A Toast To Panama Red

Answer lies Beyond
We are here, we are where, we are together & live as one
Doing right, doing wrong, who knows who's right
The Answer Lies Beyond... You and I you know
Look at me, look and see
You're a leaf in a forest praying autumn doesn't come
Look at me, look and see, I see the world's spins round, don't let it go
Beneath the Sun
I was born beneath the sun
I was hard a working one
Plough the earth with arms and blade
Shift the earth and rest in shade
Join me now I'm almost done
Baked my hands until they're numb
Seen it all take shape day by day
Build for us a place to stay
Fires at night burn yesterday
How the grass has turned to hay
Watch for you along the dusty road
Remember you dressed in blue

Games We Play I
Arguments are games we play
In between the fun
Like a dirty driving rain
In between the sun
Love did not pass us by
In it's strange disguise
Like a blind man in the night
Searching for his sign
You may be lost and pray
You must see the end
The soul that Jesus saves today
Is not to late to mend
We have to lose our way
To know where we've been
Don't do all they told you to
Love was never seen

Games We Play II
And he raised his head
Looked down upon the people
His great voice said
When love beckons, follow
Though the path sometimes seems steep and hard
Be old and let the soft wings enfold you
Though the sword hidden among the pinion may cut deep
When the voice speaks to you believe
For the voice may shatter your dreams
As the north wind lays waste to the garden
For as love is your growth, so it is your pruning
As it ascends to your height and
caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun
So it shall descend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth
All these things shall love do unto you
As you may know your secrets of the heart
And in that knowledge become a fragment of life's heart
Go into the seasonless world
Where you laugh not all you laughter
and weep not all your tears
For love gives naught but itself
and takes naught but from itself
Think not you can direct the course of love
For if it finds you worthy will direct your course
Love has no desire but to fulfil itself
To melt and be like a running brook

The Lesson, So Listen
Am I right, am I wrong
Been this way for too long
Way I seem to do it takes too long
Love is gonna come I can wait
We have seen too much hate
Lesson is easy, learning is it to late

Love Is
Oh Lord it seems you've been betrayed
A voice inside me cries
The Judas who stepped out on you
Is right before you're eyes
Hiding there behind his lies
Crucify me if you will
but may I prophisize
There is a way to live on earth
But only for the wise
For they will see there's no disguise
Love........ Is
The way for you and me, can't you see the way it's going to be

Melodies of St Kilda
You know love as willingly
Leave at your ease your trains impatient
Go to your home where love is waiting
Doing your things unconsciously... Ahhhhh
Come back again when days are warmer
I'll look for your smile and conversation
We all know what makes you need to
Yes the spell of the melody than hypnotises

Southern Cross
One man carried water to the masses, yes he did
Meanwhile his music carried magic to the ear
A virgin carried by the north wind in the spring
Hope of the words he wrote that summer couldn't bring a tear
In the first month came the third one from the sun
To lend a guiding hand so all could be as one
The scorpion wished only to be heard at his best
The world is waiting for us to create and face the test
The southern cross was kind and one morning sent us off
Sailing to the future have we learned or have we lost
Is it our direction is it written in the sky
People gathered round us as you listen we will try

Thyme To Rhyme
Feeling sorry for this song, now that it's over
Hummed the line forgot the time, the message grew colder
It was so hard to find, now there's no Thyme to Rhyme
Brown and long you let it flow, over your shoulder
Blue ribbons, the blues I sing, it's getting closer
Wasn't so hard to find, we found the Thyme to Rhyme
Instrumental
Feeling sorry for this song, now that it's over

Poor Boy
Poor Boy long way from home
Poor Boy be long way from home
I ain't go me no woman baby
No one to call my own
Found me a woman for tomorrow night
Found me a woman baby, for tomorrow night yeah
I said I found me a woman for tomorrow night yeah
Found me a woman, take her by the hand
Found me a woman baby, take her by the hand
She said, leave me ??? cause I'm your man
Living in a Childs Dream
See the windows in the greenhouse
They're painted yellow like the doors
See the child who sits in wonder
At this brightly coloured scene
See the clown who makes the children laugh
As he spins the m round and shows them all his tricks
Oh how I wish I was a little boy again
Living in a Childs Dream
See the mountains made of ice cream
With cherries dotted on their slopes
And over there's a chocolate tree trunk
Mint leaves are hanging from hte boughs
A land of fairy tales and good things
Is all a child will dream all day
And while he's young he'll have no reason
To cry for someone gone away
Elevator Driver
Silver people, lost in silver light
Silver people, won't see you tonight
Colours change but gold prevails
Coloured ships with silver sails
Floating in my mind
And silver shackles bind
With phosphorescent twine
Elevator Driver carry me please
Elevator Driver move....
Elevator Driver carry me please
Elevator Driver move....
Past the stories of confusion
To my penthouse of illusion, Elevator Driver
Ancient steeples chafed in a maze of clouds
Ancient steeples watching down on crowds
Rosellas sail the amber skies
Polka dotted butterflies
Spiders weave a web
In a coat around my head, colours rise and ebb
Tired of Just Wandering
When a man he reaches the crossroads of his life
Then he looks around for shelter and a place where he may land
For he's tired of just wandering, tired of just wandering around
He has worked with his hands in cities and towns without a name
He has loved a rich man's daughter and fought beside a fallen son
But he's tired of just wandering, tired of just wandering around
When he's tired he will lie beneath an old gum tree on grass
And he'll dream about the girl he left so far behind
While he dreams about someone far away the night gives way to day
And he looks down on the road ahead and turns the other way
For he's tired of just wandering, tired of just wandering around
4 Years Of 5
A sunny afternoon, the laughing of a child
Is what I'll want to see when I'm free
Two days of the year I'm giving with a friend
Her dream will be to stay with me, but I'll be back again
4 years of 5 I've taken with a smile
My cell mate is in for life, poor man he has a wife
He jumped into a fight which ended by his knife
The days they pass so slow, the nights are filed with fear
What will life be like, five wasted years, yeah
Brigette
Brigette lay asleep on her purple velvet blanket on her polished cedar bed
When she awoke venetian blinds let strips of light upon the eiderdown
Trees looked extra green that morning, sky looked extra blue somehow
Oh I wonder why a tear comes to her eye. She's so happy that she has to cry
Brigette's biggest day. All that childhood dreams of love are now reality
Is it really true that the girl who played on swings will wear a ring today
A cottage in the countryside, Knitting socks by the fireside
forever satisfied, forever satisfied
Merry Go Round
Soaking up the sunshine on a lazy afternoon
Ferris Wheel is spinning as it plays a happy tune
As the merry go round and the merry go round as the merry goes round my head
Roller coasting roaring, people laughing in my ears
Takes me back when I was young and joined in all their cheers
As the merry go round and the merry go round as the merry goes round my head
But I remember the merry go round...
Burke And Wills And Me
In 1859 three men left Melbourne town, tramping down a dusty road
Headed northward bound, the ground was dry, but hopes were high
Could Burke and Will be the men
To cross Australia north to south and make it back again
Where are all the seagulls, will we reach the sea?
We will find those seagulls, Burke and wills and me
Two thousand miles of desert sand and later on that day
June the 3rd I think it was, we made it to the place
I turned to Burke and said Good man, supplies are running low
We'll make it back to Cooper's Creek, from there I just don't know
Where are all the seagulls, will we reach the sea?
We will find those seagulls, Burke and wills and me
Yes they made it back to Cooper's Creek and asked the question why
The depot was abandoned there, oh Lord were they to die
They made it just another mile before they came to rest
Burke turned to Wills and said My man we did our very best
Yes we saw the seagulls, and we saw the sea?
Yes we saw those seagulls, Burke and wills and me

Freedom Seekers
People, places, shapes and sizes
I'll tell you where I've been
Moonlight bands and sunny shores
Have you been there too
Do you want me, do you need me
To be your heart and soul
Find your goal, you know you always wanted to
All you freedom seekers. Seek and you will find
The things you find will be your peace of mind
Your daughters got her boyfriend black
They've gone away and wont be back
In the hills they dance and clap
with music where their heads are at
Now dancin' Harry's gone away
He took his stash and split the scene
He's growin' beans on a sunny hill
He left the system and he left the noisy trains
Corinta Jingle
See and drive the new cortina
The active car for the young at heart
Howlin' At The Moon
I saw you there by yourself
Trying to be up so tight
Far away signals come across the room
Connected by a satelite
I turn around to see you smile
My heart just wouldn't stay in tune
When you aim that moondog love at me
Makes me want to howl at the moon
You got me howling
Tearing my hair out for you
You got me screaming
Head over heels over you
Saw your eyes shining bright
Ooh you had that red dress on
Love that fire in the heat of the night
I think we knew it all along
Well! You don't know what you're doing to me
You're making me a heck of a fool
Tossin' and turnin', I'm down on my knee
Makes me want to howl at the moon
Took a walk in the moonlight
Talk about the prophits of doom
Solve the problems of the universe
But still I've gotta howl at the moon
He's goin' nowhere
He's goin' mad
He's goin' ga ga
He's got it so bad
Bedtime Girl
Ooh, Ooh she's my bedtime girl
I'm dreaming that she's in my world
Ooh, Ooh she's my goodtime girl
She's my fantasy. Well I believe in, I believe in her
I think my girl's so pretty
There's no-one better out there
Many just think that I'm foolin'
You know you'd better beware
She always calls around midnight
In her diamonds and pearls
Just as I'm starting to sleep tight
She's my lite up little girl
Ooh, Ooh she's my bedtime girl
I'm dreaming that she's in my world
Ooh, Ooh she's my goodtime girl
She's my fantasy and I'm needing, needing her
I can see her breaking, I can see her breaking, I can see her breaking hearts
I must be going crazy yeah, 'Cause there she is again
And all I remember is counting sheep. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
But there she is standing beside me, babe in her leather and lace
Don't pinch me I don't wanna wake up yeah, I wanna stay in this place
When I wake in the morning babe, what a terrible state I'm in
All tangled up like Houdini yeah, but what a night it's been
Birth of the Beat
Oohaaaarh yeah
Yesterday is gone and I'm sad to say
The music really rocked in a special way
Back in '65 the bands could really play
Ooh you knew you were alive 'cause they made that way
And we all sang out as the bands played with jump and shout
And we all sang out, yeah they knew what Rock and Roll was all about
At the beginning at the start
Hey the songs back then came straight from the heart
And I got a lot of kicks back in '66
And I burned pretty hot and learned their licks
We just couldn't stay in our seat back in the days of the birth of the beat
We were all learning to use our feet back in the days of the birth of the beat
Good rockin' music had a lot things to say
Good rockin' music still makes me wanna roll today, come on roll baby
I can remember the beat so strong
Driving in the car with the radio on
It's the same old feeling that I've got today
Hey, hey, Rock and music will never fade away
Jam It Up
Heeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah. Hey, hey
You been fighting me, I been fighting you (x4)
Well I've had a gut full, baby I've had a gut full, Oh, I've had a gut full

Ohhhh, Yeah, plenty more where you came from, ha, ha, ha, I've had a gut full baby Yeah oh (Solo) oh yeah (ad lib vocal)
Tears of Sorrow
Her hair it felt like satin, her eyes were shining like the morning sun
Her skin it felt like petals, on flowers blooming in a springtime garden
Slowly wilt away, slowly wilt away to come to life another day
???? take me away
Lie your head upon my bed, cry on my pillow too
Tears of sorrow fill your eyes, fresh with morning dew mmmm (solo)
