I thought I'd move to Sydney to get a little piece
Of the city life they talk about in the 90's. Where everyone I meet don't want to know my name They want to know what I do for a living My songs don't earn me money or fill my pockets with cash Every time I go busking I make more in hash Everything I want is getting further out of reach Like that funky little apartment down on bondi I've been getting cozy with a kiwi boy He'd kill me if I said he was sweet as apple pie He's going to leave me and hit the road He's touring with the theater ? if you see him say I said All the birthday money my parents sent Was spent on the phonebill and paying my rent Frijole, guacamole anything you want I'm working as a waitress in a mexican restaurant |

(Hey mama hey mama hey ma they lie) x 3
You read the paper, watch the news And you think you're well informed Well, I've got some news for you, my friend-- That headline that you read, the story that broke It was a scandal - yeah a scam A political masterstroke Tell you what they you want you to hear-- Close your eyes and open your ears! It's easier that way 'Cause you don't have to think for yourself (Chorus) You said, "Hey, I tell no lies, I tell no lies! Because I read it all in black and white! It was on my TV; yeah, they were telling me just what to believe... Yeah, I tell no lies, I tell no lies" And all the while they're tellin' you lies Everyday, you and me; we see what we are shown It can be hard to scratch below There are people at the top, they are hidden far from view They're not going to show their faces to the likes of me and you You never see them on the street, But you'll always see the things that they do. Yes, they can get away No price is too high for them to pay Chorus Oh Lies lies lies (lies lies lies) x3 (Hey mama hey mama hey ma they lie) x 8 And all the while they're tellin' you lies. |

Danger -danger ahead
We missed the signs, we lost all we had of you I know you had time on your own But you couldn't ever say thast you didn't have A place to come home to But you never came home Danger How could anything get so bad You turn down all the choices that you have And run toward the darkest light you find With hope it will ease you aching mind Danger ahead we missed the signs And now you've left us here to work out all your reasons We comb the past to understand your grivevance And we can't find a reason why you would justify Why you were in danger you never came home |

I've been looking out for number one
I've been stepping out with my friends I don't have to justify what I have done I don't have to answer to anyone I put my body on the line Take a step out of my mind Life takes on a different veiw, without you I feel energized like I was young I have not felt this way since we began I re-evaluate my future plan Time to free myself from your command Theres no need to compromise I'll do what ever I decide no one else to spoil the view - without you I don't care if I ever touch the sun I don't care if the whole thing comes undone Everyday to me is a surprise I don't care if it leads to my demise No restrictions now I'm free No black clouds hanging over me I think I like this view, without you |

HAIRCUT by the Waifs
This is more than a haircut I'm wearing on my head I thought I'd dye it red but got it cut instead And maybe I could send you my long blond locks Cause you were always after something baby something I'm not See I'm darker underneath, I'm darker by far I'm dark as hell, you know who you are My eyes, I always, I wished they where green My skin is so damn brown but the sun, it don't see And fingernails I could've stuck them on The hair on my lip I should've waxed it off Yeah I know my lips could do with a little more pout The mole on my chin I can do with out And my cheekbones, they never sat real high I'll get some bone put in, they can take it from My thighs I'm darker underneath, I'm darker by far I'm as dark as hell - you know who you are So now when I make love I make love to myself I got no disease so it's good for my health I got my hands in my pants, down my calvin kleins I don't need you no more baby, I can come every time I'm darker underneath, I'm darker by far I'm as dark as hell, you know who you are Don't you ever show your face here again To me or any of my friends 'Cause I'm glad I found out what you're all about When I finally fell down off my cloud Cause baby when you ran away You broke my heart You kept my Kerouac books and that old guitar And I am darker underneath, I'm darker by far I'm as dark as all hell, you know what you are I don't need to tell you, you know what you are I don't need to tell you, you know what you are I don't need to tell you - I don't need to tell you, no You know what you are This is more than a haircut I'm wearing on my head I thought I'd dye it red but got it cut off instead. |

When the night-time comes you can hear
My heart calling Calling out to you my one true love Thinking about you all of the while Thinking about you it's making me smile Honey I'm sitting on top of the world just Thinking about you In the morring light that's when I'm feeling right Another day come, another day go, another day closer till I make you my own Honey I'm siting on top of the world Just thinking about you I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true Honey I'm in love with you I'm going to show you what I can do Comeover here you've gotta be told, My love for you is out of control Honey I am sitting on top of the world, Just thinking about you girl I'm going to show you how much I care, Marry you and take you away some where Sit back in a rocking chair and rock all day with you my dear Cause I love you, I love you I love you I love you In the morrin, in the evening, in the night time or in the middle of the afternoon I love you I love you I love you I love you Damn right |

night-time i stage my street show
love for the money that's my cash flow no I don't get scared when I walk alone I have been on this beat enough to know that when shit happens it is just your turn so you deal with it and it happens everyday I don't know quite where I belong so when they come I freely give myself away walkabout - a very different kind walkabout - a very different place and time I stand underneath street lights dreaming of the moon it is rising in a desert a life I never know taken away and now I'm walking by myself when you grow up in institutions you make your friends but love you never know so when I found my blood ran from the desert I knew it was somewhere I had to go I went to the people there I lost and found myself on either side something deep down just don't feel right so I walk about this country and I walk about these streets to find where my heart lies. |

You broke down my door and let yourself in
Helped yourself to my soul and skin You ate all you needed and then had the nerve To thank me for dinner and help yourself tp dessert You helped yourself I could've chaged you a service fee For all you did to me I should've chged you a service fee For all you did to me You helped yourself It wasn't very pretty, it wasn't very kid But I rathr go deaf, paralysed or blind But I lay back, held still by the fear That you would smash me to pieces And I'd die here I carry knifes in my pockets, bullets in my guns Don't try to chase me I'm not going to run And don't ever ask me, don't you dare begin I'm not going to talk about it but god knows I'm going to sing God knows I am going to sing about it No thankyou boy I'd rather walk home alone No thank you sir I'd rather walk home alone No thank you brother I'd rather walk home alone No thankyou mister I'd rather walk home alone |
