I JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH When I’m with you baby, I go out of my head And I just can’t get enough just can’t get enough All the things you do to me everything you said I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough We slip and slide as we fall in love And I just can’t seem to get enough We walk together we’re walking down the street And I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough When I see you baby, I know we have to meet And I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough It’s getting harder its’ a burning love And I just can’t seem to get enough And when it’s raining, you’re shining down for me I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough Just like a rainbow you know you set me free I just can’t get enough I just can’t get enough You’re like an angel and you give me your love And I just can’t seem to get enough

All Roads 02:40
ALL ROADS (G. P. Gadsby) All roads lead to somewhere else and they lead me to roam And any place you find yourself it might as well be home When it’s time to leave behind everything you’ve known Then all roads will lead you to roam Along the endless highways and over the briny foam A place in me that I can’t reach, it took me far from home When you’re sure that there must be more, more than what is shown Then all roads will lead you to roam Just over the horizon, maybe in the next town I’ve got to follow my feet to where the roads all meet and the sun goes down Double yellow line for a long time No stopping it’s a tow away zone Catch a flash in the rear view but how time has flown Until the day that you can say at last I’m home Then all roads, then all roads will lead you to roam Yeah eh eh!

SHATTERED DREAMS So much for your promises they died the day you let me go Caught up in a web of lies but it was just too late to know I thought it was you who would stand by my side And now you’ve given me, given me, nothing but Shattered Dreams, Shattered Dreams Feel like I could run away, run away, from this empty heart You said you’d die for me Woke up to reality and found the future not so bright I dreamt the impossible that maybe things would turn out right I thought it was you who would do me no wrong And now you’ve given me, given me, nothing but Shattered Dreams, Shattered Dreams Feel like I could run away, run away, from this empty heart You’ve given me, given me, nothing but Shattered Dreams, Shattered Dreams Feel like I could run away, run away, from this empty heart From this empty heart I thought it was you who said they’d die for love And now you’ve given me, given me, nothing but Shattered Dreams, Shattered Dreams Feel like I could run away, run away, from this empty heart Now you’ve given me, given me, nothing but Shattered Dreams, Shattered Dreams Feel like I could run away, run away, from this empty heart You said you’d die for me, die for me So much for your promises

Killer Man 03:38
KILLER MAN (Tony Brown) Well you can’t kill the Killer Man you don’t want to let him go You build him a hotel for his soul You don’t want to let him out don’t want to let him in You make sure they’re dying from within Well it doesn’t make much sense But it seems they pay the rent with their time Oh the worlds you must explore When you’re locked behind a door with your mind Well you can’t kill the Killer Man you don’t want to let him go You build him a hotel for his soul You don’t want to let him out don’t want to let him in You make sure they’re dying from within Do do do do do do do do do oooooh yeah Do do do do do do do do do oooooh yeah On an island in the sea they’d be safe from you and me All our wise men’s ways And the whistler in his cell does a tune he knows so well As he counts out the days

Heart Fire 04:24
HEART FIRE Looking in the mirror won’t help you choose ‘Cause every way you look at it you lose Thought I’d have myself sorted out by now But I don’t really know how Saw you walking down my street last night With such a purpose under dirty lights Seems you wear a suit and tie these days Guess your Momma’s proud you’ve lost your wild ways You had your heart in the fire You had your heart in the fire All the words but no desire You had your heart in the fire Would you have done things differently If I’d told you we would both end up so lonely? You never really finished that degree You’re an accidental father of three But you had your heart in the fire You had your heart in the fire All the words but no desire You had your heart in the fire

The Painter 04:36
THE PAINTER I always thought you were a dancer Even though you never told me that Imagined you pirouetting ‘round your table But now, now I know better than that I always thought you were a painter The sun, the earth, the sky, the sea Mountains were the easel and the brushes from the trees But you, you were never going to paint me But the world’s not make believe it’s not made for the likes of you and me It’s all just one sweet fantasy I always thought you were a sculptor Gently moulding my mind Shaping thoughts and smoothing all the edges And all, all it needed was time I always thought you were a singer Melodies flow with rhythm and rhyme Sing to me like a mountain honeyeater baby Transform my space and time. But the world’s not make believe it’s not made for the likes of you and me It’s all just one sweet fantasy

Mr Lonely 03:39
MR LONELY (Mick Slocum) They call me Mr Lonely, I know you love me only But I’m a solo sailor upon a concrete sea And though I bring you flowers, bring out your special powers No-one like Mr Lonely does lonely like me They call me Mr Lonely I’m quite relaxed and homely My shirts are neatly folded, I drink only tea And you won’t see me cryin’, whilst deep inside I’m dyin’ No-one like Mr Lonely does lonely like me Yes, I’m Mr Lonely the one and only Lonely I’d like to go for everything, but nothing comes for free I’m standing tall whenever we’re walking out together But no-one like Mr Lonely does lonely like me Yes, I’m Mr Lonely, I’m Mr Lonely I’m counting backwards from three I’m Mr Lonely the one and only Lonely and No-one like Mr Lonely did lonely like me Now they used to call me lonely, but no more Mr Lonely I’m now happy as a chappie who’s won a lottery I think I’m on a winner, I’ll let you know at dinner ‘Cause I think I’m gonna love you for all eternity.

ALWAYS THE SUN How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain? How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say? Who gets to work and who gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same How many times have you been told if you don't ask, you don't get? How many lads have taken your money your mother said you shouldn’t bet And who has the fun? Is it always a man with a gun? Someone must have told you, if you work too hard you can sweat There's always the sun, always the sun, Always, always, always the sun How many times has the weatherman told you stories that made you laugh? You know it's not unlike the politicians and leaders when they do things by half Who gets the job of pushing the knob? That sort of responsibility you draw straws for if you're mad enough There's always the sun, there’s always the sun, Always, always, always the sun There's always the sun, there’s always the sun, Always, always, always the sun

I WANT YOU BACK (G. P. Gadsby) Listen to this Sister, I’m in a whirl It’s the story of a broken girl - and it’s true Yes, I know, ‘cause it happened to me You think it’s funny just wait and see, until it’s you Yes I know what I’m talking about You think you’re so tough but you can’t figure out what to do Thought I was clever, I thought I was cool Thought I was smart - but I was a fool without a clue I thought our love was built on rock I want to turn back the hands of the clock, what can I do? What was I thinking when I walked away? I’ve been walking downhill since the day I left you I want you back, I need you back and you know it I want you back, I need you back and you know it What was I thinking when I walked away? I’ve been walking downhill since the day I left you I want you back, I need you back and you know it

THE WRONG HORSE (Mick Slocum) I backed the wrong horse, I played the wrong game I took the wrong tram, I yelled the wrong name I played the wrong card, it was to my shame It was a setback, and I’ll never do that again I grabbed the wrong bag, I racked the wrong frame I hit the wrong course, flew in the wrong plane I played the wrong tune, I sailed the wrong main Ran up the wrong flag, and I’ll never do that again But I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do as soon as I am able I’m gonna buy my own racehorse, gonna open my own stable I wore the wrong suit, I drove the wrong car And though I filled ‘er up, she didn’t go far I let my guard slip, I let my watch stop I let the tap drip, and I’ll never do that again And though the world is moving fast, faster than a rocket I’ll keep my eye upon the ball, keep the plug right in that socket I backed the wrong horse, I shined the wrong shoes I lit the wrong flame, I played the wrong blues I caught the wrong cab, I drank the wrong drink No matter what you think, never, ever do that again!
