Happy Abduction
03:59
|
|||
We were out walking, in fields of grass
It was the evening when shapes came to pass
We searched the skies for sparkling circles
Suddenly singing but for no good reason
Singing La La La La La La La La La La
Now we are dancing, but there was no music
Now we are flying for all appearance
We were so high high i i i
Clouds rolling by i i i i
There's talk in the town, they say we are missing
They searched around, leaving tiny blue ribbons
They searched the skies for sparkling circles
But we were just smiling and everlasting
They searched the skies i i i i
We were just having a happy abduction
Singing La La La La La La La La La La

Old Roads
03:44
|
|||
I only drive the old roads in this town
I think I'm seeing ghosts, but it doesn't matter
I'm searching for the signs of a previous life
I took a turn with a friend of mine
I only drive the old roads of this town
I made a deal with a German dancer
Caught behind a rattling tin-can tram
We're moving slow but I don't mind
You'll find me on the road Mt. Alexander
Then I'm heading south along the Chandler
Crossing over on Centre Road, from East Bentleigh
I'm caught in a loop, now can you see me
I'm looking through windows for trinity
Old Coburg's not the place it used to be, people live in the jail
I see my father crossing over, that block of flats is so much taller
My temperature gauge is getting hotter, in a memory of love
Up a one way street and down another
There's an old milk bar on the corner
It's selling yesterdays papers, in a memory of love
I only drive the old roads in this town
I think I'm seeing ghosts, but it doesn't matter
I'm searching for the signs of a previous life
I took a turn with a friend of mine
I only drive the old roads of this town
I made a deal with a german dancer
Caught behind a rattling tin-can tram
We're moving slow but I don't mind
I only drive the old Roads of this town

I'm Magic
04:10
|
|||
I'm magic, I made that happen
See the water that comes from the fountain
See the apple that fell from the tree
That was me - obviously
The Lights turn on when I go by
The doors are creaking their own lullaby
Dog are howling all over town
Things are weird when I'm around
Remember back in '82, you had that special pair of shoes
Well hop - scotching down the street
Your shoes are magically on my feet
Hop scotching to the beat - Your shoes are magically on my feet
Coincidence? I think not
A talking point? I'd rather not
I cant explain it, it's always been there
Hair standing - or standing on your hair
Hair standing - or standing on your hair

Mr Walker
07:06
|
|||
I'm happy, you can't hurt me, can't change a thing - a ring a ding ding
Oh Mr Walker, Mr Walker tell the truth
Oh Mr Walker, did you check the water was it deep
Oh Mr Walker, how many souls does it take to stay afloat
Oh Mr Walker, you got your hirsute wrapped up inside your coat
You've got some big boots on
You're pulling hair out by the roots
Our station is protected, your standings further down the line
The pleasure is all ours, your talkings taking up our time
We're moving out of limits, we're rising higher than before
I'm Happy, you can't hurt me, can't change a thing - a ring a ding ding

Sooner or Later
05:03
|
|||
Sooner or later, you'll be home with a hand to hold
You're such a big mover, around the world in twenty blows
Six degrees of separation, it's never enough, you'll never know
Looking at the picture. Dust to dust and a valley of bones.
It's time to go back, back to where time goes slow and it glows on low
Take me right back, back to where we're flowing
Flowing on down your time line
Dusted off pure, clean and clear
Down and deep and dirty with the seeds in your hand
In your fist, on your knees on the ground
Sooner or later, you'll be heading down the road
Better late than never, you hear the sound of a golden tone
You take a turn with hesitation, close your eyes and go with the flow
It's all you ever wanted. A steady arm and a hand to hold.

Talk About It
04:01
|
|||
We heard about it heard about it
We read about it read about it
We talk about it talk about it
Now we write about it write about it
We dream about it dream about it
Yeah we're all about it all about it
And we're thinking 'bout it thinking 'bout it
All of the time
WE were warned and we were scorned about it
We were moved and we were shaken by it
Transformed and devoured by it
Now we're rising up higher from it
Blinded by the light of it
We learned and we got wise about it
And we're thinking 'bout it thinking 'bout it
All of the time
Now we can't let it go
Don't look back, don't look back
We won't be waiting for the green to go
Don't look back, don't look back
You'll go blind - out of your mind
What I like about it, like about it
I hate about it hate about it
So I laugh about it laugh about it
Then I cry about it cry about it
Can't live without it live without it
I'd die without it doe without it
Yeah I'm thinking 'bout it thinking 'bout it
All of the time

The Buzzin' Bees
05:37
|
|||
Oh those bees those bees are buzzin' again
So loud so free dive bombing my friends
The flowers in the field are filled with a natural pollen
That moon that moon is coming again
So soon so soon I can't be your friend
I'm gunna move downtown, gunna chew that bone of contention
I'll probably loose my clothes in this age of conservation
Do do do do, do do do do......
We swing we swing we swing it on down
We slide we slide we slide to the ground
From tavern to cavern, I'm loosing my grip at the station
We buzz, we buzz we're buzzin' around
We sing, we sing, we sing to the sound
Of a thousand busy bees who are moving in cooperation
But I'm still acting like an ape till some monkey come take my place
Do, do, do, do, do, do do......
Now wait on Just a minute
There's more than the eye can see
You got to drive that path just as strong as you can be
You got to choose that flower from a field of the same to see
Lay on down, buzz around, come on down with me

The Last Song
05:41
|
|||
This could be the last song that she wrote,
Ending on a final single note
This could be the last song that she sings,
Feeling distance driving in between
When the wagon wheel rolls
And the pony pulls the load
Wrapped up in her trinkets and her clothes
Where she goes, nobody knows
There she goes
There she goes
This could be a longer turn around
Hiding out not wanting to be found
This could be her long lost alibi
Leaving words and letters for behind
In a meadow land is where she stays
Where natures love now illuminates
Where breeze and grass and summer rays
Fill the air and fill you mind for days
There she goes
There she goes

Tell me a Story
07:49
|
|||
Tell me that story, how we came to be
Raised up from the ocean, climbed down from the trees
We tripped and we stumbled, heel became a hand
Drawn on by desire, we're creatures of the land
Barefoot and wet grass, shine upon the track
Storm in the mountains, rain upon our backs
All the small faces, staring down the line
Can't become complacent, we've crossed the borderline
Seems such a long time, It's barely there at all
Narrow your perception, this trips become a fall.
Remember that time we, walked across the plains.
We were there with you, I remember your name
And if we all fall down, get back up pretend
That kind of a feeling, bound to come again
And if we all fall down, all fall down

Goldentone
05:59
|
|||
Golden like far away tones, help us we're heading home
We've been away so long, we've been away so long
Sunlight is in your eyes, wild wind is by your side
We've been away so long, we've been away so long
La La La La, La La La La
Guided we never knew him, we had lost our way before
Stage left the lights are fading, script is worn and torn
Page turns and we're running, views not seen before
Journey is unravelling, fast feet but surely sore
Who knows how we got here, who knows why we came
Lift my weight and carry me, carry me
Goldentone
Lift my weigh and carry me, carry me
Goldentone
