WAITING FOR COMPANY
Thunder and lightning and I am home alone again
Rain is beating against the window pain
Don't feel like hanging out on the deck today
The clouds rolled in and the sun just faded away
Getting tired of staring at the computer screen
Don't want to be in the library
I just sitting here by the old log fire
Me and Mr Ballantynes whiskey
I am two times waiting for some company
Too many days I have been alone this week
I am two times waiting for some company
Wont somebody drop by and set me free, let me be
I cannot wait to have my friends here with me
Share the spoils of youth and the scenery
the kids are crawling all over the guitar case
Man there are having a good time today, but not me
Two times waiting for some company
Too many days I have been alone this week
Two times waiting for some company
Wont somebody drop by and set me free, please
Now I am sharing the company of my TV
I am getting tired of the rehearsed insanity
Lights in the drive way lift me from my apathy
My love will be home and I will be set free
Coz I am
Sitting here by the old log fire with a head full of hope and heart full of desire and I missed you baby I am so glad that you are home,
I am tired of hanging around here on my own

TOOTHLESS GRIN
Sad sad Monday, walking around a sad sad town
It was supposed to be a set up day, now it all seems to be falling down
Sometimes it seems you never can win, No matter how hard you try
The scenery has had a change, It don't seem right as I go driving by
Time to rebuild this part of town,
Bricks and mortar can come alive
Theres a gap at that corner now
But old thoughts will survive
I am walking down the mainstream to the harbour downtown
Its a bit like a toothless grin, where buy our newspapers from now?
Chasing memories down at Devils Gap, How do we create some more?
Feeling the tragedy of how it was, saw the ship laid up on the shore
Watched the breakers from across the leads
stared at the lighthouse on the hill
If its a beacon that lights the way
May the light keep shining still
I am walking up the mainstream, to the harbour down town
Its bit like toothless grin, gonna miss that downstairs lounge
I am waking down the mainstream to the harbour down town
Its a bit like a toothless grin, where do we get our meds from now?
Now it looks like a combat zone and Wire would be appalled
So glad you made it out tip toeing out the back door
Flames will be replaced by hope, the afterglow by the rise of dawn
There is a hole on this town, but this town, will smile forever more
This town, this town will smile forever more, more
Smile, smile, smile forever more
I am walking up the mainstream to the harbour down town
Its a bit like a toothless grin, who's gonna wear that thorny crown?

STRANGER IN TOWN
There is a stranger on the edge of this town
Moonlight is on the rise but a fog is coming down
I see a black dog standing in the middle of the road
I watch as a tramp walks by and the dog follows him home
No matter where he goes his shadow grows
As the leaves fall from the trees in the gutter down below
The man walks with a shuffle, a losers gate
He is avoiding the cracks in the sidewalk
and counting his steps as he goes
He used to live in a two storey Californian bungalow
He existed with his trophy wife 4 kids and a Holden Monaro
Now the wife and the kids they have all left home
He has too he just doesn't seem to know
There is a stranger in your hometown
He is looking for a sign trying to find his way home
There is a stranger in your hometown
He lives down by the river and he's been to the crossroads
And the former queen of hearts who thought she was such a catch
She had her way had her day and is still looking for her perfect match
This is the hand that he was dealt
he does not care and if he does he does not show it
He held all of the trumps but somehow still managed to blow it
There is a full moon on the rise on the edge of the city
On the streets a revolution they have ice in their veins
Well the lights are on but going out and there aint nobody at home
They have no soul they have no control
As the hustlers work the streets with their false tongues and alibis
They always seem to get their way even though we know they are lying
Well he don't see the point in talking,
He would rather just sing his song
Sometimes though he really does wonder where the hell to all went wrong.
He is a stranger in his hometown
Looking for a sign trying to find his way home'
He is a stranger in his hometown
lives down by the river and he has been to the crossroads

Island nights
04:13
|
|||
The town sits in the hill behind the harbour and the bay.
The roaring forties roam the streets and the alleyways
The beach sand has all been washed away
Rocks line the shore where there were no obstacles before
The home and the acreage lie further on
Where the windmill turns in the summer sun
The grass is grey that was once green
The stock and the wildlife are all green
Water no longer runs in the steam
On those coastal tracks, on those Island nights
I get so tired of driving, I get so tired of fighting
On those coastal tracks, on those King Island nights
The full moon and tide make the ocean sing, ain't love a curious thing?
Hammock rolling idly in the sun
Waiting to be filled by anyone
The dust from the truck well it clouds the view
From the empty porch that knew the youth
From the innocent eyes that hid the truth
On those coastal tracks, on those Island nights
I get so tired of driving I get so tired of fighting
On those coastal tracks, on those King Island nights
Headlights break the dawn on the coastal scrub,
Morning times the time for moving on....
