
And then I'm in your arms I'll try to relax
Don't want to lie awake all night wondering where we're at
Oh this tossing and turning won't clear these blues away
When I am longing just to hear you say
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
So stop those tears in their tracks
'Cause there's no turning back
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
So put your heart in my hands
'Cause there's no turning back
Oh there's no turning back
Oh there's no turning back
I said there's no turning back
Lost and
defeated
I'm finally mad
Like a rush of blood to
My weary head
No longer sad
The emotional tide has turned
And I see red
Heard you clap your hands
Cause i'm joyfully and most bitter mad
I hope your heart is glad
Oh sweet relief that you've
Always longed
To have
Cause that's what you wanted
That's what you wanted
All along
That's what you wanted
That's what you wanted
All along
And though you wish I had
Not fallen in love with you so fast
But don't make it bad
Don't turn it into something
That I regret
Cause that's what you wanted
That's what you wanted
All along
It's just what you wanted
It's just what you wanted
All along
All along
All along
All along
All…
It's just what you needed
It's just what you needed
All along
To feel lost and defeated
Lost and defeated
It's just what you needed
It's just what you needed
To feel lost and defeated
Lost and defeated
Until you finally say goodbye
Over and
over
Keeping in time
Don't matter as much
As the feeling
So break the rules
It'll all make sense
If you mean it
Shout it out loud
Travel north
And south
Just to prove it
Speak it with your voice
You don't really
Have a choice
But to use it
Say it over and over
And over again
Say it over and over
So not to forget
'Til you understand
Words they don't
Mean much without
Some action
And they just don't
Hold up
Without compassion
Shout it out loud
Travel north
And south
Just to claim it
Say it with your voice
You don't really
Have a choice
But to use it
Say it over and over
And over again
Say it over and over
So not to forget
'Til you understand
Say it over and over
(oh keep telling me)
And over again
(tell me honestly)
Say it over and over
(oh keep telling me)
So not to forget
(tell me honestly)
Say it over and over
(oh keep telling me)
And over again
(tell me honestly)
Say it over and over
(oh keep telling me)
So not to forget
(tell me honestly) understand
It's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's alright
Baby it's alright
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's alright
Baby it's alright
I never
knew
It's not enough
It's not enough for both of us
This love I feel
Won't reach into your heart
Though it hurts inside
To find my pride so altered
I let you go to find your way alone
I never knew it would hurt like this
To let someone go against my wishes
All I can do is hope and pray
That you'll find your way
It's not enough
Its not enough for now
When I open up
It leaves me in the cold
Though it hurts inside
I'll summon all my pride
To let you go
Let you be alone
I never knew it would hurt like this
To let someone go against my wishes
All I can do is hope and pray
That you'll find your way
I never knew it would hurt like this
To let someone go against my wishes
All I can do is hope and pray
That you'll find your way
I never knew it would hurt like this
To let someone go against my wishes
All I can do is hope and pray
That you'll find your way
Night and day
Words in to space
Into unfair terrain
They are gone now exited my mouth
Words find you cold
Actions are too bold
How can we bridge this divide
We're like night and day
Like night and day
A bitter night and a broken day
You'll never change
Always the same
While I move quicker than the tides
But yours is a face
My mind won't erase
And I know I can't say goodbye
We're like night and day
Like night and day
I love the nights you seek the day
They're just nights and days
That we while away
They're just nights and days
Just nights and day
Oh how can we grow old together
Oh how can we grow old together
We're like night and day
Like night and day
We're like night and day
We we're born this way
We're like night and day
Like night and day
Such a lovely night and a beautiful day
Seeker Lover
Keeper
Bring Me Back
Sarah Blasko :
Bring me back to where I've been
If you sing that song, it'll take me there
Right back where it all began
But please do hold my trembling hands
Mother I do miss her so
Oh I wish I was a little girl
Still a spark in my father's eyes
But I feel a loss without her smile
Send me out into the world
I am going there to break a spell
Mother I do have her hands
I will use them well, I promise that
Knowing well what I do now
I will overcome what holds me down
Light All
My Lights
Sarah Blasko :
I long for a spark, for a light
A dawn for my long, sleepless nights
And you keep them high on me tonight
And we'll be a light all of our lives
Oh, won't you come
Won't you light all my lights
Oh, won't you come
Won't you fight all my fights
Fight all my fights
So long
And we'll all be so strong
We'll all be so strong
Oh, in the dark we could hide
But we're human
We're human, so we fight
And we can be higher than our hearts
And I'll be a fighter by your side
Oh, won't you come
Won't you light all my lights
Oh, won't you come
Won't you fight all my fights
Fight all my fights
So long
And we'll all be so strong
We'll all be so strong
Oh, won't you come
Won't you light all my lights
Oh, won't you come
Won't you fight all my fights
Fight all my fights
Fight all my fights
Fight all my fights
So long
And we'll all be so strong
We'll all be so strong
We'll all be so strong
We'll all be so strong
Even Though I'm
A Woman
Holly Throsby :
Oh oh I
I've got a secret
I think I'm in love with missing you
More than I'm in love with you
That's why I go away all the time
That's why I travel the world and roam free
This time you're leaving me
Oh this is how I feel
I feel like a travelling salesman
Even though I am a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I'd be lying if I did not say
I love you more when I'm missing you
It's why I am always away
Believe me it's true
Oh oh I
I've got a secret
I think I was born to be in a state of longing
Born to be wanting, wanting
I put it in a letter for you
I love the danger in distance
This time I'm leaving you
Oh this is how I feel
I feel like a travelling salesman
Even though I am a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I'd be lying if I did not say
I love you more when I'm missing you
It's why I am always away
Believe me it's true
Believe me it's true
Believe me it's true
I love the danger in distance
I'd rather be missing you
I love the danger in distance
I'd rather be missing you
I feel like a travelling salesman
Even though I am a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I'd be lying if I did not say
I love you more when I'm missing you
It's why I am always away
Believe me it's true
Believe me it's true
Believe me it's true
Believe me it's true
Believe me it's true
Bridges
Burned
Sarah Blasko :
I'm waiting for something
I don't know what it is
I'm putting my boots on
I'm getting ready
The style and the substance
Is in a photograph
I pin it to my heart as a reminder
I've done my time
Paid for my crimes
Some bridges just burn
The world still turns for us
I'm waiting for something
I don't know where it lies
The shadow behind me
Won't hold me back this time
I take a step forward
For every word was said
And hope that it leads me
To better circumstance
I've done my time
Paid for my crimes
Some bridges just burn
The world still turns
'Cause I went the long way but now
I'm coming home
I went the wrong way
But I'm coming back stronger than before
Some bridges just burn
The world still turns
On My Own
Sally Seltmann :
I should be lost without you now
But it's easy on my own
So don't be waiting at your door
For me to come around
I've seen the sights, I've heard the sounds
I knew them as a child
I'm trusting what I knew then now
I'm looking for something
That's been buried underground
For years
And it's so old
That even I don't know if I will recognise it
Anymore, on my own
I should be calling out your name
But I've been that ball and chain
I've set my sights on something new
I can see it closer now
I'm breaking up, I'm wandering far
Take me away from you
There's so much that I've got to do
I'm looking for something
That's been buried underground
For years
And it's so old
That even I don't know if I will recognise it
Anymore, on my own
On my own
I'm looking for something
That's been buried underground
For years
And it's so old
That even I don't know if I will recognise it
Anymore
I'm searching, I'm waiting, I need time to find out
On my own, on my own, on my own
Rely On Me
Sarah Blasko :
And you know
You always can rely on, 'ly on
What you know of me
You can rely on, 'ly on
When you're gone
I always leave a light on, light on
When you're gone from me
Light on, light on
You know you can rely on
You know you can rely on, 'ly
You know you can rely on me
You can rely on, 'ly, 'y
And you know
You always have been right on, right on
All you long to be is right on, right on
When you're gone
I always leave a light on, light on
When you're gone from me
Light on, light on
You know you can rely on
You know you can rely on, 'ly
You know you can rely on me
You can rely on, 'ly, 'y
To know you
You know I only want to
To know you
You know I only want to...
You know you can rely on
You know you can rely on, 'ly
You know you can rely on me
You know you can rely on
You know you can rely on, 'ly
You know you can rely on me
You can rely on, 'ly...
Theme I
Here we go
One, Two, One, Two, Three
Sarah Blasko :
We exit this world alone
As fragile as we're born
A life just like a moment in time
Too vulnerable you chose to hide
It broke your heart to lose someone
As desperate as a loaded gun
You thought that you would learn to survive
To make your way alone in this life
I just want you to know
Wherever you go
It follows like a ghost
The burden's not just your own
If you're a seeker lover keeper
I've waited for this moment to arrive
When you let go to survive
Give it up and take it on
To open up and love someone
Scratch it off reveal new skin
Casting off what you held in
Life is just a moment in time
Too short to run and hide
I just want you to know
Wherever you go
It follows like a ghost
The burden's not just your own
If you're a seeker lover keeper
Seeker lover keeper
Seeker lover keeper
Seeker lover keeper
'Cause I just want you to know
Wherever you go
It follows like a ghost
The burden's not just your own
I just want you to know
How near or far you go
You'll never be alone
Your heart it has a home
If you're a seeker, a lover and a keeper
Every Time
Sally Seltmann :
You used to live so close to me
I could die
Call me up and bring me back to life
Friends far but never gone
I forgot to say that it's been too long, oh
Late nights and too much time
On my hands I lied
Awake with your song in my head
Give up but never lose out
'Cause I've got you by my side
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
This is how it should
Be, this is how
Every time, every time
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favourite one
Yeah every time, every time
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favourite one
Eyes shut I lay down still next to the speaker
I think about the times we've been together
Friend far but never gone
I forgot to say that it's been too long
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
This is how it should
Be, this is how
Every time, every time
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favourite one
Yeah every time, every time
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favourite one
The one you wrote
When you were away
My favourite song
Reminds me of
You, oh oh oh
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
This is how it should
Be, this is how
Every time, every time
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favourite one
Yeah every time, every time
I feel you're gone
I get your song in my head
It's my favourite one
The one you wrote
My favourite song
Reminds me of you
We Will
Know What It Is
Holly Throsby :
Two round little stones on the roof with us
We throw 'em off, perfectly in love
To the old ground below
And I say it's so, 'cause I say it's so
And oh, then we loosen up
We all loosen up with the setting sun
Aglow in our heart of hearts
Which shall beat for us, the club and club
You know what I'm thinking of
And I thought a lot, about the thoughts I've got
As the old wind blows
And we will know what it is
And we will know what it is
I no longer look in the branches of
A dozen fallen logs
For an answer, love
To my old aching heart
And my aching thoughts of a lover gone
And oh, then we loosen up and start saying stuff
We are saying stuff
Alone, in our common lots
Of "I want, I want, but I don't know what"
And won't till my soul dissolves
When my soul dissolves, like a setting sun
Or a falling stone
And we will know what it is
And we will know what it is
I want, I want, but I don't know what
And won't
I want, I want, but I don't know what
And won't
And we will know what it is
And we will know what it is...
If The
Night Is Dark
Sally Seltmann :
Cannot stick to one theme
Cannot stick to one plan
Cannot stick to one man
Always changing my mind
Always searching to find
Something I'll understand
Yeah, I'll travel the seas
I'll get down on my knees
I'll live passionately
I have the world in my hands
Will I break, will I stand strong
Am I gonna see what's out there for me
I might be right
I might be wrong
But I have no regrets
To lean upon
If the night is dark
Then this is my sun
This is my home
This is where I belong
This is where I belong
Well I'm trying to decide
Should I run, should I hide
Show them tricks and be tamed
Yeah, it's true that I've changed
But I'm also the same
I'm just playing the game
If you lay down beside me
You'll feel that I'm cold
And I'm empty, it's true
See the more I reveal
The more lonely I feel
What was one is now broken
Broken in two
I might be right
I might be wrong
But I have no regrets
To lean upon
If the night is dark
Then this is my sun
This is my home
This is where I belong
This is where I belong
This is where I belong
Going To
Sleep
Holly Throsby :
I do believe
That I am going
To sleep
So don't make a din
'Cause I'll be dreaming
That a wind welled up and took my eye out
And the storm took the roof with it
I do believe
That I want you
Around
We make our sounds
We make them out loud
But from a window sill I could be lost to you
From a branch you could be lost to me
Staring at the ceiling
And how
Trying to keep my feet on the ground
I do believe
That I'm dreaming aloud
When you're around
When we're about town
But from a window sill I could be lost to you
From a branch you could be lost to me
Rest Your
Head On My Shoulder
Sarah Blasko :
Rest your head on my shoulder
And I'll take care of your worries
It was you who promised this to me
It was you who offered me courage
In my darkest hour you can hear me
Softly question my travels
When doubt becomes me I'm troubled
And all my fears unravel
So simple when I was younger
But now I question my worth
Though my heart beats strong
There is doubt in my blood, in my bones
Like a song never sung
Like a night without morning
A promise undone
Rest your head on my shoulder
And I'll take care of your worries
It was you who promised this to me
It was you who offered me courage
In my darkest hour you can hear me
Softly question my travels
When doubt becomes me I'm troubled
And all my fears unravel
Do I seek to find disappointment
Do I write with a sense of shame
Like a bird on the ground
Who has injured its wing
I can no longer sing
I'm just waiting for
Someone to tell me
Again and again and again
Rest your head on my shoulder
And I'll take care of your worries
It was you who promised this to me
It was you who offered me courage
In my darkest hour you can hear me
Softly question my travels
When doubt becomes me I'm troubled
And all my fears unravel
I Awake
I Awake
I'm awake, no I'm not scared
Shoot and arrow off my head
Fire and ice, all in between
Of this world, and all unseen
No one knows just why we're here
Embrace the doubt and face the fear
It's all about the inner search
To be a hand to gatherer
I'm going out
I'm going out
I awake unto this day
I'm going out to make a change
I've fallen down, and gotten up
Been searching everywhere for love
I've let it go, welcomed it in
I wear the scars upon my skin
The stroke was real, the force is great
My heart is an adventurer
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
I'm going out
I'm going out
I've tried to make this life my own
To find myself, I've searched alone
To let love go and let it in
I felt it burning like a sin
I've worked it out, but learned it hard
That's something's certain, life is ours
So I won't settle down and watch either way
I'm going out
I'm going out
I'm going out
I'm going out
An Arrow
I am just like and arrow
Heading straight for a destiny
And no one and nothing can take that away from me
It's something that defies what the eye can see
Nothing and no one is as real
Ans as pure and as dark as a dream
I was just like a sailor
Heading out to uncharted seas
I thought that the limit was the horizon
Discovered there was more than the eye could see
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
Nothing and no one is as real
Ans as pure and as dark as a dream
And nothing, no thothing lasts forever
And I take heart in all that I cannot see
I was just like an arrow
Heading straight for a destiny
Then I met you and the world opened up in fron of me
Revealing there was more than the eye could see...
Bury This
Come down to the ocean
Come down and I'll baptise you
To the ocean once more
Come lay down in the soil of youth
Come lay down where you and I were born
In the soil of youth I'll bury you
I'll bury you once more
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
Come now to a foreign land
Come noe, we'll start again
In a foreign land we'll start again
We'll start again once more
God-Fearing
You've got a nerve, you know you make me hate
One thing I love you try to take away
I'm not beaten down, I won't behave
Just listen this once or you will rue this day
You have no respect
Fear me tonight if you're not listening
It might be unking but it might be right
That you're not listening
Set them up, knock them down
Cast the left, cast them right
God-fearing tonight
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
Biting my lip and holding my tongue
Was the most stupid thing that I've ever done
Got carried away, let myself down
I'll shoulder that blame if you'll admit what you've down
You have no respect
Fear me tonight if you're not listening
It might be unkind but it might be right
That you're not listening
Set them up, knock them down
Cast the left, cast them right
God-fearing tonight
All Of Me
I'm wide eyed like a new life shaking in the breeze
Enraptured by the world, unsteady on my feet
I fall into a plave that I have only dreamed
And I'm the woman that I've always longed to be
And I give all of me
Could you love all you see
I'm like a young child in my simple words I speak
No memory haunts me, I am young and I am free
Safe in a hidden place and held within its arms
Oh let me love you, I will love you like a charm
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
And I'll give all of me
Could you love all you see
I'm like a leaf in the breeze, like a pattern that bleeds
Oh come a little closer and speak a little softer
Will you whisper in my ear, make everythig clear
Oh come a little closer and stand beside me
Oh bring me to life, Oh bring me to light
And I'll give you all of me
Could you love annd you see
And I give all of me
Could you love all you see
I'm like a leaf in the breeze, like a pattern that bleeds
In the morning it sings, like a bright morning sun
New Country
So hopeful, so gentle, he takes me by the hand
And leads me by water and onto promised land
So simple aritual to leave it all behind
What I search the words for, he speaks in space and time
And oh, what I find it captures me!
In the wide open spaces of a new country
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
So simple, so honest, he draws me to his side
A child lies in his arms, a storm eased by the calm
So simple. this ritual, to leave the past behind
What I search the words for, he speaks in space and time
And oh, what I find it captures me!
In the side, open spaces of a new country
I amd found in a wilderness of rare beauty
In the wide open spaces of a new country
Here
Flowers open, winter's spoken
The same world by the view has changed
A veil has lifted, the ground has shifter
What you only long for is here
A moment mends a broken heart
If you'd only known it from the start
The moments form just who we are
You were always here
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
Eyes so open, kindness spoken
The same words but their sound has changed
It's clear as crystal, a perfect picture
A landscape that you only dreamed
A moment mends a broken heart
If you'd only known it from the start
The moments form just who we are
You were always here
Always here
A moment mends a broken heart
If you'd only known it from the start
The moments form just who we are
You were always
A moment mends a broken heart
It was burning for the circumstance
A beautiful coincidence and love
Always here
Illusory Light
I knew exactly, I knew exactly what this would feel
like
I knew exactly this day was coming, I knew it right from the start
I could see it in your eyes, but I just didn't care
I knew the days were numbered, but I fell anyway
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
I knew exactly, I knew exactly what you would be to me
A scar on the horizon, a perfect dim illusory light
And I held it in my hands to protect it from the wind
But the more I held on, I knew I'd lose it again
You blew in like a breeze and rolled out like a storm
I know you didn't think it'd do any harm
I knew exactly, I knew exactly what this would feel like
To hear the same voice that said 'hello' say 'goodbye'
Fool
I've been thinking about what you said when we met
That I hold myself back, I'm my own worst enemy
There's truth in what you said, but it's not what you meant
You would have me believe it all just so that I would repent
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
I'm tired of always being your fool
Somebody who's always playing your rules
I've been thinking about who I was when we met
Desperate to be loved, I fell for all you said
I believed you for so long I forgot I was strong
But I know myeself now and I know I was wronged
I'm tired of always being the fool
Somebody who's always playing your rules
I once was lost and now I am found
I see you for who you are
I'm tired of always being your fool
Somebody who's always playing your rules
Cast The Net
I know you given to a change of heart
Move forward but still in the past
And though you think you'll never move on
Deep, inside you know you must
There's a comfort in what you know
But there's a time for letting go
Though it hurts, you're better off
The decision will be enough
Cast the net out wide
Reveal the truth inside
What you're longing for is hard to find
When you're a victim of a change of heart
You're a victim of your changing heart
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
I know the curses of a tortured soul
Longs for everything, but wanders alone
And though the longing will never grow old
There'll come a time to rest your bones
Say goodbye, it's not too late
Say goodbye, you know the way
The open waters are calling you on
From there, the longing will lead you home
Cast the net out wide
Reveal the truth inside
What you're longing for is hard to find
When you're a victim a change of heart
You're a victim of your changing heart
An Oyster, A
Pearl
Write what you know and let your feelings show
Be who you are and give all that you've got
It's easy and as hard as this
Though you try to resist
It's just the way of this world
Let it be your oyster, your pearl
Nake you an honest girl
Let it be your oyster, your pearl
Be just where you are and content with your lot
Oh, but try to look far as you wish on a star
It's easy and as hard as this
You must try to persist
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
It's just the way of this world
Ket ut be your oyster, your pearl
Make you an honest girl
Ket it be your oyster, your pearl
Not Yet
I admit that I'm unprepared
Staring into the face of death
And with my hand across my chest
I swear that I'm not ready for the test
Not yet
I'm not ready yet
I fear I've missed a chance, I've lived a fearful life
I said I wanted to die, I called to you at night
I cried to you, but it was in greed
When I was alone, when I was in need
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy
paste is a sin
Not yet
You'll not have me yet
I've found a love, I've found a home
No longer lost, no longer alone
I promise now, I won't call for you
Embrace the life that I owe to you
Not yet
I'm not ready yet
In the final hour, all will be said and done
And all I know is that the hour will come
Eternal Return
I Am Ready
I'll never know what you said
But I heard that you were talking when I
Turned my back that day
It hurt but the truth is I ask for it
I'm aware, yeah I confess I cross a line
I'm OK, yeah it's alright I start the fire
I'm not afraid, yeah I'm prepared to burn alive
To lift the burden, the burden for all to see
That I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
To be revealed
I am ready
I am ready
Say I am ready
To be revealed
I'll never know all I've done
But I know that you are watching and I
Won't turn my back this time
Oh the truth hurts but I'll try, swallow it whole
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
'Cause I'm aware, yeah I confess I cross a line
I'm OK, yeah it's alright I start the fire
I'm not afraid, yeah I'm prepared to burn alive
To lift the burden, the burden that's haunting me
'Cause I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
To be revealed
I am ready
I am ready
Say I am ready
To be revealed
'Cause I'm aware, yeah it's alright I crossed the line
I'm OK, yeah it's alright I'll burn alive
I'm prepared, I'm not afraid refined by fire
I'll keep burning, burning for all to see
That I am ready
I am ready
Say I am ready
To be revealed
I am ready
I am ready
Oh I am ready
To be revealed
To be revealed
To be revealed
'Cause I'm aware, yeah it's alright I crossed the line
I'm aware, yeah it's alright I start the fire
I'm aware, yeah it's OK I'll burn alive
To lift the burden, the burden for all to see
I Wanna Be Your Man
What can you see, can you see when you look into your eyes
How much I wanna be, wanna be someone you can recognise
Say it's easy come, easy go, living in a man's world
But it's hard to be, hard to be
A woman in your circle
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
I wanna be your man
(Maybe you will not understand)
I wanna be your man
(I know it's hard to comprehend)
I wanna be your
Well, I can see, I can see when I look into those eyes
All your family history, I'm like a mirror to your heart
Say it's easy come, easy go, you're living in a man's world
It's no place to be, place to be
A woman who is well versed
I wanna be your man
(Maybe you will not understand)
I wanna be your man
(I know it's hard to comprehend)
I wanna be your
I wanna be your
I wanna be your
(Maybe you will not understand)
I wanna be your
(I know it's hard to comprehend)
I wanna be your
(Maybe you will not understand)
I wanna be your
(I know it's hard to comprehend)
I wanna be your
Better With You
I think I've finally found my feet
I hardly recognise
Just who I was without you like I wore a disguise
You could say I've waited for you all this time
I won't deny the change I'm feeling
I cannot hide
It's better with you
We'll make it if we choose
It's better with you
Better with you
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
I'm feeling better about this city
In heart and mind
It's like a new adventure with you
My hope's alive
You could say I've waited for you all my life
No, I won't deny that feeling
I cannot lie
It's better with you
We'll make it if we choose
It's better with you
It's hard now to lose
It's better with you
We'll make it if we choose
It's better with you
Better with you

It's hard to find
Look at what we have
It's getting better all the time
Better all the time
It's better with you
We'll make it if we choose
It's better with you
It's hard now to lose
It's better with you
We'll make it if we choose
It's better with you
Better with you
It's better with you
It's better with you
Oh look at what we have
It's getting better all the time
Oh look at what we have
It's getting better all the time
Oh look at what we have
It's getting better all the time
Oh look at what we have
It's getting better all the time
I'd Be
Lost
Finally I've found someone to call my own
When I thought I'd always be alone
Your face is so familiar in this crowded room
What would I do without you now I'm home
I'd long for you
You're not just someone to believe in
You've become a part of me and I know
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
Finallly I'm doing what I need to do
Such a freedom that I find in you
Laughing at the past as though it never was
Letting go for what I thought I'd lost
Make a space for you
You're not just someone to believe in
You've become a part of me and I know
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
Without you
You're not just something to believe in
You've become a part of me and I know
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
I'd be lost without, I'd be lost without you
Without you
Without you
(Always running just as fast as I can to get to you)
Without you
(I'm always running just as fast as I can to get to you)
I'd be lost without you
(I'm always running just as fast as I can to get to you)
Without you
(I'm always running just as fast as I can to get to you)
I'd be lost without you
Maybe This Time
When I wake up in the morning
And you're with me, I see you lying right there
I get the feeling we're going somewhere
And I like it
And though I've hurt before
I want to be a part of everything you are and long to be
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
I'll be in luck
Maybe this time my love will be true
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
Feeling so strong now you're with me
I can take on whatever comes my way
I'm seeing this so clearly these days
I'm only hopeful
Although I've hurt before
I want to be a part of everything you are and long to be
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
I'll be in luck
Maybe this time my love will be true
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
I'll be in luck
Maybe this time my love will be true
It's beautiful now we've reached the top
It's beautiful now we've reached the top
My love for you won't ever stop
My love for you won't ever stop
It's beautiful now we've reached the top
So beautiful now we've reached the top
My love for you won't ever stop
My love for you won't ever stop
Maybe this time (oh maybe this time)
Maybe this time (oh maybe this time)
Maybe this time (maybe this time)
Maybe this time
Beyond
I wanna be like the sky that holds us in this endless flight
I wanna throw my arms out to you, be your sun and stars alike
Nothing could be complicated beneath this southern sky
It should be our inspiration, a sign that you and I will live forever
Can you feel what connects us
Magic we can taste and touch
Can you feel what connects us
We'll live a life beyond
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
Sailing past the emotions of a lone and troubled mind
Out here it feels so effortless, we no longer need to strive
No, nothing should be complicated beneath this southern sky
It will be our inspiration, a sign that you and I will live forever
Can you feel what connects us
Magic we can taste and touch
Can you feel what connects us
We'll live a life beyond
Can you feel what connects us
Magic we can taste and touch
Can you feel what connects us
We'll live a life beyond
We'll live a life beyond
We'll live a life beyond
Oh we'll live a life beyond
We'll live a life beyond
Luxurious
There have been loves before
That only held me down
Made me feel that I was never enough or I failed
But your gentle way with me brings out a lighter side
Feeling somehow I can finally open up and bloom
This love is so luxurious
I'm not longing to be somewhere else
An honour to receive it
I'll never stop believing
With all my heart I'll give my best for you
I never knew that love
Could work so easily
To have the faith that I can truly be myself and you'll stay
Your tender hand on mine could never hold me back
Feeling safe that I can have the space I need without fear
This love is so luxurious
I'm not longing to be somewhere else
An honour to receive it
I'll never stop believing
Oh my heart, it beats for you
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
And it was worth the wait in time
Oh you and I are moving in the same direction
Here is something we can both rely
This love is so luxurious
I'm not longing to be somewhere else
An honour to receive it
I'll never stop believing
With all my heart I'll give my best for you
Only One
Yeah I'd do anything for my love
Now I've got you by my side
Gonna show you off
Holding hands will make a mark
Won't fear it, it's alright
We're together in this one
I'm sure of it
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
Yeah I'd do anything for my love
Turn my whole world upside down
Can't get enough
Holding hands has made a mark
Won't fear it, it's alright
We're together in this one
I'm sure of it
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
Holding hands has made a mark
I wanna feel it, it's alright
We're together in this one
I'll make sure of it
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give it everything
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
My only one, I'm in luck
I'm gonna give you everything
I'm gonna give you all, give it everything
I'm gonna give it all, give it everything
I'm gonna give it all, give it everything
Oh I'm gonna give it all, give you everything
Oh I'm gonna give it all
Say What You Want
You live, you learn
How the tide can turn
You took a step and it led you here
You don't have much
But you have a will
As strong as stone
Throw the ashes clear
Wanna make it alright
Feel for you tonight
I know you had other plans
Saying you're fine
I know that you hide
Hoping you understand
That I want to be there
Just say what you want, I'll know how you feel
I'm always waiting with my open hands
You can say what you want, I'll know how you feel
There'll always be a place to rest your head
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
You live the things that you do believe
There's nothing else you can do differently
Your deep regret is so heavy tonight
Like iron, like stone
Don't try to lift it alone
Wanna make it alright
You're hurting tonight
I know you had other plans
Saying you're fine
I know that you hide
Hoping you understand
That I want to be there
Just say what you want, I'll know how you feel
I'm always waiting with my open hands
You can say what you want, I'll know how you feel
There'll always be a place to rest your head
And I want to be there for you like you are always there for me
And I want to be someone you can depend
Yeah I want to be there for you like you are always there for me
Wanna make it alright
Feel for you tonight
I know you had other plans
Saying you're fine
But, please, do not hide
Hoping you know I want to be there
I want to be
Just say what you want, I'll know how you feel
I'm always waiting with my open hands
You can say what you want, I'll know how you feel
There'll always be a place to rest your head
So hold tight
(And I want to be there for you like you are always there for me)
Hold on tight
(And I want to be someone you can depend)
Hold tight
(And I want to be there for you like you are always there for me)
Hold on tight
(And I want to be someone you can depend)
Hold tight
(And I want to be there for you like you are always there for me)
Without
It's hard to resist what is bathed in white
You lose part of yourself in all that shines so bright
Feel caught in a wilderness, can't find your way out
You've encountered a warning, rings within and without
You have not love
You have not love
If you have not love, you have nothing at all
It's hard to wake from your sleep into night
Feel beaten by wrong, but you don't know what is right
You can talk your way out or you can offer it up
Don't tread lightly for nothing
You're so heavy within
You have not love
You have not love
If you have not love, you have nothing at all
Without love
Without love
Without love, you have nothing at all
And you have nowhere to
Copy, paste, robots, i'm so tired of them
But if you look you'll find in everything
You've got to find it, choose to swim or you'll sink
You've got to have it, there's no way for the sick
Don't fall a victim to the carnal within
You have not love
You have not love
If you have not love, you have nothing at all
Without love
Without love
Without love, you have nothing at
Without
Without
Without
Without
Without
You're nothing at all
DEPTH OF FIELD
Phantom
I feel my destiny
Without a sound
Constant force of energy
Floating around
Laid your hands upon me
When I was a child
Pushed me under water
Planted in the ground
And when you're here, I'm found
I wanna say & do
I'm gonna fill my lungs with you
My phantom heartbeat
You're always there for me
It's so profound
When somebody loves you when you're down
Come lay your hand upon me
I feel like a child
Breathing under water
Living in the ground
And when you're here I'm found
I wanna say and do
I'm gonna fill my lungs with you
Winds will change
They always do
They'll blow away the very heart of you
No I'm not concerned
When you are near
My phantom heartbeat
And when you're here I'm found
I wanna say & do
I'm gonna fill my lungs with you
My phantom heartbeat
A Shot
And so I turn the pages over
I'm one year older and wiser
But desperate to believe
You meant no wrong when you walked out of here
But you stole my memories from my family
It knocked me off my feet
I took a shot right
I took a shot right to the heart
Your lack of sympathy
It got the best of me
And no one could relieve it
One day you turned and betrayed my confidence
Oh there is no evidence
Of the nights we spent talking 'til all hours
I was naive to put my trust in you
When I guess I always knew from what I'd observed
You'd one day cut me loose
I took a shot right
I took a shot right to the heart
Your lack of sympathy
It got a hold of me
And no one could relieve it
But there goes my baby
He grew so healthy and so happy
You once held him close to you
But then you took us for granted
And you left us standing there without a care
And you expect me to believe
You only wanted what was best for me?
I took a shot right
I took a shot right to the heart
Your lack of sympathy
It got the best of me
And no one could relieve it
I took a shot right
I took a shot right to the heart
Your lack of sympathy
It got a hold of me
And no one could relieve it
There was no one to relieve
No one to relieve
No one to relieve
No one to relieve it
Never Let Me Go
I don't have the time
To walk around in circles
To wonder if I'm right
Or am I doing something wrong
Some days you'll see me at my worst I know
A side of me that I cannot control
Never let me go
I'm far from perfect
I'll admit the crime and I'll do the time
Just don't ever let me go
You don't have the mind
To walk away I know
You're in too deep to give up
And you're too cowardly to let go
And you've seen me at my worst nothing to hide
From the depths I beg and scream and cry
Never let me go
No don't entertain it
Oh you'd get a shock if I put a lock on
You'll never let me go
Never let me go
Oh I know you're hurting
'Cause I stole your pride but the tide is high
So you won't ever let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
You'd get a shock if I put a lock on you
Never let me go
You'd get a shock if I put a lock on you
Never let me go
Everybody Wants
To Sin
Where did you go, who were you with
Does everybody want to know
I'm tired of the shape, the shadow you make
When you're looking down the barrel
What was the thing, who was the one
I'd tell you if I had the chance
All over the city, the suburbs and towns
I'm begging someone, please look up
Don't give up, give in
'Cause everybody wants to sin
Won't give up, give in
'Cause everybody wants to sin
What was the time, where was the place
And what was your circumstance
I'm sick of your words, all the pomp and the pose
Don't you know it's bad for your health
You show me your beauty time and again
Until I can't see anything
'Cause when you stare in the void
You'll see that the void is staring right back at you
Don't give up, give in
'Cause everybody wants to sin
Don't give up, give in
Just 'cause everybody wants to sin
I feel sorry for you, baby
Tired to all this rotten cabling
It's sucking all of your useful energy
You're getting more and more obscene
Give up, give in
When everybody wants to sin
You give up, give in
Just 'cause everybody wants to sin
Won't give up, give in
'Cause everybody wants to sin
Won't give up, give in
Just 'cause everybody wants to sin
Everybody wants to sin
Everybody wants to sin
Everybody wants to sin
Everybody wants to sin
Give up, give in
Give up, give in
Give up, give in
Everybody wants to sin
Heaven Sent
Don't wanna know where we all go
Up above or down below
I'm gonna hit my stride, play my part
Before I wake the dead from their rest
Don't wanna know where we all came from
On a star or were we reborn
Just wanna heal my scars, play my part
Well I am in this life, not in the next
I could be right, I could be wrong
But all that matters to me
What is in the heart, not what you believe
Open up my eyes so that I can meet
A world within my reach, right in front of me
If the answers are blowin' in the wind
There's no way of knowing
If we're heaven sent
We could be heaven sent
Were the ashes of my mother her returning?
I've no way of knowing
If we're heaven sent
We could be heaven sent
Or just a dream
Don't wanna know
Where we all will go
Up above or down below
I know we've hit this hard, burst these scars
Don't wanna wake the dead from their beds
Don't wanna know where we all came from
But what we're doing to weather the storm
I wanna play my part, repel the dark
Until I leave this life for what comes next
I might be right, I might be wrong
But all that matters to me
What is in the heart, not what you believe
Open up my eyes so that I can meet
A world within my reach, right in front of me
If the answers are blowin' in the wind
There's no way of knowing
If we're heaven sent
We could be heaven sent
Were the ashes of my mother her returning
I've no way of knowing
If we're heaven sent
We could be heaven sent
Or just a dream
Or just a dream
You and I are moving in the same realm
Regardless of our views on heaven and hell
So let's commune before this precious time ends
Reflections of the light that is surrounding
Might be right, might be wrong
But all that matters to me
What is in the heart, not what you believe
Open up my eyes so that I can meet
A world within my reach, right in front of me
If the answers are blowin' in the wind
There's no way of knowing
If we're heaven sent
We could be heaven sent
Were the ashes of my mother her returning
I've no way of knowing
If we're heaven sent
We could be heaven sent
Or just a dream
Or just a dream
Or just a dream
Or just a dream
Making It Up
I, I've got something to say to you
It may come as a surprise
You never know who you're talking to
I lie, you better fear it
I lie, you better fear it
When I let the feeling arise
I lie, you better fear it
I lie, you better fear it
When I let the feeling arise
'Cause I'm making it up, just lies
Don't fall making it up
Like you never thought I would
I, I know I never revealed to you
That I'm not yours alone
'Cause there are women apart from you
When I'm gone
Oh I lie, you better fear it
I lie, you better fear it
When I let the feeling arise
Oh I lie, you better fear it
I lie, you better fear it
When I let the feeling arise
'Cause I'm making it up, just lies
So don't fall , I'm making it up
Bet you never thought I would
And I know you wish that I felt some remorse
But emotions are something I can ignore
But in all honesty, a man can fake it
You're a woman, just lie back and take it
It's nothing personal when I'm on the road
And I have my needs
'Cause I'm making it up, it's just lies
So don't fall, I'm making it up
Like you never thought and
I'm making it up, it's just lies
So don't fall, I'm making it up
Like you never thought I would
Savour It
You don't have to say
I know you're leaving
Coming down the stairs, I'm not a fool
It's written on your face
I know you're seething
But I have lost the nerve to beg for you
Say you're coming up for air now
Only hope this time you'll have a chance
To savour it
Savour it
Savour it
Savour it
Well, I tell you that I'm fine
You don't believe me
You think that this is all about you
I've pushed shit up a hill
And now I'm reeling
But I'm gonna cry and beg like a fool
See I'm coming up for air now
Only wish that we had learned then
To savour it
Savour it
Savour it
Savour it
All that binds, coming undone
The pain as we unravel
All that blinds, coming undone
We breathe as we unravel
All that binds, coming undone
The pain as we unravel
All that blinds, coming undone
Savour it
Savour it
Savour it
Another
I don't need another one
I don't need a place to go
I've got everything right here
I don't want to go alone
'Cause I've got plans to make
To learn from old mistakes
Not forever want for more
Rebuild a confidence
Return to your defence
To where I was before
This hit me hard don't let me go
Don't send me off into the world
Into the rain, the heat and snow
'Cause I don't need another one
I know that you feel beaten down
You consider giving up sometimes
But the morning comes, I see the signs
A new horizon bathed in light
And there are plans to make
We'll learn from old mistakes
You keep me wanting more
I'll be your confidence
Return to your defence
To where we were before
This hit me hard don't let me go
Don't send me off into the world
Into the rain, the heat and snow
'Cause I don't need another one
The world will tell you a lie
Of all the things you need to survive
This hit me hard don't let me go
Don't send me off into the world
Into the rain, the heat and snow
'Cause I don't need another one
This hit me hard don't let me go
Don't send me off into the world
Into the rain, the heat and snow
'Cause I don't need another one
I don't need another one
I don't need another one
This hit me hard don't let me go
No, I don't need another one
This hit me hard don't let me go
No, I don't need another one
No, I don't need another one
No, I don't need another one
No, I don't need another one
No, I don't need another one
No, I don't need another one
Read My Mind
Of all the slings and arrows
That life will surely throw at us
It's never short of miracles
Oh, miracle of mine
I'm walking with my head held high
I see the world anew
How could I have imagined
I'd give life to you
I sometimes think you read my mind
And it feels like a miracle
Come on, won't you read my mind
Read my mind, oh
Cause there's nothing like hearing your half-speak
Holding your hand and keeping your head up
This is only a moment in time
But I'll be forever living in your heartbeat
I don't know where the time goes
But it is moving much too fast
It's easy to forget that you were not always there
If I can tell you one thing that I know
It's that the time is short
To make the most of everything
See beauty in it all
I sometimes think you read my mind
And it feels like a miracle
Come on, won't you read my mind
Read my mind, oh
Cause there's nothing like hearing your half-speak
Holding your hand and keeping your head up
This is only a moment in time
But I'll be forever living in your heartbeat
Cause there's nothing like hearing your half-speak
Holding your hand and keeping your head up
This is only a moment in time
But I'll be forever living in your heartbeat
And the more I stop and think about it
I find the more that I am disbelieving, disbelieving
Oh, it's so crazy when you think about it
Oh, I don't know what I would do without you
How I fear I could not live without you
Live without you now
Cause there's nothing like hearing your half-speak
Holding your hand and keeping your head up
Cause there's nothing like hearing your half-speak
Holding your hand and keeping your head up
Leads Me Back
I never thought this day would end
As it comes to a close
I try to make some sense
Of what this life is, it's harder
The weight it bearing down on my spine tonight
I go out walking, wading
Hope I won't cross over the line tonight
Tonight
I don't know how it came to this
There seemed nothing wrong
Now I'm indisposed
Is this our life now?
A burden
I feel it down the length of my spine tonight
I go out searching, wading
Hope I won't cross over the line tonight
And that
It leads me back to you
That it leads me back to you
That it leads me back to you
One thing for certain
I don't wanna be without you
We're always hurting, failing
The ones that we know we should love the most
No I don't know how all the days will end
But when they come to a close
I hope I understand
What this life is, and that I'm better
At carrying the weight for the both of us
Ever-searching, hopeful
Until I cross over the line that night
And that leads me back to you
That it leads me back to you
That it leads me back to you
Always leads me back to you
Wild Seeds
Superstar
Have I told you lately
How I see you
Some kind of wonder
When you're here
We've all been searching
Driving highways
So don't be saying
You've lost yourself
You know who you are
You're a superstar
Hanging on my bedroom wall
Walking down the hall
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
Keeper of my only heart
When we are apart
Oh my darling
You know who you are
When we were younger
(We were younger)
We said we'd always
Remind each other
Of who we are
You know who you are
You're a superstar
Hanging on my bedroom wall
Walking down the hall
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
Keeper of my only heart
When we are apart
Oh my darling
You know who you are
You know who you are
You, you're a song
You're the sun
You're a winding road
On a sea, on a wave
Taking me back home
Now like a seed
In the ground
We are growing up
Look how far we have come
How I see you
You know who you are
You're a superstar
Hanging on my bedroom wall
Walking down the hall
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
Keeper of my only heart
When we are apart
Oh my darling
You know who you are
You know who you are
Wild Seeds
I've heard it, said before that youth is like a hallway to a door
I burst through it
Wild seeds in the ground, I threw them all around with blind abandon
I was reckless
Like a wind, like a wave
I hurtled through those days
I died a thousand ways
God help me, I was free
I was fast, I was lost, I was half awake and getting it so wrong
I couldn't help it
The years rolled along, they all rolled into one, I couldn't catch them
I was breathless
Like a wind, like a wave
I hurtled through those days
I died a thousand ways
God help me, I was free
Like a wind, like a wave
I hurtled through those days
I died a thousand ways
God help me
Like the wind, like the sand
I was falling through your hands
I might never understand
God help me, God help me
God help me, it was like a dream
God help me, it was like a dream
Not Only I
When I was a child I used to say
Only I love
Only I want
Everything that I'd see
Growing up was like waking
From the deepest sleep
What I found was
In a dream
Nothing was what it seems
Not only I want something to believe in
Not only I long for the feeling
Not only I wanna wake up
Into a new day
Knowing we feel the same is a comfort to me
All the love
All the shame
All the questioning
I look around and I'm ready
What will be will be
And I'll listen
And I'll see
Let the world sing to me
Not only I want something to believe in
Not only I long for the feeling
Not only I wanna wake up
Into a new day
It's never-ending
Time, it goes on
Sometimes I feel so alone
Restless and empty
Certain and strong
There is no right and no wrong
Not only I want something to believe in
Not only I long for the feeling now
Not only I wanna wake up
Into a new
Not only I want something to believe in
Not only I long for the feeling now
Not only I wanna wake up
Into a new day
One Way Or Another
See it in your eyes
Something bigger than us
And we can have it
There's nothing more to say
When we have so much history between us
I will be the one who loves you
When you lose your way without warning
There's no time for indecision
Waiting at the corner
We'll go one way
One way or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
Waking up today
We're a world away from where we started
When there's more than one road
We can travel along together
I will be the one who loves you
When you lose your way without warning
There's no time for indecision
Waiting at the corner
We'll go one way
One way or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
I know for certain that
We can go on
Walking beside you
We're lost and we're found
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
Or another
(Either one way or another, either one way or another)
One way or another
Beautiful Mind
I'm a dreamer
Always stuck in my imagination
And I must admit
This is just fiction I'm creating
Am I crazy, running all day
Thinking always: I want to catch
The feeling that I had
When I first fell in love
Beautiful mind
I have no control of
My beautiful mind
What am I afraid of
There's nothing wrong with
What goes on inside
A beautiful mind
I'm a dreamer
Drifting on a breeze of admiration
And I do confess
This is just pure infatuation
I'm pretending that
I'm back at the beginning
But it's just a world in front of me
One that I am dreaming of
Beautiful mind
I have no control of
My beautiful mind
What am I afraid of
There's nothing wrong
With what goes on inside
A beautiful mind
I must be out of my (out of my)
I must be out of my mind
(Out of my mind)
Let It Out
Let it out (don't be afraid)
Of who you are (what you were)
Or where you've been
You say honesty is hard
That you won't be safe
Or be okay
(Say it like you mean it)
I am here now
(As you see it)
Let me know what's on your mind
(Say it, I'll believe it, let me hear it)
Don't be holding back your feelings
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
Let it go (free yourself)
'Cause we all have doubts (hopes and fears)
And hold things in
I can see you're struggling
But it won't be long until I'm home
(Say it like you mean it)
I am here now
(As you see it)
Let me know what's on your mind
(Say it, I'll believe it, let me hear it)
Don't be holding back your feelings
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
Don't regret these words
It's not a waste of time
Don't you walk through the door
And feel no shame at all
Don't regret these words
We only have this time
Don't you walk through the door
And feel no shame at all
(Say it like you mean it)
I am here now
(As you see it)
Let me know what's on your mind
(Say it, I'll believe it, let me hear it)
Don't be holding back your feelings
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
Time To Myself
There's no chains
Like the ones you put on yourself
When you try to be somebody else
It only locks you in
When you come home
You'll find the key in the door
Though I'm not there anymore
I'll be back again
So don't think
I don't need anyone else
I just need time to myself
Time to myself now
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little
When I've had time (I've had time)
To be alone with my thoughts (alone with my thoughts)
The ones I try to ignore (try to ignore)
I find them surfacing
I let go (I let go)
I see clearly my mind (clearly my mind)
I'm breathing just fine (breathing just fine)
So much more to give
The city sounds
Are just no good for my health
I just need time to myself
Time to myself now
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little
I wanna swim in the ocean deep
Floating free
I wanna walk in the wilderness
Then meet you here
When I return
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little time
I need a little
I'm
An Island
Looking out to the horizon
Gonna keep my eyes
Steady on the even line
So many nights when I was broken
Then you saw me coming through to the other side
I'm an island, many seasons
I am someone you can believe in
I don't follow where the wind blows
I'm on the ground
Feet on the ground
You and I, we're like each other
'Cause we both need freedom
Like we need a home
And there's nothing wrong
With our desires
If it's worth it
Give up everything you own
I'm an island, many seasons
I am someone you can believe in
I don't follow where the wind blows
I'm on the ground
Feet on the ground
When my bones are in the ground
I see you standing
Looking down on me
So steady on your feet
When nothing in me makes a sound
I hear you telling
Your child about me
And how I found my peace
I'm an island, many seasons
I am someone you can believe in
I don't follow where the wind blows
I'm on the ground
Feet on the ground
Feet on the ground
More Women
How could yo uthink that it wouldn't really matter
Walk away and turn off the light
You said you were lonely
When we were together
That you need more women
Wind in hair
And my bags are packed
I'm not looking back
When there's nothing left
I'll go on
(I'll go on, I'll go)
(I'll go on, I'll go)
I'll go on
(I'll go on, I'll go)
Without you
A week ago you told me
You don't have to worry
You said you were true to me
Told me I made love
A good place to be
But now you need more women
Wind in hair
And my bags are packed
I'm not looking back
When there's nothing there
I'll go on
(I'll go on, I'll go)
(I'll go on, I'll go)
I'll go on
(I'll go on, I'll go)
Without you
I'll go on
(I'll go on, I'll go)
(I'll go on, I'll go)
I'll go on
(I'll go on, I'll go)
Without you
(I'll go on)
I'll go without you
Make peace with solitude
(I'll go on)
Tell myself I don't need you
(Without you)
Three states are loving you
(I'll go on)
I'll go without you
Make peace with solitude
(I'll go on)
Tell myself I don't need you
(Without you)
Three states are loving you
Two Dreamers
We're leaving town
Going north along the coast road
How far we'll drive
You and I, well, we don't mind
We're listening to the radio
Rolling down the windows
We've already left our cares behind
We're going where the sun shines
There's no looking back
That's what we're learning
Nothing's gonna stop us now
The wheels are turning
We've got the world
In the palm of our hands
Driving along with
The wind in our hair
I believe in destiny
One road at a time
Just you and me
We talk about
The places that we wanna go
Nowhere's too far
When you have a restless heart
Underneath a southern sky
We forget about our real lives
Remember who we really are
Two dreamers in a small car
There's no looking back
That's what we're learning
Nothing's gonna stop us now
The wheels are turning
We've got the world
In the palm of our hands
Driving along with
The wind in our hair
I believe in destiny
One road at a time
Just you and me
There's no looking back
That's what we're learning
Nothing's gonna stop us now
The wheels are turning
We've got the world
In the palm of our hands
Driving along with
The wind in our hair
I believe in destiny
One road at a time
Just you and me
Dear Nighttime
Walking down the road and
Watching as the sun goes down
Heading to the place I go when
I've got stuff on my mind
No one's there, no one's around
Just this land, just this house
No sound, no fuss
No people waiting up
It's just us
Dear nighttime
It's been too long since
I've felt my feet on the earth
And I want to give myself over to
This beautiful world
No one's here, no one's around
This wild land, this small house
No sound, no fuss
No people waiting up
Oh moon, oh stars
It's perfect where we are
It's just us
Dear nighttime
My freedom, my freedom
(Dear nighttime)
Dear nighttime, dear nighttime
(It's alright)
It's alright now, it's alright now
(My freedom)
My freedom, my freedom
(Dear nighttime)
No sound, no fuss
No people waiting up
Oh moon, oh stars
It's perfect where we are
It's just us
Dear nighttime
My freedom, my freedom
You've
Got A Story
We all have our complications
Try to run from what we can't explain
So turn your troubles intoinspiration
I know you've got something to say
You've got,you've got, you've got, you've got
You've got a story
You've got, you've got, you've got, you've got
You've got a story to tell
We all struggle with confrontation
Life can throw heavy things your way
Don't be ruled by your situation
Turn your dark nights into day
You've got,you've got, you've got, you've got
You've got a story
You've got, you've got, you've got, you've got
You've got a story
You've got,you've got, you've got, you've got
You've got a story
You've got, you've got, you've got, you've got
You've got a story to tell
You've got a story to tell...
I JUST
NEED TO CONQUER THIS MOUNTAIN
The Way
Met you in church when God was on my side
You said goodbye when it all went to hell
Met you when I was young, left me alone when I grew wise
So these days I just cry and yell
"Get me to church, I've got God on my mind
I'll get down on my knees if I must
Get me to church, take me back to the time
Of the wedding, the funeral pyre"
Show me the way, the truth of my life
I don't know where I went wrong
I can't understand the touch of your hand
Is deep and it lingers on
But I want to be free
Met you at a time when we didn't know much
We probably knew less than most
We were sheltered back then, we were quite untouched
Except for the hands of the holy ghost
Get me to church, I've got God on my mind
I'll get down on my knees, talk in tongues
Get me to church, take me back to the time
I saw the spirit descend like a dove
And show me the way, the truth of my life
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can't understand the touch of your hand
Is deep and it lingers on
Now I want to be free
Of what you saw in me
Get me to church, I want God on my side
It was simple when we were young
Get me to church so they can cast this out
I want to be free of what you denounced
Bothering Me
You've come alive in my dreams
Now we are not talking
The silence is deafening
In sleep I find peace
'Cause I never dreamed you would run
The hurt that my words awakened
The shadow of myself I'd become
Can't forgive what I've done
'Cause I think of you every turn
Oh how it burns, how it burns
Like a ghost I see you everywhere
But it's the words that ring so loud that I can't bear
"I wish we never met"
Now I do not like what I see
A life not aligned with my dreams
Now I'm not who I thought I would be
And it's bothering me
Seems everywhere that I turn
Another door closes so firm
Is this the the fate I deserve
And is it following me
'Cause I think of you every turn
Oh how it burns, how it burns
Like a ghost I see you everywhere
But it's the words that ring so loud that I can't bear
"I wish we never met"
'Cause it took the end of the world
To end us, the poetry's absurd
I know your packed bags were so well rehearsed
For your saviour's return
Godspeed my stranger, my love
The holy spirit came like a dove
Now she leaves me, my senses are numbed
And the devil has won
Goodbye!
(Feat. Ryan Downey)
There’s a part of me that could never say goodbye
But in all honesty, this time I must to save my life
I’m gonna run out of this place
Leave the hurt & the disgrace
It’s destroying me, I am longing to be free
So goodbye from the girl who won your heart
And to your foolish pride, that was like a bow & arrow
Never missed the mark
I don’t want to leave, but I know it’s not good for me
To keep returning to the memory of the scene
I want to forget everything
All the words that you’ve written
They’re undoing me, they are painful now to read
So goodbye from the one who stole your heart
To your foolish pride, that was like a bow & arrow
Never missed a mark
Oh, watch me launch into the sky
Look down upon what I survived
I’m crying & waving now
As I drift high above the clouds
You’re still haunting me, I can see you when I close my eyes
And you’re following, no matter where I go or I try to hide
This time you’re not coming with me
I’ve locked the doors, swallowed the keys
This house is burning, it’ll be gone by the morning
So goodbye to the one who broke my heart
And to your foolish pride, it was like a bow & arrow, never missed a mark
So goodbye I’m the one who broke your heart
And to your foolish pride, it was like a bow & arrow, never missed a mark
Goodbye!
I Can't
Wait Anymore
Time hasn't made it much clearer
And when I look in the mirror
I see the person that you told me I'd become
Your words cast a spell that I can't shake
Each day I'm reliving the heartache
Now I see a person that's desperate to move on
You said our time is coming and you know we need to talk
But it's hard to believe you when I have been waiting so long
But I can't wait anymore
It's something I can't afford to go back
I don't want what I lack, I want to live like I'm reborn
Time hasn't brought you must nearer
Oh I thought to you I was dearer
Than to let years go by like they don't mean much
I've been under this spell that I can't shake
Each day you don't call how my heart breaks
You've gotta a way of making sure I'm holding on
You said our time is coming and you know we need to talk
But it's hard to believe you when I have been waiting so long
But I can't wait anymore
It's something I can't afford to go back
I don't want what I lack, I want to live like I'm reborn
No, I can't wait anymore
Wondering when you will call, I don't know
But I've been here before, I've been a fool this time for sure
But I can't wait anymore
It's something I can't afford to go back
I don't want what I lack, I want to live like I'm reborn
But I can't wait anymore
Wondering when you will call, I don't know
But I've been here before, I've been a fool this time for sure
Give You Up
I won't give up on you
'Cause you're my one and only
And nobody knows me
Like you do
Wish I could you make you feel
A little less lost and lonely
I'd tell everybody
About you
And nobody's perfect
And as long as you keep searching
Deep inside yourself
You’ll never go wrong
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I won't let you down
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
No, I won't let you go
Walking through the shadows
You drag yourself down too low
You stay too long
Your body left your soul
Hanging at the gallows
But it took two to tango
It's not just your fault
'Cause nobody's perfect
And as long as you keep searching
Deep inside yourself
You'll never go wrong
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I won't let you down
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I won't let you down
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I know you're worried that everything has changed and can't go back
But just try your best not take the change to heart
I know your confidence is shaken but you’ve been awakened
Keep calling on the best in all you see
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I won't let you down
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
No, you'll be not down
I'm never going to give you up
Never give you up
Emotions
What is the source of all this water flowing out of me
I want to stem the flow so that it can’t hurt somebody
I know it’s true that my emotions are all consuming
But you don’t see the half of what is here under lock & key
A feel a storm is brewing now on the horizon
If you’re in this city, better run
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No one is safe from my reckless emotions
When this dam has burst, the deluge hurts
No one can save you from the depths of my emotions!
I want to rip this beating, bleeding heart right out of me
What is the good in being too much for everybody
I feel so much sometimes it’s like there’s no real sense to see
It builds & builds like there’s a surge of lava that’s rising
It’s reached a fever pitch and I can’t deny it
If you’re in this city, take cover
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No one is safe from my reckless emotions
When this dam has burst, the deluge hurts
No one can save you from the depths of my emotions
In My Head
“Seek you’ll find” I’m holding onto those words
As I search high & low for where to begin
Who I thought I was has faded away
Now I have the chance to start afresh
I’m holding on to you my sweet ones
And I’m moving on to somewhere better
To start again is an adventure for you
Oh I count the blessings one by one
I’ll go where I haven’t before
I am knocking on doors, they open
I’ll grow something so beautiful
From what’s imperfect & flawed in my head
I can see it all in my head
I’ve said goodbye to all the longing for more
To those old dreams that filled my head
There are new ones that are bursting with life
There is no room for what is dead
I feel alive for the first time in years
And I’m so grateful you are here
I learnt from you to get up early
And make the most of what I have
I’ll go where I haven’t before
I am knocking on doors, they open
I’ll grow something so beautiful
From what’s imperfect & flawed in my head
I can see it all in my head
Dream Weaver
We used to call you the dream weaver
You made us feel anything was possible
You won my heart
And you knew I had yours
Now you’re a light shining down on us
Wish I could go back & see you again
Now I sing your praise, forever changed
Dream Weaver
You used to play the drums in the air
While I sang, it gave me confidence
Focussed on you like you were on stage
It calmed my nerves, it was beautiful
I can’t go back & see you again
But I will sing your praise, forever changed
Dream Weaver!
I sing your name
Forever changed
I see your face
When I need strength
What would you do
I ask myself
'Cause I need light
'Cause I need love
I can’t go back & see you again
But I can sing your praise, I’m forever changed
I can’t go back & hold you my friend
But I will never let go
My love is never ending
Dream Weaver
To Be Alone
I came out of a marriage when I was only 26
I vowed I’d never give up myself that way again
I’d never been alone, I’d never done whatever I wanted
So I relished the chance to start a life on my own
I used to think that I was running from the past
It was romantic to be a fugitive at last
I used to pride myself in the selfishness I had
How far I’ve come from that
Now I’m running home
Where my baby’s crying
No time to be alone & wonder who I am
I’m getting on, so there’s no use in fighting
We’ll never have the chance to live this time again
I’m tired these days & I fear that I am getting too old
To be the kind of mother that I never had
I struggle sometimes to know where everything I’m doing will lead
So I love looking back on everywhere that I’ve been
I used to love that I was running from the past
It was so romantic to be a fugitive at last
I used to pride myself in the selfishness I had
How far I’ve come from that!
I’m running home
Where my baby’s crying
No time to be alone & wonder who I am
I’m getting on, so there’s no use in fighting
We’ll never have the chance to live this time again
I used to love that I was running from the past
It was romantic to be a fugitive at last
I used to pride myself in the selfishness I had
How far I’ve come from that
I’m running home
Where my baby’s crying
No time to be alone & wonder who I am
I’m getting on, so there’s no use in fighting
We’ll never have the chance
To live this time again
Divine
Have you ever wondered what you’ve been fighting for
Wake up in disbelief you always thought you were at war
But there’s no enemy, & no victory, there’s no devil in sight
Been upturning chairs, but there’s nothing there
There was nothing all this time
You hand me the morning with a look in your eye
Calling out my name like a song you devised
Walking over heart one sweet step at a time
You came to remind me oh this life, oh this life is divine
Never time to question, you were always after more
No time for reflection you’re always heading out the door
Flying somewhere else, oh I’d lose myself til I was nothing for the night
Now I found myself here in someone else, there is nowhere to hide
You hand me the morning with a look in your eye
Calling out my name like a song you devised
Walking over heart one sweet step at a time
You came to remind me oh this life, oh this life is divine
Do you ever wonder where you’ve been
Like you’re only just waking from a dream!
You hand me the morning with a look in your eye
Calling out my name like a song you devised
Walking over heart one sweet step at a time
You came to remind me oh this life, oh this life is divine

Be tonight
( Prelusive EP )
Darling, cover me with your palms
Feel the warmth feel the way to my heart
I have no secrets, nothing I'll deny, tonight
Say you've had enough of strength
And I just want to lead a good life
I'm scarred, don't leave me to the lions, tonight
So darling don't sail away
Your love is all I have
And don't believe what they say
Just be tonight
This life is ours tonight
Darling, capture me with your charms
Leave the wealth of wait in my arms
I have no comfort without you
This world is not my home
Say you've had enough of strength
And I just want to lead a good life
I'm scarred, don't leave me to the lions, tonight
So darling don't sail away
Your love is all I have
And don't believe what they say

This life is ours tonight
So darling don't sail away

Don't
dream it's
over
(
She will have her way : songs of Neil & Tim
Finn )
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
Fall down
( Don't u eva EP )
Long are the days
And the nights of dismay
They're back again
Just like they never ended
I wonder around in the days
Circle around your grave
Just like you never left it
I watch it all fall down
It all falls down
I fall down from helpless feet
And blistered knees
That are cut, and bleed
To find some release
Blood makes your sound
A drop of life
When it can't be found
You can't be found
The sound denial
I watch it all fall down
It all falls down
Is there something else
One thing I barely recognise
The closer to being revealed
The harder I fall to my knees
Oh I fall, we fall, one by one
But we only make a sound
Flame trees
(
Little fish soundtrack - Cold Chisel )
Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We share some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Try to book a room to stay tonight
Number one is to find some friends to say "you're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same"
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
Settle in to play "do you remember so and so"
Number three is never say her name
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
But ah! Who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway
Takes more than just a memory to make me cry
I'm happy just to sit here round a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
There's a girl falling in love near where the Pianola stands
With her young local factory out-of-worker, holding hands
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she
Won't be around, won't be around
Follow the sun
( Prelusive EP )
Never wanted it to be that way
I always wanted you to see the sun
Never wanted it to be that way
I always wanted you to see the sun
But she was on the outside fading away from you
And seems that somehow she had finally found the truth
Felt life forever haunted eyes face the floor
Feeling somehow life had been here before
I somehow misunderstood what I should be
And wanted it the way that you'd rescue me
She is on the outside looking on me
She's like the sun I follow, oh
Waiting for the rain again
Watching as the storm begins
Feeling like I've done in times before
This time a thousand lost regrets washed up on this shore
I somehow misunderstood what I should be
And wanted it the way that you'd rescue me
She is on the outside looking on me
She's like the sun I follow, oh
Never wanted it to be that way
I always wanted you to see the sun
Never wanted it to be that way
I always wanted you to see the sun
Never wanted it to be that way
I always wanted you to see the sun
Never wanted it to be that way
I always wanted you to see the sun
So you don't want egressions anymore
I know a way of letting go
‘Cause I can't rely on what I've learnt
Yeah, yeah, yeah oh
I somehow misunderstood what I should be
And wanted it the way that you'd rescue me
She is on the outside looking on me
She's like the sun I follow, ooh
She is on the outside looking on me
(never wanted it to be that way, always
Wanted you to see the sun)
She's like the sun I follow, oh
(never wanted it to be that way, always
Wanted you to see the sun)
She is on the outside looking on me
(never wanted it to be that way, always
Wanted you to see the sun)
She's like the sun I follow, ooh
(never wanted it to be that way, always
Wanted you to see the sun)
Never wanted it to be that way
Goodbye yellow brick road
( Like a version vol.2 - Elton John )
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
Hey Ya!
(Outkast cover / Live at Triple J's Like a Version)
One, two, three oh
My baby, don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door
Don't try to fight the feeling
Because the thought alone
Is killing me right now
Thank God for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You think you've got it
Ooh you think you've got it
But got it, just don't get it
Till' there's nothing at all
We've been together
Ooh we've been together
But seperate's always better
When there's feelings involved
If what they say is
Nothing is forever
Then what makes
What makes love the exception
So why you
Why you, why you, why you
Why you so we in denial
When we know we're not happy here
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Alright now fellas (yeah)
Now what's cooler than being cool (ice cold)
I can't hear ya
I say, what's cooler than being cool (ice cold)
Well, alright, alright, alright…
Say now ladies (yeah)
Now don't have me break this thing down for nothing
Now I see you all on your baddest behavior
Lend me some sugar, I-I'm your neighbor
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Oh shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Into the great wide open
( Don't u eva EP - Tom Petty )
Eddie waited till he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub, he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
The papers said it always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Life On Mars
(David Bowie / Triple j Like A Version)
It's a God awful small affair
To the girl with the mousey hair
But her mummy is yelling: "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is no where to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is sadd'ning bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a sadd'ning bore
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
And it's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars
Is there life on Mars
Is there life on Mars
Is there life on Mars
Is there life on Mars
Losin' It
( Underground Lovers Cover / Duet with Glenn Bennie )
Hey you, stare at the sun
Not gonna see, anyone
Lost my nerve I didn't know what to say
A weakness now you've gone away
Old man sits on a hill
His whole life why it lingers still
He sees his face drawn in the sand
At the edge of the sea
I might sit on a beach
Where the waves are out of reach
Watch the ocean as it rolls on a way
A weakness now you've gone away
Hey you, stare at the sun
Not gonna see, anyone
Lost my nerve I didn't know what to say
A weakness now you've gone away
Losing you is the only thing I got to lose
Losing you, yeah you're the only thing I got to lose
Yeah it's true; you're the only thing I got to lose
Yeah it's true; yeah the only thing I got
I'm gonna lose my love
I'm gonna lose my soul
I'm gonna lose my records and the will to know
I'm gonna lose this headache then I'll lose you to
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Yeah it's true; you're the only thing I got to lose
Yeah it's true; you're the only thing I got
You're the only thing I got to lose
You're the only thing I got
Maybe this
Time
( Cinema Blasko EP / Cabaret Ost )
Maybe this time, i'll be lucky
Maybe this time, you'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loves me
'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time i'll win
'Cause everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy'
That's what I long to be
Now all the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time
Maybe this time i'll win
New religion
( Prelusive EP )
In my new religion
I escape the tension
In my true confessions
You're worth a mention
In my new religion
I'll forgive no transgressions
In my confrontations
In my legislations
But you don't know me
That well
But you follow me
I can tell
Take one step forward into the light and say
In my new religion
Forgive my obsessions
Go back before it all began
Go back before it all began
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you don't know me
That well
But you follow me
I can tell
Take one step forward into the light and say
But you don't know me
That well
But you follow me
I can tell
Take one step forward into the light and say
Out Here On
My Own
( Cinema Blasko EP / Irene Cara Cover / Fame Ost )
Sometimes I wonder
Where i've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
Make believin' is hard alone
Out here on my own
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin'
For that risin' star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own
When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby be strong for me
Baby belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you
Until the morning sun appears
Making light
Of all my fears
I dry the tears
I've never shown
Out here on my own
When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you
Sometimes I wonder
Where i've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own
Out here on my own
Seems like old
times
( Cinema Blasko EP / Carmen Lombardo cover )
Seems like old times, having you to walk with
Seems like old times, having you to talk with
And it's still a thrill just to have my arms around you
Still the thrill that it was the day I found you
Seems like old times, dinner dates and flowers
Just like old times, staying up for hours
Making dreams come true, doing things we used to do
Seems like old times being here with you
Sinner
(Neil Finn cover / Seeker Lover Keeper / They Will
Have Their Way - The Songs Of Tim & Neil Finn LP)
See it anyone, got my eyes, got my face
Sing it everyone, got my nose, got my blood
Conscience plays upon me now
Safe until my luck runs out
Cukoos call, pendulum swings
I thought you knew everything
Lift my hands make the cross
Sinner, I have never learned
Beginner, I cannot return
Forever I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier
These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
Under moonlight I stood wild and naked
I felt no shame, just my spirit awakened
See it everything, got my eyes, got my face
Fireball drop from the sky
All my dreams have come to pass
Where's my faith, is it lost
Can't see it 'til you cast it off
Sinner, there is no such thing
Beginner, I have learned to sing
Forever I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier
Today I am still disconnected
To the face that I saw in the clouds
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
See it anyone, got my eyes, got my face
Sing it everyone, got my nose, got my blood
These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
Something
Good
( Cinema Blasko EP / The Sound Of Music )
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something
Something good
Sounds Of
Then (This Is Australia)
(GANGgajang cover)
I think I hear the sounds of then and people talking
The scenes recalled by minute movement
To the songs they fall from the backing tape
That certain texture, that certain smell
To lie in sweat on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent HardieFlex
That certain texture, that certain smell
Brings home the heavy days
Brings home the the nighttime swell
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane-fields
Laugh and think, "This is Australia"
The block is awkward, it faces west
Long diagonals and sloping, too
And in the distance, through the heat haze
In convoys of silence the cattle graze
That certain texture, that certain beat
Brings forth the nighttime heat
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane-fields
Laugh and think, "This is Australia"
To lie in sweat on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent HardieFlex
That certain texture, that certain smell
Brings forth the heavy days
Brings forth the nighttime swell
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane-fields
Laugh and think, "This is Australia"
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane-fields
Laugh and think, "This is Australia"
This is Australia
This is Australia
This is Australia
Sweet surrender
( Prelusive EP )
There's only one way that I'm walking
Only one thing that I'm talking about
And it's all surrounding you
I feel so light me head is dreaming
So light my eyes are beaming
And I light the way for you
Sweet surrender, soul inviting
I could fall straight into your arms
Sweet surrender, has its price
I would risk it all for you
Sweet surrender, soul inviting
I could fall straight into your arms
Sweet surrender, has its price
I would risk it all for your love
Stating that, and to leave me to its morning
Only part when day is dawning
And the sky awakens you
Come lies beneath your skin, a storm
‘Cause within your eyes are mountains
As the ground disappears
Sweet surrender, soul inviting
I could fall straight into your arms
Sweet surrender, has its price
I would risk it all for you
Sweet surrender, soul inviting
(sweet surrender, soul inviting)
I could fall straight into your arms
Sweet surrender, has its price
(sweet surrender)
I would risk it all for your love
For your love
Say you'd risk it all for your love
I would risk it all for your love
Sweetness comes from heaven above
My love, oh my, oh my
Sweet surrender, soul inviting
(sweet surrender, soul inviting)
I could fall straight into your arms
Sweet surrender, has its price
(sweet surrender)
I would risk it all for you
Sweet surrender, soul inviting
(sweet surrender, soul inviting)
I could fall straight into your arms
(i'd fall in)
Sweet surrender, has its price
(sweet surrender)
I would risk it all for your love
Will you ever know
( Prelusive EP )
The time has come to turn and run
When there seems there's no room to fall
And what's the point of kneeling down, just
To hit the ground and crawl
Too many tears to try and swim when alone
Against the floor
Too many thoughts to think too hard when
There's no absolutes anymore
‘Cause you fly us in the deepest paths
And faith deserves an open heart
Will you ever know
You ever know
You ever know
What this world could be
Is not just illusive fantasy
Will you ever know
You ever know
You ever know
What this world would mean
If you knew your place in history
The time has come to make the change: either
Seek the truth or run
Ooh the truth is this ignorance is bliss when
Your inanity is like a gun
‘Cause you fly us in the deepest paths
Not nestled in your cheap remarks
‘Cause you fly us in the deepest paths
Will you ever know
You ever know
You ever know
Why this world would be
Is not just illusive fantasy
Will you ever know
You ever know
You ever know
(you ever know, you ever know, you ever, you ever know)
What this world would mean
(you ever know, you ever know, you ever )
If you knew your place in history
(you ever know, you ever know, you ever )
Will you ever know
You ever know
You ever know
(you ever know, you ever know, you ever)
What this world would mean
(you ever know, you ever know, you ever)
If you knew your place in history
(you ever know, you ever know, you ever)
Xanadu
( Cinema Blasko EP / Olivia Newton-John cover / Xanadu Ost )
A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now
Open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
They call it Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting love
And you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
Now we are here in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu
Now we are here in Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu
The love
The echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The dream
That came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting love
And you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
Now we are here in Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu
Now we are here in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu...
Your way
( Prelusive EP )
You've got a way that makes the darkness
Light the earth seem holy
Spark in your eye ignites the fire in my hart
My fever is high, my throat is dry whenever
You're around me
It's in your way, my love, that always inbounds
It's in the way move me darling (it's in the way)
It's in the way you come and go (it's in the way)
It's in the way the colours are drifting
Slowly (it's in the way)
It's in the way, it's in the way (it's in the way)
Right when I thought my life was mine
My heart was working for me
I realised this blood was flowing for you
‘Cause your ways have made the seasons fade
Into an endless summer
The coldness of winter, only felt when you're gone
It's in the way move me darling (it's in the way)
It's in the way you come and go (it's in the way)
It's in the way the colours are drifting
Slowly (it's in the way)
It's in the way, it's in the way (it's in the way)
‘Cause hours seem to disappear when we are together
‘Cause when you're are near, words seem clear,
And I am brought to life, life, life
It's in the way move me darling (it's in the way)
It's in the way you come and go (it's in the way)
It's in the way the colours are drifting
Slowly (it's in the way)
It's in the way, it's in the way (it's in the way)
It's in the way move me darling (it's in the way)
(it's in the way move me darling)
It's in the way you come and go (it's in the way)
(it's in the way you come and go)
It's in the way the colours are drifting
Slowly (it's in the way)
(it's in the way the colours are drifting slowly)
It's in the way, it's in the way (it's in the way)
(it's in the way, it's in the way)
(it's in the way move me darling)
