See her go 06:59
lyrics Smile and say goodbye to the setting sun she's almost gone mother fall away to another dream we'll be waiting for you see her go over, over She gave birth to the whole world what a thing to do now love is in my heart you put it there now it's racing free time is shifting to another speed see her go over, over setting sun, smile and say goodbye see her go over, over Deeper, sliding deeper she can hear the darkness singing it happens every time an angel cries there's no escape from this fate see her go, see her passing over see her go over, over setting sun, smile and say goodbye see her go over, over

A cool breeze is blowing and I'm not knowing what to do A voice keeps telling me that time is selling me for a buck, maybe two I'm gonna pick myself up, start all over again I'm gonna pick myself up, dust myself off and start again Well the dark days keep coming, with them I'm chumming so well I'd like to be jolly but I'm too melancholy I fell, down too far I'm gonna pick myself up, start all over again I'm gonna pick myself up, dust myself off and start again My heart's been broke so many times Can be broken no more instead my back and my teeth crack and suffer I got so down, such a silly duffer I'm gonna pick myself up, start all over again I'm gonna pick myself up, dust myself off and start again The lord has his eyes on me, they're weepin and winking you see The devil's in my ear once more , wolves are growling at the door

Put your donkey on the roof and don't forget to tie it up to the t.v. antenna Place the goats milk in the fridge, tomorrow comes we'll make cheese and eat it for supper ooh ooh ooh ooh lets sit around the table ooh ooh ooh ooh we have wood to keep the oven hot the bread will bake and we'll have a shot or two Jesse's favourite cow is old he doesn't know how long she's got until her last moo Grandpa's in the same old boat they just might row off together on a voyage to somewhere new ooh ooh ooh ooh it isn't time to leave ooh ooh ooh ooh we'll all be together singing songs and laughing till we cry and hugging long long be together Put the donkey on the roof milk the goat and pat the cow give grandpa another hug kiss your nanna on the cheek hold the baby in your arms hold the baby in your arms

Run 03:35
I'm gonna run through the streets and suburbs to the edge of town and beyond I'm gonna run until the sun goes down and freedom for my heart's been fought for and won Please give me a wave if you see me passing by cause I'll be moving fast like the wind does in the sky Lizards will be leaping over speeding cars tonight I'll be sleeping underneath the stars I'm gonna run through the valley to the mountain top so I can clearly see I'm gonna find a path that leads me to enlightenment and spirit of the free Run to you I'm gonna run to you I'm gonna run Run I'm gonna run I'm gonna run I'm gonna run Desert flowers smiling all around my feet are lifting so far off the ground their's no-one out here to be found I'm gonna run through the desert to the big blue ocean on the other side I'm gonna run until the heart and soul of man and mother nature does collide so please give me a wave if you see me passing by cause I'll be moving fast like the wind does in the sky lizards will be leaping over speeding cars tonight I'll be sleeping underneath the stars I'm gonna run I'm gonna run RUN

I got a dog and she stares at me when I'm cooking in the kitchen making everyones tea If I catch her eye she looks the other way if she could talk she'd probably say Your food tote smells better than mine I drink a lot of water can I try some wine If I could I'd pick up my poo Sorry its another damn chore for you I do what you say when I'm sent to my chair I let you wash my beautiful stinky hair sorry that I smell other dogs arses maybe you should teach dog etiquette classes dog etiquette classes, call now 1800 020 000 I think I've gone a little bit suburban crazy I got a kid who doesn't get mad she like lying in bed and texting her dad I'm hungry do we have anything to eat? I say maybe should use those itty bitty feet and walk to the kitchen and toast some bread cover it with butter and your favourite spread pour a glass of milk and grab sumthin sweet come and have a chat before you retreat you know when I was a kid we had a phone on the wall you were lucky if the thing even rang at all I answered it once it was for me Kathy Moore said FLAT NOSE FRECKLE FACE FREAK!!! I gotta go do my homework now dad.....Bye I think I've gone a little bit suburban crazy I think I've gone a little bit suburban crazy I got a wife and she loves me so If I wasn't such a good cook well I don't know She asked me if I'd like a cup of tea it's been half an hour she forgot about me well we have a big laugh and we turn on the tele and both start fartin and it gets real smelly once a pretty bride and a handsome groom now we're waiting to die in the living room growin old together is a tricky thing you gotta have a kiss and a cud and a sing holding hands is recommended if you don't do these things you may as welled it I think I've gone a little bit suburban crazy

I met her in the afternoon she had an old wet blanket in her hands I watched her wrestle it on the line but it weighed too much it hit the ground so he helped her double it over it didn't need any pegs to keep it on there and we stood there for a moment in a constant state of becoming She told me about her family and that her mother died recently The dogs around us played tug of war with a knotted rope they growled and played I sighed and said I'm sorry death is always closer than we'd like to know she said ya that could be true it lets you know its near when you're feeling blue sometimes She had freckles on her face they danced as she moved in the western sun We talked some more but I can't recall what was even said at all Then she wandered through the garden and back into her house and I looked up to the window and saw her smiling free Every day is like a pot of gold it glows sparkles and never dies and every breath is a privelidge bow it out carefully and choose those words wisely for a thought is just a thought you don't say so An expression is oh so powerful but we'll never know what anyone is thinking

Tall beige walls surround the biggest malls suburbia falls when the desert calls burgers, sushi, sunrise salad yacht rock radio, cheesy ballads entering freeway 405 I hope we make it down to L.A alive Brad Pitt billboards on Hollywood streets undersized over priced penthouse suites Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies especially black and white ones they're so groovy Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies Are there any more cool dark dank bars? Any info please let me know where they are with a booth or two, a juke box too a piano in the corner for the Tom Waits mourner Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies Especially black and white ones well they're so groovy Stairwell shadows climb up deco hotels Handsome men with their beautiful belles Igor's mashing it up real fine He's a soul singer for the modern times Every Friday afternoon you'll find the bottle shops crazed workers won't stop drinking till their week is erased Saturday morning sun seems brighter coffee yawning for the bacon biter Thugby, sport club, dog is happy Red light ticket, so damn crappy try to have a chat with the father in-law but he stares straight ahead and hardly moves his jaw Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies especially black and white ones they're so groovy Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies Men act like boys, most of them are they never grow up so they'll never go far this meat is worth singing about it tastes like fire I aint got a car but I got a spare tyre Plastic bags filled with bottled water the internet has kidnapped my beautiful daughter minor setback with my fruit toast burnin psychologist said it's not to concerning but just in case it happens again take this medication and you'l find Zen Doodlin with your finger on the foggy window pain lost in plan swirling round in your brain if you keep sippin on sap from the psychedelic tree you'll be crying for your mother, you'll be down on your knees Box car frames in the boneyard burnin Children teaching adults but their still not learning One road goes east and the other goes west either or good luck, all the best Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies especially black and white ones they're so groovy Nuthin ever looks like it does in the movies

Hi,Ive been writing n singing songs since I was 16 yrs old.
I have travelled around, met lots of colourful characters and seen many a beautiful day.
I grew up across from the Coral sea in Kingscliff ,north NSW.
It was there I learnt how to surf, fish, play drums and a few guitar chords and write songs.
See you on the road sometime.
