Heads or Tails?
04:24
|
|||
There's two sides to this coin, and I'm the face that's on the back
You tossed me down into your wishing well, but I fell through the cracks
I just fell right through the cracks
Maybe it's luck of the draw; I took a ticket now I'm waiting at the door
It seems the odds are against us, but no one's counting any more
And who was counting anyway?
I will wait here so patiently
I can see the eyes on the back of your head
I will show myself the way out
And invite you in instead
Heads or tails is the question that's on everybody's minds
I think I'll gamble away my sanity with the roll of the dice
With the roll of the dice
I will wait here so patiently
I can see the eyes on the back of your head
I will show myself the way out
And invite you in instead
And invite you in instead
If life is one big casino
I'm on the pokies at the back
Feeding coins into your open mouth
There's only a few left in my stack
Left in my stack
Left in my stack
Left in my stack

Morning Sun
05:18
|
|||
know you will always mean so much to me
and I'm not sure where my head has been lately
I've been searching round the room for a body by my side
I can remember counting every tear you cried
every tear you cried
the morning sun rises over my head, a new day has come
the morning sun rises over my head, what's done is done
wo wo wo
there is silver and there is gold
there's the bronze memories I'll remember when I'm old
and I see my life turning like the clock beside the fire
there at the bottom swings the pendulum of desire
the pendulum of desire
the morning sun rises over my head, a new day has come
the morning sun rises over my head, what's done is done
wo wo wo
searching brings no answer, waiting brings no change
this is no treasure hunt, no objects to re-arrange
no objects to...
the morning sun, a new day has come
the morning sun, a new day has come
the morning sun, a new day has come

Unknown Girl
04:16
|

they say you've only gotta a few years to have a good time
well I've been around for more and I haven't had mine
there's plenty of women out there, roamin' the streets
plenty of women out there that I'd like to meet
but it's you little baby, you little honey, I wanna find
ooo little darling you know you're on my mind
they say a cat's got nine lives, well I've got ten
and I'll wait another lifetime for my holy woman
she's big and she is strong, she's beautiful
she'll knock you right off your feet and oh you know
it's you little baby, you little honey, I wanna find
ooo little darling you know you're on my mind, all the time
she's so beautiful, with her ruby hair waving in the night
dreams of making love with her scented skin squeezing me so tight
I'm no romeo, I'm no romantic on your soul
but it's you my unknown girl that I wanna hold
all night long
don't you go and give your love away
don't you go and listen to what the other men all say
I was born a free, free man
I'll catch you when I can

Lady Grey
04:30

lady grey, you're all wrapped up in your mother's ways
and don't you know, you're so much better
and before I go to bed, a cup of you will always clear my head
your bergamot scent keeps me, keeps me sane
and through those lazy days, your pale beauty always fills my brain
in such delightful ways that leave me drained
In the week, day dreams of you will haunt my broken sleep
and when they're through, I don't feels so, feel so blue
oh my lady grey, all the others just don't seem to taste the same
I don't even need to explain that there's
a thousand ways I'll miss you when it's time to leave this place
and there's, a thousand ways I'd kiss you in the bedroom,
but I wouldn't say that out loud
oh no no
lady grey, I've been taking sips of your caffeine fruit all day
its innocence is too much to take
and in those evils times, I try to imagine what it would have been like
if I wasn't next to, next to you
oh my lady grey, all the others just don't seem to taste the same
I don't even need to explain that there's
a thousand ways I'll miss you when it's time to leave this place
and there's, a thousand ways I'd kiss you in the bedroom,
but I wouldn't say that out loud
oh no, no

caught alone at midnight again, the ocean talks to me
rocking round on this creaky boat, a sailor lost at sea
cast my nets out each morning
don't know what I'll catch but I know it's for free
there are many lessons to be learnt at sea
it's been a long time since I've been caught in a storm
could just be that time of year
it's been a long time since I've seen my baby dear
I do hope she's thinking of me
the bobbing and the sway makes me smile
and I'll just close my eyes till then
soon a new day will come the sun will rise
from east to west, from east to west
where land abounds I have not found
common ground you know it comes and goes
comes and goes
the horizon is but a mirror of my past
this mirage can't last forever
last forever
it's been a long time since I stepped in the sand
and felt the grains beneath my feet
it's been a long time since I've held my baby's hand
I do hope she's thinking of me
it's been a long time since I've been caught in a storm
could just be that time of year
it's been a long time since I've seen my baby dear
I do hope she's thinking of me
I do hope she's thinking of me

Crack My Mirror
03:39
|

crack my mirror, burn my clothes
take them all to a place where no body knows
cos they're draggin' me down, wasting my time
without them you know, I'll be fine
so take my tele and my money away
and find them a better place to stay
then in the hands of this society
all it does is build our greed so
why should we live in this way
I admit it's pretty hard to let go
but I feel it has gone too far today
it's making me feel so low
why do we care what all these, these people wear
the brands and designs are hot in the air
and I don't wanna be in no nation that thrives
on all of these material minds so
why should we live in this way
I admit it's pretty hard to let go
but I feel it has gone too far today
it's making me feel so low
why should we live in this way
I admit it's pretty hard to let go
but I feel it has gone too far today
it's making me feel so low
oh so low
oh so low
oh so low

A Blind Waltz
04:21
|
|||
blind eye turning on this world and what to do
I couldn't stand it when I saw the truth
I'm saw from war with myself and your company
the corporation's tryin' to crush me
self inflicted harm from four nations cross the globe
they don't know what they want, they don't know where to go
still there lies are all they show
still the world is what they hide
there's a blind eye in your world
and it can't see beyond your self
there's a shadow in all of us
but you just have to believe in love
just have to believe in love
just have to believe in love
distant measure is an hourglass on the sea
dropping grains over time
pain for pleasure is something that I used to need
when I didn't feel so fine
now I'm turning all the time
in a waltz the world will do
there's a crack in the mirror
where you don't wanna look
because your eyes are on the prize
well there's no prize at the end of the race
the only light is right now
the only light is right now
the only light is...
