Back On My Feet

Some days, Some days get me down
Feeling, feeling like I’m losing grip
Losing life. Los-ing sight of who I am
Your love held me together
Your love held me through that day.
Your eyes saw me down and out
Your voice said “not today”
Your love for me put me back on my feet
You are, you are there for me
Watching, watching that I don’t stay down.
Staying close. Staying where I can see you.
Your love held me together
Your love held me through that day.
Your eyes saw me down and out
Your voice said “not today”
Your love for me put me back on my feet
Your love for me put me back on my feet
I go forward, You got my back
I go forward, You got my back
I go forward, You got my back
Your love held me together
Your love held me through that day.
Your eyes saw me down and out
Your voice said “not today”
Your love for me put me back on my feet
Your love for me put me back on my feet
Your love for me put me back on my feet
Your love…
Your love…
Your love…
Your love for me put me back on my feet

Mallee Road
03:28

|
Leaving all of the big trees behind me.
Open land is what I need.
More sun, more stars more love beside me
Mallee Road set me free.
Windows down.
Four hours; the hills are finally gone.
Paul’s done all the dumb things,
but I’m on my way home.
Leaving all of the big trees behind me.
Open land is what I need.
More sun, more stars more love beside me
Mallee Road set me free.
Rising Star.
Steady sound of my wheels along the road.
Jolene won’t take this man.
My heart is coming home.
Leaving all of the big trees behind me.
Open land is what I need.
More sun, more stars more love beside me
Mallee Road set me free
Must be close; horizon like the open sea.
Endless road stretches further behind me.
Set me free
Leaving all of those big trees behind me
Open land is what I need.
More sun, more
stars more love beside me
Mallee Road
Leaving all of those big trees
Open land is what I need.
More sun, more stars
Mallee Road
More sun, more stars more love beside me
Mallee Road,
MalleeRoad,
Mallee Road set me free.

Yesterday's Makeup
04:28
|
|||
|
Noise from the upstairs neighbours made her open her eyes.
Sunlight through the tear in the curtain told her it was close to noon.
She felt around to find out if her lover still lay there.
Empty sheets was relief to her.
Two missed calls and a string of late-night texts -
She wasn’t gonna bother getting back to them.
Just another bridge to burn. Nothing gained, nothing lost.
There’s always someone else to pass time with.
Getting through a Sunday in Yesterday’s Makeup.
Ponytail to hide her dirty hair.
Cold pizza and black coffee ‘cause there’s never any milk.
And maybe if she’s lucky she can find a cigarette.
It was an easy but a hard road getting here.
Grew up too fast with undeveloped parents.
Staying in and loyal was the key to survive.
Swapping favours was the currency of life.
Getting through a Sunday in Yesterday’s Makeup.
TV’s on to make her feel alive.
Cold pizza and black coffee ‘cause there’s never any milk.
Her lighter’s gone. She turns the hotplate on to light her cigarette.
Stubs out her cigarette in a dead pot plant.
It was one of those ones you’re not supposed to be able to kill.
She’d bought it hoping it would be a symbol of change.
It died alongside any hope of getting on her feet.
Getting through a Sunday in Yesterday’s Makeup.
Picking at the polish on her nails.
Maybe later she will go out and see what’s going on.
If only to the servo for milk and cigarettes.

Don’t know where to put myself. Can’t sit still Can’t sit still.
Looking for a way to feel a bit better. Can’t sit still.
Wanna eat. Wanna drink. Wanna text somebody.
Wanna light a fuse on something new.
Wanna gamble. Wanna play.
Wanna take my mind away from what I feel.
Wreak havoc turn it inwards on myself.
Sabotage the good things in my life.
Destroy the steps I’ve taken.
Ignore the voice that’s sayin’ “Calm down”.
Not gonna calm down.
Clothes are on the floor. Mind’s not still. Mind’s not still.
Pretty sure there’s someone at my door. Mind’s not still.
Wanna smoke. Wanna fight Wanna get another tattoo.
Wanna tell that bitch just what I think.
Wanna hate. Wanna bite.
Wanna run, run, run away from what I feel.
Wreak havoc turn it inwards on myself.
Sabotage the good things in my life.
Destroy the steps I’ve taken.
Ignore the voice that’s sayin’ “Calm down”.
Not gonna calm down.
Wanna shout. Wanna cry. Wanna beat my chest.
Wanna pierce my skin. Wanna shave my head.
Wanna kick the wall. Take my thoughts away - away - away
Wreak havoc turn it inwards on myself.
Sabotage the good things in my life.
Wreak havoc turn it inwards on myself.
Sabotage the good things in my life.
Wreak havoc turn it inwards on myself.
Sabotage the good things in my life.
Destroy the steps I’ve taken.
Ignore the voice that’s sayin’ “Calm down”
Calm down.

Way Up High
05:23
|

|
Looking down you see your kingdom.
Looking down from up high.
There’s your guard at your fortress gate,
That no-one can pass by.
Your guard keeps you safe,
From the people, from the world.
Safe from love. Safe from thoughts of days gone by.
Way up high.
From up there see what you want to see.
From up there you have control.
Keep your distance, your illusion.
Keep away from the world.
In the fields your workers working.
In the streets their children play.
In their houses babies growing. These are your people
Far away.
Come down. Come down
And venture in the world.
Meet your people. Hear their stories.
Taste the water. Touch the earth.
Come down to the earth.
Feel the warmth of their fires
Feel their breath. Feel their heartbeats. Come down
From up high.
Way up high.
Don’t be afraid. Don’t be judgemental.
Do not fear that you are wrong.
From down here there are problems
But you’ll see what’s going on.
You’ll see your people need you
And your guard is old and tired.
You’ll see your past became your fortress where your lived
Way up high.

You’re not just another boy.
And Boy, have we had some fun together.
But chances are I made mistakes.
You were there when I was blue.
And I’ve been there for you when you’ve been hurtin’.
And chances are I made mistakes.
Hey-ey -ey Amigo, my Midnight Baby. Yeah
Hey-ey -ey Amigo, for you I will always, always be there.
Blue-eyed Boy your kindness shows.
People like you ‘cause you stop and say hello.
Chances are you’ll make mistakes.
And I’ve seen you agonise when things don’t go your way or satisfy you.
Chances are you’ll make mistakes.
Hey-ey-ey Amigo, for you I will always be there.
Hey-ey-ey Amigo, any night, any day, any where
A-migo
I prob’ly asked a lot of you.
I’m sorry if my choices made it harder.
Chances are I made mistakes.
Hey-ey -ey Amigo, my Midnight Baby. Yeah
Hey-ey -ey Amigo, For you I will always be there.

Morning breaks
Here we are wrapped around each other
Right now the earth is breathing just for you and me
Your kiss confirms that we are part of one another
Remember when
Our hearts connected when we were friends?
Becoming more with every conversation on the phone
You held my hand and walked with me and now it is forever
Love, love, love has bound us
Happiness has found us
I want everyone to see when I am
With you I am more like me
You are the first one who has loved me as I am.
You reassure me just by walking in the room.
What we have is rare and beautiful.
What we have is love.
Morning breaks.
Here we are still wrapped around each other.
The years have flown. We’ve grown together, had our ups and downs.
The hardest days you helped me through,
The only one for me is you.
Love, love has bound us
Happiness has found us I want
Everyone to see when I am
With you I am more like…
Love has bound us
Happiness has found us
I want everyone to see when I am with you,
Oh, when I am with you
I am more like me.

Lily

There is a girl she is my family and I love her so.
She is the joy of her father and mother,
And they love her so.
Oh Lily, Lily my love,
Oh, my sweet Lily.
Oh, Lily my love,
My darlin’ girl.
Some days, some nights have been so hard enveloped in despair.
You’re not alone in those moments of sorrow.
We who love you are all here.
Oh Lily, Lily my love,
Oh, my sweet Lily.
Oh, Lily my love,
My darlin’ girl.
Love remains, it never goes away.
Even when there’s time and space
Love never goes away.
It’s OK to cry for people gone
But love is Life, and love goes on and on.
Oh Lily, Lily my love,
Oh, my sweet Lily.
Oh, Lily my love,
My darlin’ girl.

Let This Happen
02:58

I’ve got a lot to say but I don’t say much.
Waiting for somebody to change it.
I’ve got a lot to do but I don’t do much.
Waiting for somebody to change it.
There’s something wrong and I just keep watching.
Waiting for a hero to come. I know there’s
something wrong, wrong, wrong.
I never wanna say, I could’ve done something.
Never wanna wonder why I let this happen.
Let this happen.
Let this happen.
The poison’s big. There’s no denying.
Gonna take an army to fix it.
The poison’s spread - fed on apathy.
It spread around and swallowed us whole.
Don’t look away, that’s your first mistake.
You can’t pretend that it’s not there.
Don’t look away. Don’t look away.
I never wanna say, I could’ve done something.
Never wanna wonder why I let this happen.
Let this happen.
Let this happen.
What can I do? What can I do?
What can I do? What can I do?
I never wanna say, I could’ve done something.
Never wanna wonder why I let this happen.
Let this happen.
Let this happen.
Let this happen.
Let this happen.

Finally
03:40

|
Oh my my, have I had good times.
I’ve prob’ly used up eight of my nine lives.
A never-ending pocket of free passes.
And somehow things keep turning out just fine.
Tomorrow never mattered much to me.
Only ever this minute. This moment.
But then you. I met you.
You stopped me in my tracks.
Finally getting my life together.
Sick of doing things the hard way.
The skin of my teeth won’t always save my life.
Finally putting my right foot forward.
Knuckle down, spend a little less on beer.
Always up for a good time. But because you’re mine,
I wanna be here for a long time.
Burnt each day like they’d keep comin’.
Bouncing back from every trip and fall.
I’ve begun to look beyond tomorrow.
And wonder if my luck is gonna hold.
‘Cause I can see a better life ahead.
this day-by-day rou-tine is winding down.
Because you. With you.
With you there’s no looking back.
Finally getting my life together.
Sick of doing things the hard way.
The skin of my teeth won’t always save my life.
Finally putting my right foot forward.
Knuckle down, spend a little less on beer.
Always up for a good time. But because you’re mine,
I wanna be here for a long time.
Because you,
With you,
With you there’s no looking back.
