Lyrics
Working Man
I will be a working man, Live my life upon this land
Proud I stand - a working man
At night I dream of waterfalls, Deep lagoons and pine trees tall
Where painted ships adorn the waves. Whispers sound from empty caves
I will be a working man, Live my life upon this land
Proud I stand - A working man
Oh I’m a working man, Oh I’m a working man
live my life upon this land, Play by day an honest hand
Proud I stand - a working man
At night I see a lighthouse shine, Beacons dancing warning signs
Her light will guide us safely home, Upon the waves of time we roam
I will be a working man, live my life upon this land
Proud I stand a working man
At night I walk on distant shores, Through other Worlds my dreams explore
Where people touch with healing hands, And peace prevails throughout the land
I will be a working man, live my life upon this land
Proud I stand a working man
Lyrics
Home
Travelin down an empty road, Burden halved, share my load
People come people go as we roam, Need somewhere I call home
I lost you down the line, Tell everybody, I’m feeling fine
I might smile, but sometimes I’m so alone, Need somewhere I call home
Things aint bad, could be worse, I need love to quench my thirst
Torn & twisted, left stranded on the road, Need somewhere I call home
Chorus
I’ve never been this far before
Now the horse has gone & bolted from the stable door
I’m left here, on my own
Far away, from the place, I called home
The whiskey tells me I’m brand new, Keeps me sedated while I think of you
Morning comes reawakes my jaded soul, Far away from the place, I call home
Lyrics
Answerphone Song
There’s a place that exists outside of the soul
A place where shadows roam
There’s a voice that exists for you on your own
A voice that guides you along
There’s someone watching over you
No matter what you do
Through rain hail & snow, No matter where you go Will always be with you.
Some say it’s fate, & some say it’s God
Some say, it’s the spirits high above
Some say so much - they say - nothing at all
Some folks just wait around - for the call
Sometimes you reach out, seems nobody there
You feel stranded & so alone
You need a voice to guide you home
Not a message on the answer phone
Sometimes it’s tough, & sometimes it’s hard
Sometimes you forget who you are
Remember a place, that exists in your heart
Only love can heal the scars
Lyrics
Will You Ever Learn
Where are you going, dressed like that
That’s a question, you’re parents ask
You’ll catch a cold, going out like that, will you ever learn
Can’t pick you’re family can’t choose you’re friends
Can’t save money, you have to spend
Make the same mistakes, time & time again, will you ever learn
CHORUS
Groundhog day when the morning comes
Deja vu under the same old sun
Can’t make you’re mind up, to be or still to come,
Will you ever learn
Chose to walk, you should’ve run
To late to shelter now the rain has come
You left you’re coat behind, you shouldn’t have done
Will you ever learn
You never listen to the good advice
You know better, your always right
I think you’ve missed the point, yeah, once or twice, will you ever learn
CHORUS
Time to wake up before noon has come
Get off you’re arse, there’s work to be done
The early bird, always catches the worm, will you ever learn
Regrets & burdens, gotta live with them
Gonna need broad shoulder to carry them
Remember these pearls of wisdom son, will you ever learn
CHORUS
Should have listened to the older folks
Like you once, they were young & broke
You try and tell em, that they’re the joke, will you ever learn
One more thing before you die
Take your chances as the years role by
Don’t look a gift horse in the eye, will you ever learn
Lyrics
TOWN THAT I LOVE
Walking the pavement, my heads feeling tight
Dark clouds are closing, I start to lose sight
Move faster as I head for the Town I know it’s to late
I’ll be drenched like a clown, like a clown
The sky breaking clouds it’s pissing down rain
The cats & the dogs play a tune in my brain
Where do you go when you’re feeling so bad
Nothing changes round here, makes a sad man feel sad in the rain
The acids affecting my brain, running around in the rain
Chorus
We said, Why, why, why, why, Why do we cry
The sky is in tears water pours from his eyes x2
Enter the High street it all looks the same
Got the geeks on the corner got the gonk doing the same
The shopping bag ladies talking so nice
The gossip, the scandal, the trouble & strife it’s a shame
Cars double parked, it’s the everyday scene
Double yellow abused, traffic warden looks mean
Prams & buggies run over your toes
The rain runs down the point of your nose in the rain
The acids affecting my brain, running around in the rain
The local supermarket gives shelter for now
Playing dodgems with the trolley, you follow the crowds
The music’s no good so I head for the door
It’s back to rain, I’m bound for once more it’s a shame
The local alkies are wet there Carlsberg’s are dry
An old lady brolly nearly pokes out my eye
People pass you with a push & a shove
It’s great to be home in the town that I love x4
Lyrics
IT’S SUMMERTIME It’s wake up time, this day is fine It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you The days go on it wont take long It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you See the sun rise high above the rooftops to the sky It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you Sit outside drinking ice cold beer It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you As the days go on it wont take long We all sing until the sky turns blue The music’s loud come and join our crowd We just sing till the sunshine passes through The days go on, it wont take long We all sing until the sky turns blue Guitars play loud for the party crowd And we all sing till the sunshine passes through It’s Barbie time drinking cool red wine It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you The sirloins fry and smoke gets in you’re eyes It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you It’s Summertime, it’s waiting there for you
Lyrics
SHOW ME THE WAY
At the mercy of the Ocean
Adrift a thousand souls
Speak to me - I’m coming home
Underneath an Astral skyline
Where ghosts of many roam
Speak to me - I’m coming home
Keep the home fires burning
The Northern lights still glow
Keep the lights on, Show me the way to go home
The oil fields blink and flicker
Through the afterglow
Speak to me - I’m coming home
The white horses arising
Through the cold spray and the foam
Speak to me - I’m coming home
The shadows slowly drifting
As King Neptune calls the show
Speak to me - I’m coming home
I feel small and I feel helpless
A force we can't control
Speak to me - I’m coming home
The sky is miles above me
The Ocean beds a thousand fathoms below
Speak to me - I’m coming home
The winds that whisper around me
Carry voices of many lost souls
Speak to me - I’m coming home
Lyrics
OH LITTLE TOWN Oh little town I know so well, I saw you standing there Draped in all your sparkling lights, A Christmas spell fills the air It's been a while since I saw you're smile, You haven't changed that much I travelled far to be with you, I longed for your familiar touch I walked these streets in the early hours, They once belonged to me Think of the nights that we'd meet up, And dreamed of all that we could be A stranger now in my hometown, Once a spirit wild and free People come and people go, And drift away like the sea I believe in you believe in me x2 Now gather round this Christmas tree, And sing a song with me It doesn't have to say that much, I need your company We'll raise a glass to the future and the past, And recall a happy memory It's one for the road and one for the ditch, and one for the spirits in the breeze I believe in you believe in me x2 Oh Little Town I know so well, I saw you standing there
Lyrics
SHIPWRECKED
I’m lost, in the fog, In the sea
I’m the light, In the dark, You can't see
It's hard to fight, When you're empty
I feel helpless, I cant save you, can you save me
I’m a father, I'm a son, I’m a friend
I’m a man, Who stands tall, I get there in the end
At night all alone with my thoughts
I’m a ship, Broken up on the rocks
Oh take me home, Oh I'm so alone
I'm a bird in the sky, hear my call
Then I crash to a stop, the waves break my fall
My eyes are shut, but I dont sleep
As thousands are lost in the floods I'm unable to weap
CHORUS
I keep waiting
For, spiritual awakening
Our World, keeps on turning
When all around, buildings burning
I cry! Oh Lord! but no one listening
I’m sand on a beach, A fish in a pond
With so many Gods In our world
Surely one can respond.
Lyrics
SINNERS & DREAMERS
Listen all you sinners, as we gather here today
There’s something I must offer you
Got something I must say
I try to walk the straight line but keep moving from it fast
I've gotta learn from my mistakes misgivings from the past
Oh I must do, what I’ve to do, what I will do today
Oh I must do, what I will to do today
Too much beer and whisky, temptation in the way
Wine & women, song & dance, I threw my life away
Making up for lost time I got married along the way
Gotta learn from my mistakes that’s what I must do today
Tell me, what did you envisage
For your future when you were young?
I became a joiner, because I’m a joiners son
Could have been a Lawyer, Doctor or artist if I could paint
If my Dad were a minister then I’d have been a Saint
Again I stand before you, got something else to say
Set out to grow old gracefully, got hi-jacked along the way
Taken hostage by society but the music set me free
Come you sinners come you dreamer
Come and dream along with me
