"Beggar On The Street Of Love"

"Beggar On The Street Of Love"



In my time I have been a rich man giving favours
All the world at my feet and its many different flavours
I sucked it all dry
Now I realise
I'm a beggar on the street of love

All the rest have no charm
There's nothing they can give me
What I want makes me poor
In this great big world of plenty
I'm holding out my cup
Only you can fill it up
I'm a beggar on the street of love

On my own I'm standing, so patiently
And my heart keeps calling, calling out for you to see
You look right through me and you pass me by

Take my hand, lead me to your loving milk and honey
Cover me, keep me from the night so cold and rainy
Please, I'm down on my knees
I'm a beggar on the street of love

"Bicentennial"

"Bicentennial"



A ship is sailing into harbour
A party's waiting on the shore
And they're running up the flag now
And they want us all to cheer

Charlie's head nearly reaches the ceiling
But his feet don't touch the floor
From a prison issue blanket his body's swinging
He won't dance any more

Take me away from your dance floor
Leave me out of your parade
I have not the heart for dancing
For dancing on his grave

Hunted man out on the Barcoo
Broken man on Moreton Bay
Hunted man across Van Diemen's
Hunted man all swept away

Take me away from your dance floor
Leave me out of your parade
I have not the heart for dancing
For dancing on his grave

"Big Fine Girl"



She's a big fine girl from the country
A big fine girl from the country
She's a rolling queen and she wants me
A rolling queen and she wants me
Well, I'm gonna ride with my big fine girl all night long

We met beneath the tall pines
Met beneath the tall pines
We lay down on the green grass
Lay down on the green grass
Yeah, I'm gonna ride with my rolling queen all night long

I woke up to a knocking
Woke up to a knocking
She stood and darkened my door
Stood and darkened my door
Oh, I'm gonna ride with my big fine girl all night long

"Big Heart"

"Big Heart"



Listen to me before you leave
I've got something to say to you
One thing I know, I've got good eyes
I don't like what I see
Just like a V8 under the hood
Of a car made of nails and wood
Your big heart's gonna break your little body

You light the lamp, I follow you down
I stand right by your side
Out in the dark, it's bitter, it's cold
I don't much like this ride
Sometimes the motor never can stop
Sometimes the wine overrunneth the cup
Your big heart's gonna break your little body

Everyone's asleep, you're still awake
You know you give more than I can take
Your big heart's gonna break your little body

"Billy Baxter"

"Billy Baxter"



I want to be like Billy Baxter
and lose my limitations
I want to be like Billy Baxter
and do imitations

Billy's got a thousand faces
he's a lover and a gambler too
Just to see him go through his paces
is a lesson for all the crew

'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn
'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn

Billy's in love with abandon
but he never seems to lose control
He can walk right through disaster
everyone in pieces but he's still whole

I want to be like Billy Baxter
and lose my limitations
I want to be like Billy Baxter
and do imitations

'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn
'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn

Hold it steady Billy
while I pour the wine
When you think you're ready Billy
play that pantomime for me one time

I want to be like Billy Baxter
I want to be like Billy Baxter
I want to be like Billy Baxter
I want to be like Billy Baxter

"Blue Stranger"



Hello, blue stranger
Sitting there all alone
With your glass of sorrow you seem so far from home
Maybe you will let me buy a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too

Hello, blue stranger
I haven't seen you around
I know every reason for leaving town
We might know each other before this night is through
I'm a blue stranger too

And strangers fall in love every day
All lovers were strangers once, just like us
A little unsure of their way

Hello, blue stranger
Will you take a chance?
I might be mistaken but I see meaning in your glance
Maybe this could be the start of something new
I'm a blue stranger too

And strangers fall in love all the time
All lovers were strangers once, just like us
A little confused-sharing eyes

Yeah, strangers fall in love every night
All lovers were strangers once, just like us
Trying to get the words right

Hello, blue stranger
Hello, blue stranger
This one's on me

"Blues For Skip"



Babe, there's no water in the well
Babe, there's no water in the well
I got a funny feeling we're in for quite a spell

Babe, I can't find a vein
Babe, I can't find a vein
I'm digging and I'm digging, I got the shaft again

Little cloud, little cloud way up in the air
Little cloud, little cloud way up in the air
Well I just ain't receiving, little cloud's moved on somewhere

Babe, there's no water in the well
Babe, there's no water in the well
I'm digging and I'm digging ...

"Blush"

"Blush"



She walks by the Indian Ocean
As the sun sinks in the west
From the beach a breeze is blowing
Playing with her cotton dress

All I want, I confess
I just want to see her blush

When we kiss she tastes so salty
On her cheek and on her neck
I can't wait 'til I get with her
So I can kiss her salty breasts

All I want, I confess
I just want to see her blush

In her room there's a little window
With a view right down to the shore
When night falls she lights a candle
Oh her skin's a coat of fire!

All I want, I confess
I just want to see her blush
I just want to see her blush
All across her chest
Take off her cotton dress
I just want to see her blush

"Bradman"

"Bradman"



Sydney, 1926, this is the story of a man
Just a kid in from the sticks, just a kid with a plan
St George took a gamble, played him in first grade
Pretty soon that young man showed them how to flash the blade
And at the age of nineteen he was playing for the State
From Adelaide to Brisbane the runs did not abate
He hit 'em hard, he hit 'em straight

He was more than just a batsman
He was something like a tide
He was more than just one man, he could take on any side
They always came for Bradman 'cause fortune used to hide in the palm of his hand

A team came out from England
Wally Hammond wore his felt hat like a chief
All through the summer of '28, '29 they gave the greencaps no relief
Some reputations came to grief
They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
And in the hour of greatest slaughter the great avenger is being born
But who then could have seen the shape of things to come?
In Bradman's first test he went for eighteen and for one
They dropped him like a gun
Now big Maurice Tate was the trickiest of them all
And a man with a wisecracking habit
But there's one crack that won't stop ringing in his ears
'Hey Whitey, that's my rabbit'
Bradman never forgot it

He was more than just a batsman
He was something like a tide
More than just one man, he was a match for any side
Fathers took their sons' cause fortune used to hide in the palm of his hand

England 1930 and the seed burst into flower
All of Jackson's grace failed him, it was Bradman was the power
He murdered them in Yorkshire, he danced for them in Kent
He laughed at them in Leicestershire; Leeds was an event
Three hundred runs he took and rewrote all the books
That really knocked those gents
The critics could not comprehend this nonchalant phenomenon
'Why this man is a machine' they said 'Even his friends say he isn't human'
Even friends have to cut something

He was more than just a batsman He was something like a tide
More than just one man, he was half the side
Fathers took their sons' cause fortune used to hide in the of his hand

Summer 1932 and Captain Douglas had a plan
When Larwood bowled to Bradman it was more than man to man
And staid Adelaide nearly boiled over as rage ruled over sense
When Oldfield hit the ground they nearly jumped the fence
Now Bill Woodfull was as fine a man as ever went to wicket
And the bruises on his body that day showed that he could stick it
But to this day he's still quoted and only he could wear it
'There are two sides out there today and only one of them’s playing cricket'
He was longer than a memory, bigger than a town
His feet they used to sparkle and he always kept them on the ground
Fathers took their sons who never lost the sound of the roar of the grandstand

Now shadows grow longer and there's so much more yet to be told
But we're not getting any younger, so let the part tell the whole
Now the players all wear colours, the circus is in town
I no longer can go down there, down to that sacred ground

He was more than just a batsman
He was something like a tide
More than just one man, he was half the bloody side
They always came for Bradman 'cause fortune used to hide in the palm of his hand

"Brand New Ways"

"Brand New Ways"



I've been giving it all away
All my precious pearls to swine
You took my treasures and trashed them
I was blind
Now I've got to find
Some brand new ways

You've been taking it all around
Just like a little honey bee
You took your honey pot and jammed it
You did me wrong
Now the time has come
For brand new ways

Yes I heard your explanations
And I swallowed all your lies
I didn't know I could be so foolish
I never saw it in your eyes
I’ve been hanging on much too long
I've been dangling on a thin, thin thread
Well I'd be better off dead and buried
For all time
Unless I can find
Some brand new ways
Got to find
Some brand new ways
