Gulf of Carpentaria

Capo 7^th

VERSE

Em                                       C

I know you’ve something on your mind

For many reasons now combined

I've become a floating wreck

BRIDGE

Am          C      Em

Across the Gulf of Carpentaria

VERSE

I’ve been selfish to extreme
I didn't mean though to be mean
The sea is doing things to me

CHORUS

G   Em         C               G

Oh my darling, tell me I’m a fool

I won’t lie to you, you know I know it too

Oh my darling, I’ll remember to be

All the many things, you make me want me to be

VERSE
I'll make it up to you on land
When I'm back up on my feet
When all this rocking can't be remembered


BRIDGE


CHORUS

The dancer

VERSE

E

He found in the back of a second hand shop at the bottom of a big brown box

A

She was worn and she was old

B

But with time he knew she’d dance again

VERSE

Took her for a pop, to his workshop, and worked on her around the clock

New clothes new hair, new make-up new stare

Polished all her circuitry and hoped that she would dance again

BRIDGE

A                                                      B

Her model was the best back in the day

A                                      E

When robots were first the rage

A

But they’d been broken up or broken down

B                                  E

And she was the only one left

VERSE

Finally he turned her on, and put a record on, but she wouldn’t move to any song

For months he played her music, but he couldn’t make her dance again

VERSE

She sat there at the back of his restoration shop for years as a talking point

Many came to see and many came to play, but none could make her dance again

BRIDGE

E                      B                                        A                                               E

Then one day, as he was closing the shop, a young man appeared by her side

He wore old fashioned clothes, held an antique instrument and spoke in the strangest voice

He said “old man I’ve heard of her, and I’ll make you a wager,

B

that if I play I'll break her trance”

VERSE

The restorer gave a laugh and said “of course that you can try but it will cost you that very nice guitar

the greatest have all played, but none have made her dance again”

MIDDLE

He picked up his guitar, readied himself, played a long forgotten song 
Suddenly he burst into life, strutted and twirled, breakdanced and whirled

It sure was a sight to behold

Then they walked out the door, and he never saw either one again

But he’s not bitter he’s not sad, turns out she was a god awful dancer

Letting go

Letting go

VERSE

Em     C

Some days you feel happy, some days your head hangs low

Some days you’re sure about life, other days you just don’t know

Well take control of your feelings, be warm and be kind
Em                                            Am                       C

You can’t control the factors, but you can your state of mind

CHORUS

G   Em   Am   C

Do you ever, hold a grudge and make it bigger?

Do you ever, find yourself wishing you’d done something different?
Do you ever? uh huh, I bet you do

VERSE
Lift up your anchor, break the chains from above

Slip off the noose, open yourself to the highest love

Loads shouldn't be cherished, it's stupid to be proud of its weight
Em                                                              Am                                       C

Don’t get caught in the circle of worry, detachment is what you need to learn

CHORUS

Do you ever, crave for things you don’t really need?

Do you ever, lie in your bed in a fit of worry?
Do you ever? oh yeah, I know I do

MIDDLE

Am
Worry is a virus

C
Deal with it and let it go

Forget the people 
who you know have wronged you

Not for their sakes
But for yours

Forget your if onlys
Let go of what you can’t control

Em
Simplicity is the secret
Am                                  C
You're the master of your happiness

CHORUS

Do you ever, hold a grudge and make it bigger?

Do you ever, find yourself wishing you’d done something different?
Do you ever? uh huh, I bet you do

I've been waiting for you

Capo 7th

VERSE
C
I've been waiting for you
Am
For an hour or two
F         G
But my patience has not worn out

Cos there's nothing it's true
That I'd rather do
Than spend my life waiting for you

BRIDGE
F.                                       G
To be the first to see your face
When you walk into the day

CHORUS (chords as verse)
I see you're wearing your favourite shawl
That you bought from the market stall
I got it too I collect them all
It's stalker protocol

And you go to meet your friends
At a place they recommend
A dirty little cafe
You blindly obey

I'm an unappreciated stalker

VERSE
I've been waiting for you
For an hour or two
But you make no move to come outside

You've got so much to say
You could sit there all day
And still not get around to the point

BRIDGE
You're going to make me wait all day
You never notice anyway

CHORUS
I've been going through you rubbish
I know last night you had fish
I know the state of your finances
And the dire balance of your current account

You don't appreciate my effort
I even copied you passport
You buy too much mail order
All I want is a restraining order

I'm committing a major crime
You're taking up too much time
I've no more space on my recorder
All I want is a restraining order

MIDDLE
Em
I want to stalk somebody
C
With more going on

I want to stalk somebody
Who notices I'm there

I want to stalk somebody
Who gets out a lot

I want to stalk somebody
With more on their mind

CHORUS

Queensland rail

CHORUS
C.              Am
Queensland rail, get there in comfort
Queensland rail, get there in style
Queensland rail ohohohoh
Queensland rail

VERSE
Dm.                     Am
Some people drive, arriving hot and sweaty
Some people sail, you’ve got to be more than ready
Some people fly, you don’t see anything
Some people cycle, but that's dangerous

BRIDGE
Dm
It's the best mode in the nation
F                               G
Life's a journey not a destination

CHORUS

VERSE
The staff are friendly, they're all so very nice
The food's amazing, and not a bad price
The routes are straight, you don't go rocking
It's mostly outback, there's little stopping

BRIDGE + CHORUS

MIDDLE
F                              Am
Leave your car, think of the safety of your loved ones
F                                     Am
Why you’re driving so far? They’ll about you out on the road
Dm              F              G
Let the train take the strain

The dancing doll

You can't say no to love

Capo 8^th

G

She’d been courted by barons, who offered her their lands

Pursued by all the richest men, promised a fortune for her hand

She said no to diamonds

She said no to gold

She said no to money and the riches of the world

But you can’t say no to love

Corteggiata da baroni, che le offrivano dobloni

Perseguitata da i prestigiosi, offrivano fortune per la sua mano

Lei disse no a i diamanti

Lei disse no all’oro

Lei disse no al denaro, e a tutte le ricchezze

Ma non puoi dire no all’amore

VERSE

She’d always put her job first, and thought of her career

Sacrificed her friendships, never let them near

She said no to happiness

She said no to joy

She said no to the life outside that others all enjoy

Determinata ne suo lavoro, e ossessionata dalla carrier

Sacrificiava le amicizie ponendo una barriera

Lei disse no alla felicita

Lei disse no ai piaceri

Lei disse no ai confort dei quali molti van fieri

Ma non puoi dire no all’amore

VERSE

I tried to win her heart with kindness in many different ways

I wanted to make her care for me, the way I cared for her

She said no to flowers

She said no to cards

She said no to all my advances, until something clicked inside

Cos you can’t say no to love

Sure you can say maybe

Or put it off for a day

But you can’t say no to love

Provavo a conquistare, il suo cuore

In tanti modi differenti, mostrarle imiei sentimenti

Lei disse no ai fiori

Lei disse no alle carte

Lei disse no alle mie avances finche qualcosa scatto

Non puoi dire no all’amore

Riportarla a casa

Everybody wants her home

Capo 7^th

VERSE

C                 Am

The trade winds blow her back

C                   Am

And the sun warms her head

F                          G

The elements combine

                    C

To bring her back home

Il vento soffia alle sue spalle

E il sole bacia il suo corpo

Gli elementi combaciano

Per riportala a casa

VERSE

The seagulls show the way

The dolphins ride alongside

The sea creatures are working together

To bring her back home

I gabbiani le mostrano la via

I delfini l’accompagnano

Le creature marine collaborano

Per riportarla a casa

MIDDLE

G                        F

But even all combined

C

Won’t persuade her to return

F

She sends them all her love

G                        C

But she’s married to the sea

Anche se tutto combacia

Non persuade lei a ritornare

Lei invia loro tutto il suo amore

Ma e sposata con il mare

VERSE

Her family give her reasons to return

Her friends are calling her back

Everyone’s working together

To bring her back home

Everyone’s working together

To bring her back home

La sua famiglia le da ragioni per ritornare

I suoi amici la reclamano

Tutti collaborano

Per riportarla a casa

Tutti collaborano

Per riportarla a casa

34 years and a birthday at sea

Capo 5th

VERSE
C                    Am
The captain - can be a prick
C                          Am

The boat can rock – I will get sick

F                                             C

You can’t always choose your crew

F                           Am

Sometimes your crew choose you

F                              C

I lie on my back all day

Am                         F

And have nothing nice to say

C                                                       G

I’m cursing the world, and everything that lives

CHORUS

Am                            F

But as long as you are by my side

C                            Am

Everything will turn out right

F                    G                  C

You are the blessing that I count everyday

VERSE

The wind blows too much

Then the wind blows not enough

I’ve had enough of the sea

And the seas had enough of me

I know I sound like a bore

We’re not going anywhere

I’m raging inside, as the motor drums my head

CHORUS

CHORUS 2

I count the hairs on your head

The toes upon your feet

My blessings are so many everyday

MIDDLE

It’s my birthday

You couldn’t bake a cake

You got so upset

But you found a way around it

It was a wonderful birthday

I wrote this song

Which will go on when my mind is gone

Which won’t be very long

Cos I’m old now, and going grey

CHORUS

Waiting for you

Capo 7th

Condescension

Capo 6th (A#m D#m F# F7 C)

                             

VERSE

Em

I may act foolish sometimes

I may fall down a lot

Am

I’m an easy target

C              B7                  Em

But please don’t laugh at me

VERSE

I do some stupid things

I often don’t think before I speak

I sometimes embarrass you with your friends

But please don’t laugh at me

CHORUS

G                                               Em

Condescension  will get us nowhere

G                                  C

Condescension’s a bad idea

G                         Em     D/F#            Em

Condescension will be the end of us

VERSE

I may lack social graces

I know I’m rude sometimes

My foot might live in my mouth

But please don’t laugh at me

VERSE

I can seem to act unwise

And be quite a gullible fool

I’m an easy target

But please don’t laugh at me

CHORUS

MIDDLE

C                    G

I know I do it too

C                     G

I’m as guilty as you

Em                    C                                D/F#               

But now I see it we should nip it in the bud

Left to grow

It will kill our love I know

When snide comments take the place of sweet nothings

CHORUS x2

Killing the kids

VERSE
D                Bm
Processed, preserved
D                G
Frozen and fried
D              Bm
Set in their ways
D                   G
Too long, to change
Bm                                    D
And the truth's too terrible to face
Bm                       A                D
They're killing the children with food

VERSE
Their bodies, engourged
Their minds clogged up
As their hearts grow weaker
Assaulted every day
It's an execution so crude
They're killing the children with food

MIDDLE
Bm                                 D
But it must be alright as it's offered
G                                   A
No one willingly do them harm?

And the providers are but  a link in the chain
And each feels free from blame

Bm                                       D
They say nothing can be proved
Bm                       A                 D
They're killing the children with food

VERSE (INSTRUMENTAL)

VERSE

Mouthful by mouthful
Plate by plate
As God provides
They abdicated their fate
And they called the prophet rude
They're killing the children with food
They're killing the children with food
They're killing the children with food

LYRICS ONLY:

Processed, preserved
Frozen and fried
Set in their ways
Too long, to change
And the truth's too terrible to face
They're killing the children with food

Their bodies, engorged
Their minds clogged up
As their hearts grow weaker
Assaulted every day
It's an execution so crude
They're killing the children with food

But it must be alright as it's offered
No one would willingly do them harm

And the providers are but  a link in the chain
And each feels free from blame

They say nothing can be proved
They're killing the children with food

Mouthful by mouthful
Plate by plate
As God provides
They abdicated their fate
And they called the prophet rude
They're killing the children with food
They're killing the children with food
They're killing the children with food

Fellini's dream

CHORUS
F#m

Like a force from above

Garage sale

There's a garage sale down on Julia Street
On Julia Street there's a garage sale
There's a garage sale down on Julia Street
On Julia Street there's a garage sale

Food groups

Oh oh we're getting our food groups

Elizabeth Taylor's gone to the big screen in the sky

VERSE
She's picked up with Richard
Just where they left off
We'll be hearing the thunder soon

She's taken her diamonds
And is laying them out
It won't be the stars you see tonight

CHORUS
Elizabeth Taylor's gone to the big screen in the sky

VERSE
Over where it's dry
She'll do her Deboir
And bless the lands with rain

Where it needs sun
She'll simply smile
And make a beautiful day

CHORUS

MIDDLE
She went happily
Her work was done down here
Now she's working for us up there

CHORUS

The buskers

C#  F#  C# G#

CHORUS
It is hard on the road
Rolling from town to town
It is hard on the road
On the days when you ain't got no dough

VERSE
The life of a busker is thankless and long
You grind it out, song by song

The pros have a PA and sell their CDs
It seems like we're doing it for free

CHORUS

VERSE
Well you pick out a corner and mark out your patch
Stand there then throw down your hat

You're playing for hours as the masses rush by
With your empty hat staring at you back

CHORUS

VERSE
We're running out of options, but the streets have a heart
At least there's the chance of some change

Playing in bars is the long road to nowhere
You only get your name on the wall

CHORUS

VERSE
We're just like street workers and we're pimping ourselves
The punters pay nikels and dimes

Our job is no job but it's better than that job
A blow job is no job at all

CHORUS

Takaka Hill

VERSE

Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill
There's a climb in old New Zealand
Takaka Hill
That cyclists talk of with a shaking hand
Takaka Hill
900 metres and hairpin bends
Takaka Hill
That bloody climb never ends

BRIDGE
A
Ah oh, it's a long climb
Takes a long time

VERSE
Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill
Where's the top? There's no way of knowing
Takaka Hill
You think you've made it but it just keeps on going
Takaka Hill
Past cars with burnt out clutches
Takaka Hill
Other riders walking on crutches

BRIDGE

CHORUS
A
I want to climb it but I'm not very fit
It's just a hill son, get over it

VERSE
Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill
It keeps on going there's no respite
Takaka Hill
Must push on, you're running out of light
Takaka Hill
Pain is temporary, failure's forever
Takaka Hill
Stay on my wheel son, we'll make it together

BRIDGE

VERSE
Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill, Takaka Hill
It's just as terrible on the way down

Takaka Hill
Burning your breaks every corner you come round
Takaka Hill
Concentrating don't look over the edge
Takaka Hill
They'll find your body in a mess in a hedge

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Irretrievable childhood

VERSE
G
I once walked with joy through life
          Em                       G
Saw the wonder in every sight
                        C            G
All was bright, all was new
                 Em                  G
A will to learn a will to do
                           C                       D
But I grew up too fast and saw too much
                          C                     G
And then magic lost its touch
         C                        D
And I know an angel cried
             C                     G
When the child in me died

VERSE
When I was young the world was fun
I saw the beauty in everyone
Places were new and seemed to glow
But now they've gone to a place I can't go
Accepted the rays of the rationalist
Instead of the prize of the endless bliss
And I know an angel cried
When the child in me died

VERSE
But older now I've opened eyes
Accepted truth from a wiser guide
That our light is bright beneath this form

And I felt an angel's pride
When the child in me smiled

Love is happiness

VERSE
B                                        A
It's not that I was outwardly rude
G#                                 G
I just didn't show my gratitude

So busy building up myself
I forgot about everyone else

CHORUS
Love is happiness
Happiness is love

VERSE
Just by simply saying thank you
For all the little things that you do
Gradually and slowly I saw
All I had to be thankful for

CHORUS

VERSE
So I've learnt now what it's about
You only get back what you put out
Not just generally good will
But a blazing unconditional pill

CHORUS

VERSE
It's impossible to be unhappy
When you're radiating out love
The single cause of ultimate joy
Is a pure feeling of love

CHORUS

The Collective

VERSE
G                                              C
Baby, I thought you'd always be there
G                                           C
Baby, I thought of you as a rock
D                        C
So I left you, all alone
D                          C
And you did fine, on your own
                 G
Without me

VERSE
Baby, I let you slip from my mind
Baby, you knew I wasn't true
Still I thought that, when I came back
We would get right, back on track
I was foolish

CHORUS
C                                                     D
Everything always works out for the best
C                                                       D
I'm happy now I've got this off my chest
C                         D
No look backs, no regrets
C                                                            D
We can both go on to bigger and brighter things

VERSE
Baby, this must be what I want
Baby, cos otherwise I'd stay
I want to, see you grow
And know that you can, happily go
Without me

VERSE
Baby, I wanted to see the world
Baby, we were both in a rut
I felt it now, and then
I'd do the same, again
Without me

CHORUS

VERSE
Baby, I've got to let you go
Baby, I harbour no regrets
After all, you're just a company
And you do fine, I can see

Troubadour

Capo 4th

VERSE
B(G)
I'm a troubadour, it's my life
E(C)
Riding around the world on my bike
G#m(Em)
Some days you get sun
Some days you get rain
F#(D)
Some days you get wind and get blown back again

VERSE
I'm a troubadour, and I roam
Ain't got no place I call home
Sleep on other couches
In other's cars
But mostly sleep under the stars

VERSE
I'm a troubadour and I play
In a different town every day
The street light's my spotlight
The pavement's my stage
I'm a throwback to a bygone age

CHORUS
F#(D)     E(C)              B(C)
Some days don't go so well
F#(D)     E(C)              B(C)
Some days I'm tired as hell
G#m(Em)                 E(C)
I remember to count my blessings
G#m(Em)                 E(C)
Remember back to this
G#m(Em)                 E(C)         F#(D)
And say at least I wasn't in an office

VERSE
I'm a troubadour and I write
A new song every night
I write about people
The things that I've seen
I record the events from wherever I've been

VERSE
I'm a troubadour and I ride
All around the world on my bike
Some people say "wow"
Some people say "stay"
Some people say "please move away"

VERSE
I'm a troubadour I've come far
With my Martin travel guitar
People ask me
Every single day
"What kind of instrument is that you play?"

CHORUS

VERSE
I'm a troubadour and I've been
Around the world and I've seen
By bike and by car
By boat and by train
Got to learn how to fly an aeroplane

VERSE
I'm a troubadour and I play
In a different place everyday
In bars I tell stories


In cafes I croom

But the best shows are in people's living rooms
I'm a troubadour x3

Good life on the road

CHORUS
C                                    Am
It's a good life on the road
F                                              G
When you've got friends like these

It's a good life on the road
When you've got a smile on your face

It's a good life on the road
When you've got love in your heart

VERSE
C                                                                                            Am
Well we met up in Melbourne and readied our bikes for the road
Alec and Rory, as up for it as they could be
Veronica stayed there, back in mission control

BRIDGE

The stars were aligned, the wind was behind
G
I said it's going to be a beautiful day

CHORUS

VERSE
We busked in the small towns along Australia's coast
Young and old loved it "we need more of that round here"
The 'Port Pedallers' were a blast, the Strum Club so much fun
We met so many characters and every day was a blur

BRIDGE
We rode almost to Sydney, with the sun on our backs
You know it's going to be a beautiful day

CHORUS

MIDDLE
Em                                                              G
But it all went to shit, when we stayed in Byron Bay
We didn't record, life just happens that way
I hit the road with Maria, and a chapter ended there

BRIDGE
The morale of the story, is stay on your bike
If you want to have a beautiful day

CHORUS

Dumpster diving

VERSE
G
For some time now I've had my eye on you
Em
And to win your heart, I've made my mission to do
C                                                                                                D
It's gonna have to be something special, cos you're widely desired

You're a healthy girl, who loves to cook and eat
And I know the way, that our hearts can meet
Together we'll create the biggest feast you've ever seen

BRIDGE

Em
I may be a poor man

C
But I've got a secret plan

D
To the banquet of your dreams.... Gonna take you...

CHORUS
G
Dumpster diving
C
Put you in the mood honey
D
Just look at all this food mummy
G
Dumpster diving

VERSE
Bring a torch and gloves, and a crate to stand on
And when jump in choose something soft to land on
Then sink into the delights down below

It might look dirty, a bit of a mess
But open the black bags the food's sealed and fresh
All the food the supermarkets aren't allowed to sell

BRIDGE
But before we go
There's one thing you need to know
Don't open the meat bag baby

CHORUS
Dumpster diving
Put you in the mood honey
Just look at all this food mummy
Dumpster diving

CHORUS (INSTRUMENTAL)

VERSE
I know the bakery with same day bread
The cheese cake shop with an amazing spread
I'll take you to the finest spots all over   town

Some say it's risky, but you'll find it fun
If security come, get ready to run
It's not illegal, we're doing the world a favour

BRIDGE
We'll finish by the florists, forget a spray
I'll make you a stunning bouquet
To end our perfect day

CHORUS
Dumpster diving
Put you in the mood honey
Just look at all this food mummy
Dumpster diving

MIDDLE
  Em
Then we'll pack it away in the middle of the night
             D
And   make love by the fridge light

CHORUS
Dumpster diving
Gonna make sweet love tonight
Dumpster diving
Gonna make it sweet tonight
Dumpster diving

Gonna make it sweet tonight
Dumpster diving

Hold on baby

VERSE
F#
I've seen you looking
B
At the other cars on the lot
F#
And I know you're thinking
C#
Whether you could do better than what you've got

VERSE
I know you're wondering
Whether you're ready for a change
And if it isn't time
You moved on again

CHORUS
But you've got to hold on baby
To the love we've got
Cos a love like this
Doesn't happen a lot

You've got to hold on baby
To the lover we have
Cos the love we have
Is a rare and beautiful thing

VERSE
I seen you dreaming
Of the other side of the hill
If the grass is greener
If you're young enough still

I watch you remember
Things you've had before
And thinking about
How you don't have them anymore

CHORUS

MIDDLE
D#m                  B
Thinking that way
D#m                  B
Won't make you happy no way
D#m                 
Because the moment
B                          C#
Will always get away

VERSE
I've seen you counting
Your options in your mind
Deciding whether
To run or be left behind

CHORUS
