Now she's thinking of the red soil and the mango trees
In her mind she's still splashing round down on Cable Beach And her eyes, they are as rich and faraway as the sunset there She's not taking in a word I say Well I might as well be talking to myself Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that will not come again Take it in, take it all in This is a day that is here for the living So we step outside into this Melbourne weather With a shock it brings her back to where she is Now we've made this place our home Surrounded by unknown We're gonna stick it out until it comes together Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that will not come again Take it in, take it all in This is a day and it's here for the living We're only living for a day to come or some days gone by Never taking in each moment Never knowing what you had until it passed you by And it'll pass you by Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that will not come again Take it in, take it all in This is the day and it's here for the living Take it all in Now is a time that will not come again Take it in, take it all in This is the day and it's here for the living |

Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun
You've done a hundred things before half past nine By the time most folk are up and gone You'll be starting on one hundred and one There's not enough hours in a day To do all the things she's just got to do When the daylight fades and the night invades She's only just begun Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done ‘Gillian you work too hard' But don't you try to slow her down ? she'll tell you ‘Idleness is good for none work's how I get my fun Idleness is good for none work's how I get things done' Gillian you're the one you're the one Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun I'm trying to thank you now for what I've become But I've only just begun Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son Your blood is my blood we are forever bound You're the inspiration to the way I live my life I'm singing, Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife Gillian if you weren't my mother I'd make you my wife Gillian if you weren't my mother I'd make you my wife Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife |

Now we are so intimate do you think we could ever part
Though there's little love left in it something seems to make it hard I'd like to stand up I'd like to stand up on my own But I fear that you will forever be my crutch Did I save myself or was I saved Though I knew it was killing me - I did it anyway When I think of all those years I led myself astray Knowing it was killing me ? I did it anyway I see it all from the other side The prison walls around your minds These are the subtle scars I hide I'm looking in from the other side |

Now's the time you're leaving you got to do what you got to do
When you come in from the cold I'll still be warm for you And I won't be bending backwards like you never done for me When you look at what's left inside You've only got your jealousy It's wearing me thin, all this trying to please I'm looking within and I can see for miles And I'm trying to grin as I'm trying to please I keep looking within, you know I can still see for miles Like a player in a show you never gonna wait around for what remains If you go and play your games of jealousy I don't want to deal with that again It's your jealousy baby You got to lose it |

We grew up together in an urban town
Just me and Bill Jones always hanging around A mumma's little boy he was an only child His clothes were always neat and his hair carefuly styled Of all the games we'd play I could'nt understad why I'd have to be the groom and let Billy be the bride all those pretty dresses he would love to wear I'd wear a floppy hat and he'd put flowers in his hair He'd even wear my underwear A few year later we drifted apart My family moved south to make a new start I missed Billy, mum said that was wrong Dad said 'that boy just don't know where he belongs' Where does he belong? A few years later i was working in a bar It was all smokey and dark, There was a bluesman playing guitar When in walked a woman wearing emerald green With a voluptuous figure, She was beautiful and lean She was looking pretty mean A full martini shaken not stirred It was only until about after her third I started looking closely, Man i should of knowen It was my old friend, You guessed it, Billy Jones Oh my god Billy Jones! Oh shit Billy Jones! Tears filled our eyes as we began to speak He'd been living a lie, a life so descreet It made me feel sad to hear him say In a voice so sweet 'Honey you can call me Jane' As the night wore on we spoke of yesterday And how Billy had always knowen that he was gay I never knew how much a person could change From little Billy Jones to lean, lusious Jane Billy Jane Jones This Comes From My Heart I hope your nights are filled with a thousand stars But don't waste your sweetness in the empty air 'Cause you don't know how cold and dark it is out there That's the ballad Of Billy Jane Jones |

I'm going out to damage my brain
You won't come; you say you're staying at home It's no shame; night and day we see each other anyway We've got to move, we've got to get away It's a long cold night but there's a better day Wouldn't you say, correct me if I'm wrong But we've got all the good reasons for time on our own You see me all the time You see me all the time You see me all the time Hey babe throw me some line It's him and her; it's this and that I feel my tyres going flat There's no get up and go for getting it on We got all the good reasons for time on our own You see me all the time You see me all the time You see me all the time Hey babe throw me some line x2 |

Seems like only yesterday I thought I had my life together
Ain't it funny how some things change For it is today I feel uncertain about my whole world All once familiar is now strange I've become so dependant on those things that I once rejected I'm rejecting all I believed I'm so open minded that it leaves me undecided Now I'm forever caught between two extremes I believe I found some time to get away on my own I came to a place where nobody knows my name With the hope it would help me see things clearer It has for now I realise that it was nothing but a planned escape I believe |

In my head
looking to the sky screaming will this pain ever end? you know I'm lonely, I won't understand it I want someone to talk to Someone who'll feel it and hold me Cause I am feeling down down inside myself It confuses me I just need a little company I can't stand it here by myself I just need company Here I go again Oh I'm breaking down lord how I try, I try so hard I wanna get my feet on the ground I wanna keep em there This time I'm gonna keep em there I just need a little company I can't stand it here by myself I just need company When you're not here I can't see the road ahead When you're not here Something deep in me is dead X 4 I just need a little company I can't stand it here by myself I just need a company I can't stand it here by myself X 3 |

We drive an old beat up car
We play our out of tune guitars Mother Nature keeps us safe Even when we're off our face A waif is all I want to be Not better for you no worse for me You've got a mobile phone and heaps of money We ain't got much but at least we're free You may sit and talk and stare But he's not gonna cut his hair Not gonna patch my jeans or wash my face Going to keep on being a waif A waif you see is an unloved child A kid that's stray and gone kind of wild You can change your name, change your look You can even change your style But why don't you come and live with us for a while We pick up work when we can Our clothes are all second hand Harmonicas are old and abused But she can still play the blues |

Shiny apple rotten on the inside
Skin is smooth but you soul is soft Oh you look so appetising but Taste the truth it'll make you spit And how long have I known you now But I knew after just one taste And how long has my mouth been sour It's been sour ever since that day And how long can I go on like this Knowing what I know anyway But it makes me feel helpless to Stand and watch while you rot away |
