Lyrics of the moment

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It sure ain't no surprise

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, out there on the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

Blow Up the Pokies The Whitams

There was the stage, two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
You trod the planks way back then
And it's strange that you're here again, here again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

Don't, don't explain
Lots of little victories take on the pain
It takes so long to earn
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

Flashing lights, it's a real show
And your wife? I wouldn't go home
The little bundles need care
And you can't be a father there, father there

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again, show them you can be your own man again..

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

~Another man there was made the trains run on time

Goddamn Lonely Love.....

I got green and I got blues
and everyday there's a little less difference between the two...
so I belly-up and disappear
well I ain't really drowning 'cause I see the beach from here....

I could take a Greyhound home but when I got there it'd be gone
along with everything a home is made up of...
so I'll take two of what you're having and I'll take all of what you got

To kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love....

Stop me if you've heard this one before...
a man walks into a bar and leaves before his ashes hit the floor...
stop me if I ever get that far
the sun's a desperate star that burns like every single one before....

and I could find another dream
on that keeps me warm and clean...
but I ain't dreamin' anymore, I'm waking up...

so I'll take two of what you're having and I'll take Everything you got
to kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love.....

it's such a joke, what he asked me to do.
he must think i'm a fool, Janine.
you know i'm your friend.
whatever they say.
in another day,
a dream it will appear.
i touched you on the arm.
you were so warm.

I know I was born
I know I will die
the in between is Mine...

I Am Mine....

I've been locked out
I've been locked in
but I always seem to come back again
when you're in that room
what do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds
they're crying on you
and the birds are offering up their tunes
in a shack as remote as a mansion
you escape into a place where nothing moves

And I've been locked out
and I know we're through
but I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long
for the walls to crack
but I know that I will one day have you back

And the hills
are as soft as a pillow
and they cast a shadow on my bed
and the view
when I look through my window
is an altarpiece I'm praying to
for the living and the dead

Twin valleys shine in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one

Yet I've been locked out
and I know we're through
but I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long
for the walls to crack
but I know that I will one day have you back
(yes, I will)

And I work
like bees in the honey
every night I circle like the moon
it's an act
of simple devotion
but it can take forever when you've got something to prove

Invisible airwaves
Crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle
With the energy
Emotional feedback
On a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price-
Almost free...

All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question
Of your honesty



One likes to believe
In the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity.



Peace

I just don't know what to do tonight,
My head is aching as I drink and breathe
Memory falls like cream in my bones, moving on my own.

There must be something I can dream tonight,
The air is filled with the moves of you,
All the fire is frozen yet still
I have the will, oouu, ahhh.

Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distance
And my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad,
it's much too bad
That our friends can't be with us today.

I shoulda known that it would end this way
I shoulda known there was no other way
Didn't hear your warning
Damn my heart gone there

I shoulda known
Look at the shape you're in
I shoulda known
But I don't write in
One thing is for certain
As I'm standing here
I shoulda known

Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt

I shoulda known
I was inside of you
I shoulda known
There was that side of you
Came without a warning
Caught me unaware
I shoulda known
I've been here before
I shoulda known
Don't want it anymore
One thing is for certain
I'm still standing here
I shoulda known

Lay your hands in mine
Heal me one last time
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt

No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I shoulda known

Maybe you was right
Didn't want a fight
I shoulda known
Couldn't meet the signs
Couldn't take the lie
I shoulda known

Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
Though I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
No I cannot forgive you yet
No I cannot forgive you yet
To leave my heart in debt
I shoulda known .
