Bachelor KissesHey wait, please wait,
Don't rush off,
You won't be late.
Wait, yes, he'll wait,
The engine's running
At the gate.
cattle and caneI recall a schoolboy coming home
through fields of cane
to a house of tin and timber
and in the sky
a rain of falling cinders
from time to time
the waste memory-wastes
I recall a boy in bigger pants
Cut It OutWhat would you do
If I told you
To run from him?
What would vou say
If I told you to
Abandon him?
I khow you drink,
You've had a lot to drink,
Dive for Your MemoryIf the cliffs were any closer,
If the water wasn’t so bad.
I’d dive for your memory
On the rocks and the sand.
I’d dive for you
Like a bird I’d descend
Deep down I’m lonely
Finding YouWhat would you do if you turned around
And saw me beside you
Not in a dream but in a song?
Would you float like a phantom
Or would you sing along?
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
Five WordsIt starts with a birthstone
And ends with a tombstone
Cathedrals in London,
Cathedrals in Rome, all stone.
And I just say (what do you say?)
And I just say (what do you say?)
Bury them don't keep 'em.
Head Full of SteamI'd never met her type, she ignored me and that's alright
Never to be friends or my body lie on her floor
Her father works, her mother works in exports
But that's of no importance at all
I don't mind, I don't mind
Just to chase her, a fools dream
I'm 104 degrees
Lee RemickShe comes from Ireland
She’s very beautiful
I come from Brisbane
I’m quite plain
She’s from the mountains, so close to heaven
Clouds on her shoes, stars on her chest
I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling
People SayYou've got to improve
Your walk hardly moves
Your holy sailors with their harbour smells
Feed from your broken shells
So that's how it feels
It's a cruel God that steals
The things you love, the things you hold
quiet heartThe heater's on
The windows are thin
I'm trying hard
To keep this warmth in
I turn to her
She's sound asleep
Someplace I don't know
Spring RainDressed in a white shirt with my hair combed straight
Here in my black shoes and me without a date
Me without hindsight, me without
When will change come, Just like Spring Rain
Falling down like sheets
(falling down like sheets)
Coming down like love
(coming down like love)
streets of your townRound and round, up and down
Through the streets of your town
Everyday I make my way
Through the streets of your town
Don't the sun look good today?
But the rain is on its way
Watch the butcher shine his knives
the Devil's EyeI don't wanna let you out of my sight
Don't wanna let you onto your flight
The fortune teller might have been right
The bad old world can turn your hair white
And sometimes we don't come through
Sometimes we just get by
But I know with you
The House That Jack Kerouac BuiltYou and I together, with nothing showing at all,
In a darkened cinema, I'll give you pleasure in the stalls.
Want to give you tenderness, and my affection too.
If it's through clenched teeth, that's what you driven me
the Sound of RainHe walks through the door
And sees the railroad yard
And he blames the weatherman
For it raining so hard
I'm hearing, hearing
The sound of rain
The sound of rain
Too Much of One ThingNothing in my life is numbered
In my life nothing is planned
You might think you see purpose
When what you're seeing is a band
A thin line like from a spider
Upon which I dance
Nothing in these days is constant
Come home to chance
You Can't Say No ForeverYou can have hearing loss when you're
Boyfriend says he's boss you're scared of a new endeavor.
What can be tempting you?
Who can be tempting you, you
Look like a winter.
You can't say no forever
You can't say no forever.
