Summer in Australia

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.

Right Now, Right Here

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

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

Bella Tragedy
02:56
|
|

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

Brisbane Town

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.
