1. Not All Wanderers.
I hear a scurry on the ground
Red dust in the air
The monitor escapes from not only me
But the heat which is all around
And its gotten so hot
Sweat down my back
But the air is already so full of sweat
Its like me and has no where to go
I here this crack thunder storm ahead
My only shelter is this little caravan
Ten thousand volts above my head
Not all that glitters is made of gold
Not all thats earned is brought and sold
But now your so far away is that the cost
Because dont you know
that not all wanderers are lost
So much trouble around us
Like a calm island in a turbulent sea
Have a look around as soon as you touch down
See how damaging generalising can be
So mush trouble I know
or is it all misunderstood
your lies feed me before I arrive
Judgmental attitudes wont get past the cover of any book
2. We All Bleed.
We all bleed blood,
and it all looks the same
spilled on the grass,
dark red stain.
Rich man poor man
Man with an ugly face
Tall man small man
all have their place
White man black man
Yellow and green side
All the colours drifting away
Thats your colour and pride
So come together
Just for a while
Where everyone is equal
Everyones the same
Ch.
All this fighting worlds colliding
Where to look, you know were all the same
Need some relief from the constant crying
Grass dirt or mud We all Bleed blood.
Some men have shadows
That follow them around
But shadows fade
Walk on the ground
And I stare at a pool of blood
On the grass
You cant tell where its been
What its done or its past
Wars of religion
So many lost sons
Here is a battle no lives lost
Our feet are our guns
3. Punishment
Wake up in pool of sweat, the fan stops ticking above my head power on power off.
Go to the kitchen to get some food fix me and fix my mood but the powers off.
Go to the fridge to get some bread or some cool water to sooth my head but the powers off.
Cant turn on the television turn it on to stop me from thinking.
So I walk across hard wood floors then to the neighbour with a call but she looks cold and says to me.
That some poor soul has lost control and is half way up a power pole trying to end his life. So theyve turned the power off.
Suddenly appliances seem no good anymore.
And whatever he has done wrong it shouldnt be forever gone.
Its so so sad. Water and sand I dont understand where does hope go.
Its so so sad, gone longer than time does water surround a mind
and the punishment and the punishment dont fit the crime
I dont dare to tread outside
What can a stranger do for fear or pride
Stare at the ocean no where to go
The dogs start barking they sense the trouble.
I dont understand.
I dont understand where hope can run from a man
I dont understand where hope can Slip through fingers like fingers through sand
Power off powers power off, life on for now.
4. Villain.
When he first walked into your world Mind wide open but dreaming of a girl
He thought he knew what he was looking for but like a moth attracted by the light.
So a change to the change and his here again man not what he can do but what he can say
Villain to hero in just one week I said Ill bring you to your knees
Villain to hero in just one week I said Ill go and now Ill fly his own way
Fly my, own way,
The welcome mat into your world like a bed of nails and all you crave is sleep
The difference between you and me is like fire and ice
5. I Do What I Want.
Iv been so cold, so cold I could have gone mad
as mad as one twenty one Wayne clouds
But there was some sun , some sun but I think it was you
Lighten up all my days, even in a dark town
So much on my mind, where to go, what to do where to be
Now I stare over Blue sea, and it sounds like you
I do what I want
I do it every single day
But what I really want is
Some people got change, I dont
I just play this old harmonica all day
You dont have money worries when you aint got no money
All I need is some food, boots a guitar but
I saw a couple kissing at the airport
Like you and me, kissing so passionately
Departure lounge has so many tears even down the runway
Is that why they call it a runway because its for run running away
I do what I want.
I do it every single way
I do what I want. But what I really want is you
What I really want is you
6. Woman
I woke up this morning and the sun it shinning got this whole bit in my world how could I be describing, all the love in the world keeps me bounding
So the day rolled on like it was any other when I get this call from my older brother, he said hey man do you wanna get on it? have a bit of drink and create a bit of havoc.
Well my baby she lives in the same area so I might strive so at the the end of this long drive and jump around like a big family
But as a arrive at my destination I feel this warm growing sensation of good times not of alone ship but of this growing relationship
But did I create it into something that just did not fit
Into her personality and the restrictions upon conformity
But I dont care she is an entity
Ch
Oh no and I said Woman- oh man,
Because I cant stop to get you out of my head
The further away I get.
Well we meet we greet on the way back of Lygon St. before we start we should get something to eat, nice filling healthy Im thinking Italian nice and healthy but still reasonably cheap.
So we get about half way down and oh my baby she has this frown
A day older, a day colder? One more step now its the cold shoulder
Then the waiter comes to me and said, do you want your serving of confusion?
And I said hey man dont you realise I just want anything warmer than my babys eyes.
The further away I get
Night rolled on oh the night rolled on. Every time I try to act cool I end up loves fool.
One week later I get this call and I can tell that my baby she aint happy at all
She says to me so quietly. Its not you its me.
Well I can tell you something baby if it is anyone at least I know it is me
So I welcome it back once again so I pick up my guitar and play some blues music my old friend
And I said
I cant stop to get you out of my head The further away I get.
6. So Long
Some times I can get thoughts through an islet
Nobody can understand malnutrition of my wallet
From the first time I heard how streets go hmm bop
stayed the same but to me like the world stopped.
Thoughts and confusions rattle like an emergency
Some conversations leave me dry behind uncertainties
So look after the music and itll look after you
I owe so much so
Ive been waiting for so long
To know where all this comes from
Build up frustrations
But it feels so good it cant be all wrong
What will what will pick us up
What will what will keep us up . .
Sometimes I gotta get away from this bullshit,
walk shit talk shit just to get along with this bullshit
Have you ever seen somebody polish a terd
Or package up burry something theyve heard
So mainstream thoughts, mainstream sorts
Doesnt worry us will be kicking back on our porch
Build up up up with bricks and ladders
Or knock it down with a verse that shatters
You can write a thousand words in one line
Let it out and let expression be mine
So keep your head up head up keep it up out of water
Just move with me girl let the guitar be the rudder
8. Intro
9. Fire
Breathe in breath in breath
out in and out of your lungs
Your sons eyes look up so inquisitively
as you breathe it in he takes it in like a sponge
you tell me you dont want to be this way
Forced upon you as a child
But one thing Ive learnt from you man
Theres a hell of difference between what you do and what you say
Nice to meet you,
Not to follow,
Put your foot down
But you play with fire you get burnt
Play with fire and youll get burnt
Sell sell sell sell sell
Make some cash this way
Gained from ungainly trust
Not thinking about tomorrow
Only today
But I dont give a fuck what it does to you
Or those guys with lonely lives
One thing I cant handle man
Is watching them walk by with shady eyes
10. Mobadede
I'v been waiting all day just to get outside
But the end of the day comes around like the tide
Lighting comes and shakes my floor maybe itll knock down these prison like doors
The t.v is on but its not my show all it seems to be is death and cop shows
to the cross roads, to the cross roads
Im look back over my shoulder maybe I see
Mobadede, mobadede
After the storm its nice and steamy everythings alive and its the season
that Im breathing.
Even though Im alone whos watching me
You hit him with the left hand not with the right you better stay away Or hell rise up and take you away yeah eh
The t.v is on but its not my show
all it seems to be is death and cop shows
Now I look back over my shoulder
maybe I see
mobadeedee
Running, running,
Music for my sole not my soul for music
1. Hornets Nest.
I know Im not scared of anything
Especially whats passed.
Now I fly back to the same nest
That started this for game.
These little wings dont get you far.
Unless momentum you breath
You dont change do you anyway
But a storm follows a breeze
So you have my number,
just added another list.
Will it make a difference to my life or not
Still wont be apart of this swarm
Im living in a hornets nest, tough living a lie, surly you know.
sheltered from the storm, or is it just morning Due.
Hard to tell when things are so small,
stomped by the sole
of black leather shoes.
floating down
So can you revert this anger.
That has arrived over the years.
This institution founded it.
Can you bring back those tears.
So your living in a hornets nest, tough living a lie, but surly you know.
What your getting in into, why dont you show.
Your side of pain. Maybe itll float.
Into your enemys
And float down
2. Dark Wooden Frames.
15 days without being alone
8,000 thoughts and all I need is pen
Photos of waterfalls and dark water
Stare to long and Ill swim away
Not long now before photos become reality
But your in my soul and I wont forget you love me
Cool hands but such a warm heart
Ill be missing you.
I stare at waterfalls in dark blue waves
Green on black, rocks and fresh water
songwriters who sing hearts on stage
All of these in dark wooden frames
swim away, we could swim away
And we could swim away you want to.
To many times its gone unsaid
To many times I dream but I dont talk
To many times I dream about the future
To many times I forget youre the best
To many times the world calls but the worlds in my bed
Too many times I forget the reason in my head
To many times I fear about our future
To many times I feel Im slipping away
Back to waterfalls and dark blue waves
Green and black and rocks and Fresh water
song writers and there hearts on stage
And we could swim away if you want to.
3. Smiles.
All the time I hoped that you noticed
Time thats missed feels like a stone kiss
And when I get caught right up in the seasons
Songs are cool but Id rather come and see yea
Occasional Journey
To the cloud country
Smiles in my day,
Smile sin my day,
youre the smiles in my day
The smiles in my Day
First time I meet you in a convoy
You hopped in and I though it was random ploy
could relate to your crazy dancing
Its least we know its crazy town we leave in yeah.
Like a passion fruit yeah
Sweeet with seeds to grow.
You go back to where you lay
You aint going crazy
You go back to where yo lay
White sheets curtains surround ya
People poking you with a missing razor
Leg looks an arm with all this atrophy
Left and constricted like a forgotten tourniquet.
You aint going crazy.
Go back to where you lay
4. Penguins
Talking to you on a firework of a night, with many friend of mine
Same conversation same story same song and moving on
And these penguins on the concrete, boasting them selves up all day
Slip slap over a silly mishap, direction gone the wrong way Yeah eh yeah
Then you stare out at home into the stars at night.
And all these little issues that hold and control your mind.
While competitors networking writing scores upon the wall
Then you realise thats there is no game at all
Then you let go
You can break free yeah
You can let go, and you can swim better anyway yeah ehe yeah.
So hold up dont you feed them, As they will take more than they need,
Your life is better than that so watch it grow wherever you seed.
So hold up dont you trail them, they take more than goes around
Your life is better than that so watch them move and follow you around.
5. Let The World Come In.
Now Ive got a story, begging to me, to let the world come in.
Exclamations have always bothered me, I want to let it out, let the world come in.
But these rules of freedom come at a cost, dont want to add to the noise of freedom lost. Rules of freedom lost
So I talk to two mountains tall and kind for some advice at least watch the signs, at least in your mind
Hey Hey Hey Let the world come in- Ive been somewhere where, where the worlds calm.
These mountains led me to a closed box, only way out, snake chords to VoX,
The weather added tension, ever going to rain. Ever going to rain.
Taking so long the grindstone wore out of I stop the rose smell just left me with a blunt snout. Grind stone gone
And If clubs and church are high and fat then were down here on the wrong side of the tracks.
HEY HEY HEY.
Inside all is quiet energy released from finger tips,
I look at the mountains they say the path is laid put down to art and just get paid
The Rain is heavier than ever before and the rust that replacing the tin is letting the water in. Dance around a saucepan.
Then the vines out the front cracks the window creeping in everything cracking up and joining in. Then the world comes in. I said hey hey hey.
6. Hunting Ground
I see home, I see home over the water
I see me, I can see me standing there
Now I wait, I wait like the day break
Wait for heart, to rise with sun
Then I get this feeling,
Time to set flight
Time for my heart to be free
along with my mind
When I get home realise I need i
Hold my breathe close my eyes I still breathe it.
My feet and hands they never make a sound
When Im going back home back to my hunting ground.
My hunting ground goes.
I wait, wait like the water,
Looking for the sea to set me free
Its the same every year I know this
But I need to move just like the river sings
City light are all starting to fade
Community life is starting to loose its taste
And if the rivers keep filling like my mind
But if the rivers my blood then let it drain, let it flow from me.
I know you cant control the seasons
The rain fills us every year
first trip memories star running
They catch me and tell me and remind me who I am
