I Saw It All
04:18
|

I saw it, I saw it all
Secret eyes, broken smile
Promises of more
I saw it all
We fought it, we fought it hard
Ravaged hearts, wasted time
Falling so far
We fought it hard
Maybe it’s an illusion
For two lonely souls
Shore’s not so distant
Home’s never felt this close
We bought it, we bought it all
Dancing lights, naked highs
Riding the storm
We bought it all
Say it ain't an illusion
For two lonely souls
Shore’s not so distant
Home’s never been this close
I saw it, I saw it all
Secret eyes, broken smile
Promises of more
I saw it all

Time Is An Arrow
04:43
|

Time is an arrow
That’s what I believe
But some things keep repeating
Psychopathic killers
Bred to deceive
Same suit different face
Our lives to defend
Flowers in the morning breeze
But even plastic roses
Will prick you in the end
Stay fast my friends
Hang tight
If we can stick together
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
Crouching in the bunker
Hidden out of sight
Soldiers prowl the avenues
Sycophantic lovers
Creeping through the night
Stay fast my friends
Hang tight
If we can stick together
We will be alright
We’ll be alright
Time, time we wax sublime
One more exhibit on the picket line
But we enter the gateway conscious turn-style
See what it is raw bloody and wild
Pure and naked satiated
The world dictated what was created
Society of savage nonchalance
Dim denial their immune response
Don't look at me with those sugar coated eyes
See your talons through your thin disguise
You are just like me a billion years to evolve
I'm just like you when I've got no soul
Time is come the die is cast
Its coming at you deadly deadly fast
I see you face down on the ground tonight
Flashing red and blue in the flickering light
Give a cop a gun there's a price to pay
Another brother lost in the world today
And it's all it's just a matter of time
Stay fast my friends
Hang tight
If we can stick together
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
Time is an arrow
Taken through the heart
So hold it close in your quiver
Find out what is real
Or perish in the dark
Stay fast my friends
Hang tight
If we can stick together
We will be alright
Stay fast my friends
Hang tight
If we can stick together
We'll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
You know we'll be alright

Don't You Dare
04:08
|
|||
Waves slap on the shore
Your breathing rises and falls in time
I came when you called
I could hear your desperation
Oh I would crawl
Over broken glass
Torn and bruised
To get to you
So don’t you dare
Break my heart
We’ve come too far
Hurt too much
I lost track of time
Forgot where the light comes in
You never made it clear
You were looking for absolution
(Don’t you know that) I would crawl
Over broken glass
Torn and bruised
To get to you
So don’t you dare
Break my heart
We’ve come too far
Hurt too much

I Walk With You
02:49
|
|||
History gone swept away
Humiliation everyday
We cannot go unreconciled
Living like this a racist child
I walk with you
I walk with you
Dark in heart time connection
Dying in jail for generations
Burden of shame wherever we are
Diminished world, a blistering scar
I walk with you
I walk with you
I I walk with you
Land and spirit dust and sand
Brutal truth it's time to stand
Wisdom held hidden depth
Beautiful heart inner strength
I walk with you
I walk with you
Adam Goodes vilified
Naked prejudice can't dignify
The truth is dark we cannot see
Blinded still we continue to bleed
I walk with you
I walk with you
I I walk with you

Stranger On The Bridge
05:02
|
|||
Come back from the edge
Said the stranger on the bridge
I’ve stood where you stand
And wondered if I could
I’ve listened to the wind
And heard the flowing water
I want to hear your story
Before you take that final step
And maybe we could
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
You’ve got something to give
Said the Stranger on the Bridge
The devil in my head
Throws my understanding
It tells me how to live
And where I should be running
You know I found a dark place
Sectioned in my hospital bed
I know I need to talk
But I can’t say how
But if we could
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
I’ve got something to give
Like the Stranger on the Bridge
I wander through the night
Thinking about tomorrow
It seems such a thin wire
To always be balanced on
You're never far away
Perpetually a soldier
Always near the edge
Needing a Stranger on the Bridge
And if we can
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
You’ve got something to give
Yes if you can
Find some common ground
Have the conversation
Take a dose of hope
You’ve got something to give
Like the Stranger on the Bridge

Stay With Me Girl
05:10
|
|||
The sweet smell of tobacco
Floating down the spur
The bitter blues and the bloody reds
They stay with me girl
The light can rage before us
The ocean it can start to swell
We are only lovers
Stay with me girl
Stay with me girl
Stay with me girl
Let the sky crash around us
The earth it will endure
Let the birds be silent
Stay with me girl
Haunting and confounding
Undefined and pure
There will be no other
Stay with me girl
Stay with me girl
Stay with me girl
The love we take with us
The decisions on which we dwell
Hold us hostage forever
They stay with us girl
See the rider in the distance
He’s coming for you
Silhouette in the dying light
Stay with me girl
Silhouette in the dying light
Stay with me girl
Stay
Oh Stay
Stay with me girl
Stay with me girl
Stay with me girl
Stay

Insomnia
04:46
|
|||
I want to sleep I want to dream
Cos right now that’s the best place I could be
I walk to your house, alone in the drive
The light from the street lamps burns into my eyes
Insomnia
Gripping my head
Insomnia
Making me feel like I don’t know the difference between your arms and hell
Your arms and hell
I know these streets but they seem so strange
The signs are all there but the words are rearranged
I look to the sky I don’t know why
Ain't nothing up there but this dirty unmade night
Insomnia
Gripping my head
Insomnia
Making me feel like I don’t know the difference between your arms and hell
Your arms and hell
So many thoughts staring at my innocence
Too many memories dragging me down this dead end alleyway
Insomnia
Gripping my head
Insomnia
Making me feel like I don’t know the difference between your arms and hell
Your arms and hell
Insomnia,
Gripping my head
Insomnia
Making me feel like I don’t know the difference between your arms and hell
Your arms and hell

Float Me A Tepee
03:56
|
|||
It’s raining down hard
You know it’s so hard
And I’m doing it like so many are having to do
The wind in my face
It hits me so cold
And I’ve just been told that my rent is due
But I’ve got a solution now and bit by bit
Degree by degree
I'm gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
There’s something so good
When you’re swimming upstream
But you get to the place that you need to be
Spit in life’s eye
And don’t back down
Cos you know that the bastards won’t let you be free
And I got to tell you that bit by bit
Degree by degree
I'm gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
When the world is so bleak
And you know it won’t turn
And you see that the truth is dirty and stained
It’s never all lost
There’s always some way
You don’t have to be the one wrapped in chains
Cos I know you know that
Bit by bit
Degree by degree
You can always float a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee
Gonna float me
Gonna float me
Gonna float me a tepee

Sweet Tunes
02:54
|
|||
Sweet tunes rippling around my head
Breaking free of the wild empty shadows
A fierce heart can take you all the way home
If that’s where you really need to go
Nothing can make me walk this earthly fire
Nothing can steal these memories
Nothing can faze me when I make it to your door
Nothing, nothing at all
Good times shine like light through a prism
Flickering colours from the dark
A warm smile can get you all the way through
When nothing else will really do
Nothing can make me walk this earthly fire
Nothing can steal these memories
Nothing can faze me when I make it to your door
Oh nothing, nothing at all
If you can feel the breeze
But cannot change the scene
Then maybe it's time to haul in the line
And sail to where you really want to be
Where you really want to be
Sweet tunes rippling around my head
Breaking free of the wild empty shadows
A fierce heart can take you all the way home
If that’s where you really need to go
Nothing can make me walk this earthly fire
Nothing can steal these memories
Nothing can faze me when I make it to your door
Oh nothing, nothing at all
Nothing can make me walk this earthly fire
Nothing can steal these memories
Nothing can faze me when I make it to your door
Oh nothing, nothing at all

Lily Of The Valley
03:41
|
|||
Well I heard you called me Lily of the Valley
Easy to look at
Poison to touch
Oh, maybe you think the devil was going to break me
Maybe you just want me too much
Ooh ooh ooh
Baby you just want me too much
I remember you from down in the Valley
Being where you weren't supposed to be
Oh, maybe you think the light would not find you
Babe I've gotta tell you that ain't true
Ooh ooh ooh
Babe I gotta tell you that ain't true
I ain't going back
No I ain't 'going back
You’re secret stays
You’re secret stays with me
Well I ain't going back
No I ain't 'going back
You’re secret stays
You’re secret stays with me
I heard you called me Lily of the Valley

Summer Sun
02:40
|
|||
I know I’m gonna see you again
and I know that one day this time will end
But for now I’m going to sit here in this summer sun and hope not much has changed
As so much is said and done
Its as clear as the setting sun
When my words don’t seem to capture all I feel inside you’ll never leave my heart
So I’ll put some time aside
Let’s do whatever that we like oh yeah
This time I feel I’m on the last train home but the weight feels fine
I don’t know how to tell it to you
As so much time has gone by
But I know what I feel and when the time is right I’ll give myself all to you
I sit here on the floor
these days are different than before
As memories fade I miss the older days but for me the change is fine
Now I’m back here in my hometown
Walking through the door of my family home
It feels the same nothing ever seems to change and I feel happy here
I move so fast these days
as more of life gets in the way
This city life makes me grow so tired but I’ll be good here for a while

Roll With The Waves
04:25
|
|||
I’ve been sailing for so many years
At the mercy of the sea
So pleased to light on these shores
So strange to find you here
Isn’t it so very unusual?
These battles that we fight
Dying half a world away
From my bridge it don’t seem right
But we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
We are both commanders of science
Seafaring naturalists
Twisting away through uncharted waters
Through channels of time do we drift
The animals and plants we collect
Lie still in the hold
We wonder at their strange eerie beauty
And the stories that we stole
But we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
And her memory is clear to me now
All through the spray and the mist of time
I know I’ll never see her again
But that’s the life of a sailing man
And we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
Only you and I really know
The power of these waves
The beauty of the dark horizon
The majesty of sail
Enduring all the anguished cries
Of this strange wary coast
We might be the most bitter of enemies
But the devil takes us both
And we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
Yes we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
