Don't Let The Darkness
Steal Your Light

In a dim-lit bar

On a lonely street

Where the shadows dance

To a slow heartbeat

I sat alone with my thoughts

Drowning in doubt

But then…

Satan looked me straight in the eye and said

Son, you're lost in a world spinning 'round in your head

But every road's got a bend

Every story a twist

Don't let the darkness steal your light

Don't let the darkness steal your light

He spoke of regrets

Of dreams left behind

Of battles fought and

Hearts resigned

His words cut through the haze

Like a sharpened knife

Satan looked me straight in the eye and said

Son, you're lost in a world spinning 'round in your head

But every road's got a bend

Every story a twist

Don't let the darkness steal your light

Satan looked me straight in the eye and said

Son, you're lost in a world spinning 'round in your head

But every road's got a bend

Every story a twist

Don't let the darkness steal your light

Don't let the darkness steal your light

Fighting All The Time

I just cleaned the house
so why is it not clean spouse?
let’s go out tonight!
only if we see none of your friends we might

whatever I do it is wrong
what I don’t do that is worse

fighting all the time
we are fighting all the time
after all the fighting we both know
we’re in love but we must grow

talking is the key
you always talk over me
no that is not true
that is something that I would never do

And I can’t believe what you say
cuz you always get your way

fighting all the time
we are fighting all the time
after all the fighting we both know
we’re in love but we must grow

nobody is completely happy
life is hard and sometimes quite crappy
we just try to look like we’re winning
but we’re not

fighting all the time
we are fighting all the time
after all the fighting we both know
we’re in love but we must grow

You Only Call Me
When You're Drunk

always waiting
anticipating your
call it never comes and
I’m sitting home all alone

always waiting

hoping you will call me

but you never call me

I feel I am just your plan b

somebody else I’d rather be

somebody else you’d rather see

somebody else not you and me

you are hot, I’m not

somebody else I’d rather be

somebody else you’d rather see

somebody else not you and me

you are hot, I’m not

I am still waiting for your call

what do you want? I get you all

and I will catch you when you fall

I am here, my dear

somebody else I’d rather be

somebody else you’d rather see

somebody else not you and me

but then you give hope

you’re a punk!

why do you

only call

when you’re drunk?

you’re a punk!

why do you

only call

when you’re drunk?

Feeling Blue With You

I walk in a club
it’s too loud in here
but there’s many lovely girls
they are dancing round
rather happily
I’m a scared fish in a pond

then I do ask myself

why do I feel blue?

but I’ll never really know

there’s just not enough facts around

guess I gotta move on anyway

I travel the world

with you by my side

It’s exciting day and night

watching clouds go by

with you next to me

I feel life is quite easy

then I do ask myself

why do I feel blue?

but I’ll never really know

there’s just not enough facts around

guess I gotta go with my own gut

happiness is just a fleeting feeling

that might come around

but it will leave you without a sound

I feel blue with you

I feel blue with you

The 90s

we went to see all the cool bands

when no one would

our little group

these times were really good

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

move it on

we could hang out anywhere

and nobody cared

easy times

the things we drank and shared

I’m thinking ‘bout the 90s

I’m dreaming ‘bout the 90s

don’t need them back I got them on cd

when I’m feeling nostalgic

and dreaming bout the 90s

i play my mididiscs, tapes and CDs

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

move it on

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

come on

move it on

living without many responsibilities

the 90s

back when life was a breeze

I’m thinking ‘bout the 90s

I’m dreaming ‘bout the 90s

don’t need them back i got them on cds

when i’m feeling nostalgic

and dreaming ‘bout the 90s

i play my mididiscs, tapes and cds

move it on…

Vegans

kangaroos live far away
the small ones are called wallabies
the mid-sized species they are referred to as wallaroos

they are vegans but they don’t
like this word because they don’t
want to look like hipsters
they were always like that
never ate meat
even when it wasn’t cool

if they don’t listen to you

then maybe they just don’t like you

their hearing is excellent

but kangaroos don’t

like your chit-chat

they think you are a twat

they live in Australia only
but they’re never lonely
there are many millions of them
they fight like van damme

they are laid back
they love lying around
they are chilling all day
cuz it’s hot

kangaroos get
all their stuff done at night
when it’s less bloody hot
“business time”

kangaroos like to fight
quickly then it’s alright
and they’re back once again
chilling more

Netflix And Chill

I might just stay home today
I don’t really wanna run away
The weather’s fine and I am too

I just wanna stay in bed
Don’t wanna feel I need to get ahead
The mood is fine but I’m tired

But we could Netflix and chill
Don’t wanna go to Townsville
I’m happy where I am
Without a plan

Let me be inefficient for a while
Lay on my couch with lots of style
Escape into my own world

I’m sick of looking for a rhyme
Don’t wanna go to places all the time
Bloody oath, she’ll be righ

But we could Netflix and chill
Don’t wanna go to Broken Hill
I’m happy where I am
Without a plan

But we could Netflix and chill
Or hide in our Bastille
I’m happy where I am
Without a plan

Walk up a hill, into the bush,
Camping here and camping where?
on a boat the pressure’s there

But we could Netflix and chill
Don’t wanna go to Charleville
I’m happy where I am
Without a plan

But we could Netflix and chill
Don’t wanna go to Swan Hill
I’m happy where I am
Without a plan

A Place Like Home

Let’s go to the countryside
just the 5 of us right now
school’s out and the weather’s nice
not too bloody hot somehow

we dont need many things we

just pack a tent and toiletries

some beers and food and also

many cd’s

close the trunk

jump right in

music on

it can begin

little tight

and we sing

carefree as

we’ve ever been

found a place

quiet and pretty

found a place

where we wanna be

we all sit around the fire

as we eat and joke all night

there is only happy thoughts

and everything feels alright

the sky is dark as can be

the fire keeps us wake and warm

and all the sounds of nature

i am not torn

close the boot

jump right in

music on

it can begin

little tight

and we sing

carefree as

we’ve ever been

found a place

quiet and pretty

found a place

where we wanna be

found a place

to go anytime

in our memories

where we feel at ease

we balance on a barrel

then we are ninjas for a while

devil’s haircut is playing

it makes you smile

we dont wanna drink

we dont wanna whine

we just wanna act

like all is fine

we don’t wanna rush

everything’s okay

we don’t wanna play

a role tonight

found a place

quiet and pretty

found a place, like home

where we wanna be

Heartbeat

listen to your heartbeat
listen to your heart beat

listen to your heartbeat

listen to your heart beat

you wake up

it’s early still

but there’s no time to waste

cuz everyday’s a haste

so many things to plan and do

all day for everyone

but you

sometimes life can be overwhelming

too much at a time

sometimes life can be underwhelming

where is your lifeline?

listen to your heartbeat

listen to your heart beat

listen to your heartbeat

listen to your heart beat

delegate

you’re not alone

don’t do all on your own

there is help all around

but you may need to lower your

standards just a bit

for you

sometimes life can be overwhelming

too much at a time

sometimes life can be underwhelming

where is your lifeline?

listen to your heartbeat

listen to your heart beat

listen to your heartbeat

listen to your heart beat

listen to your heart

Woke

And I don’t care if you are

Non-binary or man

Neutral, omni, transsexual

Or poly or a woman

And I don’t care if you are

Gyno, hetero, homo

Bi or pan or multi or

Gray, andro or skolio

You can be the person

Anything you wanna be

Whatever means happiness to you

I hope you live carefree

But I hate you

regardless

If you’re black or blue or white

Green, red, pink, brown or a mix

Every shade looks really great

And there is no place for hate

You’re not perfect no one is

We are all just who we are

Tall or short or average

Skinny, well-built, poor or rich

You can be the person

Anything you wanna be

Whatever means happiness to you

I hope you live carefree

But I hate you

regardless

I don’t need to know

Everyone out there

I’m okay I hope you’re too

Strong Woman

got so many things I have to do today
got so many things to plan for holiday

trying to

solve it all

by myself but I am failing

without you

got so many problems always on my mind

and the world just takes advantage when I’m kind

anytime

anyplace

I am tumbling through my life

without no grace

I’m just running anywhere

running circles in despair

I’m not getting anywhere

alone

all the worries that keep me awake at night

all the many feelings that I keep inside

anytime

anyplace

I am tumbling through my life

without no grace

I’m just running anywhere

running circles in despair

I’m not getting anywhere

alone

I just wanna have a strong

woman next to me that’s all

I need a strong woman

next to me

she will force me to grow up

she will stand up for me

and we will be a team like in a dream

my strong women next to me

she will make me stronger still

nothing we couldn’t possibly do

Guess How Much I Love You

Good Friday and I’m miles away
And missing you already
From a backyard in Balmain
To the post office and back again
I bought a postcard
I’m getting close
But I haven’t got around to it yet
I know I said I’d write
And maybe I might

You know I’m thinking of you
In the bookstore

In the laundromat
Guess how much I love you
Much more

More than that
More than that

Better Saturday
It’s been that way since I spoke to you this morning
From a pay-phone in a pub
Here’s the rock’n’roll and there’s the rub
And when I spoke to you
You said “I’ll see you soon”
But I won’t see you for ages
And your voice sounded so small
The loneliness of the long distance phone call

You know I’m thinking of you
In the bookstore

In the laundromat
Guess how much I love you
Much more

More than that
Guess how much I love you
More than that

Here’s me
Here’s you
Draw a line between the two
This is cartography for beginners
On a map the gap’s three fingers
But it’s more than that
It’s more than that
