There was a girl
There was a ride
There was a love, you could not buy
A love of FREEDOM
Love of the road
Where that long white line is ALWAYS taking you home
Introducing Ms Charlie Cale
Big muscle car, size of a whale
She had some rules; they were kinds clear
The first one was GET ME OUTTA HERE!
Dumb luck, can take you farther
Dumb Luck – than you might have bargained
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there…
A really important rule, Ms Charlie broke
Was one we could all learn from - Before we croak
The rule was – no second locations
Do not broadcast from a distant station!
But Charlie broke, her own rules
Mostly by fault of just playing it cool
And like us all – this life can DEAL
and we find ourselves calling BULLSHIT from behind the wheel cuz!
Dumb luck, can take you farther
Dumb Luck – than you might have bargained
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there…
Oh Pokerface, your my inspiration
And I really like pancakes with maple and bacon mmm
My Americana passion only grows more deep
since I saw you cruising by in your COOL BLUE HEAP
Cuz us single women out there- living life on the road
We need a hero – yeah? - we need somewhere to go!
The sun will shine and we will FEEL
The joy of cruising Highway Nine our hands upon the WHEEL cuz…
Dumb luck, can take you farther
Dumb Luck – than you might have bargained
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there…
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there
You Know it!
Dumb luck, can take you farther
Dumb Luck – than you might have bargained
Dumb Luck can take you all the way there
One More Time for the road!!
Dumb luck, can take you farther
Dumb Luck – than you might have bargained
Dumb Luck can take you ALL the way there…

Times and long-lost loves – that we’ve both been draggin around well…
Nothin’ making sense yet – til you come around…
All the ways we loved then - raised to the ground
Oh oh-oh..

A simple love that’s oh so true
Ooh – ooh!

Oooh… I’ll be wandering over… like moths t’wards the flame
Hell could be freezing over - until you call my name…
Ooh – ooh!

I’m going to love in all these painful ways…
I used to think our love affair – was finally coming true

I used to think our love affair would last for ever more
But now it’s left me crying on the floor…

Yes, now you’ve broken, my heart wide open

Trying to find my way out…

Smoke and Mirrors
04:34
|
|||
In cowboy songs, … ‘bout days gone by
Rhinestones glittering – twinkling in their eyes
The Disco days with their smokey haze
Of rainbows and glitter drops
From a coke blood-nose to the panty hose
of sixties solid-gold
The bobby-soxers with their record boxers
Never heard a sweeter joy to behold
But the, the shaking lights
They - shine so bright
Falling on the hair spray – of maybe baby – love shines
Doesn’t matter how you paint it
Doesn’t matter what you say
It’s just smoke and mirrors
Smoke and mirrors – welcome to the music game
Well the Music biz is a real sick fizz - and it’s always bin that way
From the crossroad stare – to the jungle room lair
The deals fell down that way
For a mighty prize – in someone’s eyes
Feeds the furnace of the ego
So the roulette wheel gets spun, spun again – cuz that’s the way the deals go…
And the…
The shaking lights they, shine so bright
Falling on the hair spray – of maybe baby – love … shines
Doesn’t matter how you paint it
Cuz it’s always up the same
It’s just smoke and mirrors
Smoke and mirrors – welcome to…
The music game
Music game – it’s just the same
You gotta spin the wheel
Take the deal, make the deal, take the deal
It’s the only one on the table today
Don’t let it slide away…
Cuz you’re in it – til your gone
Through the sickness, and the pain
And you’ll try n try n try n try….
Oooh – ooh ooh…
And the, shinning lights they…
Burn so bright
Falling on the hair spray – of maybe baby – love shines
This time we’ll hit out a big one
But it’s always up the same – it’s just smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors…
Welcome to the music…
The music game it’s, just the same – spin the wheel, make the deal
Just the same as yesterday it’s
All the way we, make the day – gotta spin the wheel, take the deal it’s all the…
Same…
Music game
Music game..
Shine away...

The Truth
04:07
|

You said I was your lady
I thought you were my man
When you need me I come running
Just as fast as I can
And when you’re strung out in the dark old night
My arms were there to hold you there to squeeze you tight
The very next day you never call me up
And now you’re cruising round in your pick-up truck…
We-hell now – who – who! You never tell me the truth yeah – no!
We-hell now – you – you! - never tell me the truth
I hear that you bin hangin’ – at the bar up the road
You’re chasing all the young girls – you do better to ignore
You used to bring my candy, drive me round the town,
All you doin’ these days is bang me on the ground
Sliding up the window, stealthy as a cat – rollin’ up behind me can’t say no to that!
We-hell now – you! - never tell me the truth yeah – no!
Uh huh now you –never tell me the truth…
Eight bars – I been out a drinkin
Eight bars –definitely not thinking
Eight bars – reeling and a rocking
I’m out with the BOYS!
A few days later
I hear a knocking on my door
There’s a blue light flashing
That I’m trying to ignore
You’re sliding up the window, quietly out the back
Rolling up behind me now I can’t say no to that..
The bad in you has got the good in me
And now I’m fighting hard for my liberty!
We-hell now – who!?
Who cares about the truth – yeah – no – uh-huh no – who?
Who cares about the truth – yeah – no – uh-huh no – who?
Oh ho yeah YOU – you better tell me the truth yeah – huh –
Uh huh now you – you better tell me the truth…
I know I’m your lady and that you’re my man.
I’m gonna give you lovin’ just as much as I can…
We-hell now – who!?
Who cares about the truth – yeah – no – uh-huh no – who?
Who cares about the truth – yeah – no – uh-huh no – who?
We-hell yeah – who!?
Who cares about the truth – yeah – no – uh-huh no – who?
Who cares about the truth – yeah – no – uh-huh no – who?

Gonna give you loving

If only… you - could be the one that I saw
If only you - could feel the way that I adore
All I ever wanted and all I ever knew
You would be the one - You would love me too
But I never wanted, the things that I do
Still all I see is you…
If only you be the one that I saw
If only you could feel the way that I adore
All I ever wanted and all I ever knew
You would be the one
You would love me too
But you never wanted, the things I still do
But all I see is you.
All I thought I wanted seemed close by my side – I’m all torn to pieces – so broken inside
I’m falling, I’m calling, I’m reaching for you
You’re turning and leaving me so black and blue
But I never wanted the things that you do
Still all I see is you…
But you never wanted, the things I still do
Yet all I see is you
All I see is you…

Imaginary Butterflies
03:40
|
|||
Oooh…. Ooooh….
I was crossing the street at Maroubra Junction
Rushing this way and that
On the other side of the four-way crossing
A girl on a milk crate smiled
She said to me:
“Didn’t you see; the giant butterfly over your head?”
It swooped right down as you crossed the road
and kissed you on top of your head!”
And I said:
No, no I couldn’t see – from me – I said no, I just could not see - from me…
The butterflies, of hopes and dreams, weaving magic, on airstreams, catch the breeze as they come to you, and maybe your dreams will all come true
Imaginary butterflies, they flying around your head and mine
Imaginary butterflies, they weaving luck right through our lives,
Imaginary butterflies – of our dreams
Oooh - oooh oooh oooh – ooh ooh ooh ooh of our dreams…
I’ll think of her when my day’s gone bad
That shining moment that we shared
Where love and hope doubled from the start
The butterfly wings holding our two hearts
Imaginary butterflies, they flying around your head and mine
Imaginary butterflies, they weaving luck - right through our lives,
But I said:
No, no I couldn’t see – from me – I said no, I just could not see - from me…
the butterflies of hopes and dreams weaving magic on airstreams
Catch the breeze as it comes to you and maybe their magic will all come true
Imaginary butterflies, they flying around your head and mine
Imaginary butterflies, they weaving luck right through our lives,
Imaginary butterflies… of our dreams ––oooh oooh oooh …
You will see they were meant to be
imaginary butterflies of our dreams
