Feel that summer breeze a-blowing Blowing better times around us to our door Feel that summer rain a-falling I feel it wash away the dreary winter's day In the summer, it's a summer, it's a summer in Australia In the summer, it's a summer, it's a summer in Australia Da da la da daaaaa! Feel that summer heat a-burning My steering wheel's so hot I cannot drive my car We're out here at a summer festival We'll hope and sing and dream that we might be stars Sipping beer out in the backyard we're out here round the barbie, laughing with our friends Talkin' 'bout old times and good times We're living in the moment, the fun just never ends! It's a-summer in Australia, we love it so much, we put it in our song.

Love and truth exist, I know this to be true I see it now that consciousness is clearly shining through Finding peace and harmony is what we're striving for Not relying on consumables to bring happiness to our door I have nothing left to say now, nothing more to do There's a bliss in the awareness of the me inside of you Take this gift of consciousness, alleviate your fear There is nothing more to wait for It's all right now right here. Appreciate the moment, fully what it's worth Loving truthful choices will save this dying Earth What you believe will come about Do you like what you see? You have the power to change your choice Decide your destiny

Bad Name 03:08
I did it again I let myself down I can't complain Whatever I had, is gone. It's happened so many times before Then they come knocking on my door All I want is to escape... my bad name Why do you trust me? I let you all down I learn these hard lessons I'll never forget what they've taught It's happened so many times before Then they come knocking on my door All I want is to escape... my bad name I try to do the right thing Most of the time, anyway The time that I miss it I get reminded by fate And now I try and start again But these thoughts just never end How long with my bad name Be my bad name It's happened so many times before Then they come knocking on my door All I want is to escape... my bad name

Officially single, realistically in love It's hard to explain, I've come through so much pain But now it's gonna last, we didn't go too fast You are all to me, give me time and you will see With the ticking of the clock, together we will rock Understand your lovers needs Try it out it worked for me If you love them set them free

As I lay here on your bed, waiting for you to return Should I fight these feelings? Will I crash and burn? My heart says yes, my head says no, with this become a distant memory? Should I stay or should I go? This love is like a bella tragedy My life, my love, my pain, my faith I have no reason to hide My smile, my tears, my joy, my fears I should feel free to confide I can't hide forever, soon I'll know either way Will my heart break anyway? I just want to stay Look up and see the air that I breathe, you are the one for me I'll always hold a special place, thank you for setting me free

Why'd I move to Brisbane Town? Because of a maiden fair Things not right in Adelaide, I should've stayed right there We were good for a little while, although the flight was cold Setting up in Brisbane town, with you I wanna grow old You were always on my mind I found it hard to leave behind Any decision that I make... Then things started going astray, same issues in our lives Planning you a special day, I kept it as a big surprise But the night it fell apart in my hands, it ended up just me The tears I cried were long and hard, for us I thought I'd grieved You were always on my mind I found it hard to leave behind Any decision that I make Can't just be based on... We parted ways the very next day, her sorrow was intense Was it the thought of losing me or the timing of events So next I did some hurtful things, so cold I was to you I didn't understand the hurt you felt, the pain you were going through You were always on my mind I found it hard to leave behind Any decision that I make Can't just be left to... How can someone change so much, this woman you've come to be Now everyone else can enjoy your spark, the rest of the world not me And finally you were over me, another guy you've found And when you broke that news to me, my heart it hit the ground So I drank and smoked and screamed and cried, my insides began to tear I don't know how I'd have gone without my mexican teddy bear You were always on my mind I found it hard to leave behind Any decision that I make Can't just rely on.... Decided to stay in Brisbane town, friendship was my thought Sleepless nights and pain filled days, I sought mary for support No income now I've lost my job, more problems on the scene I never even see you no more, it's time to start plan B So now I'm down in Melbourne town, music is my life I've said goodbye to Brisbane town, and all of that trouble and strife You were always on my mind I found it hard to leave behind Any decision that I make Can't just be based on fate.
