1.Sly
If frisy hair was a metaphor
for festival time
then this woman is a goddess
of that festival shrine, met her
- at a jam
in that garden of sorts
I must confess god bless
some impure thoughts
“show us the money”
was the call of the night
but no money could have bought
even a piece of her pride, there might
have been a sea of people
I don't know, because
all I could see
was how this woman she glowed so
-Aeh it's a pleasure to meet you
ya look like one incredible creature
wanna treat you fine
lets dance and grind
get so funk-inflicted it's a crime
you're divine you're sublime
and well you blow my mind
She caterpillar so good
that all the greeks go “killa”
break and enter take ya like a glass of milk
then “spill ya”
saw her coming what a scene
what I mean is
she got that sex coffee beam
but she tastes like vanilla
well alright she ignite
when we hit the floor
like the vroom on a V8 super commodore
now if it makes a good story
well it's just worthwhile
with her's like dealing stories
in that sprinkla style and so
-Aeh it's a pleasure to meet you
ya look like one incredible creature
wanna treat you fine
lets dance and grind
get so funk-inflicted it's a crime
you're divine you're sublime
and well you blow my mind
2.Lullaby
I cannot say 'oh sweetness'
like he could
and I cannot play a lullaby
like it should
I'll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it's never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
because she's got that torment
to a fine art
smart like a foxy
and craf-ty-as-a-cat
i'm looking up
as i'm lying on my back
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
but she's taken the feast
in the blink of an eye
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
what's going on
- it feels so right
when it seems so wrong
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
- ask what she's schemes
she say 'oh this and that'
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
puts the drum in the drama
the hand in the clap
she's a map with no bearings
attached - no
safety-in-this-match
fire you can't catch
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
then by breakfast honey
we was signed and sworn
I'll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it's never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
'save prayers before dawn'
cos what happens when I'm with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I'm worn out but I'm beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
This game is no game
but it's played all the same
and I love it even
if it makes me deranged
it's like tears in the rain
burning spears in my brain
cause me pain sometimes
make me drained
but I cannot complain
- mad the ugly good and bad
had some happy with my sad
and some tricks in my bag
when it's up run a muck
like a bull that just bucked
when it's down it's a drag
and you fight with no partner to tag
- at times I would dive in the sea
to escape from the rising
and crashing malea
drink tea with a fat fish
and find a golden key
then rise to the surface
and open my baby
and maybe she'd say 'we are crazy'
the two of us together like melbourne weather
be like balls in a maze see
we rolling along in obcurity
but when we meet in the middle
say mmm it's a treat
I'll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
- it might be late but
it's never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
'save your prayers before dawn'
cos what happens when I'm with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I'm worn out but I'm beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
I used to laugh
but now I have to cry
because today my baby tell me
that it's time to say goodbye
ask her 'why what did I do？
You and me we were so sly'
then she sigh 'that's true
we were slinky through and through
but it's sad and it's set
I get high then I get depressed
and I guess when we're together
it's that happy kind of stress'
touching left right down
kiss my finger I reply
'I can't deny you were the best
and by the best I mean the mess you made
I must confess I never
met-a-more sexy maid
that smell like me
so bless your wayward ways
and loving craze and crazy days
and things you'de say
and looks you made
you're not the queen of hearts
you're the queen of spades
and you'de take my breath away
any day that way
so anyway is this the end？
Is this the fifth act of the play？
I kissed her then I turned
and was about to walk away
when I sense a little tingle
that begin down from below
then I hear her with a whisper
'you're the most gullible man I know'
3.Party Started
Ducking out my window double story from the ground
From my hammock down my tree and into Melbourne town
Now first stop hit Kanelata to Tedesco land
To down that show - with 2 shoes and a magic hand man
Now it's a plan as flamenco turns to -down shakin
There's a jazz jam and Julie's got the whole joint bakin'
And anyone who's fakin' gets a quick anihilation
As we movin' destinations on the music train station singing
'On and on and on'. 'on and on and on'
Checkin' checkin' out Mr Askey's song - cos he's
Late sevens' captain-on-the-mic but blows the horn so fierce
That the room ignite
It's like his shuffle got us thinking about dowing the down low
so where we go？
We take the night cat stop for the cabrones show
And here's the point I stop reciting start to dance instead
I heard the city of the deep blue lights it said：
Now get the party started
It wasn't hard... to get the party started
Chillin' at the club, pimpin' with my money -
Well actually, my parties are more like
Chillin' in the sun with tea and milk and honey
Tea and lamingtons, that's my idea of fun
But I do enjoy the odd ocaasional bottle of rum
As we learn in the songs that I have previously sung
When it's done with fruit juice at a barbecue in the sun
If afternoon is begun with kangaroo and capsicum
I do eat meat but I don't like killing
So don't crash my party while I'm sitting back chilling
My oh my why oh why are people so violent
I ani't trying to be a lion I extend my alliance
To anyone who like to just sit back and chitchat
Maybe have a jam, spit scats and eat biscuits
Before you know it's midnight and you're running through the
moonlight
And you realise...
It wasn't hard... to get the party started
The house party started about eleven or so
Got a call from Krido to tell me that
Dubwo and Hendo started it blow by blow
Notw it's a dancehall rockin like a Cuban mojo
So bring ya go-go's and your special friends
I've never been diving but I get the bends
When schlam and Mick and Fairooz making the soul news
See we got the bomb track and the D-floor's the fuse
The C-A-T E-M-P-I-R-E-S G-O-T
A Party H-A-P-P-E-N-I-N-G and it's a
G-O-Double N-A be seeing
The break of dawn
Then keep on rocking it
Can you tell me something about last night？
It wasn't hard... to get the party started
4.Protons, Neutrons, Electrons
I've done too much of some things
And not enough of others
Just like all life lovers
I've changed and changed
and changed and changed
From one thing to another
I've had complicated dealings
With complicated feelings
And I've cut and bruised and torn
I made blinds on the windows of my mind
with the time that my back once wore
I'm a single person in this universe
And I am here to say to you：
On the day that I die I'll just give a smile
And fly into the blue
CHORUS
(Cause we're all just)
Protons, Neutrons, Electrons
That rest on a Sunday
Work on a Monday and someday soon
We'll be singing the old tunes
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-doo
I'll be sitting on the porch with you
Then I'll die and I'll fly off into the blue
Some night I see the world with its winds and its whirls
And I feel undefeated
But every day I see the girl with the strawberry curl
And I'm too shy to meet her
Some nights I go to bed
There's a ghost in the air above my head
And I tremble
Sometimes I eat KFC
Other times I give up meat
And I just eat lentils
I'm a singe person in the universe
And I am here to sing a song
About the day that I was born
Till the day that I'll be gone
And the song won't last for long
(Cause we're all just…)
CHORUS
And enemy is a remedy to a malady in your melody
If you're strong not brittle
And a friend is a friend
Is a friend to the end and it's oh so simple
A man is a man and a woman is a woman
But the times we are living in demand
That a man can change from a man to a woman
And a woman can demand to be a man
We're just flesh with socks and locks and frocks
And I am here to say to you
On the day that I die I'll just give a smile and fly into the
blue
(Cause we're all just…)
CHORUS
5.The Chariot (Havana Version)
This is a song that came upon me
one night
when the news it had been telling me
about one more war and one more fight
and 'aeh' I sighed but then
I thought about my friends
then I wrote this declaration
just in case the world end
Our guns
we shot them in the things we said
ah we didn't need no bullets
cos we rely on some words instead
kill someone in argument
outwit them with our brains
and we'd kill ourselves laughing
at the funny things we'd say
And bombs
we had them saved for special times
when the crew would call a shakedown
we break down a party landmine
women that so sexy
they explode us with their looks
ah we blowing up some speakers
jumping round till the ground shook
And missiles
they were the roadtrips that we launched
t-t-tripping across this island
starting missions at the break of dawn
yawn and smile say
'what direction shall we take？'
'Somewhere where it warm and wet'
this be the route we'd always take and
Our weapons were our instruments
made from timber and steel
we never yielded to conformity
but stood like kings
in a chariot that's riding on a
record wheel
And our airforce flying
when the frisbee in the sky
have a session while we're smoking
now we're feeling extra high
and we'd sneak into a carpark
with the skaties on our back
and we're flying down the levels howling
'on the attack now on the attack'
And battles
they happened in these dancehalls
see we'd rather fight with music
choosing one the rhythm war
battle at these shakedowns
and we battle at these gigs
we do battle in our bedrooms
made some sweet love to the beat
Then our allies grew
wherever we would roam
see whenever we're together
any stranger feel at home
in a way we are an army
but this army not destruct
no instead we're doing simple things
good loving find it run amuck
This be a declaration
written about my friends
it's engraved into this song
so they know I'm not forgetting them
see maybe if the world contained
more people like these
then the news would not be telling me
about all that warfare endlessly and
Our weapons were our instruments
made from timber and steel
we never yielded to conformity
but stood like kings
in a chariot that's riding on
a record wheel
6.Saltwater
I've got the clouds on a string
That I pull with my little finger elegantly
What is this oh what's this music on the breeze
It sounds like all my holidays when my father used to say：
'Let's go down to the beach'
And we'd go down to the beach
My little sisters and me
Sometimes a man can feel like he is just a puppet
And the wind blows him here and blows him there
But when I kiss you my dear
I feel like a buccaneer
And water makes its music everywhere
CHORUS
Saltwater
Oh how I miss your misty kisses
Saltwater
Oh what expressionless bliss
Is this？
I've got the sky in my eyes
As I lie on my back in the deep blue sea
What is this oh what could this strange feeling be？
It feels like：
It feels like：
It feels like：
I don't know what it feels like
But it feels right
Sometimes a man is like an icecream in a desert
And he wonders what is it we seek？
Like water runs through your fingers
Memories rise up from the deep.
CHORUS
7.The Night That Never End
One night when I was sleeping
A gypsy woman sneak into my head
When she said
'I've got a bottle of schnapps
Lets get to know each other drinking
A belly full of laughs
And some thoughts that beyond thinking
Let's play a game of those cards my friend
Because tonight I'm going to show you
How the night it never never never end
Morning is
One thousand drinks away
And our expedition
Telling us to stay
So stay we will we've got that gypsy lady
Perched upon our bow
And the empire ship be heading
Where the wild ones they are now
Oh how the gods look down
And frown at those who never stood and
Said 'my name is no-one'
And went a little mad
And went a little mad
And from time to time
She sneaks back inside me and she say
'Lucky sing the secrets that I taught you always'
Replied 'as long as I am living
I never forget
That the sun is never rising and it never set'
So let's make some fire and smoke and then
We'll go exploring in the night
That never never never end
I've got a tingle in my back
And something sparking in my toes
I get the shivers through my body
When that trumpet blows
And while asleep I am awake
And while awake I am dreaming
Before I start to think
I am scheming
To start a party tonight my friends
Because the woman in my head she said
Tonight is never never never going to end.
8.The Crowd
Lord unchain my hands
Let me sing inside the crowded trams
Let me dance among the traffic jams
We're going to sleep
On the St Kilda sands
Lord unbind my feet
Let me mingle with the good people
We meet
Water rising up into the street
Unbind my feet
'The apparition of these faces in
The crowd;
Petals on a wet black bough'
Ezra Pound found the formula
Our houses are rectangular
But life is curved not angular
So when things start to strangular
Remember
Rain still falls on the halls of power
New babies being born every hour
And the eagle keeps watch on the old clock tower
Over me...
On the train I refrain from sitting with head and shoulders
bowed
They told me time is of the essence
No wandering allowed
But then I saw a pretty girl
Whose features stood out in the crowd
Went ten minutes past my stop waiting for her to look around
I'm just another clown kicking around in Melbourne town
Cooling out, relaxing watching the
World go round
So if you ever have the time
And you want to go drink some wine
I'd rather greet you with a smile
Than greet you with a frown...
Lord unchain my hands (unchain my hands)
Let me sing inside the crowded trams (sing inside the crowded
trams)
jams)
We're going to sleep
On the St Kilda sands
(da!)
Lord unbind my feet (i said a lord.. i said a lord, unbind my
feet!)
Let me mingle with the good people
We meet
Water rising up into the street (up into the street!)
Unbind my feet
oh
