No Reason

Going nowhere today
No need to move
No reason to stay
Got nothing to do
Or nothing to say
You do your thing
And we’ll be okay
Ain’t no reason
Got no good reason
I’m doin’ fine
Despite the season
Don’t need no reason
Gimme no reason
Don’t gimme no reason
Got no plans tomorrow
No need to work
No reason to play
Got nothing to earn
Or nothing to pay
You do your thing
And we’ll be okay
Ain’t no reason
Got no good reason
I’m doin’ fine
Despite the season
Don’t need no reason
Gimme no reason
Don’t gimme no reason
Got nothing of yesterday
No need to grieve
Nothing to say
Nothing’s undone
Or left in the way
You do your thing
And we’ll be okay
Ain’t no reason
Got no good reason
I’m doin’ fine
Despite the season
Don’t need no reason
Gimme no reason
Don’t gimme no reason

Do Us All A Favour
03:33
|

Take from me this yoke
It’s damn heavy that’s no joke
I’ve dragged your load
Down too many wrong roads
Take from me this burden
It’s come all of a sudden
I’ve run to your call
But you’ve yet to even fall
Come all who seek rest
And abandon futile labour
Take off your shackles
Do us all a favour
Take from me this wait
It’s no fair you’re always late
I’ve laboured for your time
And committed no crime
Come all who seek rest
And abandon futile labour
Take off your shackles
Do us all a favour
Take from me this fate
It’s not yours to create
I’ve crossed the Rubicon
While you sank with mates
Come all who seek rest
And abandon futile labour
Take off your shackles
Do us all a favour

Aint No Use in Lying
05:30

The river’s deep
The river’s wide
The water’s gone
From either side
Aint no water here no more
The road is long
The road is steep
The traffic’s gone
Just rusting heaps
Aint no passers by no more
The sky is wide
The sky is blue
The clouds have parted
Now sunset’s due
Aint no rain here no more
The crop is young
The crop is dead
The harvest’s nil
No daily bread
Aint no living here no more
The island’s empty
The island’s dead
For longer than time
It’s been a bed
Aint no use in lying no more
No more
No more

All Soldiers Pray
02:33
|
|||
|
He lives alone
Back of the flats
Bow legs shuffle
On his way
He’s on his way
Years went by
Since he came back
Memories linger
Through his day
He’s through his day
Keeps to himself
Won’t say nought
Who's gonna listen to
What he says
He’s what he says
Not even missed
He’s scattered ash
Secrets die
All soldiers pray
He’s gone today

It's A Comin'
03:07
|
|||
|
Don't be racing off
To close to soon
Aint nothing to fear
It's the coming
It's the coming
Of the moon
Don't be cussing
The work's not done
Aint nothing to fret
It's the setting
It's the setting
It's the setting
Of the sun
Don't be reaching
Across the divide
Aint nothing to hurry
It's the rising
It's the rising
It's the rising
Of the tide
Don't be rushing
The journey to begin
Aint nothing to trim
It's the coming
It's the coming
It's the coming
Of the wind
Don't be waiting
To stand in vain
Aint nothing to quench
It's the falling
It's the falling
It's the falling
Of the rain
Falling Rain
Falling rain
Falling rain

My Time To Go
02:48
|
|||
|
When I leave
And it’s time to go
I’ll leave the door ajar
And I’ll walk real slow
When I pack
And tidy my stuff
I’ll leave the bag open
You’ll all have enough
When it’s my time to go
Sing me that sweet sweet song
When it’s my time to go
You all come sing along
When I speak
And say my last peace
I’ll make amends
For all our release
When I wink
Then close them for sleep
I’ll heave a sigh
Baby don’t you weep
When it’s my time to go
Sing me that sweet sweet song
When it’s my time to go
You all come sing along
When it’s my time to go
Sing me that sweet sweet song
When it’s my time to go
You all come sing along

This Feeling
03:29
|
|||
|
I get this feeling
Right behind my eyes
I close them tight
And in a moment it dies
I get this feeling
Right inside my ears
I place my hands on them
And silence all my fears
I get this feeling
Right behind my back
I spin round fast
To nothing on my track
I get this feeling
Deep inside my brain
I think of something else
Til it rises again
I get this feeling
Right inside my hands
I unclench my fists
And just take a stand
I get this feeling
Right inside my heart
It keeps beating me
Right from the start
I get this feeling
I get this feeling
I get this feeling
Keep feeling
Keep feeling

Love Hurts
02:59
|
|||
|
Don't it make you kind of lonely
When you see them walking past
Arm in arm together
It's a love that's made to last
Yet you sit alone and wonder
Will you always be just one
Or will someone you remember
Come and help you build a home
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Imagine the surrender
When two can be as one
Sharing the adventure
Living in the sun
It's a feeling that I envy
It's a feeling that I want
A sensation I imagine
But it seems I'm not to have
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts

French Kiss
02:35
|

|
One more French kiss my love
You're driving me insane
Never felt so much in love
Without feeling pain
Long nights and lonely days
Thoughts that cross my mind
I'm so in love with you
Can you feel it too
Never felt so close before
So in love and so so sure
Never felt so close before
So much in love
In the morning when I wake
You by my side
Your smile your eyes your face
Feelings I can't hide
Never felt so close before
So in love and so so sure
Never felt so close before
So much in love
Never felt so close
So in love and so so sure
Never felt so close before
So much in love

Walking With Jesus
04:24
|
|||
|
I was walking with Jesus
Near an outback hotel
He was throwing seeds in the desert
He said you never can tell
We talked about little as the sun she went down
We walked back to the pub
For a beer and mixed grill
Out on the verandah much later that night
We shared a long neck and the silence
And the mosses as well
We feared not the pauses that some others might
For it kept us from grieving
Lost lovers and life
Then the wild dingos howled
And the blood moon was nigh
When the power went out
It lit up the sky
We toasted the madness
We cheered for the stars
We drank all the beer
Before it got warm
Oh Jesus, the hangover on the next morn
We sipped our black coffee
And took stock of the room
Then the land lady howled
Her blood pressure was high
She took our possessions and threw us outside
We thanked her profusely
As we took to the road
For her gracious directions
And for lightening our load
Then wild dingoes howled
And the sun it burnt down
As the road train ignored us
On its way out of town
I said to Jesus
What does any of this mean
His eyes were glowing as he took in the scene
Oh brother he said
Cause he spoke in that way
All you ever need to do is live from day to day
All your possessions well they don't mean a thing
And you will leave this world
With all the things you brought in
Then a dust cloud befell us
And it blocked out the sun
It blinded our eyes and filled us with fear
Then Jesus said
It's time like these I wish I could turn bull dust into beer
Yeah it's time like these I wish I could turn bull dust into beer
