TRACK ONE: Aliens

The Aliens inside my head have gone around
And now are under my bed
So I said ‘hey, get out of there & maybe we could meet
Say somewhere above the sheets, in front of me’
Aliens in my head.

You know I can’t see them, maybe its night or maybe my mind
Those Aliens, swoop and shoot about
A trail of light lets me know they are around
Those Aliens inside my head

Those Aliens in my head, from my head down to my toes,
I feel, but not see them,
Though they’re aware
Those Aliens in my head

Even though I’ve tried, pulled the blinds and covered my head,
You know, I’ve closed all my eyes, but these beings 4D presence,
Play around with my senses and the sound of their frequency,
I can hear but not see … so it is all in my mind?

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK TWO: Main In The Moon

It’s late at night, stars shining bright
Moon on a glow, Man in the moon
Move over and give me some room

I want to move on in, it’s better than where I have been
All the stakes are high, I’ll hire rocket, wave by and fly
The path is well in sight, cause I see the moonlight lights my way

It’s not that I am evicted, I’ve got a home
Though when I see what you have got, your place is all the go
Well anyway, I’ve always wanted to meet you

Man in the moon, give me some room
For I want to let this space
That is if you can take my pace
I don’t want that rat race
Say, whats the part price on this place, though I know
We could spend the evenings with some wine, crackers
And just the best cheese in the world

Man in the moon, I’ll see you soon
Shooting for the times, I see you before sunrise

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK THREE: Morning (Instrumental)


TRACK FOUR: One More Time (Instrumental)


TRACK FIVE: Wait

Well since walking around, I feel the clown
As you turn left again, I’ve gone right
Though since looking once more, all seems quite right
You’re over there, I’m behind

So won’t you wait,
For again, I’m going to be late

So maybe at times I was known to dream
Then along you come and woke me
But now I find myself in another trance
Your eyes body soul make my heart sing and dance

See as the pace heats up and the mood smooths out
I’ll be on the stage fumbling around
Though I might like to be, but right from the start
My style walked out the door as you danced in

So won’t you wait,
For again, Im going to be late

So if this style of way
Seems to be OK, well I’m yours
And if its in that tack
We make a classy act
Then I’ll try not to slip on the door

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK SIX: CT (Scat)


TRACK SEVEN: Noon (Instrumental)


TRACK EIGHT: It’s True

Biding my time alone
My mind is away with wherever you are
Within, whatever we’ve been
As this (consumes) is all I see

Well, its true, I miss you
It’s gone, that feeling of love when you’re around

I am in work and enjoy,
But you have thrown that right out of kilt
I’m so involved with this day
I may as well go and stick my head in the sand

Its true, I miss you
It’s gone, that feeling of love when you are around
Its true, all I want is you, here and now
I’d say, you’d change my day

I wish to complain
To myself, whilst I can’t refrain
Or maybe its you, you see
For you are all through me

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK NINE: That Reminds Me (Instrumental)


TRACK TEN: Reef n’ Beef (Instrumental)


TRACK ELEVEN: Box Seat

Hurts me, hurts you
Know you, hurts me
Please know, you were no better or worse than me
Those who would say, that you were not OK
Where in your way, had no place, worlds away

And the death you described inside
As it was your own
Should have been a season passed,
But now it’s no soul

Hurts you, hurts me
Hurts all those that I can see
Something, somewhere, is not quite clear
If only that day, you had broke down and had your say

Though the death you had described, well it was your own
And since you have passed away, our ears hear not from your soul

Hurts me, hurts you, no you, hurts me
Hurts all those that I can see
And you displayed your happy face again
But this just cannot happen again

And you said that you were OK, but you took you away
This cannot happen again, others hear what is said
To take it own your own, day by day

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK TWELVE: Bursting Bubbles

Oh, from now I’ll am gonna keep from trouble,
Cause every time I’ve burst my bubble,
And it’s driving me insane,

And it does me no good
Everybody else can see it too
So I’m just gonna walk way,

Unless I can bring into control my emotional tango
For its all in my mind though it enough to make me cry

And it does me no good
Everybody else can see it too
So im just gonna walk, im just gonna walk

So from now I am going to stay out of trouble
‘Cause I am all sick and tired of bursting my bubble
As there is enough gone wild inside

And it does me no good
Everybody else can see it too
So i’m just gonna walk away, i’m just gonna walk
Cause I ‘aint got nothing left to do
I’m just gonna walk

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK THIRTEEN: Nite (Instrumental)


TRACK FOURTEEN: Zebadubadah


BLUE CD

TRACK ONE: Days Go Bye

Days go bye
Life goes on
Where am I heading
I begin to wonder

My heads in the clouds
My feet in the sea
Drifting through life
Is the life for me

Whatever happens
Out in the world
It don’t matter
I feel just fine

This is the life for me
It’s so easy and free
I’m just gunna keep moving on
Singing that wondering song

One of these days
I am going to make it good
And I know when I do
I am going to fly

And one of these days
I am going to try and stop
Wondering, and not wonder
Because this wondering seems to pass into time
Still, that’s fine

This is the life for me
It’s so easy and free
I’m just gunna keep moving on
Singing that wondering song

I wonder if it could be my attitude
Well No! I don’t think so
You know I think I will sit here for another day
The sun still sets and time fades away

This is the life for me
It’s so easy and free
I’m just gunna keep moving on
Singing that wondering song

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK TWO: All Of The Things

If it rains, we go and walk
And if sun, stay in and talk
If the skies look awful grey
We could play……

When wind blows, we’ll ride a bike
And if still, try and fly a kite
Marshmallow clouds drift low and higher
Cooked on a fire

All of the things that seem okay
Are not how we’ll spend our day
Singing our songs lets call our tunes
Just me and you

By the lake, we’ll be in the mud
On the beach, curled under a rug
As surfs up, sail our toy boat
And if calm, ‘hang-ten’ and float

While we drift we could throw a line
A hook with no bait should pass the time
As land falls out from our view
I cast onto you

All of the things that are so norm
Keep me so cold but you’re so warm
Lets do and stand inside the fire
No love is higher

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK THREE: Blame

Don’t have to live in silence
You can try to lock me out
Well I’ve been in your shoes
And I know what it’s all about
Looking at you is like looking in a mirror
I see myself, I feel your pain
Only now, I am little bit wiser
Don’t make those mistakes again

Don’t blame your mother
Don’t blame your family
Don’t blame your father
Don’t you think about blaming me

Heres a shoulder to cry on
Why did you try to end it all?
You got a lot and I think you know it
Well girl, so do we all
Time to dry your eyes
The hate inside must end
Sure its water under the bridge
Gotta leave your love again

Don’t blame your mother
Don’t blame your family
Don’t blame your father
Don’t you think about blaming me

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK FOUR: Running Away (Instrumental)


TRACK FIVE: Count The Score

What’s this game that you play?
Do you know what it’s all about?
You’re either hot or cold or warm
Do you know what this games all about?

You know I get so paranoid
Do you even like me at all?
I can rock your world, so you better come
If you wanna keep me coming back for more

Are you the type that gets turned on
By hearing your own voice?
Are you naturally this way
Or is it by your own choice?

What do you see in me
Or do you see anything in me at all
I can rock your world, so you better come
If you wanna keep me coming back for more

I can’t believe that you’re acting this way
Are you always in complete control?
You better not let your curtain slip
You’ll reveal to be a lonely soul

Lyrics by Kathryn Battaglene


TRACK SIX: II x XX (Two x Twenty)

Fall down, nothing new
It’s something we have all been through
Two times, twenty times
It’s fine if you’ll be there

Won’t you lend me a hand?
Won’t you help me stand?
Won’t you lend me a hand?
For I have come so far

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK SEVEN: Into The Night

You came, out of the cold dark room
You came, stepped into the light
The look of lovers as they sleep
Showed on your face the first time

How will we ever survive the chance to live or die?
I must be dreaming, into the night

Somehow, these visions are so strong
Somehow, I know where you are
Sleeping, I have never slept so well
Dreaming of you, gone to far

Now were into the night, don’t know what’s wrong or right
Or if I can believe it
How will we ever survive the chance to live or die?
I must be dreaming, into the night

Watch out cos it’s gonna catch up with you
Not sure if this is a dream too
In trouble better run towards the light
I’ll see you when I am dreaming with you into the night

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK EIGHT: Evening Shadows (Instrumental)


TRACK NINE: Say Hello

Two timing, I’ve been finding
Has been stirring up my mixed up mind
Ass a bit of wine and a little time
I am sure she will find a way to take him home again

Why not say hello
Why not stay
Stepping out she goes
I’m not in the way
For today is not my day

Been felling like I am caught on her reel
I wouldn’t know as to just what she wants to catch
Though I am finding that this two lining
Is starting to send me right around the bloody bend

So go and say hello
And why not stay
She’ll enjoy herself
No matter what I’d say
Don’t matter what I say

The more time I spend upon this crooked line
I find I might just get up and bite a great hole in it
With a bit of wine and a little time
I got my eyes set on new sights, this girl is mine

So off she goes tra-la
Tra-la she’d say
She’ll enjoy herself
No love’s in the way
For ours was yesterday

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK TEN: Guns Without Bullets (Instrumental)


TRACK ELEVEN: Stand Secure

Set a course, from desire to destruction
Intake ability that’s a danger to sanity
How far, can the system excess?
Pull your finger, from the trigger
Before the breakdown

Pick it up, before the breakdown
Give it up, for you will want to be around

Where’s the answers, it’s in the palm of your hand
Not far away, what could be further than a thought
Where’s the action, it’s so hard to commence
Just like the monkey and the old man’s defense

But it’s for ones soul, to keep you on call
For tomorrow is so they say, its better, it’s better than today

Well, burn stigmata, burn it into the flesh
Next in line, next in line to the crucifix
Stop the cycle; stop the wound from taking hold
Too young to die, people tell us that there is so much to live for

Pick it up, before the breakdown
Set a stand secure, as people want you to be around

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK TWELVE: Don’t Fake It

Been to hills and valleys,
Where the rivers run wild,
Lost in the loneliest place,
Crying like a child

Time to go back home,
Back where I belong,
You say you loved me,
Somehow it all seems wrong

When I’m lying in your arms,
It’s the magic of your charm
Don’t fake it

You say what I want to hear,
When it’s not true,
Expect me to hang around,
Be here for you

Time to make your mind up,
Time to make a stand,
You promised me the world,
But I don’t know where I am

When I’m lying in your arms,
It’s the magic of your charm, don’t fake it,
Every little thing you do,
I want to give myself to you, don’t fake it

Another time, another place
We’ve lost the fire,
It’s on your face,
Imagination, like a child
In a winters dream
Where the river runs wild

When I’m lying in your arms,
It’s the magic of your charm, don’t fake it,
Every little thing you do,
I want to give myself to you, don’t fake it

Another time, another place
We’ve lost the fire,
It’s on your face,
Imagination, like a child
In a winters dream
Where the river runs wild

I said don’t fake it

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK THIRTEEN: Another World

The world is not the same anymore
People seem so busy
There’s no feeling in what the say, no respect
I just don’t like what I see

I can sense the anger and aggression
Smell the fear
We must get back into some kind of order
If we don’t chaos will reign

Is there a chance for a better way?
I think so, I’ve seen the signs
It’s a change of attitude to things we once had
Care and compassion for one another

Lyrics by Andrew Muecke


MULTICOLOUR CD

TRACK ONE: All In My Mind

Under the house and under the stairs
Is a thing that awaits and now prepares
He’s only after me, my family is fine
I created him in the back of my mind

When I come home, I pause with the night
And try to tell myself that everything is alright,
He knows me so well and feeds on my flaws
He is going to grab my feet when he runs for the door

Outside my window & under the ledge,
There’s a lady with red eyes and & an amputed head,
She’s only after me, my family is fine,
I created her in the back of my mind

Won’t close my eyes and won’t go to sleep,
Cause I know if I do, my soul she gets to keep,
I’m so sleepy, she’s in for the scare,
I’m jumping out of skin, cause I know that she’s there

The same time every night, I go for a shower,
There’s a thing in the attic that watches every hour
He’s only after me, my family is fine,
I created him in the back of my mind

Turn on hot water, it feels steamy wet,
I know that this heat isn’t over yet,
I can feel his presence, his electric static,
He’s going to drag me into the attic

Under the bed, out in the night
In the old house, bump in the night
Inside the closet, home all alone,
Noise’s outside, heavy breathing on the phone

Stephen King books just before bed,
Mother told me it’s all in my head,
I know that she’s right, I know I will find,
Everything I see is all in my mind

Lyrics by Kathryn Battaglene


TRACK TWO: I Will

It seems that I’ve
Caught some light
Thrown a shade in my mind
And I could be where it might

I’m sure that this state of mind
Will mend itself and in time
Get back to myself

I will, give you up

You know that you’ve
Got this presence
Yield a constant calling
So I beckon at your chime

Just to relieve my mind

And in this state of delirium
I look for your serum
And lay back whilst within
Your whirlwind keeps me at bay

I will, give you up

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK THREE: Carbon Copy

Penetration of our nation
America has a major fracture
Bet ya, Australia
Would love to match her

We’re a carbon copy America
Living with their crime and liking it
Cause we, love our America
Even if it kills us

Bright lights, action
Bad men guarantee satisfaction
As long as they’re on the screen
Know what I mean

We’re a carbon copy America
Living with their crime and liking it
Cause we, love our America
Even if it kills us

Lyrics by Kathryn Battaglene


TRACK FOUR: Personification

Look at the sky
It’s slowly falling down
It wants to squash us into the ground
My outfit has holes
And it screams out loud

You are all criminals
You should be arrested by the earth
But it’s got no hands to turn the key
And it’s got no ears for sympathy

Look at the sea
It’s looking very sick
It wants to drown us in its dirty spit
My gown is so dirty
And it screams out loud

You are all criminals
You should be arrested by the earth
But it’s got no hands to turn the key
And it’s got no ears for sympathy

Lyrics by Kathryn Battaglene


TRACK FIVE: Open Doors

Something comes my way,
I feel this could be right,
Given a chance I will take it
Open doors, I see the light

On the path that leads me on,
In the tunnel which I come,
The journey takes to higher moments
I swear, I see the sun

Everything is coming my way,
I knew to take this flight,
Getting closer, oh, so much closer,
I hit the sun, I see the night

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK SIX: Beware

You said, you said you would see to it
But from here it looks like a blur
And in time will you find that your line is going to
Throw you out on a curve

So hello, hello or however it goes
Its so nice to be around
I’ll go here or there, just about anywhere
But somewhere closer to the ground

As I cry, lets go

And when I’ve turned around
Again you’d put me down
So beware
For I no longer care

If I’ve got the choice
I’ll make a whole lotta noise
And take part within a whole
And if I do or don’t
It’s okay to say
It’s an open field of play

So hey, is what I say

And when I’ve turned around
Again you’d put me down
So beware
For I no longer care

I’d write a line and a stain falls onto my finger, oh yeah,
Is this the last blast from a face from the past
Or just your curse wanting to linger

So for now, I will see you no more

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK SEVEN: Sanctuary

Here we stand before you,
The rhythm seeping to the bone,
You feel the beat creep through your flesh,
You realise your on your own,
Sanctuary

The rhythm rushing for you,
You flinch as it hits the flesh,
Your body wants to move,
But your mind begins to melt
Sanctuary

The music is going deeper,
Getting closer to the place,
Where your head is not where it should be,
And your mind is someplace else
Sanctuary

Lyrics by Nicole Salisbury


TRACK EIGHT: Because (Of The Rain)

I hear the rain pouring down
It’s a mysterious sound
Although the sun doesn’t shine, I don’t care
My dreams alight like lightning in the air

I dream of the place where I long to be
With that raging storm surrounding me
But you’re never there
So I go through the storm alone

Your in the sun, burning your dreams
Your life falling apart at the seems
And I can’t hear you cry
Because of the rain

I feel the rain on my skin
Its presence fills me within
In the eye of the storm I will be
Knowing you be far from me

I dream of the place where I long to be
With that raging storm surrounding me
But you’re never there
So I go through the storm alone

Your in the sun, burning your dreams
Your life falling apart at the seems
And I can’t hear you cry
Because of the rain

I hear the rain pouring down
I feel the rain on my skin
It’s a mysterious sound
Its presence fills me within
And I can’t hear you cry
Because of the rain falling from the sky

Lyrics by Kathryn Battaglene


TRACK NINE: Her Lullaby (Instrumental)


TRACK TEN: I Will (Instrumental)


SUNRISE CD

TRACK ONE: Beat Beat

Get on the right ride
Won’t you come and try a ride and fling a ding with me
Hitting on the right drum we can set the beat just how we please
Enjoy the pleasure the electricity will turn you on
Riding high on, in a round without no sun, beat beat

Come back again, we can do it again
Maybe later, we can play the game
Come back again, we can do it again
Maybe later, we can play the game
We can play the game

You’re on the right track
But once is never, never, never, never, never enough

You’re on the right thing
Maybe we should do it again
You’re on the right thing
Maybe we should try and do it again

The beat has returned
As your ride enters into another world

Come back again, we can do it again
Maybe later, we can play the game
Come back again, we can do it again
Maybe later, we can play the game
We can play the game

Back to front
Side to side
Reverse behind up and down
Over, under
Within without it just can’t be done

Come back again, we can do it again
Maybe later, we can play the game
Come back again, we can do it again
Maybe later, we can play the game
We can play the game

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK TWO: Across The Border

Get across the border
Go and try the other side
Get across the border
Find a another paradise
You thought you had it
So why blow it all away
All seemed so special
Maybe that was yesterday, well

Get across the border
And you feel that lust
Is it all worth it?
To lose that trust
Get across the border
And you let him in
Who knows where you’re going
Who knows where you’ve been

Get across the border
Turn love into blue
Just can’t believe in
What you say is true
Time heals all wounds
But you, you cut deep
If only it weren’t real you’re the one to keep, well

You’ve crossed the border
And you ain’t gonna come back
Wanted to catch the other train
Heading down the other track
Why did it happen?
How could you let it be?
You want someone but just
Who do you see, well?

Now that you made it and you
Want to come back
See things a different way
Didn’t you think of that?
Hope there’s a chance
Given a little time
You make it back
From hanging on the borderline, well

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK THREE: Rain

Walking in the rain
I must say it is cold again
The roads, they are breathing
We walk into another

Let’s hold the heat inside
To keep from what outside
The dark that hides out there
Need not be a scare
Let’s hold the heat inside
To keep from what outside
The dark that hides out there
Need not be a scare, be a scare, no, no, be a scare

Walking through the rain
The cold and wet have got me again
I’m going to have to stay cool
And wait till the warmth come through

Let’s hold the heat inside
To keep from what outside
The dark that hides out there
Need not be a scare
Let’s hold the heat inside
To keep form what outside
The dark that hides out there
Need not be a scare

Lyrics by Andrew Muecke


TRACK FOUR: Days Go Bye

Days go bye
Life goes on
Where am I heading
I begin to wonder

My heads’ in the clouds
My feet in the sea
Drifting through life
Is the life for me

Whatever is happening out in the world
It don’t matter
I feel just fine

You know, this is the life for me
It’s so easy and free
I’m gonna just keep moving on
Singing that wondering song, wondering song

One of these days I’m going to make it good
And I know when I do I’m going to fly

And one of these days I’m going to try and stop
Wondering and not wonder cos this wondering seems to pass into time
Still, that’s fine, that’s fine, that’s fine, that’s fine

You know, this is the life for me
It’s so easy and free
I’m gonna just keep moving on
Singing that wondering song, wondering song

Days go bye
Life goes on
Where am I heading
I begin to wonder

Well I wonder if it could be my attitude
Well no, I don’t think so

You know I think I will sit here for another day
The sun sets and time fades away, away, away, away

This is the life for me
It’s so easy and free
I’m gonna just keep moving on
Singing that wondering song, wondering song

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK FIVE: Lock The Door

When I go to bed I lock the door
Don’t know when to stop
I keep the chill blains at the door
I lock the door and I lock the door

I lock the door and I lock the door, I lock the door and I lock the door

Don’t care what my name is
I don’t care what the day is
I keep from running and I won’t go out
A shock from right and a shock from wrong

I lock the door and I lock the door, I lock the door and I lock the door

See the boat land on the shore
See it all on the TV wall
Lightly floating on its own
I lock the door and I lock the door

I lock the door and I lock the door, I lock the door and I lock the door

I’m walking out my front door
Can take this scene no more
I’m walking out my front door
Can take this scene no more

I lock the door and I lock the door, I lock the door and I lock the door

A shock from right and a shock from wrong, a shock from right and a shock from wrong

Lyrics by Gowrie Waterhouse and Jon Muecke


TRACK SIX: Swing

My baby she’s got style
The way she moves really sends me on fire
There’s something about that is just the best
But you don’t really know what she’s up to next

You see she sees and follows the line
That takes her out into the night
With her in your arms you’ve got to win
But it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing

Well my baby she’s got class
She thinks the sun shines out of her ass
With us one we’re all the way
But while the cats away the mouse is going to play

Well people say we are like chalk and cheese
But what would they know, what they don’t see
Is from the very first tasty try
We are more like cream and marshmallow pie

Well something in the back of my mind bothers me
Is who the hell is going to be that strawberry
I look around and wonder which he be?
Maybe the man with the tan and the big bulgy body

Well you know he strolls over sits down hey I say
Hello there, he says hi I’m gay
Now I know why he always looked around
His eyes were peeled on my zipper which had fallen down

We split that scene as fast as we could
But what it did I finally understood
Is what I had and loved all this time
Was a woman so sweet, man she’s divine

Well this cats happy with what he’s got
This cute baby sends me right to the top
I just gotta keep her spellbound from some cheese
But if this mice does get a slice it better be Swizz, Camembert or Brie

Well this cats happy with what he’s got
This cute baby sends me right to the top
I just gotta keep her spellbound from some cheese
But if this mice does get a slice it better be Swizz, Camembert or Brie

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK SEVEN: Jazz

See the sun it shines above
The sun it shines on you with love

I can see
What you mean
I can see the meaning to me

The love that comes from inside
The side where no one else can hide

I can see
What you mean
I can see the meaning to me

See the love there standing in a line
Teach me how and I can show you how you can find

I can see
What you mean
I can see the meaning to me
Yeah, tell me baby

Lyrics by Nicole Salisbury


TRACK EIGHT: Exploit

Time is running out
We got to make a stand
If it means we change our ways
It’s worth every extra day
We’ve got to stop this destruction
What in the world will be left?
Some peace and harmony
No big boys with their deadly toys

Who’s going to?
Who’s going to save the world?
One and all
We can shock this exploitation

Living in a world that is so, so scary
What can we tell our kin?
That’s the way that Mother Nature made us?
Roads, buildings, bombs and guns, bang, bang
Everybody’s dead

See that patch of green
shall we cut it down and put up a factory
See that stream it looks so clean
We could use it, chemically abuse it

We area all the friends of the earth
Too few
Too few and far between
Too far between

Look around you
How much is natural
We let down others care
Too many years ago
And now we just don’t

Know how to control technology
And the scars of our industry
Reversing the state of pollution and the nightmare is
Is there a solution?
oh no, no, no, no

Lyrics by Jon Muecke


TRACK NINE: Be Free

Why are you right into the scene?
I think you know what I mean
I can tell by the look in your eye
You are here to find my style

I want to be free, oh
I wanna be me

What about what your mother told you
Has she failed by your misfortune

Where’s your friend can’t you see your future
its laid out here on the table before you

I want to be free, oh
I wanna be me
I want to be free, oh
I wanna be me

Lies of theirs, you said are scattered dreams
Now your sure they’re what you mean
in a flash it crashes around you
now your back where once I found you

I want to be free, oh
I wanna be me
I want to be free, oh
I wanna be me

Lyrics by Nicole Salisbury


TRACK TEN: Dancing In The Sun

Dancing in the sun

Dancing in the sun
we thought would never end

The warmth inside our skin
So easy to pretend

It seems like yesterday when someone said to me
Don’t take away the wealth of the world for all to see

The world is a riddle
And us in the middle

Dancing in the sun
I woke up well today
You take a look at me
And tell me what you say
It is in my reach or do I look too far
To the one who seems to give the answer

The world is a riddle
And us in the middle

Dancing in the sun
So here we say goodbye
I tear myself away from stars beneath our life
It was but up into prayer that I stole from you
But know I know the answer to what’s killing you

The world is a riddle
And us in the middle

Lyrics by Nicole Salisbury


TRACK ELEVEN: Biscuit

I see the sky above
That shines through with love
And the purple haze
I spin around in a daze
Put the heat on the ground
It’s a place I’ll be found
Where the moon and stars
The sound of wild guitars
Oh, oh………………………

With the moon and stars
The sound of wild guitars
Slipped to where I’ll be
To the place you’ll see
Where time is all around
As I lay on the ground
With the stars above
That shines through with love
Oh, oh………………………

Lyrics by Nicole Salisbury


TRACK TWELVE: Stain In The Picture

You said you’d see to it
But you pushed me away
Said you’d organise it yesterday
a change in plans put me out of time
But I see you’re going along fine

Do other plans come first over me?
Why do I was come secondary
I notice you go and find an excuse
I want put up with this convenient abuse

Let’s make a date and settle upon a time
A place of your choice wherever you like
You can be sure that I will be there
But if I am late, just sit back, relax, have a beer and wait

Do other plans come first over me
Why do I was come secondary
I notice you go and find an excuse
I want put up with this convenient abuse

As I sit and watch you from another place
across the road I see your tormented face
I cannot help but enjoy this backward scene
you stain the picture and not me

Do other plans come first over me
Why do I was come secondary
I notice you call and find an excuse
I want put up with this convenient abuse

Lyrics by Nicole Salisbury


TRACK THIRTEEN: Steel Puppets


TRACK FOURTEEN: Vikings (Instrumental)


TRACK FIFTEEN: New Peace (Instrumental)


TRACK SIXTEEN: Colours

Thoughts of the day paint grey on my mind
Sold all my gold to someone unkind
The colours I see won’t stay here with me

Give me some green land, my own little nest
And I will give you my red rose and owe you the rest

The rainbows I chase never stay in one place
The rainbows I chase never stay in one place

Autumn leaves falling brown, red and gold
With a vision of white as the winter takes hold

The colours have become part of me
The colours have become part of me

The colours I see have become part of me
The colours I see have become part of me, yeah

Lyrics by Jodie Glendenning


TRACK SEVENTEEN: Don’t Fake It

Winter hills and valleys
Where the rivers run wild
Lost in the loneliest place
Crying like a child

Time to go back home
Back where I belong
You say you loved me
Somehow it all seems wrong

When I’m lying in your arms
It’s the magic of your charm, don’t fake it

You say what I want to hear
When it’s not true
Expect me to hang around
Be here for you

Time to make your mind up
Time to make a stand
You promised me the world
But I don’t know where I am

When I’m lying in your arms
It’s the magic of your charm, don’t fake it
Every little thing you do
I want to give myself to you, don’t fake it, don’t fake it

Another time, another place
We’ve lost the fire, it’s on your face
Imagination, like a child
In a winters dream, where the river runs wild

When I’m lying in your arms
It’s the magic of your charm, don’t fake it, don’t fake it
Every little thing you do
I want to give myself to you, don’t fake it

Another time, another place
We’ve lost the fire, it’s on your face
Imagination, like a child
In a winters dream, where the river runs wild
I said don’t fake it

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK EIGHTEEN: Cowbell (Instrumental)


TRACK NINETEEN: Harmonic

No matter what the future holds
Or what the bible says
The sinners keep on moving
Well it’s the rubbish in your hand
You can be told a 1000 times
What we hear is not what we do
A life of dreams and memories
That become a part of you
But when will we ever learn
So tell me when will we ever learn

So stop and smell the salty air
And think of life’s beginnings
And what the future has in store
About what our destiny is bringing
Well in the minds of open hearts
Well there will never be no doubt
And we change the road we are own
And then god will let us out
We don’t worry any more
It’s what we are here for
When we will learn any more
It’s what we are here for
It’s what we are here for

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK TWENTY: Not Safe

It’s raining outside today
There’s no peace and quiet
You can’t go out and play
It’s not safe out anymore

It’s raining outside today
Can’t hear myself thinking
Is there somewhere we can stay
It’s not safe out anymore
It’s not safe out anymore

We are like birds on a wire
It’s not safe anymore
We all can’t put out the fire

It’s raining outside today
Our hearts can’t hear the children
Can’t change it anyway, not safe out anymore
The sun came out today still can’t hear myself thinking
I need a place to hide away, it’s not safe out anymore
It’s not safe out anymore

We are like birds on a wire
It’s not safe anymore
When we can’t put out the fire

We can’t put out the fire
It’s not safe
Can’t put out the fire

We can’t put out the fire, anymore, well anymore
Our world is torn apart

It’s raining outside today
It’s not safe out anymore
There’s no peace and quiet
It’s not safe out anymore

The sun came out today
Not safe out anymore
Kids got nowhere to play here anymore

Safe anymore

We are like birds on a wire
It’s not safe anymore
When we can’t put out the fire

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK TWENTY-ONE: Chocolate

You can give me anything you want
But baby it’s alright, it’s alright
You can take me to any restaurant
But I tell you it’s alright, yeah it’s alright

Don’t want a ticket round the world

Lyrics by Jo Stanley


TRACK TWENTY-TWO: Test Drive

You better hold on and just wait a minute
Cos I keep losing track
Can’t you just slow down and just wait a minute
Something just keeps pulling me back and that’s all yeah

I won’t be long so can’t you wait for a minute
I’m getting closer to you, yeah
You better just hold and just wait for a minute
Break down the wall so I can get through

Wait for a minute

Reach out your arm and take my hand, yeah

Break down the walls so I can get through

Wait for a minute
Wait for a minute

TRACK TWENTY-THREE: Roll Mighty River

Roll Mighty River down into the sea
Building up the power a force of energy
Make a wave and turn the water into white
Toss another stone the bottom black as night

Feel the heat get on your feet and hit the waves
Yeah I am coming for ya, coming all the way
Ride into the tide if it takes all night
Roll out mighty river to the highest tides
