"Adelaide"

"Adelaide"



The wisteria on the back verandah is still blooming
And all the great aunts are either insane or dead
Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning
We lived on the bend; it was there I was raised and fed
Counting and running as I go
Down past the hedges all in a row
In Adelaide, Adelaide

Dad's hands used to shake but I never knew he was dying
I was thirteen, I never dreamed he could fall
And all the great aunts were red in the eyes from crying
I rang the bells, I never felt nothing at all
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Cannot bring him back again

Find me a bar or a girl or guitar, now where do you go on a Saturday night?
I own this town, I spilled my wine at the bottom of the statue of Colonel Light
And the streets are so wide, everybody's inside
Sitting in the same chairs they were sitting in last year
(This is my town!)
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Wouldn't drag me back again
To Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide

"After The Show"

"After The Show"



After the show
Where shall we go?
I want to go downtown
Don't want to go uptown no more
Just want to go downtown

Wasn't it grand?

The music, the band
I know it ain't cheap
But I just can't sleep
Know what I mean

I get this feeling inside
It's just a feeling I can't hide
Oh we're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna ball and shout
We're gonna have a real good time
After the show

"Alive And Well"

"Alive And Well"



Hey hey its good to see you
All dressed in white
You're looking thinner, I got your letter
I'm so glad you'll soon be better
I can tell that just by looking
Anyone can tell
You're alive and well

Well well I'd like to kiss you
Right between the eyes
Although they say its against advice
I'll do anything once, twice
So let me kiss you once again
Then let's go ring the bells
You're alive and well

Tell the nurse
You're through the worst
Yeah cancel the hearse
There'll be no business today, today

Yeah yeah you look so precious
If only you could see
Your neck so thin and the sheets so wide
Your cheeks are redder than a blushing bride
The eyes of brides see only new
This news is gonna sell
You're alive and well

Anyone can tell
You're alive and well
Let's go ring the bells
You're alive and well

"Anastasia Changes Her Mind"

"Anastasia Changes Her Mind"



Anastasia left a kiss on the mirror
And a couple of condoms by the bed
I tried to find her on her old number
But I just got her boyfriend instead
Oh it's hard, so hard
When Anastasia changes her mind

So I went back to working the quadrellas
I collected three times in a row
I swear it must have been that kiss on the mirror
That I'd touch with my lips just for luck each time I'd go
Oh it's hard, very hard
When Anastasia changes her mind

Now the numbers were my daily devotion
I was stashing big bills in the floor

Then one night at my door a commotion
Anastasia-at some ungodly hour!
I said 'Baby can I fix you a coffee
And tomorrow let me buy you a dress
Since you've been gone I got lucky'
She just nodded her head and said 'I guess'
Oh it's hard, yeah it's hard
When Anastasia changes her mind

Now 'Stacey' takes the crumbs from the table
And feeds them out back to the birds
Me, I can't even pick the daily double

Since that kiss on the mirror disappeared
Yeah it's hard, ain't it hard
When Anastasia changes her mind

"Ball And Chain"

"Ball And Chain"



I think about you, baby, think about you all the time
No matter what I do you know you're never really off of my mind
But I got trouble here, nobody's cutting me any slack
And every day I stay the knives are getting closer to my back
I'm gone! So long!
It's driving me right out of my brain
Oh I'm never gonna be your ball and chain

When I first came to town, well, everybody shook me by the hand
I flashed it all around, everywhere I turned I had a friend
Oh I got stitched, now things are tearing at the seams
But you've stuck by me, baby, you take away bad dreams

I'm sad! Too bad!
It's driving me right out of my brain
'Cause I'm never gonna be your ball and chain

I think about you, baby, think about the days ahead
I know it won't be long before somebody else is in your bed
I gotta keep moving, something's just about to break
And I won't forget the way you move like a swan on a lake

I'm gone! So long!
It's driving me right out of my brain I
I'm never gonna be your ball and chain

"Beat Of Your Heart"

"Beat Of Your Heart"



Here it comes again, the burning in the blood
The pounding in my brain, the rising of the flood
Every night I pray, begging sleep to come
But it's so far away
Way behind the drumbeat of your heart

I remember well a night of falling snow
Reading you a tale from Edgar Allen Poe
By the firelight, how your dark eyes shone
I had no idea it would be so strong
The beat of your heart!

Your midnight cry, your morning song
Your salty tears, your honey tongue
Every night I pray, begging sleep to come
But it's so far away
Way behind the drumbeat of your heart

"Beautiful Feeling"

"Beautiful Feeling"



We've been keeping out of sight
Waiting 'til the time was right
Now we kiss in broad daylight
Our secret's out
We don't have to hide away
We can walk along Broadway
Let everybody see the way we sway
Our secret's out
You're the one I'm proud to have by my side
You're the one I care for
You're the one that breaks me open wide
I pledge my love to you
You got my soul
It's such a beautiful feeling
It's such a beautiful feeling
It's such a beautiful feeling with you

I have to pinch myself to feel
If what is going on is real
From the gods themselves we steal
Night and day
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread and thee
Lying on a blanket underneath that big old spreading tree
I'm ready as a man can be
Come what may
You're the one I tell my stories to
You're the one I sing my songs for
You're the one that's really getting through
I pledge my love to you
You got my soul
It's such a beautiful feeling
It's such a beautiful feeling
It's such a beautiful feeling with you

You're the one I tell my stories to
You’re the one I adore
You're the one that's really getting through
I pledge my love to you
You got my soul
It's such a beautiful feeling
It's such a beautiful feeling
It's such a beautiful feeling with you

"Before The Old Man Died"

"Before The Old Man Died"



I used to walk in shadows
I stayed out of the sun
I used to sort informtaion
and I used to pass it on

Before the old man died
Before we came alive
Before the old man died

I used to follow orders
Did my duty like a son
But I fell in love with whispers
And I turned them into songs

Before the old man died
Before we came alive
Before the old man died

For the way he ruined our mother
Not enough blood can run
We had plans me and my brother
Every day I cleaned the gun

Before the old man died
Before we came alive
Before the old man died
Before we came alive

"Before Too Long"

"Before Too Long"



Before too long
The one that you're loving
Will wish that he'd never met you
Before too long
He who is nothing
Will suddenly come into view
So let the time keep rolling on
It's on my side
Lonely nights will soon be gone
High is the tide

Before too long
We'll be together
And no one will tear us apart
Before too long
The words will be spoken
I know all the action by heart
As the night-time follows day
I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day
Any dog can win

Shut the shade, do not fear anymore
Here I come creeping round your back door

Before too long I'll be repeating
What's happened before in my mind
Before too long
Over and over
Just like a hammer inside

As the night-time follows day
I'm closing in
Every dog will have his day
Any dog can win

Before too long
Before too long
