Good to see ya how ya been your show's started by now .. I think I'll settle in no hesitation since .. you're stuck in high and now my interest is thin continue on .. let me hear the part conviction strong .. win all race you start step closer to me .. make sure I can see you're the authority for any task .. I'm listening Tell me about your troubles .. and all the things that irritate you I'm looking forward I can't wait to hear all about .. your chips and how .. your shoulders are breaking coz my life lacks the joy and thrill .. of your grievances when listening is a skill .. words are hazardous loud mouthed and iron willed .. a dim simplicity dictates that I'm still .. still listening Well I've been here to long .. the conversation peaked when you almost choked on your drink well I've been here to long .. listening to you dribble on I'm listening .. so please go on Well I've been here to long .. catching bullshit that you've thrown I'm listening .. so please go on

Raise your glass and sing salute the days and times .. we hold onto we remember the good times and learn from the bad we engineer our own views everybody we will meet .. every new day that we greet plays part of our personal reality the more good ones that we keep the more bullshit we can defeat and all the better .. we will be Find your tempo and your tune make yourself comfortable .. enjoy the view but take care of this place hold and safeguard your faith for the next tenant to use when eventually faced .. with a retrospective taste will ya stand for .. the values that you see when humility and grace outweigh material gain all the better we will be .. all the better we will be
3.
In speculations name .. we lay our own unrest consume the game .. fixate on the bleak and forget about the rest count on your place .. know what's yours .. reclaim the right to an opinion of your own while the obedient wait .. the status quo remains .. the docile mass relent .. and minority reigns Trends are all the same .. a few start off the rest impersonate .. those who have the loudest voice and influential sway decide your way and retake .. your say directions easily change stand together hold to blame .. the masters of the day voice your reason .. your way .. and shape the world today And we'll walk to the same beat through the parks and down our streets united by the vast array everybody gets a name .. lives life and passes away so feel free to display .. your point of view

What if we should see .. wasn't necessarily reality the sky was in the sea .. and the sea was in the sky where the sun should be Funny little world in my mixed up brain drinking too much piss .. getting fried again weekend's coming up in a couple of days I'm gonna get fucked up .. in so many ways What if we should see .. wasn't necessarily reality the sky was in the sea .. and the sea was in the sky where the sun should be come on I rock up to my mates and there's powder on the table but my nose is so damn clogged and I don't know if I'm able to have another bump so I leave a line for later give the boys a fuckin wink .. and say g'day to Nater but Nater's sitting in the shed a cracky in his hand talking way too fast .. and I can't understand him What if we should see .. wasn't necessarily reality the sky was in the sea .. and the sea was in the sky where the sun should be come on I rock up to the pub .. left my mates behind smoked a couple of cones coz I thought I'd unwind sexy in the corner in peripheral view didn't need to speak to tell me what to do bouncer drags me out throws me down the stairs and I'm so fucking munted .. and I don't care What if we should see .. wasn't necessarily reality the sky was in the sea .. and the sea was in the sky where the sun should fucking be

The state of play that we see isn't always the way it seems past begrudge politic .. a cancer not a feat ambitious cuts most often bled in between faction views and selfish needs a quiet place where we agree a quiet place where we agree You gave so much to the machine even what wasn't yours to give now that the engine seized .. your throwing wrenches in state of play falls apart again Now that the engine seized .. your throwing wrenches in state of play falls apart again state of play falls apart again

Sing summer 03:06
Feeling the cold of winter .. surrounding me and it feels like every year .. it brings a tinge of misery there's a burden faced by me .. and I don't think I'm alone coz I'm a season refugee .. and I wanna go home Dealing in gold and broken dreams .. throughout the colder months tax a toll on me .. vexatious litigant I've a weather allergy .. but I don't cough or sniff or sneeze coz it's a sun deficiency .. and there's only one treatment Sing summer sun .. to me take your place and warm my memories winter's six long months away .. so lets go have some fun summer sun won't you please .. sing to me Sing summer sun .. to me take your place and warm my memories winter's six long months away .. so lets go have some fun summer sun won't you please .. sing to me

To buy Dubai 01:29
Four months in the sand .. home sickness and webcams an invitation half thought out .. arrives home from John Hand says honey won't you stay .. a month in the Emirates the sun is warm you'll like my place and the shopping is first rate now understand this man .. departed his home land to take a job and work real hard .. to fill up his account now with Leanne around .. the days have a sweeter sound the credit card's seen better days .. since she arrived in town She's waiting at the airport with a vision and a plan coz my mum's on her way to buy Dubai my mum's on her way to buy Dubai

Begin again .. we'll write back to the end when I say my intentions are sincere .. I'm for real and I'm providing a best attempt .. a common dream all too close to see .. when complaint outweighs a cause we always have a choice .. part company now and I'll Pack my stuff and make my way sleep til lunchtime every day and lay about .. with half an arse and drink the night away tell all my friends .. that it's been great might as well make .. another round .. another plan just another bad mistake For what it's worth I didn't mean to start something I could end so easily it held my heart And every time we catch a glimpse of freedom we look the other way whoa .. from the bottom of my heart and if we scream then we can count on reason's point to resonate whoa .. from the bottom of my heart Begin again .. we're doing it all again and when you say the shit you say .. it hurts my head I'll walk away instead bet on repeating .. the past but tail to head a hypocrite once said my hands are clean you are the cause replay your wrongs put mine on pause haven't we heard this before .. stop Well pardon I didn't mean to ask for something to offend so easily .. to break your heart Begin again .. we're doing it all again and when you say the shit you say .. it hurts my head I'll walk away instead bet on repeating .. the past but tail to head a hypocrite once said my hands are clean you are the cause replay your wrongs put mine on pause haven't we heard this before .. stop

A lucky rat 04:18
Back in June 1940 so history books say a young suburban fellow named Ronald Wade raised up his hand and enlisted his name to fight the good fight of the day the battalion moved north training next on the course Wangaratta proud to call them their own and they moved on together .. to camp Bonegilla while the Strathmore was waiting at bay The battalion embarked and sailed off on their way bound for Tobruk, Guinea and El Alemain and the souls of these brave men were never the same as they carried the wounded and slain and as shells pounded down with death felt all around young Ronald's demeanour retained and with drinks all around those boys painted the town just to celebrate waking that day And the rats wouldn't stray they kept fighting and their spirits march on to this day with the enemy scared every rat was prepared to lay his life down for a mate The men charged on forward as battlefields raged Rommel was stunned as they dug in again they fought side by side but their fate was unchanged their chances were slipping away and the enemy's tanks blew but one man to hell our mate Rover never would tell the story of how he survived on that day as he watched eight comrades as they fell And the feeling of being marched into that camp was like being dragged down to hell with a last swing of faith Ronald's chains were replaced with a gruelling crawl to friendly faces with a keener forehand and fine rhythm this man made his way back to his homeland though the telegram said our mate Rover was dead here stood that tough little bastard Cross the sea .. through the war old mate is back on our shores things they'd seen .. fights they'd fought Rover out-roved the war And the rats wouldn't stray they kept fighting and their spirits march on to this day now the good fight was won all those brave men were sung as the heroes that helped save Australia
