Take Me There
04:11

the gentle breeze on your face will please
as we drive into another adventure
a soft touch will not be enough
as we lay down and surrender
on the side of the road we stop to unload
our few meagre possessions
and pitch the tent before heaven’s sent
to share our love’s expressions
I stand still but you take me there
I won’t move but you take me there
no one else can take me anywhere
but your love will always take me there
take me there, take me there
in the morning light your smile is bright
as we think about what the day will bring
we’ll raise a glass as we lay on grass
then walk along the coast and sing
this moment is all because it all could fall
into nothing but a deep dark void
so love and laugh until the very last
we have life to be enjoyed
I stand still but you take me there
I won’t move but you take me there
no one else can take me anywhere
but your love will always take me there
take me there, take me there

phone, it kills my sleep
wake, I see your eyes
smooth arms fall on me
we share a loving song
yeah its crap to get up and ready
and leave you for 8 hours long
I stare into my screen like a jerk
day-dreaming ‘bout our love so true
you know the best thing about going to work
is I get to come home to you
send, symbols of love
break, on the phone to you
when it comes to push ’n’ shove
you’re there, I’ll never be through
lunch time, run for a kiss
to leave again is so hard to do
stare into my screen like a jerk
day-dreaming ‘bout our love so true
you know the best thing about going to work
is I get to come home to you

I Want Love
04:13
|
|||
|
I picked you up from the party
you’d had more than a few
poison ambers and buzzing pills
next morning regret that you do
so the world got to you too?
the pain like a knife in the brain
the filthy air we are breathing
they say ‘don’t go out in the acid rain’
I want love, I want to be happy with everything
I wanna laugh, and make more love
and take away all the stings
and leave only love
Is escaping the only way out?
to clear the fog in your path
only so much fun will bury doubt
that on this earth we were built to last
I don’t like the hard truth either
I wanna run free through the trees
and stop over the ocean for a breather
and forget all the dark and disease
I want love, I want to be happy with everything
I wanna laugh, and make more love
and take away all the stings
and leave only love
lets take this up a notch or two
and be the change we wanna see
we’ll still have fun , me and you
and get down there to party
run together on the beach
dive through waves in the sun
this is a place we can reach
we’ll try to take everyone
I want love, I want to be happy with everything
I wanna laugh, and make more love
and take away all the stings
and leave only love

Whistle
03:54
|

|
When you’re happy or you wanna be
when you lost faith and now you’re free
when you got nothing to say at all
but you still wanna make a call
ah whistle, c’mon whistle, ah ha
on top of a mountain or in a gully
to stop laughing when its so f-ing funny
when you’re just out walking by
don’t dare to wish that you could die
oh no whistle, c’mon whistle, ah ha
if you can’t do it, I’ll teach you
what to do with your tongue
how to hold ya cheeks too
how to curl your lips and feel forever young
oh that’s it, give it a go! oh whistle, c’mon whistle
someone said its the latest cool thing
what to do when you don’t wanna sing
not that easy but its so much fun
whistle my tune if you think you are my one
oh please whistle, c’mon whistle, ah ha
if you can’t do it, I’ll teach you
what to do with your tongue
how to hold ya cheeks too
how to curl your lips and feel forever young
oh that’s it, give it a go! oh whistle, c’mon whistle

Bigger Than All I Know
03:36

like a loyal dog sensing hate
there’s only so much I can take
a mad man mowing down lives
and how do idiots survive?
with all the hate they have hurled
then lead the so-called free world
most of us can’t bear it any more
their level of stupid makes us sore
your love will swallow me whole
on a journey right through your soul
and it is bigger than all I know
for when I’m high and when I’m low
its time to switch off the TV
seeing crazy is never easy
paddle across the ocean wide
but don’t ever leave my side
starting with you I’ll do my best
to face the pain and make it less
to leave this a better place
and hope like hell for the human race
your love will swallow me whole
on a journey right through your soul
and it is bigger than all I know
for when I’m high and when I’m low
oh but for their lives
lived full until taken
its so random who survives
so no one should be forsaken

The Force
03:38
|
|||
|
chasing dreams down rabbit holes
vision changes in the dark
flick the lighter to see the moles
staring blindly at my heart
only pumps my blood for me
thoughts are all up here
I climb up the tree
to look down and laugh at their fear
our hands are locked against the force
of all their words saying its all wrong
they say we won’t run the course
all their words end up like any sad song
I don’t pay the doubter’s debts
they can have their money tree
climb to as high as it gets
find all the leaves fell free
our hands are locked against the force
of all their words saying its all wrong
they say we won’t run the course
all their words end up like any sad song
its only me and you
in our third-world paradise
we know what we need to do
we don’t need any one’s advice

Charmed
04:23

blue eyes roll, look into your soul
they smile for me, so I feel free
to be my self, take me off the shelf
I feel so light, and you’re so right
love your grin, with your sweet chin
it melts my stone, I’m no more alone
and what you say, it makes my day
so I take a big bite, and hold on tight
I feel so charmed
here in your arms
there’s no more harm
now I feel so calm
charmed
the lay of your land, under my hand
all that smooth skin, feel the state I’m in
I can do anything, so I buy you a ring
smiles never end, go again and again
I feel so charmed
here in your arms
there’s no more harm
now I feel so calm
charmed

Another Headline
03:58
|

|
Shattered shells of what were persons float by
on the rivers of perverse dollar bills
what is the point of letting out a big sigh?
no one seems to want to know about all the ills
pillars of propriety love society
and to foist their idiotic beliefs on us
this mysterious entity must favour the US of A
while the rest of the world sit and cuss
another headline to choke on my cereal
killing for a fantasy and getting away with it
for all the spiritual in the ethereal
I feel unmoved and I really don’t get it
I will thicken the walls of my pleasure-dome
to protect my self against my cynicism
these days there are places I won’t roam
the world’s not my oyster, its a dark prism
you may glide through my dreams until I wake
and kiss the salty droplets from my forehead
caress me like a breeze until there begins a quake
without you this life would only be horrid
another headline to choke on my cereal
killing for a fantasy and getting away with it
for all the spiritual in the ethereal
I feel unmoved and I really don’t get it

Little Death
04:07
|
|||
|
Lusty stunts invite distraction
creamy dreamy thighs slide
busty hunter likes satisfaction
a lion standing with his pride
worn out now, need a rest
a soft pillow for a weary head
never forget we reached the crest
of a wave breaking ’til we’re dead
I’m nearly out of breath, wow
you gave me a little death
I’m really out of my depth now
but we gotta have our little death
strum my strings hard babe
until every one is out of tune
drag me into your sweet cave
after the game we will spoon
I’m nearly out of breath, wow
you gave me a little death
I’m really out of my depth now
but we gotta have our little death
my leaves will fall for you
on the ground plant the seed
it seems the best is now due
be my forever met need

She Drops Her Bikini
03:58
|

tumbleweeds blow across my road
I run over another cane toad
the heat melts the long black tar
I thank the air con in my car
its hot in the tropical air
everyone is stripped bare
in the big wide wet cool blue
I think only of loving you
in my dreams…she drops her bikini
she says “now you see me, now you don’t”
in my dreams…she drops her bikini
she says “love what you see, or we won’t”
I stop for a feed and a drink
Its so humid I can’t think
so I take a big gulp for you
and swallow the bitter cold brew
on the road you are all I miss
I can overcome all but this
aching for your gentle touch
too much is not enough
in my dreams…she drops her bikini
she says “now you see me, now you don’t”
in my dreams…she drops her bikini
she says “love what you see, or we won’t”
So up goes the temperature
I count the days until I see her
sexy eyes wearing no disguise
her picture tells no lies

Walk Home
04:37
|
|||
|
Its more of a stumble with the odd trip and fall
a wayward stagger like you don’t care at all
shaking your head through the cold night air
you have one mission and its to get there
the walk home
tomorrow you will draw a blank yet again
the pain was drowned out with whiskey and then
too many pints of that soothing old ale
drinking is one job you never fail
ya work alone
oh you go from feeling so great
to then losing all of your mates
your band and your girl have left so you moan
got nowhere to go, you feel so alone
so walk home, walk home
your mum hosed you down, you were covered in sick
you’re like an old wino but only 26
so much to live for, more music to make
more love to give and hearts to break
so walk home
oh you go from feeling so great
to then losing all of your mates
your band and your girl have left so you moan
got nowhere to go, you feel so alone
so walk home, walk home
I love you to pieces but I hurt with your tears
I wish you could leave behind all of your fears
stop and accept some instruction
you cannot take more destruction
so walk home

Trailblazers
04:22
|
|||
|
we can sink in the lounge chair
swim to the bottom on our backs
we can sit and blankly stare
like a couple of sad sacks
or dream light in through our door
sing tunes into our ears
take our hands and make more
love out of life drying tears
we can be trailblazers
they can be hell-raisers
we can be trailblazers
get out, get out of our way
blow like gales over the ocean
cross bridges over valleys wide
fly like birds in formation
help us get to the other side
but we need to stay
last the distance
find the path
of least resistance
no reason or rhyme to make
freedom from care is dead
give more than you take
don’t keep it all in your head
we can be trailblazers
they can be hell-raisers
we can be trailblazers
get out, get out of our way
