give me some love (not 1984)

Friday, April 21st, 2017

I’m a tourist,
Not a terrorist
I can tell you what I’m here for
I’m looking for a good year
Not 1984

Yeah, I’m a tourist,
Not a terrorist
See me coming in the front door
Looking for a good year
Not 1984

I’m not an alien,
I’m Australian
I know I sound a little strange, yes?
But don’t we all want the same thing?
A little bit of happiness

Give me some love
Give me some love
Not 1984

It’s all a distraction, guaranteed satisfaction
But only for now, not for long
Yes it’s all an illusion, all the confusion
But right now we’re singing a song
Yes it’s all in the view, so how’s it looking to you?
It’s a wild ride but don’t get me wrong
It can be amusing, but what are we choosing?
Well right now, we’re singing a song

I’m a tourist,
Not a terrorist
I can tell you what I’m here for
I’m looking for a good year
Not 1984

I’m not an alien,
I’m Australian
I know I sound a little strange, yes? Yes.
But don’t we all want the same thing?
A little bit of happiness

Give me some love
Give me some love
Not 1984

Give me some love
Give me some love
Not 1984

Give me some love (Give me some love)
Give me some love (Give me some love)
Give me some love (Give me some love)
Give me some love (Give me some love)
Give me some love (Ooh, give me some love)
Give me some love
Give me some love (Ooh, give me some love)
Give me some love (All you need is)
Give me some love
Give me some love
Give me some love

stand beside me

Sunday, July 1st, 2012

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
You know it’s hard
When you know it’s time
Leaving all you know behind
There’s what you need, then all the rest
Please forward to new address

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

You know the storm before the calm
When there’s no room to swing your arms
As we’re looking through our prison bars
Do I see mud when you see stars?

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Every step we take (every step we take),
When’s the one too far?
And are you listening to the trees,
When I hear the cars?

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Stand beside me, I’ll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Stand still, stand still

purple haze

Friday, July 29th, 2011

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
Galahs fly pink and grey and something
Moves in the dry grass beyond the fence

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
The skyline pink on grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dusty room inside your head

The crush of a thousand lives beneath your feet
As you contemplate working in this heat
The flies enjoy the view across your back
And it never looked so good
It never looked so good

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
The skyline pink on grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dusty room inside your head

And it’s a feeling
It never looked so good from where you are
It’s so easy if you don’t make it hard
Get you in, get you off, got your heart

The rush of a thousand minds will steal your sleep
And so you lie awake, you’re sweating through the heat
And as you tumble into another day
The view still seems the same
But nothing stays the same

Never knew how dry dry could be but you made it through
No news is good
News is it’s looking dry again
And you can laugh, and you can cry, and you do both
You keep it to yourself
You share it with the world

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
Galahs fly pink and grey and something (moves)
Moves in the dry grass beyond the fence

Purple haze on the Blue Mountains
