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...

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.

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)
