BE LIKE THE RIVER
I’d give my world to fall around you
to know the secret of your ways
I am so fortunate I found you
I have been waiting here for days
but I know there is no reason and I know there is no rhyme
with the changing of the seasons we are running out of time
be like the river run to the sea
I am sure every day there is somewhere else to be
we’re all fish in the ocean but we are free
come on be like the river run run run run to the sea
be like the river and run to the sea you might fool them but you don’t fool me
do you believe in destiny
try as you like with all your might
hold so tight you cannot fight
be like the river run run run run to the sea

They Don't Care About Us

THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US!
I’ve watched them from the sidelines I’ve watched them on the field
I’ve watched them play their dirty tricks leave wounds that never heal
I’ve watched them from a taxi and seen them from a bus
they don’t know I’m watching them for they don’t care about us
they’ve got all the money they’ve got all the dope
they take everything they want leave us with little hope
but we are coming for them turn minus into plus
they’ll see they’re on a losing streak if they don’t care about us
they’ve already got your savings oh what was that you say
they stole it from your top drawer when you looked the other way
and they’ll be coming after you if you don’t make a fuss
they’ll trap you in their sticky web for they don’t care about us
but I’m getting confident that somewhere down the track
we’re going to come together we’re going to take it back
we’ll satisfy our hunger we’re gonna slake our thirst
and we are going to make them care and make them put us first
and they will care they will care about us

SOLDIERS
just today I became aware what’s been hanging in the air
and as I look into my friend’s eyes we both know that we’ve been told so many lies
I can almost see the soldiers feel them as they brush past my shoulder but
it will be all right tomorrow yeah yeah
he’s got no job got no food and and they’re all putting salt on me and you
do you think it’s right to live in clover
when they buy and sell you fifty times over
I can almost see the soldiers feel them as they brush past my shoulder but
it will be all right tomorrow yeah
russian bear and eagle one we hold all the bombs you hold none

LOST
follow the white line the sign said and you won’t get lost
I think I still took a wrong turn that’s when I lost your trust
I don’t know where I’m going and you don’t know where you’ve been
propose we meet in the middle start at the start again
you bought me perfume in egypt I bought you a ring in tibet
when it comes down to the two of us well we fall through the safety net
if you can’t feel it by now who knows if you will
if you can feel it by now I feel that your heart can’t be still
we took a slow boat to china climbed up that great wall
when the night came and the shadows grew long didn’t seem to like me at all
follow the white line the sign said and you won’t get lost
I think I still took a wrong turn that’s when I lost your trust
if you can’t feel it by now who knows if you will
if you can feel it by now I feel that your heart can’t be still
feel that your heart can’t be still feel that your heart can’t be still
please let your heart be still

ALWAYS
I’ll love you always I’ll love you all days
I cannot tell you what you mean to me
I see you wander away out yonder
I cannot wait ‘till you return to me
and in the days when we are not together
and in days of grey stormy weather
I will think of you dearly and your voice will whisper o’er the heather
I cannot tell you what you mean to me
you will always be the lover that I cling to
be the silent muse that I sing to
and when you are near me
there’s a sleepy valley bell that rings true
I cannot tell you what you mean to me

In Your Arms
I lost it for a little while,
I found it where the river flows
I found it where the tall grass grows
I found it in your arms
I only lost it for a while
and then I found it in your smile
a smile that always did beguile
I found it in your arms
I didn’t know what time it was
but I looked up and there it was
and I was on a high because
I found it in your arms
I searched up high I searched down low
and I searched in the afterglow
of love made deep and love made slow
and love made in your arms
I never thought I’d get that far away
I never thought that I could go astray
I never thought the time would come to pray
but now I’m in your arms I’m here to stay
well I thought I had it all worked out
I thought that there could be no doubt
I thought that I would twist and shout
but I found in your arms
It wasn’t black it wasn’t white
but somewhere in between that night
I thought I’d never get it right
but it was in your arms
hang me up or tie me to a tree
go on fill my cup I’ll drink it cheerfully
and I’ll there there before you count to three
‘cause in your arms is where I want to be
so take my hand the future’s bright
let’s head on out towards the light
I know that paradise just might be
found there in your arms
I lost it for a little while,
I found it where the river flows
I found it where the tall grass grows
I found it in your arms

MY FATHER AND ME
we sailed out to sea my father and me
we rowed from the shore and we shouldered our oar
and the white sail did blaze from the sun in the sky
we sailed out to sea my father and I
we were men of the ocean, the wind and the sky
the shore disappeared and we sailed on alone
the lines were thrown out and the fish came along
along with the wind and my father’s deep song
and the grey sea did rage and my father was gone
gone to the sea in the blink of an eye
there was no time to mourn there was no time to cry
and I knew in my heart it could not the the same
and into the cruel wind I cried out his name
gone to the sea in the blink of an eye
there was no time to mourn there was no time to cry
and l knew in my heart it could not be the same and into the cruel wind I cried out his name
we sailed out to sea my father and me
we sailed out to sea

I RAN (SO FAR AWAY)
I walked along the avenue I never thought I’d meet a boy like you
with auburn hair and tawny eyes the kind of eyes that hypnotise me through
and I ran I ran so far away I just ran I ran all night and day couldn’t get away
a cloud appears above your head a beam of light comes shining down on you
the cloud is moving nearer still aurora borealis comes in view
and I ran I ran so far away I just ran I ran all night and day couldn’t get away
reached out a hand to touch your face it’s slowly disappearing from my view
reached out a hand to try again I’m floating in a beam of light with you
and I ran I ran so far away I just ran I ran all night and day
and I ran I ran so far away I just ran I ran all night and day couldn’t get away

THE OLD MACLEAY
As I was walking on The Old MacLeay
The breeze was blowin’ and the leaves were swayin’
The only thing I that I had on my mind
Why did I ever leave you behind?
The cormorant dries his wings in the sun
Way back there where I started my run
Kingfisher darts through a gap in the trees
He makes his way into God’s masterpiece
There’s a place in my heart
By the banks of the Old MacLeay
The sky has turned gold, and I’m making my way
Down through the sheoaks to the place my heart was lost
Buried there somewhere on the Old MacLeay
The big river winds like a lazy brown snake
Down through the flood plains down Chinchilla way
In the heart of the world it has started to rain
All I can think of is to be near you again
So it’s all hands on deck lads, anchors aweigh
Tide’s rushing out and we’ve outrun our stay
Though in the west there’s a star burning bright
And the lay of the land is a glorious sight
There’s a place in my heart
By the banks of the Old MacLeay
The sky has turned gold as I make my way
Down through the sheoak trees to the place my heart was lost
It’s buried there, somewhere, on the Old MacLeay.

I CAN’T MAKE YOU LOVE ME
turn down the lights turn down the bed
turn down these voices inside my head
lay down with me tell me no lies
just hold me close don’t patronise don’t patronise me
‘cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
you can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
here in the dark in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power but you won’t no you won’t
‘cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
I’ll close my eyes then I won’t see the love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
morning will come and I’ll do what’s right
just give me till then to give up this fight
and I will give up this fight
‘cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
you can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
here in the dark in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power but you won’t no you won’t
‘cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t

HOPE TOWN
there’s a place we’ll go together
a place we’ve never been before
in this place we’ll live forever
we will want for nothing more
any day you want any night you want
you can always call me over
I’ll go anywhere as long as you are there
you and I we’ve got our hopes on hope town
when the world is out to get you
and you need to disappear
you know I will not forget you
you don’t have to live in fear
no use for hesitating
why sit there contemplating
you just have to use the door
let’s see what we can find
just leave it all behind
come on what’re you waiting for
