In my world there are sorrows I'd rather drown in happiness Come the morning, when the darkness through That story's bound to change And in my world And in my world It's all the same And nothing's ventured, nothing's gained And nothing's lost and noth...

I grew tall in this lucky land And I thank god for that, but there's needles in the sand Ozone in eucalypt and on the steppes tonight There's pushing and a shoving on the throne tonight It's a rhythm of the sea Lost islands of hope It's a rhythm of the s...

Who’d like to change the world Who wants to shoot the curl Who gets to work for bread Who wants to get ahead Who hands out equal rights Who starts and ends that fight And not rant and rave Or end up a slave Who can make hard won gains Fall like the...

She was the golden summer wine And now she?s black and blue resigned He took advantage like the spider, helpless One too many times You had to go ahead and sing You had to steal that diamond ring Upon the headstone so inscribed, they cried One too many...

When I'm locked in my room I just want to scream Now I know what they mean One more day of eating and sleeping Speak to me, speak to me, I'm not spoking for, I'm ready to talk Look at me, Look at me, I'm at the edge of myself, I'm dying to talk Speak to...

The world is crashing down on me tonight The world is crashing down on me tonight The walls are closing in on me tonight The walls are closing in on me tonight 'Cos I know this is the end of the Beginning of the outbreak of love The stars come falling do...

There's a wind on the eastern side Ghost Gums dance in the moonlight night Mopoke mourns the racketeers The bosses they can sense you mind All in place to a hand that rules They all want to deal you out I can see the outside world Everything's...

I just want to see that clear clear ight Don't want to be a member of a species that's deceasing Keep on making those promises that they aren't keeping Oh I was a talking to the people next door Said they don't want to die in a nuclear war Now we went wa...

There's a shit storm a'coming I feel it coming soon There's a time and a place And a moment in space When the fat boys call the tune There's a bubble a bouncing And it's bouncing my way There's two sticks in the powderworks I think it's gonna blow toda...
