See her go

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

Pick myself up
03:13
|
|||
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

Suburban crazy
03:33
|
|||
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

She had freckles
02:52
|
|||
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

The girl's been taken
05:18
|
|||
The stairway to your room sends a clear message
do not come near me I wanna be alone
we're always around if you ever need us
hormones abound on the school bus
do you need a light
do you need a light
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
my heart is breaking
for you, the girl's been taken away
now your lost caught between two worlds
you'll be here soon just keep goin
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
when you make it through you'll be rockin
the world around will be unlocking too
you're first steps in might be shaky
once you get goin there'll be no looking back
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
do ya need a light
my heart is breaking
for you, the girls been taken
the girls been taken
the girls been taken

Smile
04:40
|

Planet earth makes me smile
most of us do what we can
to live the maximum lifespan
filling it with all the things that get you high
like when you help stranger out
or go on a big walkabout
it makes you feel good without a doubt
it does
and if you ever feel sad
or think you might be going mad
you can always look at the sky
it might help you change your mind
the endless beauty that you see
will always be right there in front of you
and me
all that's left for you to do is smile
smile
smile
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling
smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling, I'm smiling

Take me back
04:24
|
|||
You were right
and I was wrong
we used to be
so very strong
take me back
to how it was
before it got
so complicated
when you got high
you weren't so shy
but when you got low
so did I
I don't belong
anywhere
and you're a child
of the
universe
so take me back
to how it was
before it got
so complicated
take me back
take me back
take me back

Tim Oxley Molong, Australia
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.
