Rosalee can’t you see that you were meant for me,
can’t you see that you were meant for me
Rosalee, I want thee in a caravan with me,
I want you in a caravan with me
Gypsy Rosalee please run away with me, Gypsy Rosalee make sweet love
Gypsy Rosalee please run away with me, just take my hand and run away
Rosalee dance for me on a stage for me to see,
Dance for me carefree on a stage oh yeah
Rosalee, seriously, I didn’t know there was a fee,
I didn’t know that there was a fee!
Gypsy Rosalee please run away with me, Gypsy Rosalee make sweet love
Gypsy Rosalee please run away with me, just take my hand and run away

Before I Die

The Dirty Dolphin, a place for those, with bad intentions and those who pray
Like desperate people, and Mantis too
And she walks in with tactile features, I’m hard as Japanese math and oh
I’m just thinking about – what is there left?
Before I die, I just want to be someone’s cavalry oh yeah
If God’s a loser then what does that mean for our mediocrity?
And what ya doing? I hear you say, I’m making choices every day and oh,
I’m just kidding myself, that freedom’s really at play
The Dirty Dolphin the place it is, for turning your cold hard cash into piss
And sharing the ubiquitous, brokenness
Before I die, I just want to be someone’s cavalry oh yeah
If God’s a loser then what does that mean for our mediocrity?

Bobby and the Black Dog
05:07
|

One foot out the door, back in, just wait,
Thoughts tossed like boomerangs lined with lead plate, dead weights, dead weights
Bobby wanted more, wanted less, wanted both
But whatever the case he would still be himself and that’s the curse, yeah that’s the curse
Even now, the cloud’s outside the window
Vampires sing, with patience left to burn,
Even now, the Black Dog starts to howl
Wasn’t always this way, suppose it grew from a pup
Remember glowing like cigarettes and laughing like Punch and then the crunch,
… then the crunch
Dad says it happens every 10 years or so,
Time to learn about Jesus and Mary and co. so, there we go, there we go
Even now, the cloud’s outside the window
Vampires sing, with patience left to burn,
Even now, the Black Dog starts to howl
Bobby’s going mainstream, choosing weapons, making plans
Embracing the First World, give it to the man, the fucken’ man,
He says give it to the man
He says I’d do that, or I’d buy it the choices are lean
Tell me what do I put on my record machine? And then dream, and then dream
Even now, the cloud’s outside the window
Vampires sing, with patience left to burn, even now, the Black Dog starts to howl

Refugee

Where do we go from here, haven’t been home in years?
Blood on my memory haunting me with fears
Ghosts are everywhere screeching in my ears
Do this and do that I’m not a child don’t you hear?
I soared across the sky in a giant bird,
And leave behind a thousand-years of love, I must be heard
Oh why? Did I have to run away oh tell me why
Did I lose my family oh tell me why?
Where do we go from here, feeling so useless here?
Strange faces try to take my kids away I fear
I tried to cook today; my kitchen cried in vain
Nothing is working so tired of the pain
I soared across the sky in a giant bird,
And leave behind a thousand-years of love, I must be heard
Oh why? Did I have to run away oh tell me why
Did I lose my family oh tell me why?

Gonna speak up more, in my own town
Gonna march to the Radical Centre exposing the clowns
Gonna jump, jump, jump in my Reeboks and strum my guitar
Place a tape right in my boombox and play Edwin Starr
Gotta learn some empathy you fuckers
Gonna crash, crash, crash and burn just like the others
You think you’re so smart just like the baby Jesus
I’ve got news for you that no one wants to see you
And I’m calling on my mobile just can’t pick it up
Motorola MTR 9500 incredible stuff
Gonna speak right up in my hometown
I’m gonna march to the Radical Centre exposing the clowns
Gotta learn some empathy you fuckers
Gonna crash, crash, crash and burn just like the others

You Won't Escape My Love

Hey, I’m your trusty Doctor; Doctor Love Philosophy
Don’t need no 2nd opinion, diagnoses for free
Confidentiality, your privacy assured
Let’s get down to some fixin’, when I shut the doors
Turn out the lights, don’t breathe
You won’t escape my love, you can hide out in the heavens above
Stay up all night but you won’t escape my love
You won’t escape my love, you can hide out in the heavens above
Stay up all night but you won’t escape my love
Hey, I’m your trusty builder, fixing things around the house
When your taps start a dripping baby, you just lie down on the couch
I’ve got many specialist tools, just gotta plug them in
Just turn off that Oprah, and let the fun begin
You won’t escape my love, you can hide out in the heavens above
Stay up all night but you won’t escape my love
You won’t escape my love, you can hide out in the heavens above
Stay up all night but you won’t escape my love

The Next Step

There’s a light that shines, just before you die
And it feels so right and then you say goodbye
Goodbye for what it’s worth, maybe there’s more than this Earth
Perhaps a vision, a sweet light, that makes everything alright
‘Til then I’ll listen to the sea and love will find a way to guide me
I’ll have myself some tea and listen to a symphony
It’s a feeling that’s so at home, yet I feel so alone
But I got some pretty, cyber friends, but they’re not here and I’m not there
I wanna be so snug and so calm so I can’t feel the storm
So stoic and so introspective, I wanna be full of rational compassion
‘Til then I’ll have myself some tea and listen to the symphony
I’ll listen to the sea and love will find a way to guide me

Thanks a lot
I drive along and I whistle happy tunes, Frank Sinatra and that jazz sounds so cool
But in the distance, I can hear a car that looms, a P plate driver right up my ass full of hoons
Well now thanks for your intrusion well I’m so glad that you’re here,
There must be millions born every single year
I try to see the glass not empty try to smile be full of cheer
But you just make me want to poke your eye out – with a spear
I’m at the footy and I cheer along with Ben,
The sun is shining, and the Hawks will win again (of course)
The bloke next to me is so pissed he can barely see,
He swears and wets his pants and says “Hey, are you looking at me?”
Well now thanks for your intrusion well I’m so glad that you’re here,
There must be millions born every single year
I try to see the glass not empty try to smile be full of cheer
But you just make me want to poke your eye out – with a spear
Well there’s a dark side of the way you trash your lives
You lose your jobs and you bash your wives
Why do you do it is it in your blood?
Can we help have you had enough?
Do you feel so alone? Do you feel so alone? Do you feel it, do you feel so alone?
I’m coming home from work the train chugs along the track
A big fat lady farts and a bloke slobbers down my back
But it’s all perfect ‘til the next person alights,
And two drunk men get on, light smokes and pick fights
Well now thanks for your intrusion well I’m so glad that you’re here,
There must be millions born every single year
I try to see the glass not empty try to smile be full of cheer
But you just make me want to poke your eye out – with a spear

Song of Sadness
03:44

All my memories laid bare nowhere to run
Comparing with my early dreams and hopes it seems
That trauma is the ghosts of life so unresolved
I’m searching for the antidote of death itself
So lonely, I’m crying, so deep, I fall
I call my congregation to summon
My soul, my heart, my inner strength won’t listen
Fidelity of friendship, my longing
But dark clouds toil and crush my resistance
So lonely, I’m crying, so deep, I fall
But I’m not only marching with the cowards
I’m carrying the banner for the whole show
Some say it’s in romantic love or God herself
And when I die, I’ll look just like my decisions
So lonely, I’m crying, so deep, I fall
So lonely, I’m crying, so deep, I fall

Twilight Zone
14:49

She’s here again, she’s in his head,
invades his domain, she wants him dead
She’s been here before, on her mission of pain
His heart through the floor, their tears like rain
He’s living in a Twilight Zone
surrounded by friends but he’s on his own
It’s out of his hands he can’t let them down
The identity bands and the short white gown
People of science are charged with the task, we must form an alliance
Avoid the grasp, the Reaper’s grasp
His mind must be clear, but his senses lose sharpness
Cold absence of fear, some light in the darkness
He’s living in a Twilight Zone
surrounded by friends but he’s on his own
It’s out of his hands he can’t let them down
The identity bands and the short white gown
A cure arrives in the form of infusion, attached to a pump,
It provides the solution, of life-giving poison his body despise
Forced through his veins the sickness arises toxic yet pure
It’s chilled through his core, he absorbs the cure ‘til he can’t take anymore
To its insidious infection, he’s an unwilling host,
But in the mirror’s reflection, he sees a ghost
With the needles and tubes, he lies alone
Surrounded by Angels, the Twilight Zone
He’s living in a Twilight Zone
surrounded by friends but he’s on his own
It’s out of his hands he can’t let them down
The identity bands and the short white gown
