Love Me Tender
Elvis Presley
Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling, I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling, I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me, dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
'Til the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For, my darling, I love you
And I always will

Slow Ride
Bonnie Raitt
Feels like nothin happens fast enough
Well maybe I just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, Baby
Nothin feels right.

I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin but time.

Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride.

Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind.

We'll forget about tomorrow, Baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, Darlin
In the dashboard light.

Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride

Neil Young
After The Gold Rush

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree

There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze

Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high

I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home

They formed in 1976, were big over here but didn’t crack the world stage.

The Butcher and Fast Eddy
Rose Tattoo
It happened in the suburbs north of the river
Where the smokestacks scrape the air
And gangs of short haired boys roam the streets
Get out of there way, 'cause there out to get there share

Now Butcher, he was the leader
Had a reputation for being tough but fair
He knew life was just a gamble
So he lived from day to day without a care

Stick around and I'll tell ya
About Butcher and Fast Eddy

Across the river lived Fast Eddy
He was known to be treacherous, very mean
Even Eddy's sweet young sister out on the streets
Just a girl, barely fifteen

Now Fast Eddy, he led the rival gang
And he claimed he was better... than most
One day I'm gonna fix that Butcher
Always seemed to be this cocky braggart's boast

There's only the quick and the dead
I wanna know who's layin' down

Now, I'm gonna win this fight said Eddy
Yeah...'cause I'm gonna take a knife, and I'm gonna take a gun
But Butcher, he told his mates as they gathered 'round
I got two good fists, and you know I never...
Never ever ever been afraid of anyone

And it came the night, at last for their meeting
I can't lose said Eddy, 'cause I'm the best
But the cold light of morning found Eddy
His own switchblade knife... buried deep in his chest!

Yeah that's it all... Oh-WOW Butcher, and Fast Eddy
Yeah that's it all

And the law never did touch Butcher
And I'm so glad, 'cause I know so well
He was a born with a wild free spirit, and he never...
He never was the kind to live locked up in some dirty stinkin' cell

And the kids, they still talk about it
In the back streets and alleyways around town
They still talk about that cold, windy Saturday night
That old Butcher... ya know, he put Fast Eddy down...

Talk of the Town
John Farnham
The sun goes down on a cloudless sky
The tide is in, the water's high
The fisherman are back in town
Tonight they'll either drink or drown

Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town
Goin' 'round

If you're ever in that Gulf country
Strangest land you'll ever see
The sun's so hot the ground's on fire
Thermometer won't go no higher

Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town
It's goin' 'round

If you want to lose those lonely blues
You best put on your dancing shoes
The ringers make for the water hole
Tonight the town will rock 'n roll

Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town
Goin' 'round
Oh, yeah

Murray knows this ancient land
Like the back of his own hand
See the brolga on the plain
Thousands dancing, bring the rain

And that rain coming down
Hear that rain what a mighty sound
It's the talk of the town
It's coming down

You see that rain coming down
Hear that rain what a mighty sound
It's the talk of the town
It's coming down
Oh coming down
Rain coming down
Oh yeah

Don't you know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper

Talking about a revolution?

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh

I've been standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no

I Still Pray
Kasey Chambers
I still cry for baby Jesus
And I still pray when I'm alone
And when I'm lost
He'll come to find me
Because He died to save my soul

When I can't walk, He's there to carry
When I speak, He hears my words
When I wake and I have nothing
He sends me Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh

Oh, I still cry for baby Jesus
And I still pray when I'm alone
And when I'm lost
He'll come to find me
Because He died to save my soul

When I cry my tears of sorrow
When my heart will only ache
And if I'm troubled when I'm sleeping
He will hold me until I wake

Oh, I still cry for baby Jesus
And I still pray when I'm alone
And when I'm lost
He'll come to find me
Because He died to save my soul

Because He died to save my soul
Because He died to save my soul

Journey Through the Past
Neil Young
When the winter rains come pouring down
On that new home of mine
Will you think of me, and wonder if I'm fine?
Will your restless heart come back to mine
On a journey through the past?
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?

Now I'm going back to Canada
On a journey through the past
And I won't be back 'til February comes
"I will stay with you, if you'll stay with me"
Said the fiddler to the drum
And we'll keep good time on a journey through the past

When the winter rains come pouring down
On that new home of mine
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin, it's so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around

'Cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing
On the ground

And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go

And I gotta peaceful, easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing (ooh)
On the ground

(Ooh) I get this feeling I may know you
(Ooh) as a lover and a friend
(Ooh) but this voice keeps whispering in my other ear, tells me

I may never see you again
'Cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing
I'm already standing

Yes, I'm already standing on the ground

Hold On to Me
The Black Sorrows
We were dead on arrival
Safe home at last
No canonfire dockside
No flags half mast

We were sold out for silver
And a string of black pearls
On the loneliest island
At the edge of the world

Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the life boat
You can hold on to me

Now the voyage is over
We're back on dry land
In our eyes are the stories
The rope and the brand

This Land Is Your Land
Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me, a voice was a-sounding
This land was made for you and me

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
Sign was painted, said, "Private Property"
But on the back side, it didn't say nothing
This land was made for you and me

When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice come chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

Great Southern Land
ICEHOUSE
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

Great Southern Land
Burned you black

So you look into the land, it will tell you a story
Story about a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking, like I do
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way?

Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
You walk alone
Like a primitive man
And they make it work
With sticks and bones
See their hungry eyes
It's a hungry home

I hear the sound
Of the strangers' voices
I see their hungry eyes
Their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
They burned you black
Black against the ground

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere, I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

Great Southern Land
In the sleeping sun
You walk alone
With the ghost of time
Well, they burned you black
Black against the ground
And they make it work
With rocks and sand

I hear the sound
Of the strangers' voices
I see their hungry eyes
Their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land

You walk alone
Like a primitive man
You walk alone
With the ghost of time
And they burned you black
Yeah, they burned you black

Sky Pilot
The Animals
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.

Sky pilot... Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.

He smiles at the young soldiers tells them it's all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry.

Sky pilot... Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.

He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he's still behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate

As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said.

Sky pilot... Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.

You're soldiers of God you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tell.

In the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A soldier so I'll looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words
"Thou shalt not kill"

Sky pilot... Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never reach the sky.

Sky pilot... Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never reach the sky.
You'll never reach the sky.
You'll never reach the sky.
You'll never reach the sky.
You'll never reach the sky.

Great instrument

Blue Sky Mine
Midnight Oil
There'll be food on the table tonight
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

My gut is wrenched out, it is crunched up and broken
My life that is lived is no more than a token
Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why

If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence
The screen is no comfort, I can't speak my sentence
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

The candy store paupers lie to the shareholders
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night

And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won't save me
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
And if walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing's as precious as a hole in the ground

Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
We got nothing to fear

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility

'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man
He's singing songs of love

Great song

Band of Gold
Freda Payne

Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you are still here with me

You took me from the shelter of my mother
I had never known or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me

Oh, don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before?

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold...

And Your Bird Can Sing"
The Beatles

You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen Seven Wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round

When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be 'round, I'll be 'round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head
B.J. Thomas
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head and they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
He's sleepin' on the job
And those raindrops are fallin' on my head and they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the RAIN by complainin'
Because I'm free

You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh, oh oh

Talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk, hey!
I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so, oh oh
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I seek the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the coldest quotient
Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
It's just a little rain, oh, oh, ooh, yeah

I know I was born to die
But I hate to leave my children cryin'

Yo’ mother treated me, children, like I
Was her baby child
Was her baby child
Yo’ mother treated me, like I
Was her baby child
That's why's I tried so hard
And come back home to die

So many nights at the fireside
How my children's mother would cry
How my children's mother would cry
So many nights at the fireside
How my children's mother would cry, yeah
'Cause I told the mother I had to say goodbye

Look over yonder
On the buryin' ground
On the buryin' ground
Look over yonder
On the burying ground
Yon' stand ten thousand
Standin' still to let me down, yeah

Your Song
Elton John
It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, ha
But then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My GIFT is my song, and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
This is the song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Safe in the Arms of Love
Wild Choir

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair

I need somebody who really cares

So tired of livin' solitaire

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow

Love is a high-wire act I know

Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

Love

I want a heart to be forever mine

Want eyes to see me satisfied

Gonna hang my heartache out to dry

Some day I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me

Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

Love

Darling Be Home Soon
The Lovin' Spoonful
Come and talk of all the things we did today
Hear and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave

But darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now a quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

So darling, my darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's okay to shoot the moon

Darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Trucker Speed
Fred Eaglesmith
I got her letter in an old mail box
I forgot I had at a little truck stop
And I read it once, and then I read it again
I could hardly keep from cryin'

I've been drivin' around the last week or so
With an empty truck, I don't have a load
And I don't care 'cause to tell you the truth
I think I might be dying

And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
Percocets, amphetamines
Black beauties and West Coast turnarounds
When the coast is clear, I drive with my knees
I mix it all up like a recipe
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

At the side of the road, he said you're a mess
When I told him she didn't leave an address
Then he got another call said wait right here
I'll be back in a little while

I put my head across my arms
Slept on the wheel for an hour or more
And I started it up and took off into the night

And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
Percocets, amphetamines
Black beauties and West Coast turnarounds
When the coast is clear, I drive with my knees
I mix it all up like a recipe
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

I've been high-centered, low throttle
When I couldn't stop, I peed in a bottle
I've been so lonesome I made Hank Williams
Look like a party of five

I've been beat up, broke down
Loaded on a truck and driven into town
I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line
I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line

And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
Percocets, amphetamines
Black beauties and West Coast turnarounds
When the coast is clear, I drive with my knees
I mix it all up in a recipe
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

Only the Lonely
Roy Orbison
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You gotta take

If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Getting to Know You
Rodgers & Hammerstein
ANNA

(Spoken) It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.

(Singing) As a teacher I've been learning --
You'll forgive me if I boast --
And I've now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.

(Spoken) Getting to know you.

(Singing) Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

ANNA AND THE MOTHERS

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,

ANNA

My cup of tea.

ALL

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is
Chicago
As I was walkin' down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch? Yeah
I said

(I don't) does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care about time) does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me
And said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said

(I don't) does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care about time) does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day (people runnin' everywhere)
Being pushed and shoved (don't know where to go)
By people trying to beat the clock (I don't know where I am)
Although, I just don't know (I can't see past the next step)
I don't know, I don't know (don't have time to see past the last snow)
And I said (you have no time to look around, they just run around and run around)
Yes, I said (and see what?)

(I don't) does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care about time) does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to die

Everybody's worryin' (I don't care)
I don't care
(About time) about time
(Oh no, no) I don't care

By A Fire Of Gidgee Coal
Slim Dusty
By a warm electric heater and a softly padded chair
In a lounge room brightly lighted by a glowing chandelier
Since my early days of drovin' the years have taken toll
But I somehow miss my swag wrap by a fire of Gidgee coal

When I wake from sleep each morning and I ring the bedside bell
The maid brings in my breakfast and she fills my pipe as well
There are cakes and sweetened coffee on a tray of sparkling gold
But I miss black tea and damper by a fire of Gidgee coal

I am driven' out each evening by a chauffeur spruce and neat
Through the flowered parks and gardens and the crowded city streets
But I drift back through the ages while the big CAR softly rolls
To a stock route and a wagonette and a fire of Gidgee coal

I attend all social parties in the rich parts of the town
Drinking wine from fancy glasses as the waiters go their rounds
But I'd rather share a bottle with those drovin' mates of old
In a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of Gidgee coal
In a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of Gidgee coal

Tell Laura I Love Her
Ricky Valance
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
'Round the TRACK they drove at a deadly pace

No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

And in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her

Bullfrog Blues

Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,
Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,
Sit there laughin',
Laughin' just to keep from crying.

My father got em,
My sister got em,

My grandmother had them too,

He looked inside his bag and said,
"Well, well"....

You don't need no doctor,
You don't need no pill,
You don't need no doctor,
You don't need no pill.

Just take my advice,
It'll surely cure your ills.

Head on down to New Orleans,
Prettiest place you ever seen,
Get on down to the river bend,
That's where the music never ends.

Open your ears,
Don't you feel good?
Get yourself one helluva shot of rhythm 'n' blues.

Go on down to new Orleans,
The greatest place you ever been,
Head on down to the river bend,
Dig the music of the Cajun bands,
Honky-tonk piano,
Make you feel good,
Open your ears,
To rhythm 'n' blues.

Well, did you ever wake up,
With them bullfrogs on your mind?
Well, did you ever wake up,
With them bullfrogs on your mind?

You had to sit there laughin',
Laughin' just to keep from crying.

Well, did you ever wake up,
With that one woman on your mind,

With that one woman on your mind,

You had to sit there laughing,
Laughing just to keep from crying.

Burn for You
John Farnham
Got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feelin' blue
It's been so long
Since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you

That voice you showed me is not the one that I know
I must be strung out, on what I do
Don't hang up again
There's nothing else I know how to do

But I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
Burn for you

I guess it feels like you're always alone
And I feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do

I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
I burn for you
Burn for you

Took my trouble to a bar tonight
For another point of view
But there's nothing new
I'm missing you

I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
Burn for you
Burn for you

I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
I burn for you

Burn for you
What am I gonna do?
I burn for you
Burn for you

Burn
For
You
