Healer 04:35
Do you feel alright? Calling it a night? Stand close to me I'm a healer Lock your eyes on mine I can stop you from falling Just gotta be a believer Medicine man gonna touch you with a feather Gonna help you forget all those nights And those days when you were awake Better get a plan Better find out what you need Gonna cut you with a knife Make you bleed For days He's a healer Lock me in your sights Gonna keep you from feeling Now you're a believer Medicine man gonna touch you with a feather Gonna cut you with a knife Make you bleed For days He's a healer Medicine man gonna touch you with a feather Gonna help you forget all those nights And those days when you were awake Better get a plan Better find out what you need Gonna cut you with a knife Make you bleed For days He's a healer Medicine man gonna touch you with a feather Gonna help you forget all those nights And those days when you were awake Better get a plan Better find out what you need Gonna cut you with a knife Make you bleed For days He's a healer For days He's a healer For days He's a healer

Dead End 04:05
Wheel out the sun Where do all the pretty girls go when the rain comes? They're all taken anyway They're close enough to touch, but they can still get away My world could have been your world Could've been a done deal Could've been I could have been in Your World, hangin' with your friends Could have been a dead end I saw your mother She was steppin' off a train at the station She was swept up and taken away She was close enough to touch But I had nothing to say My world could have been your world Could've been a done deal Could've been I could have been in Your World, hangin' with your friends Could have been a dead end Now I'm swept away I wept all day Knowing that I was the one Who got in your way I got in your way Now I'm swept away Running with you and your friends … I I think I know how this ends My world could have been your world Could've been a done deal Could've been I could have been in Your World, hangin' with your friends Could have been a dead end My world could have been your world Could've been a done deal Could've been I could have been in Your World, hangin' with your friends Could have been a dead end

Vinyl Mine 03:55
I was flying one day across the sky you see When I saw a girl was looking up at me She said where are you going at such rapid speed I said why don't you come and find out with me I'm a vinyl mine for you, baby You don't need nobody else The sharpest needle I can find for you, baby I've never been no one else And if the truth be told I'm not really too old for you, sugar The sharpest needle I can find for you, baby I'll never be no one else I was flying I've never been no one else I was flying It looks like we're dancing, but we're running on the spot We can keep the beat, but it takes everything we got I'm a vinyl mine for you, baby You don't need nobody else The sharpest needle I can find for you, baby I've never been no one else And if the truth be told I'm not really too old for you, sugar The sharpest needle I can find for you, baby I'll never be no one else I was flying

There was that one song they dropped We're loaded Hey, you can't get no cabs to come here She was all arms and legs I was all lines and pegs I was calling cabs and signing off Standing up straight and looking tough When the lights came on we all looked rough And there's a dog in the backseat biting the breeze No fixed plans, just taking it easy I don't wanna let this summer go … no And I still don't know how to get up for work And I still don't own the nice things I want everything in spades And I never did do the right thing And I never went back to school I had too many things I needed to do And there's a dog in the backseat biting the breeze No fixed plans, just taking it easy I don't wanna let this summer go … no Taking it easy ... taking it easy I'm a summer junkie Taking it easy ... taking it easy I'm a summer junkie I'm just taking it easy, so light and breezy I'm a summer junkie Just taking it easy, can't even see me I'm a summer junkie And there's a dog in the backseat biting the breeze No fixed plans, just taking it easy I don't wanna let this summer go … no And I still don't own the nice things! And there's a dog in the backseat biting the breeze (I was all lines and pegs) No fixed plans, just taking it easy (There was that one song they dropped, we're loaded) I don't wanna let this summer go … no

If I was your boyfriend I'd treat you badly When you dumped me I'd react badly I wouldn't know what had Just hit me I'll just go inside You pretend you never met me I'm the man of your dreams (repeated) I'll speak quietly So you don't hear me Do things my way Or you'll have good reason to fear me I'll hear them all All your good and bad screams I'm the man of your dreams I'm the man of your dreams (repeated) You'll get used to having me around When I'm not, you'll get down You'll get used to having me around When I'm not, you'll get down At first I'll treat you right Pick you up after work But I'm really Mr Not Quite Right And if you ever change your mind I'll cut up all your clothes I'm the man of your dreams (repeated) … I'm dreamy

Way Out 03:42
We're open for business Let me show you around this mess Come on now, you want this You know now you can't resist I spent a little time today Putting things back into place I found myself in a place there was no fear Give me a love bite A new motorbike Another late night Way out In the warm night I might pass by I'm just on my Way out Come over Don't miss this Let me show you I mean business Your love's right You top my list Stay the night tonight … tonight Stay with me … ohh tonight! I spent a little time today Putting things back into place I found myself in a place there was no fear Give me a love bite A new motorbike Another late night Way out In the warm night I might pass by I'm just on my Way out Stay with me … ooh tonight … tonight! I spent a little time today Putting things back into place I found myself in a place there was no fear Give me a love bite (I spent a little time today) A new motorbike (Putting things back into place) Another late night Way out In the warm night (I spent a little time today) I might pass by (Putting things back into place) I'm just on my Way out Way Out Way Out Ooh tonight … tonight

Let's take a drive You know there's fucking millions of cars High-five me now that I'm gone I got high tonight I'm not supposed to But I can still drive alright I guess She likes his jeans and his nice side She wants it all contained in a safe word The view up here from the highrise … it's the best I got bootloads And it's a bargain at ten times the price My demon's got a bright red greedy streak And a mean look in it's eyes I don't write (so good) But I can read what's in your pretty eyes Hey … Huh! I don't need no shirt (to dance) I got your name across my chest She likes his jeans and his nice side She wants it all contained in a safe word The view up here from the highrise … it's insane She likes his jeans and his nice side She wants it all contained in a safe word The view up here from the highrise … it's the best

Don't forget … Next time someone's pushing you around Or trying to be some sort of big shot They came into this world with no teeth … no hair Anything you want The world will hand it over Such a pretty picture It can't resist ya tonight Anything you want The world will hand it over Such a pretty picture It's getting at ya tonight And your life is written in your eyes And your life is there in your eyes And your life is written in your eyes And your life is there in your eyes And your life is written in your eyes And your life is there in your eyes

Sooky Face 02:36
Enthroned in his corner with a sooky face He follows all the action as it happens But he dare not say a thing He sights seven sycophants He'd never take advantage … honest There ain't no happy ending waiting for the king When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it REPEAT Returned to his owner, he knew the pack would soon forget the time he ran the action, threw them scraps and kept them thin These sly slaves and sycophants, he never could have managed without So now he wonders if he ever was the king Sometimes he wonders if he truly was the king Everybody wants to know if this shit means anything ... means anything When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it When you can't make sound, and there's darkness all around Then the sky's a ship, and you'll never swim to it REPEAT Reunited with his son, he threw his guns back in the ocean Then took his time to tell the things that he had seen He had sideswiped the sycophants, learnt a new dance But he would never be king

Faces, wine stains, pretty feathers Writing all over the floor She wrote your name in your colour Everyone saw The night drew back … coughed you up Then wished you luck Wearing those jeans you lost in the fire You were way too high Way too high to ever give a fuck And way too wasted to see it and duck You got great hair But Bobby don't dance When you move like you do He talks with his hands No Bobby don't dance I never wanted this I never wanted this How could it come to this? How could it come to this? Oww! Now get me out of this Get me out of this Please! Get me out of here You got great hair But Bobby don't dance When you move like you do He talks with his hands No Bobby don't dance Way too wasted to ever give a fuck! Way too wasted to ever give a fuck! Way too wasted to ever give a fuck! Way too wasted … No Bobby don't dance No Bobby don't dance Way too wasted to ever give a fuck! Way too wasted to ever give a fuck! Way too wasted to ever give a fuck! Way too wasted … No Bobby don't dance … to ever give a fuck!

I used to climb a tree out back To learn the language of the sky I lived alone inside my mind I can see all the way to Seaford Beach There's a sky down there that nobody here can see High up in the tea-tree Nobody look for me Don't no-one bother me I can see all the way to Seaford Beach There's a sky down there that nobody here can see High up in the tea-tree Nobody look for me Don't no-one bother me One day I drove the old Beach Road Wanted to feel the feel of home I sat alone in my old car And wondered how far I could really go I can see all the way to Seaford Beach There's a sky down there that nobody here can see On the edge of the city Nobody look for me Don't no-one bother me Sometimes it's boring when the weather's just fine The sky's so cloudy, yet it's blue in my mind And some days I wonder if I'll ever go home Go home … I can see all the way to Seaford Beach But there's a sky down there only astronoughts could reach The dead centre of reality It's not enough for me Never enough for me It's not enough for me It's not enough for me It's not enough for me It's not enough for me ...
