Come Back Again
Ross Wilson



Heading In The Right Direction
Mark Punch and Gary Paige

Since I was a small girl
I've always been alone
I'm trying so hard to find someone
I could call my own
People that I looked at
Were always twos and three
Always on the outside
Nobody wanted me

Am I heading in the right direction
For your loving and affection
Is this going to be a brand new start
Is this the way to your heart

When you came along boy
You were different from the rest
Never tried to hurt me
Like so many men before
Made me feel important
Something special in your eye
Knowing that you care for me
Has made me come alive

Am I heading in the right direction
For your loving and affection
Is this going to be a brand new start
Is this the way to your heart

Day to day I hope and pray
That this feeling is really going to grow
And I know

Now that I'm a woman
Now that you are here
Changes all around me
Going to wipe away my tears
No more pain and heartache
No more sleepless nights
We're going to stay together
For the rest of our lives
Don't you know that we're

Am I heading in the right direction
For your loving and affection
Is this going to be a brand new start
Is this the way to your heart
Repeat to fade

I Remember When I Was Young
Matt Taylor

Well I remember when I was young
The World had just began and I was happy
I used to wonder about the earth and how it moved
Around the sun
So snappy
Imagination gone wild makes a very backward child so
They told me
So back at school Id sit around just waitin' for the Sound
So I could go home

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the Present
'Cause the present's now

Well I remember when I was young
I won a trip that got you to the movies
To look tough we'd light a smoke and very nearly choke
But we had a real good time
Growin' old and then you get to fly a Sabre Jet and fight
A few wars
So id just sit there all day and let my mind decay
Somethin' awful!

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present's now

Well I remember when I was Young
I had a secret love who never knew it
Well i'd do tricks upon my bike that never turn out right
I always blew it
And the day we had to part
I had a broken heart but couldn't let on
So I'd spend my holidays just thinkin' of the ways
I must have gone wrong

Sometimes I think about it It happens every day
I should think of the Present cause the Present Now

Well I remember when I was young
The Beatles turned me on they really blew my mind
And we'd carry Jack and Pam we'd go and watch a band
And have a real good time
Then I heard the black man's blues
It really blew a fuse inside my head
So with some friends we made a stand and formed our
First blues band
It was a real good thing

Sometimes I think about it
It happens every day
I should think of the present
'Cause the present's now

Well I remember when I was Young
I remember when I was young I surely do!



Downhearted
Bill McDonough, Guy McDonough and Sean Higgins

I left my heart back in the Orient
Down on Bali bays
It's not the way that I should feel
But it's the way I'm gonna stay

Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

It seems all wrong back ... here at home
There's no end in sight
Should I be made to ...
Drag you through this lovers endless fight

Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

I sometimes think that ...
We should stay
Happy on the farm
I sometimes think I'll give it... all away...
This love and all it's charm

Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start


Even When I'm Sleeping
Dean Manning

Don't be confused by my
Apparent lack of ceremony,
My mind is clear
I may be low or miles high off in the distance,
I want you near

I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

And if they take me flying
On the magic carpet
See me wave
If our communication fails I'll re-connect it
I want to rave

I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

No matter where the road is leading us remember
Don't be afraid
We have a continent that sometimes
Comes between us
But that's OK

I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

No matter where the road is leading us remember
Don't be afraid

I love you
Even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

When I close my eyes
You're everywhere

When I close my eyes
You're everywhere


Green Limousine
Michael Spiby

Listen to the sounds of the revolution
Everybody's out on the street tonight
Everybody's cool
Everything's alright
You better pray that your old man
Don't get home tonight

When we drive my car where the wild things are
I got a green limousine
Everyone's a star but they won't get far
Without a green limousine

Someone burn the flag of the old convention
Set the wheels in motion here tonight

Everybody's cool
Everything's alright
Got a feeling in my bones
We're gonna get it on tonight

When we drive my car where the wild things are
I got a green limousine
Everyone's a star but they won't get far
Without a green limousine

Well no need to get uptight
I got room to spare
Prophets and sweet hitckhikers
I'm gonna take you where...

Everybody’s cool
Everything’s alright
I got a feeling in my bones
We’re gonna get it on tonight

People drive your car where the wild things are
I got a green limousine
I'm a shining star, yeah I glide on tar
I got a green limousine

Jonah caught a whale, put it up for sale
And bought a green limousine
Yeah I got hidden lens, black money
And a green limousine


Girls On The Avenue
Richard Clapton

Girls on the avenue
They're tryin' to get you in
Strolling by with their rosebud smiles
They're all dressed up to kill
Lean on the windowsill
Looking your way with eyes of fire

But don't you slip
Don't you slip
In love with the girls on the avenue

Friday night... see the girls on the avenue
Like a child at big store windows
You feel confused... so many girls on the avenue

Girls on the avenue
Know how to get you in
Casting out sighs like tricks from a hat
All the Miss Lonely Hearts
Ooh they look awful hard
Yet sometimes they seem as fragile as glass

But don't you slip
Don't you slip
In love with the girls on the avenue

Friday night... see the girls on the avenue
Like a child at big store windows
You feel confused... so many girls on the avenue

Girls on the avenue
They're tryin' to get you in
Strolling by with their rosebud smiles

But don't you slip
Don't you slip
In love with the girls on the avenue

But don't you slip
Don't you slip
In love with the girls on the avenue

But don't you slip
Don't you slip
In love with the girls on the avenue


Forever Now
Steve Prestwich

Taking a seat at the bar
She don't talk to anyone
Plane leaving soon for afar
Where she don't know anyone
She thinks of her precious time
There's no-one she leaves behind
Who could change her mind

Is this the way it's gonna be forever
Is this the way it's gonna be forever now

Take a whole life's lonliness
Wrap it up in some tenderness
Send it off to some emptiness
With all my love

Making his way down the stairs
He can't help but looking back
Thinks of the things that they shared
There'll be no more turning back
He thinks of the day they met
The words that she said of love he just can't forget

It's just the way they wanna be forever
It's just the way they wanna be forever
Tell me it will always be forever now

Take a whole life's lonliness
Wrap it up in some tenderness
Send it off to some emptiness
With all my love

Taking a seat at the bar
She don't talk to anyone
Plane leaving soon for afar
Where she don't know anyone
He thinks of the day they met
The words that she said of love he just can't forget

It's just the way they wanna be forever
It's just the way they wanna be forever
Tell me it will always be forever now

Take a whole life's lonliness
Wrap it up in some tenderness
Send it off to some emptiness
With all my love
It's only you and me
There'll be nothing we need to see
Only one thing can set you free
Is all my love
It's only you and me
There'll be nothing we need to see
Only one thing can set you free
Is all our love


Reckless
James Reyne

Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and sway
The others reading standing
As the Manly ferry
Cuts its way to Circular Quay

Hear the captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy...
Way to start the day

She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
So...
Throw down your guns
Don't be so Reckless
Throw down guns
Don't be so

Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
With the base camp too far away
A Russian sun beneath the Artic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree

She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
So...
Throw down your guns
Don't be so Reckless
Throw down guns
Don't be so reckless


Come Said The Boy
Eric McCusker

It was a party night
It was the end of school
He's head was feelin' light
The first time

She seemed much older then
She had turned 17
And she knew some older men
First time

Come said the boy
Let's go down to the sand
Let's do what we wanna do
Let me be a man for you

And she said
Well I've been waiting for a long time
And you've changed a lot
Up until now it's been the wrong time
To know whether to come here or not
Oh but now come with me boy
Just take my hand
I'll let you see what you wanna see
Come on be a man for me

We've both been waiting for a long time
We've both changed a lot
Up till now it seemed the wrong time
To know whether to come here or not

But come said the boy
Let's go down on the sand
Let's do what we wanna do
Let me be a man for you
Just say come with me boy
Just take my hand
I'll let you see what you wanna see
Come on be a man for m

It was a party night
It was the end of school
He's head was feeling light
It was the first time

She seemed much older then
She had turned seventeen
And she knew some older men
For the first time


No Aphrodisiac
Tim Freedman, Glenn Dormand and Matt Ford

A letter to you on a cassette
'Cause we don't write anymore
Gotta make it up quickly
There's people asleep on the second floor
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you

You'll be walking your dog in a few hours
I'll be asleep in my brother's house
You're a thousand miles away
With food between your teeth
Come up for summer I've got a place near the beach
There's room for your dog

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth beauty and a picture of you
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Youth truth beauty fame boredom
And a bottle of pills

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
You shouldn't leave me alone
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile

Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair
Innocence
Saturday... And a picture of you
A letter to you on a cassette
You shouldn't leave me alone
Forty shaved sexy wants to do it all day
With a gun-totin' trigger-happy tranny
Named Kinky Renée
Tired teacher twenty-eight seeks regular meetings for
Masculine muscular nappy-clad brutal breeding
While his wife rough-wrestles with a puppy all aquiver
On a wine-soaked strobe-lit Asiatic hall of mirrors
And a dash of loneliness

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair
Innocence impunity... And a picture of you
I got a video set-up
Me love you short time she pay me suck his finger with
Some fine wine
A dash of loneliness
Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair
Innocence awkwardness... impunity...
And a picture of you

Overkill
Colin Hay

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
Perhaps it's just 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 that
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
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
