I look to the north in this heat and the sweat
I contemplate what we are on this cigarette
Is this our time?
Is this our Goyder’s Line?
South of the line is safe and is free
But north is a question - and uncertainty
Is this our time?
Is this our Goyder’s Line?
I can’t entertain the thought of demarcating you
Lines are drawn and lines are crossed
But not in case of you
Delicately drawn and sensitively kept
These lines that are drawn they begged to be stepped
Is this our time?
Is this our Goyder’s Line?
Visions of optimism and visions of hope
Of what lies ahead in the scheme and the scope
Is this our time?
Is this our Goyder’s Line?
I can’t entertain the thought of demarcating you
Lines are drawn and lines are crossed
But not in case of you - Track Name: Back With You
-
We have returned - older, wiser, new
We’ve come so far yet we have misconstrued
That old business exposed for what it is
And now it comes snapping at our heels
In the silence then it comes
You feel panic it makes you want to run
Yeah I’m back with you
Never thought it true
Yeah I’m back with you
Never wanted to
‘29 - the Crash - the memories
You’d think we’d learned
But history now repeats
Other things worthy of regard
History can bite
Stay awake, keep watch, on guard
In the silence then it comes
You feel panic it makes you want to run
Yeah I’m back with you
Never thought it true
Yeah I’m back with you
Never wanted to - Track Name: With a Glance
-
I watch the telly, read the papers
I listen to the radio
I’ve read some books I think I’m clever
They say ‘Be alert but do not be alarmed’
Would you know
With a glance I think I know you
Oh I put you in a box
A little box
Then look away
I look away
With a glance I think I know you
Oh I put you in a box
Watch for beards and for moustaches
The hijabs’s on the radar too
Years and years of education
Compassion, tolerance are all now swept away
Would you know
With a glance I think I know you
Oh I put you in a box
A little box
Then look away
I look away
With a glance I think I know you
Oh I put you in a box
Then look away
I look away
And now we look towards our leaders
And look at what we have become
We thought they would represent us
And not twist the truth to suit their policies
Would you know
With a glance I think I know you
Oh I put you in a box
A little box
Then look away
I look away
With a glance I think I know you
Oh I put you in a box
Then look away
I look away - Track Name: Change
-
I feel different
A change of season
There is something a little strange
I must change
A gradual creeping
A final dawning
Dark nights will be swept away
With a change
As sure as the sunrise today
There is a change
And it’s coming for me
Change
I will change
I will grasp the nettle yeah in exchange
For change
I will change
It feels good to me
The time is ripe for change
General or local
Resistance is futile
Escape plans are not in range
For change
Acceptance, Patience, Trusting, Silence
These are extraordinary days
For change
Change
I will change
I will grasp the nettle yeah in exchange
For change
I will change
It feels good to me
The time is ripe for change - Track Name: Special Place
-
Let’s escape let’s get away
Let’s retreat to Encounter Bay
Pack the car and take the kids
Away from noise and city streets
Let’s reclaim some stolen time and quit the race
Once a year let’s go to our special place
Let’s play cards and let’s play chess
Sing our songs
Then sleep and rest
Build sand castles on the beach
And dream our life could be like this
Let’s reclaim some stolen time and quit the race
Once a year let’s go to our special place - Track Name: Two Friends Drinking
-
Bottoms up here’s looking at you
Bottoms up here’s looking at me
Let’s have a drink maybe two
Let’s have a drink just me and you
Words that are said only say so much
Some speak more with a glance or a touch
And for us this seems to be true
Over a glass or over a jar
Downing Black Arthur or Pinot Noir
Let’s drink to us just me and you
Down at the beach on the sand
Or travelling by train maybe on the Ghan
You name the time you name the day
Two friends drinking - a grand soirée
Words that are said only say so much
Some speak more with a glance or a touch
And for us this seems to be true
Over a glass or over a jar
Downing Black Arthur or Pinot Noir
Let’s drink to us just me and you - Track Name: Traversing the Fields
-
As you’re driving towards the interstate I’ll be traversing the fields
I’m lost the place towards which I am travelling
No time to give in or to yield
The fields are wide and the land is a mystery
The shades and the shadows are here
Of intrepid explorers like Burke and Wills
Etched into time to endear
It’s better for me if I pack up and go
It’s better this way can’t you see
And I saw an eagle fly off into the mallee
I hear you call out to me from the roadway
But further and further I go
Until there’s no sign of the life that I used to live
Nothing but wood, dirt and stone
It’s better for me if I pack up and go
It’s better this way can’t you see
And I saw an eagle fly off into the mallee
Sitting down in a brown dusty landscape
My fist meets the crease of my brow
Twig in hand and poking at embers
Of a life that is far from me now
It’s better for me if I pack up and go
It’s better this way can’t you see
And I saw an eagle fly off into the mallee - Track Name: Safety Net
-
If you fall I will catch you
Nothing bad will happen to you
You will fall straight into my arms
I’ll keep you safe and free from harm
I will be your safety net
As you soar on life’s trapeze
There are ups and there are downs
For you and me
I will wipe away your tears
Reassure when things are unclear
I will hold you through the night
I won’t let go until there is light
I will be your safety net
As you soar on life’s trapeze
There are ups and there are downs
For you and me
Sometimes it gets so hard it’s blue
I’ll be there
Don’t you know
I will help you get through
If you fall I will catch you
Nothing bad will happen to you
You will fall straight into my arms
I’ll keep you safe and free from harm
I will be your safety net
As you soar on life’s trapeze
There are ups and there are downs
For you and me - Track Name: Simple as That
-
This is our manifesto
It is simple and direct
It speaks of protest and non-violence
And disobedience
Peter Lalor at Eureka
Took up arms and made a fight
This is not what we subscribe to
The proclamation starts tonight
We say oh no
Oh no
Oh no!
We say oh no
Oh no
Oh no!
It’s simple as that
This is our time to stand up if we see what is not right
Pushed as in the national interest
To win election night
We look to Gandhi
And to Mandela
And to Martin Luther King
To inspire and to teach us
That violence never wins
We say oh no
Oh no
Oh no!
We say oh no
Oh no
Oh no!
It’s simple as that
