PROSPECT STREET
the hum short for human
is constant here
in the shadow of the Story Bridge
an exhausting soundtrack of human fuelled cars
driving endlessly to nowhere and everywhere
six lanes, like arteries pulsing
through this strangely concocted,
eroded, citified, plasticized landscape
steel, glass, tunnels
and webs and webs of deceit
footprints so much larger than we ought to leave
and yet, shrouded in a cloak of green,
an aura of car-park around us
we filter what suits us to survive
along with the remnant inhabitants
scaled, feathered and furred
we are the last tenants
making the best of our urban home
nurturing the creative muse
and we walk
by the river
which still winds and
ebbs and flows with the tide
regardless

URSA MINOR
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Can you hear can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Too many paths you can take
it’s so easy to make a mistake
Looking for a sign that’s mine
for the stars to align
The world is busy, noisy and full of hate
I’m finding it hard to concentrate
Sometimes I wish that I could just stop
and listen
Sometimes I think I should just stop and listen
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
I said I love you
and I always want to be with you
want to bring out the best
want to bring out the best in you
want to bring out the best in me
I said I love you
and I’m never going to let you down
going to bring out the best
going to bring out the best in you
going to bring out the best in me
Too many paths you can take
it’s so easy to make a mistake
Looking for a sign that’s mine
for the stars to align
The world is busy, noisy and full of hate
I’m finding it hard to concentrate
Sometimes I think that I could just stop
and listen
Sometimes I think I should just stop and listen
Can you hear can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
I said I love you
Are you listening?
I said I love you

WHAT KIND OF LIFE
You make more money, that’s the aim of the game
but when all is said and done you know our needs are still the same
A little food, a little love, a little shelter from a storm
and yet you still convince our sons they need to go on fighting wars
I want to spend my money on milk and honey
not bombs to drop on my brothers and sisters
You with the power, with your turn up on the throne
could put an end to exploitation, could put right what’s gone so wrong
We’re from the earth and it can take care of us all
but you only see the dollar, keep on counting while we fall
I want to spend my days in the forests and the bays
not concrete slums, working for the system
What kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life
What kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life
do you want to live?
I’ve got the feeling that the worst is yet to come
we cannot run nor can we hide, no, from all that man has done
this country is not ours, this land belongs to none
and yet you try and stop those desperate for a home from finding one
I want to spend more time sharing songs and understanding,
not locking up my brothers and sisters
What kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life
What kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life
What kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life
What kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life, what kind of life
do you want to live?

BLACK DOG
My baby loves me
at least that’s what she said
I’ve got those dark clouds
rolling round in my head
rolling round in my head
I’ve got those dark clouds
rolling round
rolling round in my head
That black dog’s barking
just like it ain’t been fed
my baby loves me
at least that’s what she said
yeah that’s what she said
yeah that’s what
yeah that’s what she said
I love you more
than I’ve loved before
that’s what she says
walking out that door
walking out that door
walking out
walking out that door
Her friends are bad news
I’ll tell you that for free
I won’t be too late
but don’t wait up for me
don’t wait up for me
I’ll be waiting
don’t wait up
I’ll be waiting for you
I’ve got those blue skies
and they’re straight up ahead
Just got to believe her
at least that’s what she said
yeah that’s what she said
yeah that’s what
that’s what she said

TWO BUTTONS
She had a flower in her hair
and she was beautiful
She had two buttons done up
‘cause three was too many
too many
Is it time to pull the curtains
and let the sunshine in
or is it time to light the fire
‘cause winter’s about to begin
begin
The past is there to haunt us
and the future’s out of reach
When sleep finally comes
all I get is that endless speech
endless speech

HONEYMOON SHACK
Sultry days, a summer haze,
lying languid by the riverside
shedding the skins we slip our bodies in,
surrender to our wild-sides
in this rugged, ancient land where clear waters flow
and the platypus still do play
way up in the mountains where spirits dance
among the stars of the milky way
Precious time for me and you
we make the most of making memories anew
We’re sipping wine by the fireside
the glow reflected in the faces of our friends
who share in the magic
our laughter echoes in the finest night air
and if only for a few short days
we feel that life could be lived without a care
Hand in hand, by your side
no mountain’s too high, there’s no river too wide
for you and me, an endless summer
love that knows no boundaries only grows ever stronger
let’s build a little shack
and honeymoon for the longest time
we’ll watch as our grand-children grow up
and dance into our twilight years together
