Come come come come again
Come come come again
x2
You kissed that boy last night and you’re wondering how it’ll all turn out
And you’ve come round to take refuge at my flat
Walking down St Kilda pier, I hear your voice in my ear
Saying we should do this more often, cause it really has been fun
We’ll buy matching headbands and talk about all the boys we’d kiss if we were famous
And we’ll buy jumpers cause we’re cold and maybe never wear them again
Buy a coffee, buy a cookie and head down to the pier for a look
You’ve been doing this every afternoon since you moved in
Can we plan your birthday party, a BBQ on the grassy patch
We’ll drink till it’s gone and then get silly under the sun
I’ll open my present and to my surprise I’ll find a blow-up boat
And we’ll grab an oar each and see if we can paddle to Queenscliff
Sunshower
Sunshower on us
Rain rain don’t go away
Please come again another day
You didn’t kiss that boy you met, but there’s been flirting via text
And there’s a whole month before you see him again
Let’s sit down and write a song, get writers block and argue a lot
While we try to write something of importance
We’ll get stuck on the first line and end up writing about the same old shit
And we’ll write lots and lots of words and argue about who’s best fit in
Sunshower
Sunshower on us
Rain rain don’t go away
Please come again another day
Sunshower
Sunshower on us
Rain rain don’t go away
Please come again another day
Rain rain don’t go away
Please come again another day
Come come come come again
Come come come again

Come To Miss You
03:50
|
|||
Why you chose to leave so early, I’ll never know
This place won’t be the same without you, all of us know
The streets I walk, a little more alone
Don’t leave me alone
I will always come to miss you
Memories of us laughing with you
We will toast our drinks towards you
I will always come to miss you
Someone told me that he loves me, now I won’t be alone
He has travelled far to hold me, far he has flown
The streets we walk, a little less alone
Cause he won’t leave me alone
I will always come to miss you
Memories of us laughing with you
We will toast our drinks towards you
I will always come to miss you
He told me he’d marry her, boy how we’ve grown
She does have his child inside her, seed they have sown
Babies name, inspiration you
Cause no-one is alone
I will always come to miss you
Memories of us laughing with you
We will toast our drinks towards you
I will always come to miss you

Walking down to the motor way, man, those fumes don’t smell so sweet
But he’s there to watch them big green
beauties travelling up and down the middle of the street
The four fifty-eight needs a good lick of paint,
five fifteen’s running three minutes early
But he’s watching those tracks and he’s thinking bout
her eyes and her hair so beautiful and curly
Now he knows those tracks lead straight to her door
Across the other side of town maybe fifty stops or more
And he smiles while he thinks about that look on her face
When he rings that bell out the front of her place
Looking back,
there’s no denying the fact it was love since he first laid eyes as he sat there
Staring across from his desk in the classroom
while he struggle on through grade five
He remembers her framed in the doors two beautiful big old double you class
And he couldn’t remember a prettier union as he rang its bell and shuffled on past
Now he knows those tracks lead straight to her door
Across the other side of town maybe fifty stops or more
And he smiles while he thinks about that look on her face
When he rings that bell out the front of her place
He’s hanging around in the end of the line looking over their shoulder
He’s biding his time now he knows those controls like the back of his hand
And he’s missed on the road but he don’t give a damn
Friday morning was raining and wet, but the afternoon was oh so fine
With the keys that he borrowed from the man at the depot
as he climbs aboard the seventy-nine
Glides through the gates, gets a feel for the brakes on that sunset esplanade
And the dusk was slashed as that red and blue flashing as he pulled up onto her front yard
Now he knows those tracks lead straight to her door
Across the other side of town maybe fifty stops or more
And he smiles while he thinks about that look on her face
When he rings that bell out the front of her place x2

Dink You
03:25
|
|||
I’m talking for longer
My heart is getting warmer
Love is getting closer
Time is growing shorter
Life is growing harder, but everything in it is becoming clearer
Everything is much busier
But our laughs are getting louder
We’re all getting older
And the rain is disappearing
The days are getting longer and our planets getting hotter
So let’s jump on our bikes and cycle around the entire world
With the wind in our hair we could take off anytime anywhere
And I’ll dink you, if you get too tired
If you hold me, when I’m feeling lonely
We won’t be getting lonely
My voice is sounding better
And my body is still changing
The band is getting bigger and bigger and bigger
And my dreams are getting closer
My dancing’s getting bolder and I’m becoming more curious
So let’s jump on our bikes and cycle around the entire world
With the wind in our hair we could take off anytime anywhere
And I’ll dink you, if you get too tired
If you hold me, when I’m feeling lonely
We won’t be getting lonely x2

Grandma
03:54
|

Old lady come and sit with me, tell me about your family tree
Hold onto your mind won’t you, cause your all we’ve got to see us through
And I haven’t spoken to you about all the things I wanted to
And you haven’t told me all the history of my ancestry
You just can’t go until I know
Tell me how you met again, you’d known each other through mutual friends
And then on that fateful night, he held your gloves and turned them from white
Then he took you out to dine to the Prince of Whales, the meals were fine
He caught the tram back home with you and said he would call the next day for you
Since that day you’ve never been alone
Until some years ago, he got sick but it was slow
You cared for him, you cared for free
You wished and hoped and prayed
But there was nothing we could do, the angels came and took him through
You haven’t been the same since then, you lost your man and your best friend
You wait alone until its time to go
So Grandma lets go have some fun, tell me about when you were young
How you fell in and out of love, so many times before you found your one
And if you tell me the same story twice, I won’ t tell you I will be nice
Of all the stories I have heard, yours are the best that I have learned
Don’t leave a stone unturned before you go

People Need People
03:57
|

Enters the room and she’s scared
All these people new to meet
Imagines it won’t be so bad
Wishes she wasn’t so discreet
People need people why do we make it so damn hard
Watches groups of four or five
Already friends they seem real tight
Tries to think of conversation
Something that she thinks they will like
People need people why do we make it so damn hard
Smiles sweetly til her face hurts
Small talk topics running through her head
Tries to muster up the courage
Or she could always leave instead
People need people why do we make it so damn hard x2
Sick and tired of being unnoticed
Looses her thoughts within red flames
Her confidence it burns so quickly
Watches her courage burn away
People need people why do we make it so damn hard x2

Rock 'n Roll
04:12

Wasting time is fine tonight, taking time to find what’s mine
Pay no mind to blind replies from anyone
Feel the sand run through your hand, take the time to love your band
Think of all the times you owe to everyone
I sang myself sane tonight, it may not be rock and roll
But I like it, yes I like it
Yes I do
Close your eyes and think of white, send yourself into the night
Shine your light as bright as one from anyone
Show some sign but leave me blind, your friends won’t leave you behind
Don’t think of this song as being for anyone
I sang myself sane tonight, it may not be rock and roll
But I like it, yes I like it x2
Wasting time is fine tonight

I’m an old man now and I can see where I’m headed
It’s a strange thing to know but I know it all the same
I’ve had a long life and no experience I’ve regretted
The only regret would be, having to leave her behind
I’ll never forget that warm feeling of making my sweetheart smile
That one simple expression could make a man hold on for dear life
There’s nothing I can say, and there’s nothing I can do
I know where I’m headed now and it’s not with you
My life has been full and my children are happy
My children’s children are gorgeous and they make me smile
And I worry about Lisa, but I know Gary’s there to pull her into line
And hope that one day Sam will find a love, a love like mine
I’ll never forget that warm feeling of making my sweetheart smile
That one simple expression could make a man hold on for dear life
There’s nothing I can say, and there’s nothing I can do
I know where I’m headed now and it’s not with you
Getting sleepy my sweetheart
Cry a tear for me love
Getting sleepy my sweetheart
Cry a tear for my love X3
I’ll never forget that warm feeling of making my sweetheart smile
That one simple expression could make a man hold on for dear life
There’s nothing I can say, and there’s nothing I can do
I know where I’m heading and it’s not with you

Come on lets write a song on my bed like we always do
I need to write something about what I’ve just been through
I’m a little bit more thick skinned, confident and big grinned
I’ve been to Brissie and back,
fell in love and all that and had all the fun I ever dreamed about
I haven’t seen a mirror for so long that I don’t care
I’ve been wearing my swimmers like they were underwear
We’ve taken photos of every character we’ve met
We’ve danced and laughed and surfed and bathed for
every single twenty-one days
Sometimes I think I’m living in the future
Sometimes I think I’m missing out on the present
Except for those three times in the last couple of months
where I’ve had the best time of my life
Woah yeah yeah yeah yeah x2
I’ve soaked up enough sun to last me the next twelve months
I’ve rediscovered confidence and the love for my lady lumps
We’ve had some fights, remember that big one on the second last night
But somehow I never want to let of you three in my life
Sometimes I think I’m living in the future
Sometimes I think I’m missing out on the present
Except for those three times in the last couple of months
where I’ve had the best time of my life
Woah yeah yeah yeah yeah x2
I’ve hit the spot I’ve got so much energy I could just take off
I’ve proudly spent everything from last year that I saved up
I can see myself ending up somewhere we’ve just been
Sometimes I think I’m living in the future
Sometimes I think I’m missing out on the present
Except for those three times in the last couple of months
where I’ve had the best time of my life
Woah yeah yeah yeah yeah x4

Peggy Suicide

She’s stuck in a hole, she can’t climb out of it
Every time that she tries,
well he’s stepping on her hands as she clings to the sides yeah
He’s out of control, he can’t switch off his brain
Now he knows what he’s got,
he’s pretending its not yeah he doesn’ t seem to care a lot
Peggy Sucide yeah x3
She says, show me your hands, you’ve been out all night again
Well I don’t want to know where you’ve been,
I can read it in your eyes and the ink on your skin yeah
He lies and he says, that brand new pair of shoes gonna make him whole again
And the spring that it puts in his step gonna help them get together gonna make them reconnect
Peggy Sucide yeah x3
Come on baby can’t we find a little patch,
where’s there’s no-one trying to get into our pockets or our pants
And they’re both saying why can’t he just say that

Ticket To Where You Are
04:21
|
|||
Hot breeze ruffles through my new skirt,
its the same hot breeze that make some people sneeze
I think of you and where you might be,
and all the people that you’ll probably meet
Tomorrow I’ll start another week of nine to six,
by Thursday I’ll see what I have earned
I’ll add it to my savings and I’ll watch it grow,
think of all the exotic places that I could go
I’d spend it all on a ticket to where you are,
and I don’t care if its a plane, ship or car
When you’re near its hard for me to frown,
but I know that no-one can tie you down
I’d follow you anywhere, I’d follow you anywhere
Ah Ah Ah
I drank far too much last night at a party,
just wishing any of them could have excited me
Which corner of the world are you exploring today,
please don’t go too far ahead or I won’t find
The person that you’ve changed to the person you’ve become,
please don’t change too much cause you’re so damn fun
I’d spend it all on a ticket to where you are,
and I don’t care if its a plane, ship or car
When you’re near its hard for me to frown,
but I know that no-one can tie you down
I’d follow you anywhere, I’d follow you anywhere
Lets go back now, back to where it all began
I won’t let the moment pass no I won’t be scared
Oh I will tell you
Well it looks like you may have left for good, you didn’t say goodbye
Imagine the next time I’ll see your smile and I know the feeling so well
Suddenly I feel helpless and hopeless with rage,
as I realise its been almost eight days
Eight days since I woke up to that news, when I rolled over and I thought of you
I’d spend it all on a ticket to where you are,
and I don’t care if its a plane, ship or car
When you’re near its hard for me to frown,
but I know that no-one can tie you down
I’d follow you anywhere, I’d follow you anywhere
Ah Ah Ah

Sausos ' Tinnies
02:35
|
|||
Got a car that don’t handle corrugation too well
Got a tent that don’t deal with the winds from hell
Only got two logs to burn the rest of our fire
We got plenty of tinnies to swill our desire
Bloodhounds await their Saturday clash,
its too bad we couldn’t find that little wood stash
We’re down on the foot, the camp fire we’ve put
And there’s a bourbon or two in me,
and there’s a bloody great moth on your knee
The three of us trying to share the same bed,
in the morning you’ll cook us sausos and eggs
It don’t matter the car it looks like a bomb,
cause when you drive it fast it cruises along
We didn’t expect the FUG to blow smoke,
looks like the radiators gonna make us broke
We’re down on the foot, the camp fire we’ve put
And there’s a bourbon or two in me,
and there’s a bloody great moth on your knee
Looks like the boys aren’t gonna make the game,
I guess the team just won’t play the same
We’re down on the Yorks, where we can’t be sure
Speculate he might, the saulo’s are on your right
We’re down on the foot, the camp fire we’ve put
And there’s a bourbon or two in me,
and there’s a bloody great moth on your knee
A fucking great moth on your knee

Almighty Friend
03:21
|

I will miss you greatly over summer
But when I return with a vengeance
I am sure you will have met the following criteria
You’ll be in a famous band
And have the hottest hunk of a boyfriend
Have a mighty fine tan and have found another tea variety we can drink together
Because you better be ready for a big chat when I get back
Thank you for being my almighty friend X3
Here’s a pot plant you can care for until I come back
Cause I’m off overseas to care for the kids who don’t have what we have
Can you write to me and tell me everything that’s been happening
And I’ll bring back a pair of shoes like you asked me to
And a whole lot of stories that I’ll make you sit through
And I’ll convince you that you absolutely have to travel the world,
and do what crazy ladies do
Because I can tell that this travelling thing is going to be for you
Thank you for being my almighty friend X3
And it’s not long till I leave here indefinitely
I want to see the whole world before I turn twenty-three
And I want to fall in love a few times before someone really takes me
Promise that you’ll never ever stop singing
And for god sake don’t let anyone stop you from believing
Because that dream of yours sounds so exciting
But for now I’m off to chase mine so I’ll see you in a little while
Thank you for being my almighty friend x3
