I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perahaps its just my imagination Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night From overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright It's just overkill Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away |

Pull out the stop plugs, drain all the waste Who needs it anyway Fill all the big holes, leave no trace No sign of yesterday I wash all the dishes and I clean up my place No sign of yesterday I stare at the photographs of your dark face No sign of yesterday Out in the yard was such a lovely place It's where we used to play Inside, outside you can feel and taste No sign of yesterday And I can't hear you calling I can't hear you calling I can't hear you anymore Metal ships are falling This old car keeps stalling Always seems to be the way Pick up the pieces and go dig out the dead Then you can go to bed Night is the stealer and time is the test No sign of yesterday Pull out the stop plugs, drain all the waste Who needs it anyway Fill all the big holes, leave no trace No sign of yesterday And I can't hear you calling I can't hear you calling I can't hear you anymore Metal ships are falling This old car keeps stalling Always seems to be the way |

Jump down the shelters to get away The boys are cockin' up their guns Tell us general, is it party time? If it is can we all come Don't think that we don't know Don't think that we're not trying Don't think we move too slow It's no use after crying Saying It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake After the laughter as died away And all the boys have had their fun No surface noise now, not much to say They've got the bad guys on the run Don't try to say you're sorry Don't say he drew his gun They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie He's not the only one saying It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake Tell us commander, what do you think? 'Cos we know that you love all that power Is it on then, are we on the brink? We wish you'd all throw in the towel We'll not fade out too soon Not in this finest hour Whistle your favourite tune We'll send a card and flower Saying It's a mistake, it's a mistake It's a mistake, it's a mistake |

Feel so washed up today
Haven't really got much to say Blood on the pillow on my bed Explains the pain that's in my head Sometimes I don't know just where to go Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well 'Cos I'm walking on a high wire High wire Oh won't someone let me in I'm stinking and I'm full of gin No need to close the door so fast I'm very fragile not built to last Sometimes I don't know just where to go Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well 'Cos I'm walking on a high wire High wire Have to pull it together We're in for some stormy weather Have to pull it together We're in for some nasty weather High wire, high wire high wire, high wire high wire, high wire It really isn't too much fun Sitting round waiting for the night to come It's almost time to put on my suit of cool I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool Sometimes I don't know just where to go Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well 'Cos I'm walking on a high wire |

I like to pull the plug in the tub Sit and watch the water flow down the drain I like to, I like to I like to look at pictures in a book Never read the writing just put it down I like to, I like to CHORUS I'd really like to know What would you like to do I'd really like to I like to watch the telly With the sound turned down Listen to the stereo Turn the channels around I like to, I like to I like to eat a sandwich with the lot, yum yum Putting on everything that I've got I like to, I like to CHORUS |

Give me no restrictions on what I do or say Don't speak of tomorrow when it's still today Leave me to my selfish ways, I'm well enough alone That is what I tell myself as I stumble home Derelict across the street in the garbage bin Looks like he's found something neat judging by his grin Such a long long way to go, hope I get there soon Wish I could jump a great height and land in my front room Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh Wake up in the morning make sure I'm still alive Percolate the coffee opens up my eyes Hear the cricket calling switch on the TV Sit and stare for hours and cheer Dennis Lillee Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh Through the de-restriction zone we pass a long wide load Laugh at the reflections of cat's eyes on the road Freeways hypnotize me, up up and away Hope we make it home tonight Be that as it may Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh |
