The Waifs piosenki

I’m going to dress up tonight And I’ll look real pretty for I don’t know who I’ll find my own way around this great big city And I’m gonna sit at a bar and I’ll have a drink I’ll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings I know you like to visit them...

When your boots are well worn in And you’re tired of travelling When you got nowhere to call your own You know my place can be your home To the rescue here I come To the rescue here I come When I was out there playing hard With my big attitude and my...

I decided no one's knowing anything about where I'm going I can't even talk to my friends anymore Not blaming anyone for the mess I've gotten in I'm only frightened by the things that I've done Keep me safe from myself I can't do it without your help...

Shiny apple rotten on the inside Skin is smooth but you soul is soft Oh you look so appetising but Taste the truth it’ll make you spit And how long have I known you now But I knew after just one taste And how long has my mouth been sour It’s been sour...

Walking down the main street of the town where I was born Looking at these things I’ve seen so many times before I take a deep breath, smile and kick a stone along the ground Been so long, since I’ve been around There’s comfort in the way that everything...

I’ll never forget I was singing in the streets You laid a sunflower on the case at my feet You blew a smile and you rolled right away People cheered on the day that I fell in love Yeah I fell in love My head was heavy and my clothes they were torn I’d n...

There’s nothing like a big old lie A good record and a smoke to pass time by Music gets me in the mood It all kicks in and I sit back And think about you Sweetness to me That’s all you’ll ever be You mean stuff to me I like the way you’re wearing you...

Now she’s thinking of the red soil and the mango trees In her mind she’s still splashing round down on Cable Beach And her eyes, they are as rich and faraway as the sunset there She’s not taking in a word I say Well I might as well be talking to myself T...

I stood and watched my daddy die, no one could help his plight. He was trying to save our home on the day that the river rose. It came alive, I heard them say, There was nothing we could do as he washed away. Running from the heart of it, right into t...

I thought I’d move to Sydney to get a little piece Of the city life they talk about in the 90’s. Where everyone I meet don’t want to know my name They want to know what I do for a living My songs don’t earn me money or fill my pockets with cash Every ti...

Three months on the road But I’ve still got four more to go There’s a full moon and it’s rising over Austin I can see a big old Texas flag flying in the wind I can’t sleep for all the bright lights of this cheap hotel This is some kind of hellhole I’m li...

Watched the sun sinking low Watched the moon rising slow Watched it move across the sky Till I saw the morning light Up all night Up all night Things just don’t seem right Lordy I think I might Stay up all night We were young long ago Now there’s a...

Don't get much worse, winter South Dakota, papa was as drunk as the bar room rag, saw him one more time, in the warmth of a beggers refuge, still sailing on his, dirty raft. Mama's tears, tasting like sea water, cried on her shoulders while she sleep, s...

We drive an old beat up car We play our out of tune guitars Mother Nature keeps us safe Even when we’re off our face A waif is all I want to be Not better for you no worse for me You’ve got a mobile phone and heaps of money We ain’t got much but at lea...

When I die won't you bury me In the town where I was born 'cause most of my life I been a ramblin' free When I die I wanna come back home See ever since I was a baby child I knew I was born to roam I had to climb to the top of the hill Just to see what...
