Let Go
04:43
|
|||
Dark is my mind
Dark is the hair on her head
Dark is the raven screaming
Let go and see where she takes you
I feel the cold lift
I feel the blood coming back
I feel the fire, it's burning inside
I'm gonna let go and see where she takes me
I see no trouble ahead
But I see chaos in my wake
I see the moon sitting high in the sky
It's saying, let go and see where she takes you
I hear her call my name
I feel the waves crashing around
I feel the tide, it's pulling at my feet
I'm gonna let go and see where she takes me

Something Better
03:18
|
|||
Well I think I'm done with Sunday mornings on my own
And I think I'm through with hoarding numbers on my phone
I'm giving up on this drink in front of me and heading home
Because I found something better
And she don't wait for too long
Well I think I'm through with coming back to an empty home
And I think I'm done with coming back with broken bones
Well maybe I should sit back down and finish this drink in front of me
But I found something better
And she's waiting for me

Hypnotiser
06:07
|

You move you sway down like the branches
My breath’s the breeze that’s all around you
I am the hypnotiser
Let’s move together baby
I am the firelighter
Let’s burn together baby
Here comes the gospel choir
Sing it with me baby
You move you float in like the waves do
I am the tide that's all around you
Let's make the ocean sway
Let's move together baby
I am the water's edge
Come swimming with me baby
Here comes the gospel choir
Sing it with me baby
I am the gospel choir
Sing it with me baby
You move you rise up like the moon yeah
I am the night that's all around you
Let’s stumble in the dark
Let's move together baby
The world’s asleep they'll never know
Let’s move together baby
I am your lullaby
Sing it with me baby
Here comes the gospel choir
They're singing for us baby
I am the gospel choir
Sing it with me baby

Howling For Me
03:29
|
|||
She had eyes that wept for my return
I was on my way home as she lay there in the dirt
Too sick to go on, too cold to sleep through the hurt
By the time I arrived she was gone, she was gone
I took her in my arms and walked her out to the car
What’s three hours on the road with a loved one by your side
I took her to that place where we freely ran through the night
Sunk my shovel into that black sand and dug the sand out with the tide
With my hands around her chest I lowered her into the ground
I filled that hole back in and got back in the car
I still hear her howl, howling for me through the night
Howling me back, back to her side
She had eyes that wept for my return

Five Boys One Farm
05:30
|
|||
One boy never wanted it
but it was pinned on anyway
A life of toil and hardship
and he never had a say
The first boy would have wanted it
but he never had a chance
Only carried half the family name
so they never even asked
Their father was a mean man
Took everything he could
Took every love he had for granted
His kids they never understood
But hey he could work the land
When the land was at its hardest
Saw his neighbours fall and bite the dust
Like his love to their young mother
Five boys
One farm
One bad divorce
Two boys had young families
but were never gonna stay
So when they got the money up
they took their young families away
Living on a state line
as far as poor boys can be
They keep their young families close
Planting two brand new family trees
Five boys
One farm
One bad divorce
Now the youngest holds a grudge against
his mother walking out that day
And there's a new man on the family land
The brothers never had no say
The oldest keeps his mouth shut
about the farm he wanted as his home
He says if no-one ever wanted it,
who cares now that it's gone?
Five boys
One farm
One bad divorce

Bareknuckle Boogie
03:00
|
|||
Young man walking home
T-shirt in his hand
He wears his naked torso tall
He's a proud Australian man
Blood clot in his nose
Bruising 'round his eye
Swelling in his knuckles
He's been dancing tonight
Bloodied and bruised
The bareknuckle boogie
Young man in his last hour
Of his weekly work
Young man’s impatient
For somebody to get hurt
He says I'm going to the casino
First I'll get kicked out of there
And there'll be hell to pay
For anybody who dares
We'll get bloodied and bruised
The bareknuckle boogie
Young man get drunk
Young man kicked out
Young man on the ground
Young man in a van
Later in the courtroom
His old lady she weeps
I think his old man is proud
He taught him to dance and he dances well
Bloodied and bruised
The bareknuckle boogie

I'm In Love
04:54
|
|||
I'm gonna bare my soul
Ain’t gonna reference no lonesome road
I confess my affection has grown and grown
I'm in love
I'm gonna lay it down
Put my pen down and shout it out loud
This is for your ears, but they're gonna hear it for miles around
I'm in love
Two children in the night
Two lovers swept up in a tide
This is just another two more lines
Because I'm in love
You could have a lifetime of concerns
but I'll share your worries and burdens
I'm in love

95km to Sandy Point
06:22
|
|||
I picked up my ex-lady around the corner
To take her into town to the state court
But not for any way I may have wronged her
Lord knows she done no wrongs to me
I've been dreading this moment for a long time
It's been 12 months since I seen her to the day
and my body ain’t forgotten about her warmness
Lord knows she ain’t forgotten about my ways
There’s a bad man waiting for us in the courtroom
A bad man we once picked up on the road
To take him from his evil to a safe place
There’s no way anybody could have known
So we sit here together in silence
Maybe there’s just nothing left for us to say
When I finally got us back to that courtroom
I answered every question that came my way
Well yes sir, I picked him up near Churchill
Said his car had broken down somewhere
But if I knew then what I now know about him
Things would have turned out a different way
Because I know there were people looking for him
And I know they all had something to say
Probably would have strung him up on a front porch
But maybe a man like that deserves to go that way
Well I'm sorry if you don't have my full attention
It's been 12 months since I seen her to the day
and my body ain’t forgotten about her warmness
Lord knows she ain’t forgotten about my ways

Early morning come down blues
Eyes are wide the day is new
Will I lay my head down once again
When the night has come I'll rise again
Because my beer don't work
and my wine don't work
yeah my gin don't work
and my weed don't work
Well I'm dreaming of the night to come
and all I'll do when this day is done
Well I'll lay my head down once again
When the night has come I'll rise again
Because my beer don't work
and my wine don't work
yeah my gin don't work
and my weed don't work
Now the sun is going down
It's time to get back on it
Flying high through the night
Baby let me fly, oh let me fly
Well I worked so hard all week long
Now the weekend’s here and the work’s all done
Will I lay my head down once again
When the night has come I'll rise again
Because my beer don't work
and my wine don't work
yeah my gin don't work
and my weed don't work

Mothers Lament
04:40
|
|||
Mother warned me
She sees a darkness
Coming from within
She said, my darling
I offer no guidance
The lesson’s there to learn
Mother dearest
Your child is blinded
Hold a light up
She needs your guidance
