Back To Square One
03:46
|
|||
Back in the world, the physical world
Back with a vengeance we come
From the flash in the pan into the fire
Shot from a gun
Rising on up through the ashes
Reborn on the run
Starting again, circadian
Back to square one
We're gonna make it
We shall overcome
Launching our rockets
Straight for the sun
With a crash and a bang we'll fight again
Our time will come
Turning over the page on yesterday
Back to square one
We're gonna make it
We shall overcome
Firing our arrows
Straight for the sun
Back in the world, the physical world
Back with a vengeance we come
Starting again, circadian
Back to square one

Alamein Line
03:08
|
|||
Sun sets over the junction
Make it across town at her behest
Take your time honey, there’s no need to hurry on over
Lost in sweet locomotion
Take me to the place that’s the best
I’ll tell you everything I can’t admit when I’m sober
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
She’s the queen of innuendo
Waiting by her bay window
Up and down the grove and suddenly the mood gets stronger
She tells me Deepdene’s a deep scene
Falling out of step with the jet set
ETA baby, are you gonna keep me waiting much longer?
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Ah Alamein Line, Alamein Line
Ah Alamein Line, Alamein Line, Alamein Line, Alamein
Stumbling onto the concourse
How did I end up in Whitehorse?
Help me out baby, got a super bad sense of direction
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time

Jacaranda
02:52
|
|||
I need to remind myself
Of all that I know to be true
Timing has never been my friend
For out with the old and in with the new
I need to align myself
Before I am lost in the maze
Souvenirs up on a dusty shelf remind me of the halcyon days
Rise with me from the aftermath
Walk with me down the golden path
Come unto me jacaranda
I never walked your way
When you were beginning to bloom
All the time I was being lead astray
Through crowded streets and waiting rooms
I need to remind myself
You won't stick around for too long
When the summer sings farewell
Will you be riding into the sun?
Rise with me from the aftermath
Walk with me down the golden path
It's our season, jacaranda
I need to remind myself
Of all that I know to be true
I need to remind myself
Of all that I know to be true
Ride the waves of vibrancy
To the shores of reality
Seize the moment, Jacaranda
Rise with me from the aftermath
Walk with me down the golden path
See you shining, Jacaranda
Come unto me, Jacaranda

Pacific Coast Highway
03:46
|
|||
We rode the sun swept highway all summer long
Canyon to coast, valley down to the shoals
Though we knew what we were doing was wrong
No reproach could mould our gentle minds
And what else could a poor boy do?
Eyes were always stuck on you
Don't ask me if it's better against the tide
For you remain my first concern
Some things you just never learn
Don't try to understand or justify.
I thought I lost you in enchanted hills
When darkness fell upon the church of San Miguel
In the maelstrom one sure moment of still
The sweet kiss of death when we were at our best
But what more could a poor boy do?
Eyes were always stuck on you
Don't ask me if it's better against the tide
For you remain my sole concern
Some things you just never learn
Don't try to understand or justify.
And oh the days are long
But memories creep into my mind and keep me hanging on
Your ship has sailed afar into the sunset
And Pacific Ocean waves, I'm here where I belong.
And what else could a poor boy do?
Eyes were always stuck on you
Don't tell me it get's easier in time
But if time is what you really need
Baby who am I to impede?
I will do what's right,
And set your spirit free, from me.

Everything Is Strange
02:44
|
|||
People look up at the sky
Watch the dark clouds float by
They pray for rain but hope that they stay dry
People drink themselves insane
And give their children funny names
They're in the know but the first ones to complain
That it's slow.
And there's no logic in change
Question everything
Everything is strange
People look across the seas
Feel the chill of the ocean breeze
They've reached the coast but now they want the trees
People talk themselves inane
Their empty words don't mean a thing
They're on the move but happy to explain
That it's slow.
And there's no logic in change
Question everything
Everything is strange
Yes it's slow.
And there's no logic in change
Question everything
Everything is strange

Inside and Out
03:33
|

You'll be fine, give it patience and time
She said no, no, no
Don't you shout, we can work it all out
She said no, no, no
We'll make it through the night
You don't have to explain
What you were trying to say
When you were trying to tell me
Black is what you're feeling inside and out
You were trying to tell me
Black is what you're feeling inside and out
We can drive across the borderline
You said no, no, no
I'll stick around through the ups and the downs,
You said no, no, no
When the rips they pull you under
Though I can't understand the pain
Please don't push me away
When you were trying to tell me
Black is what you're feeling inside and out
You were trying to tell me
Black is what you're feeling inside and out
You were trying to tell me
Black is what you're feeling inside and out
You were trying to tell me
Black is what you're feeling inside and out

Trade War
03:18
|
|||
We’re starting a trade war
We’re gonna get what we paid for
Keep the economy stable
Coz this deal’s off the table
Leaders of men they all fear me
In stadiums they all cheer me
I get my way oh one way or another
Excuse me
Listen boys up the back
Here’s our plan of attack
Learn the rules of the age-old game
Rip it up, burn it down
Put the boots on the ground
We will bow to the king of pain
Have we reached rock bottom?
We’re starting a trade war
Keep your eye on the stage door
Every sinner’s a saviour
Never mind their behaviour
A time to be outspoken
To keep our promises broken
There’s no reason to change what has always worked for us
Listen boys up the back
Here’s our plan of attack
Learn the rules of the age-old game
Rip it up, burn it down
Put the boots on the ground
We will bow to the king of pain
Have we reached rock bottom?
Listen boys up the back
Here’s our plan of attack
Learn the rules of the age-old game
Rip it up, burn it down
Put the boots on the ground
We will bow to the king of pain
No I won’t shake your hand ‘til you meet our demands
Back it up, pack it up and go!
There’s a line, pick a side, as we drift to the right
Back it up, pack it up, let’s go
Have we reached rock bottom?

Counting Down the Days
03:26
|
|||
Let it be known
We have reached the fork in the road
Spending all of our prime
Trading money for time
Searching for substance
Got to believe in something that’s real
Seizing the moment
Whatever will the future reveal?
Though the earth is strong
All we know will soon be gone
We’re counting down the days
We know that we can’t carry on
Let it be clear
That we don’t need panic or fear
But late is the hour
So the time for action is now
For a love that’s worth saving
Or do we long for what we once had?
If history is in the making
You hold it all in the palm of your hand
Though the earth is strong
All we know will soon be gone
We’re counting down the days
We know that we can’t carry on

The Velvet Affair
04:13
|

Here there, the velvet affair
Dreams are back in style
Fill my heart with hope if only for a little while
Near, far, wherever you are
Please return to me
Let me give you all my love throughout eternity
Let me hear your gentle sigh
Fall together and gaze at the sky
Feel the sunshine and see the love in your eyes
Care, care, I wish you would care
See to a reply
Fill my heart with hope if only for a little while
Near, far, wherever you are
Please return again
Take me for a ride once more and
Let me be your friend
Fall into my yearning arms
Tempt me with your alluring charms
Meet at midnight and make love under the stars
Care, care the velvet affair

The House of Love

LYRICS:
I used to stay in on weekends yeah
I used to dance alone
Calling all my northside friends ‘til
They all switched off their phones
Searching for a new hotspot
I came across this soulful shack
With a boogie out in the front bar
And all the rock and rollers stomping out the back
At The House of Love
At The House of Love
Follow down the dive strip
The funky pied piper will lead the way
The doors are always open
You can call it home anytime of the day
We could Soul a Go-Go
Maybe even risk it at The Toff
But if you’ve lost that mojo baby
You can find it at the house of love
At The House of Love
At The House of Love
Let me take you southside baby
Where the party makers go
Everybody’s welcome here
At the happiest place we know
It’s a place for romance
Hot chance the dancefloor comes alive
So leave your friends at the Windsor end
Coz you’ve found a better dive
The DJ plays the sisters
Singin’ “you can ring my bell” all night
Smiling faces all around
Under the spinning disco light
You won’t find another like it
You won’t find a groovier scene
And it’s no secret that all the funky people
Are raving if you know what I mean
So if you love the backbeat breaks
And want to take it to the top
The doors are always open here
Where the good times never stop
At The House of Love
At The House of Love
Let me take you southside baby
Where the party makers go
Everybody’s welcome here
At the happiest place we know

Look No Further
03:27
|

Look no further
It’s appeared before your eyes
The search is over
It’s the ultimate surprise
Looking for closure
Tired of running around
No need to worry about it now
Look no further
It's right here before your eyes
It’s now or never
It’s the ultimate disguise
Holding you closer
When no-one else can be found
This is the moment here and now
The search is over
The search is over
Look no further
Look no further

Worthwhile
04:17
|
|||
I’ve been living in fantasy
A life of infinite rhapsody
Out on my own where I’m wild and free
No choices to make, threw my chances away
I’ve been thinking about friends of mine
Breaking out of the paradigm
I’d like to join them if I could find the time
But there’ll be no regret, I’m not leaving you yet
Looking back won’t change nothing baby
Begging you “please”, it’s just not my style
I’m broke, despondent and loveless
But it was all worthwhile
I’ve been burning the candle bright
Crystal clear in the deep dead of night
Could’ve pushed harder if I felt it was right
But I sure did indulge, this I must divulge
So, perfection is an endless dream
Introspection is a dangerous thing
Please don’t forget me while I’m in between
I’ve made my own bed; I’ll sleep when I’m dead
Looking back won’t change nothing baby
Begging you “please”, it’s just not my style
I’m burnt out, wretched and jaundiced
But it was all worthwhile
We used to stay out all night
Making plans for a world we’d be living in now
Well time has changed us for better
But it was all worthwhile
Looking back won’t re-write the story
Drifting away on the winds of time
I’m broke, naïve and distorted
But it was all worthwhile

All of My Dreams
03:00
|
|||
All of my dreams blowing away in the breeze
All that I have are the sweet memories
“It won’t be long ‘til you come crawling home”
That’s what they’d all say
Watching my youth fading away, incomplete
Dragging me under in a whirlpool of defeat
An innocence surrendered to the night
The games we’d all play
All of my dreams running away down the track
The carnival is over, now there is no turning back
Never change, don’t compromise
Some things will always be
