Outside World

Theres a wind on the eastern side
Ghost gums dance in the moonlit night
Mopoke mourns the racketeers
The bosses they can sense your mood
All in place to a hand that rules
They all want to deal you out
I can see the outside world
Everythings inviting in the outside world
Leaving all my problems in the outside world
Its the summer of another year
A little world weary a little more to fear
Hold those cards tight to your chest
Maybe someday you could be a man
Living quietly in a caravan
Not the lismore road tonight

Redneck Wonderland

I dont want to run I dont want to stay
Cos everything thats near and dear is old and in decay
Emergency has gone, apathy rolling on
Time to take a stand
Redneck wonderland
Got you in my sights, spotlit by the fence
If your small youre faking, its just common sense
Brick and tile for miles, rolling in the aisles
Rifle in my hand
Redneck wonderland
Well the streets are clean, nothing gets away
I can see the beauty treatment draining from your face
It is vision free, its poor bugger me
Something less than grand
Redneck wonderland

Return To Sender

Well I want to return to my sender
Well I want to return
There is so much that I cant remember
But theres so much to choose
We are laying the tracks for the company
Across all space and all time
Any insinkerator will remind you
What can happen to you
Theres a billboard as high as a mountain
Neon lights up the hill
Cast no shadow and leave no traces
We are grist for the mill
Hold me control me into the arms we fall
Sugar the future sale of the century
Trying to turn the world around
Trying to turn the world around
Ive come to turn your world around.

Head Over Heels

Im head over heels
You know how it feels to be in love
Im head over heels
Holding back the chills in love
I think I like the sound were chasing
Im giving it all and youre reciprocating
Im head over heels
Turning back the wheels of love
Were stealing the show
Youre stealing my money and love
Youre all the same you part-time lovers
When it starts to rain
Youre hiding under the covers
It just dont add up
This summer fever
She turns the truth
And I dont believe her
Stories flying, love is dying
In the end I cant understand her lying

Beds Are Burning

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fairs fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to them
Lets give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From kintore east to yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
(live - on scream in blue
The time has come

Whoah

The lord is my temple
God is by my side
You pay rates on that temple
Build materials at the side
He gives reasons
To get through the day
He doesnt have rinse action
He just says
Whoah - oh
Dont wanna see you back here again
Girls are not smiling
The stars have gone out
The man with the landslide
Got his head in the ground
Like an unopened letter
Left under the door
He says I am the answer youre looking for
Whoah - oh
Dont wanna see you back here again
Above we dream in the androporosphere

Section 5 (Bus To Bondi)

Push start that car tomorrow
Ill take it to the tip yard
Well Ill leave it as a metal wreck
For cats to sleep
Then Ill catch the bus to bondi
Swim the beach and wonder
Who can wear the fashion when
The place is oh so hot
Im just part of this play
Im making an inroad on the one and only
Im just part of this play
Ive finally decided Im here to stay
Then Ill stop the small talk
Then Ill stop the games
Ill show them that the plans
Ive made arent wrong, whats wrong?
Then Ill shop at new world
Fill it up with real toys
Initiate a face-lift for the captains to corrupt

Dreamworld

The breakfast creek hotel is up for sale
The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail
So farewell to the norfolk island pines
No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine
End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Your dreamworld will fall
So shut that buckle and turn that key again
Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends
Open wide drive that mystery road
Walk through edens garden and then wonder as you go
Sign says honeymoon to rent
Cloudland into dreamland turns
The sun comes up and we all learn
Those wheels must turn

Section 5

Push start that car tomorrow
I'll take it to the tip yard
Well i'll leave it as a metal wreck
For cats to sleep
Then i'll catch the bus to bondi
Swim the beach and wonder
Who can wear the fashion when
The place is oh so hot
I'm just part of this play
I'm making an inroad on the one and only
I'm just part of this play
I've finally decided i'm here to stay
Then i'll stop the small talk
Then i'll stop the games
I'll show them that the plans
I've made aren't wrong, what's wrong?
Then i'll shop at new world

Surfing With A Spoon

Well you knew from the start
That a one way loving wouldnt last
You think Im moving slowly girl
I tell you, youre moving way too fast
Working in the city from 9 to 5
Traffic on the highway gonna blow my mind
Surfing with a spoon all the rest of the time
Oh yeah, all the rest of time
You better find your way without me
cause Im heading for the coast in june
Dont talk about me when Im gone
You know I couldnt leave too soon
Working...
Im back in town, youre still around
I guess Ill have to stay away
Im going up north where the weathers fine
And Im living it from day to day
Working...
(hirst/moginie/rotsey/garrett)
