Despite the miseries And the lessons learned from history The pattern still repeats Never to surrender don't you ever repeat
How far have we really come? Until the ones who are leading us Make peace their resolution tonight Make peace your resolution tonight
There's an arms race to be run Building bigger better dagger headed bombs So let's drink to the daughters and sons Never to return to their mother's arms
For every battle lost and won are these the ones that we offer up?
Baby I've got you on my mind Honey you won't ever know How much i need ya by my side, Promise you I'll never go I won't take no from you this time 'Cos baby I've got you on my mind And honey I gotta show just what i can do Cos I think I know what you're going through
I Hope you feel it the way I feel it Hope you feel it the way i feel it too I feel it too
So if I had this all my way Honey you won't ever know I'd be there to every night and day, Promise you I'll never go I won't hold back from you this time
'Cos baby I got you on my mind Honey I gotta show ya just what I can do 'Cos I think I know, what you're going through Hope you feel it the way I feel it Hope you feel it the way I feel it too
Cos baby I got you on my mind I won't take no from you this time How much I need ya by my side
Babe I got ya on my mind Yeah on my mind
I tell you I won't wait for another day My heart died when you lose the chains (x2)
Cos honey I got you I got you on my mind (x3) I got you I got you on my mind Yeah honey I gotta show
Baby, don't you weep The world is at your feet Did you think I was always gonna take your side
Grevellea's in bloom Right outside your room You can keep your honour I can save my pride
Keep your hands up on the table Well, I don't like the way that they've been carrying on
I never was one to complain about the way that things are done If it spits like rain on the window frame Come to wash way the morning sun I never was one to complain about the way that things are done If it spits like rain on the window frame Come to wash away the morning sun
There is nothing left to lose No matter what I choose I never thought that your face would burn so bright
The rest of it is fixed I'm heading for the ditch So I think that you better come and claim your prize
Who's that man there by the window Well, I don't like the way that he's been carrying on.
I never was one to complain about the way that things are done If it spits like rain on the window frame Come to wash way the morning sun I never was one to complain about the way that things are done If it spits like rain on the window frame Come to wash away the morning sun
I got to keep moving to stay 'cause I'm freezing in this room And if I prove no good here I'll skip to where I should It's only an imaginary vigil we keep You salvage what you need I'll take the love you leave
I love your way I can't explain What made me change
I'm wading in deeper ever deeper as I go I drown the whole idea as I drift away from you It's only an imaginary vigil we keep You salvage what you need I'll take the love you leave
I love your way I can't explain what made me change I love your way
And as the memory gathers dust, buried in its crust Are the remains of what we've done and the seed of what we've just begun The tapping of the rain beats a corrugated drum And the city glows well it pulses on 1(to the city hum)/2(Until the day is done) (x2)
I love your way I can't explain what made me change
How many more times will you say that you love me How many more times will you wake up beside me You think that you told me what I'd like to hear But I think you should tell me how you really feel
I'll be your pawn, I'll be your king I'll bear your scorn, I'll wear your ring Our feet won't hardly touch the ground We'll float away without a sound You want to reach out and touch my hands You promise you'll do everything, everything, everything you can
Now how does it feel that I strung you along You're bound to try to conceal that maybe you had it wrong There's too many true feelings you've had to contain When you wake up tomorrow will you still feel the same
tell me where I'm supposed to begin an unhappy life working some kind of dead end job everything you thought you had has gone from worse to bad
lean to the side whisper it quiet end is in sight working all night around the clock everything you thought you had has gone from worse to bad
but it's not my kinda scene oh yeah footprints on the other side remind me where I've been oh yeah I'll watch from the other side
tell me where I'm supposed to begin an unhappy life working some kind of dead end job everything you thought you had has gone from worse to bad
so I'll just wait and watch the wheels while you're turning back
but it's not my kinda scene oh yeah footprints on the other side remind me where I've been oh yeah I'll watch from the other side
ooh throws me over and it drags me under ooh throws me over and it drags me under
singing: tell me where I'm supposed to begin an unhappy life working some kind of dead end job
voice over (with Bernie doing a semi American/Aussie accent...nice work...): tell me where I'm supposed to begin an unhappy life working some kind of dead end job
aah aaah etc
but it's not my kinda scene oh yeah footprints on the other side reminds me where I've been oh yeah I'll watch from the other side
but its not my kinda scene oh yeah footprints on the other side reminds me where I've been oh yeah
Your gentle pace it provides a rhythm for the unwashed few of us Lock and loaded past is a prison for the crimes of the universe Do you have the information to decide whether you really care C'mon you know that it's hard to complain about the way you live
So please don't let it roll right by you Just think if the same thing happened to you Would you be happy to walk in my shoes
I'm already tired of your chronic compassion fatigue The final turd in the dungheap of every post modern disease Are you in the situation to decide whater you really care It's hard to believe you'd look me in the eye and turn away again
I got to feeling low for making light of whatever you said The pain went straight to my head chopping me up turning me to morose You've got a thing or two coming soon so I'll get out of your way Beat blue, blackened and bruised chopping it up at the end of the day
You better step back and see the mess that you left Won't you tell it to somebody who cares I'm stumblin' all the way 'cause its not such a beautiful day
You stopped to see the show but don't believe everything that you read The pain's still there in my head pulling me close now that I'm here alone Don't stop because of me you'll never know just how long you'd have stayed So sleep through the slackening screws cutting me loose at the end of the day
It's not such a beautiful day But I'll stumble through all the same The bright lights are fading away It's not such a beautiful day
If I invite danger It might just do some good for me Slack jawed little stranger Slip and shuffle on your feet If I set a trap I'll raise suspicion and keep eyes on me I'll just keep kicking at the cracks 'Til it all falls in on me
Big fat payback bleeding like a smokestack I'm running We got a dud pump speed bump burning like a fuel dump I'm coming Don't panic
So come and join my collective Every man and woman for themselves I never felt so well protected Just hanging up here on the shelf There's no way I'm turning back I'm tired of sailing on the same old seas I'll just keep kicking at the cracks 'Til it all falls in on me Take a run for the money Give you something to show Now we're almost ready and away I go So go cat go
Sunsets over the beaches from now on Each day looking for new ways to go
Maybe I should drop by Maybe I should have called Maybe I should have followed you and beat down your door Maybe it's gonna be breaking you every time you fall But to shower you with pity will do you no good at all
Slow burn watching the world turn from my arms New way of measuring each day till it's gone
Maybe I should drop by Maybe I should have called Maybe I should have followed you and beat down your door Maybe it's gonna be breaking you every time you fall But to shower you with pity will do you no good at all, no good at all
Sunrise building a reprise in my heart Regret tight around my chest plays its part until its gone yeah, until its gone
But to shower you with pity will do you no good at all, no good at all
Watching the sunset sunset sunset sunset over the beaches beaches beaches beaches (x4)
I got to keep moving to stay 'cause I'm freezing in this room And if I prove no good here I'll skip to where I should It's only an imaginary vigil we keep You salvage what you need I'll take the love you leave
I love your way I can't explain What made me change
I'm wading in deeper ever deeper as I go I drown the whole idea as I drift away from you It's only an imaginary vigil we keep You salvage what you need I'll take the love you leave
I love your way I can't explain what made me change I love your way
And as the memory gathers dust, buried in its crust Are the remains of what we've done and the seed of what we've just begun The tapping of the rain beats a corrugated drum And the city glows well it pulses on 1(to the city hum)/2(Until the day is done) (x2)
I love your way I can't explain what made me change
