Well I was down at the Zig Zag

That's the Zig Zag Bar & Grill

And everybody was talking at once

and it was getting real shrill.

And I've been around the block

But I don't care I'm on a roll - I'm on a wild ride

Cause the moon is full and look out baby -

I'm at high tide.

 

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good

standing beside it..

I've got some beautiful new red shoes

and they look so fine

I've got a hundred and five fever

and it's high tide.

 

Well just the other day I won the lottery

I mean lots of money

I got so excited I ran into my place and i said:

HEY!  Is anybody home?

Nobody answered but I guess that's not too weird

Since I live alone.

 

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good

standing beside it..

Girls?

We can take it  And if we can't

we're gonna fake it

We're gonna save ourselves

We're gonna make it  And if we don't

we're gonna take it

We're gonna save ourselves

Save ourselves

 

Well they say women shouldn't be

the president

Cause we go crazy from time to time

Well push my button baby here I come

Yeah look out baby

I'm at high tide

 

I've got a beatiful red dress

and you'd look really good

standing beside it..

I've got a little jug of red sangria wine

and we could take little sips

from time to time

I've got some bright red drop dead lips

I've got a little red card

and mechanical hips

I've got a hundred and five fever!!!

 

OK!  OK!  Hold it!

I just want to say something.

You know, for every dollar a man makes

a woman makes 63 cents.

Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.

So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888

before we make a buck.  But hey, girls?

 

We can take it  And if we can't

we're gonna fake it

We're gonna save ourselves

save ourselves

(Yeah tell it to the judge)

We're gonna make it  And if we don't

we're gonna take it

We're gonna save ourselves

save ourselves

We've got a fever of a hundred and five

and look baby

It's high tide.

 

Well I could just go on and on and on...

But tonight

I've got a headache

The ocean, is on fire
The sky turned dark again
As the boats came in
And the beaches
Stretched out with soldiers
With their arms and guns
It has just begun

Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

And the houses
Laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families
Now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you

Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe, you want this too)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

In the here and the now I'll wait down among the young and the old

With the moon and the ground I play with my children in my home

This is for the daughters and sons of forgotten ones learning how to stand

This is for the innocent unknowns buried in the sand

 

All running from a sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun 'til you're weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

 

From the crack in the blackness I'll wake, it's getting closer every night

In my city the playground is a battleground between the wrong and the right

I could run free as a child I was safe and wild, naked, and unarmed

Now I'm gone and safe in my home but some will never stop

 

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun 'til they're weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

 

The open mouth of the city swallowed up the town

On that same old concrete that I still walk down

And it seemed they put a shine on this place when I was young

Well maybe I just don't see it now

 

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun 'til I'm weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

Hey!

 

I'm running from the sound of a gun

I'm running from the sound of a gun

I'm running from the sound of a gun

I'm running from, running from the sound of a

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye.

1200 people dead or left to die.

Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind.

Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time.

 

So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today.

I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time

When you should have been wide awake.

 

Down on the road the world is floating by.

The poor and undefended left behind.

While you're somewhere trading lives for oil,

As if the whole world were blind, hey.

 

So come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today.

I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time

When you should have been wide awake.

 

Come pull the sheet over my eyes

So I can sleep tonight

Despite what I've seen today

I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time

When you should have been wide awake

Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake!

Come round by my side and I'll sing you a song.

I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong.

On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine,

And the choirs kept singing of Freedom.

That cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun,

And Addie Mae Collins, her number was one.

At an old Baptist church there was no need to run.

And the choirs kept singing of Freedom,

The clouds they were grey and the autumn winds blew,

And Denise McNair brought the number to two.

The falcon of death was a creature they knew,

And the choirs kept singing of Freedom,

The church it was crowded, but no one could see

That Cynthia Wesley's dark number was three.

Her prayers and her feelings would shame you and me.

And the choirs kept singing of Freedom.

Young Carol Robertson entered the door

And the number her killers had given was four.

She asked for a blessing but asked for no more,

And the choirs kept singing of Freedom.

On Birmingham Sunday a noise shook the ground.

And people all over the earth turned around.

For no one recalled a more cowardly sound.

And the choirs kept singing of Freedom.

The men in the forest they once asked of me,

How many black berries grew in the Blue Sea.

And I asked them right back with a tear in my eye.

How many dark ships in the forest?

The Sunday has come and the Sunday has gone.

And I can't do much more than to sing you a song.

I'll sing it so softly, it'll do no one wrong.

And the choirs keep singing of Freedom.

Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,

Oh freedom over me.

And before I'd be a slave

I'd be buried in my grave

And go home to my Lord and be free.

 

No more moanin' etc.

 

No more weepin' etc.

 

No more shootin' etc.

 

There'll be singing etc.

[CHORUS]
In a world gone mad it's hard to think right
So much violence hate and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

Mirrors, smokescreens and lies
It's not the politicians but their actions I despise
You and Saddam should kick it like back in the day
With the cocaine and Courvoisier
But you build more bombs as you get more bold
As your mid-life crisis war unfolds
All you want to do is take control
Now put that axis of evil bullshit on hold
Citizen rule number 2080
Politicians are shady
So people watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
I don't doubt it look at how they act

[CHORUS]
In a world gone mad it's hard to think right
So much violence hate and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

First the 'War On Terror' now war on Iraq
We're reaching a point where we can't turn back
Let's lose the guns and let's lose the bombs
And stop the corporate contributions that their built upon
Well I'll be sleeping on your speeches 'til I start to snore
'Cause I won't carry guns for an oil war
As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam
Peace to the Middle East peace to Islam
Now don't get us wrong 'cause we love America
But that's no reason to get hysterica
They're layin' on the syrup thick
We ain't waffles we ain't havin' it

[CHORUS]
In a world gone mad it's hard to think right
So much violence hate and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

Now how many people must get killed?
For oil families pockets to get filled?
How many oil families get killed?
Not a damn one so what's the deal?

It's time to lead the way and de-escalate
Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate
Say ooh ah what's the White House doin'?
Oh no! Say, what they got brewing?!
Well I'm not pro Bush and I'm not pro Saddam
We need these fools to remain calm
George Bush you're looking like Zoo Lander
Trying to play tough for the camera
What am I on crazy pills? We've got to stop it
Get your hand out my grandma's pocket
We need health care more than going to war
You think it's democracy they're fighting for?

[CHORUS]
In a world gone mad it's hard to think right
So much violence hate and spite
Murder going on all day and night
Due time we fight the non-violent fight

I Wish For Peace Between The Races

Someday We Shall All Be One

Why Fight Yourself

This One's Called Rectify

There's Something Coming To The Surface

There's Fire All Around

But This Is An Illusion

 

I've Seen Better Days Than This One

I've Seen Better Nights Than This One

Tension Is Rebuilding

Something's Got To Give

Something's Got To Give

 

Someday We Shall All Be One

Oh, when they beat upon a broken guitar
And all the streets, they reek of tropical charms
The embassies lie in hideous shards
Where tourists snore and decay

When they dance in a reptile blaze
You wear a mask, an equatorial haze
Into the past, a colonial maze
Where there's no more confetti to throw

You wouldn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waits in vague hotels
To be evicted

You're out of luck, you're singing funeral songs
To the studs, they're anabolic and bronze
They seem to strut in their millennial fogs
'Til they fall down and deflate

You wouldn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waits in vague hotels
To be evicted

Oh, and now, you've had your fun
Under an air-conditioned sun
It's burned into your eyes
Leaves you plain and left behind
I'll see them rise and fall
Into the jaws of a pestilent love

You wouldn't know what to say to yourself
Love is a poverty you couldn't sell
Misery waits in vague hotels
To be a victim

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

Why can't people just understand
money's something in the nature of the hand
now as we need something to help us with
all used up and nothing more to give
Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running
And all these people they don't comprehend
all those obscure animals aren't even in their pen
along the wheels comes the pain and strife,
?
Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running
And all these people they don't comprehend
all those obscure animals aren't even in their pen
along the wheels comes the pain and strife,
?
Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running
Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running

When I was a young man I carried me pack
And I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in 1915 my country said: Son,
It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When the ship pulled away from the quay
And amid all the tears, flag waving and cheers
We sailed off for Gallipoli

It well I remember that terrible day
When our blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell they call Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johnny Turk, he was ready, he primed himself well
He rained us with bullets, and he showered us with shell
And in five minutes flat, we were all blown to hell
He nearly blew us back home to Australia

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When we stopped to bury our slain
Well we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
Then it started all over again

Oh those that were living just tried to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
While around me the corpses piled higher
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head
And when I awoke in me hospital bed
And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead
I never knew there was worse things than dying

Oh no more I'll go Waltzing Matilda
All around the green bush far and near
For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legs
No more waltzing Matilda for me

They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
And when the ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thank Christ there was no one there waiting for me
To grieve and to mourn and to pity

And the Band played Waltzing Matilda
When they carried us down the gangway
Oh nobody cheered, they just stood there and stared
Then they turned all their faces away

Now every April I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
I see my old comrades, how proudly they march
Renewing their dreams of past glories
I see the old men all tired, stiff and worn
Those weary old heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask "What are they marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question

And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer the call
But year after year, their numbers get fewer
Someday, no one will march there at all

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?
And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong
So who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?

Did it all get real? I guess it's real enough

They got refrigerators full of blood

Another century spent pointing guns

At anything that moves

Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot

My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts

I never really dreamed of heaven much

Until we put him in the ground

But it's all I'm doing now

Listening for patterns in the sound

Of an endless static sea

But once the satellite's deceased

It blows like garbage through the streets

Of the night sky to infinity

 

But don't you weep

(Don't you weep for them)

Don't you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is nothing as lucky

Honey, don't you weep

(Don't you weep for them)

Don't you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is nothing as lucky

As easy

Or free

 

Don't be a criminal in this police state

You'd better shop and eat and procreate

You've got vacation days, then you might escape

To a condo on the coast

I set my watch to the atomic clock

I hear the crowd count down until the bomb gets dropped

I always figured there'd be time enough

I never let it get me down

But I can't help it now

Looking for faces in the clouds

I've got some friends I barely see

But we're all planning to meet

We'll lay in bags as dead as leaves

All together for eternity

 

But don't you weep

(Don't you weep for us)

Don't you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is no one as lucky

Honey, don't you weep

(Don't you weep for us)

Don't you weep

(Don't you weep)

There is nothing as lucky

As easy

Or free

 

Or free

Or free

Or free

 

There is nothing

There's nothing

There's nothing

Who's gonna feed the hungry
Who's gonna feed the poor
Who's gonna stand and help me fight
That lean wolf that's howling at my door

When I wake up in the morning
To face another day
Hunger's hanging over my head
There's a weakness in my stomach,. Lord
It's always been that way
Hunger's hanging over my head

When the kids come in from playing
There's nothing there to eat
Hunger's hanging over my head
It makes me feel so helpless
From my head down to my feet
Hunger's hanging over my head

And when the day is over
And it's time to go to bed
Hunger's hanging over my head
My prayers are for tomorrow, Lord
To see my family fed
Hunger's hanging over my head

Look a'here, some people say we got a lot of malice

Some say it's a lotta nerve

I say we won't quit moving

Til we get what we deserve

We've been buked and we've been scourned

We've been treated bad, talked about

As just as sure as you're born

But just as sure as it take

Two eyes to make a pair, huh

Brother, we can't quit until we get our share

 

Say it loud,

I'm black and I'm proud

Say it loud,

I'm black and I'm proud, one more time

Say it loud,

I've worked on jobs with my feet and my hands

But all the work I did was for the other man

And now we demands a chance

To do things for ourselves

we tired of beating our heads against the wall

And working for someone else

Alright, so tough, you're tough enough

Say it louder,

I'm black and I'm proud

 

Now we demand a chance to do things for ourselves

We tired of beating our heads against the wall

And working for someone else

A look a'here,

One thing more I got to say right here

Now, we're people like the birds and the bees

We rather die on our feet,

Than keep living on our knees

 

Say it loud,

I'm black and I'm proud, hu

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, we've seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war

If a hurricane doesn't leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don't try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

[Guitar Solo]

And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain buried the 9th Ward to the 2nd floor

According to my watch the time is now
Past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Don't try to explain it just bow your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Outside
Gets inside
Through her skin.
Ive been out before
But this time its much safer in.

Last night in the sky,
Such a bright light.
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep

Breathing,
(out, in, out, in, out, in...)
Breathing,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in.

Weve lost our chance.
Were the first and the last, ooh,
After the blast.
Chips of plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.

I love my
Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.
You and me
Knew life itself is

Breathing,
(out, in, out, in, out...)
Breathing,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out...
(out!)

In point of fact it is possible to tell the
(out!)
Difference between a small nuclear explosion and
A large one by a very simple method. the calling
Card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that
Is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter
Even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration
Of this flash that we are able to determine the size
(what are we going to do without? )
Of the weapon. after the flash a fireball can be
Seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust
And living things around the area of the explosion,
And as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable
As the familiar mushroom cloud. as a demonstration
Of the flash duration test lets try and count the
Number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very
Small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized
Bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful,
High-yield bombs

What are we going to do without?
Ooh please!
What are we going to do without?
Let me breathe!
What are we going to do without?
Ooh, quick!
We are all going to die without!
Breathe in deep!
What are we going to die without?
Leave me something to breathe!
We are all going to die without!
Oh, leave me something to breathe!
What are we going to do without?
Oh, god, please leave us something to breathe!
We are all going to die without
Oh, life is--breathing
.

'Bang!' Goes Another Kanga

On The Bonnet Of The Van.

Many An Aborigine's Mistaken For A Tree

'Til You Near Him On The Motorway

And The Tree Begin To Breathe.

'See The Light Ram Through The Gaps In The Land.'

Coming In With The Golden Light

In The Morning.

Coming In With The Golden Light

Coming In With The Golden Light

Is My Dented Van.

Erase The Race That Claim The Place

And Say We Dig For Ore,

Or Dangle Devils In A Bottle

And Push Them From The Pull Of The Bush.

'See The Light Ram Through The Gaps In The Land.'

You Find Them In The Road.

'See The Light Bounce Off The Rocks To The Sand.'

In The Road.

 

Coming In With The Golden Light

In The Morning.

Coming In With The Golden Light

With No Warning.

Coming In With The Golden Light

We Bring In The Rigging.

Oh, come crush me now
Don't leave
No one has won this war
This time

No, don't sleep tonight
I'm hurt and ready for fire
Don't leave me up
Alarmed and ready to die

Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on

Please, I'm almost done
Don't you treat
I've loaded my gun
With love, with...
Hear the dust roll over the floor
Why must you sleep?
Come crush me now
I'm armed
And ready to die

Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, it's war, come on

You look so peaceful
when you sleep
Beautifully
It's such an easy way to choose
You loose

Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on

You look so peaceful
when you sleep
Beautifully
It's such an easy way to choose
You loose
