Under The Bridge
His mamma said she loved him
Though he’d caused her so much pain
He remembered how she held him
As he melted in the rain.
CHO
His children stood in silence
Their faces said it all
And as love rained down around him
He turned his face and hid
And stared into the river
Under the bridge, under the bridge.
His sweetheart said she loved him
Even if he didn’t care
He remembered how she held him
As he tumbled through the air.
BRI
And the last time that I saw him
You know I was just a kid
Playing by the river under the bridge.
Yeah everybody said they loved him
Although he’d done them wrong
They recalled only the good times
As he sank like a stone
They said the rest was water
Yeah, it’s all just water
Under the bridge, under the bridge.

I Do

I Do
The day is with us
To be joined as one
With God as witness
To the love just begun
In a gown of pure snowflakes
Flowing up the aisle
Along the path that love makes
With a tear in your smile.
Cho
So may we dream together
And may our love stay true
And our promise last forever
When we say I do.
The day is with us
To be joined as one
With God as witness
To the years yet to come
Before us two lifetimes
Weave for evermore
Through the good and hard times
We swear our love will endure.

60 MPH
I've travelled down this outback road
One too many times
I've hit each dirty pothole
And shot at each road sign
At the end of the journey
One thing makes it all worthwhile
At the end of that long hot drive
I'll see heaven smile.
Cho: 60mph
It's all this old car can do
I'm going 60mph
And a thousand miles for you
My baby's at that old motel
Got there late last night
She's staring down that long dark road
Searching for my lonely light
I pull up in the driveway
And step into the stars
Nothing else matters anymore
Except the love in our hearts.
Bri: Nothing out here to hang on to
Can't stand still for long
There's something in the distance
When you get there it's gone
It's just you and me
And the road we're on
It's just you and me
And not for long.

For Your Life
Come on little darling
Gonna take you out tonight
There’s a circus on the outskirts of town
It’s such a warm summer night
I’m feeling a little restless
Guess it must be the heat
I need some excitement
This life’s too damn neat.
CHO
So let your hair down
Put your blue jeans on
Get a grip on my hand
And baby hang on for your life.
Ah your daddy’s out drinkin’
‘n mamma’s cried herself to sleep
I know just what you’re thinkin’
Some day that’ll be you ‘n me
But shake ‘em loose and leave ‘em all behind
Don’t wait for another day
Wrap your heart up inside mine
Let me take you away.
BRI
And I’ll win you a prize
In the shooting gallery
Show you clowns with painted smiles
Let you be what you wanna be …
My head is spinning
From all the noise and the lights
Like children we’re screaming
On the roller coaster of life.

Just Cruisin’
I’m just cruisin’ down your street
Take a look out your window, yeah that’s me
The top’s turned down, the sound’s turned up
So jump in beside me and we’ll take off.
CHO
Just cruisin’
With the sun and the wind in my face
Just cruisin’
Nowhere to go except some other place
Just cruisin’
Ah goin’ with the flow
Just cruisin’
Ah let the four wind blow.
I’m just cruisin’, it’s been a long week
I’ve earnt my money and deserve a break
I’ve pulled on over and opened the door
So jump in honey, what you waiting for.
BRI
Not running away, not tryin’ to hide
Not chasin’ anything, everything just right
Just cruisin’.

Road to Nowhere
Pack your bags
Honey we’re leavin’
This old place just gets us down
You’re lookin’ sad
And the kids are screamin’
We’ll find our space in some other town.
CHO
Oh we’ve come a long way on the road to nowhere
It’s been a long day, getting’ nowhere
It’s been a long day, on the road to nowhere
Not much to say, on the road to nowhere
Let’s just pray it all leads somewhere.
We’ve covered some miles
And we’re still goin’
All of these streets
Are lookin’ the same
Nobody smiles
The traffic ain’t flowin’
Stuck in the heat of an endless day.
BRI
We’ll travel on the same old road
Traveling on, nowhere else to go, nowhere else to go.
Pack your bags, we're leavin'.

That Long Runway

Long Runway
Fogged in, fogged in
Can't see the end of my nose
Locked in, locked in
Between my head n my toes
Bustin to get away
To another time n place
Bustin to cut loose
Get off my face
I'm waitin on the long runway
For clearance to take off today
Waitin on that long runway
Hey you guys, don't take all day.
Touch down, touch down
The dark side of the earth
Run down, run down
Digging deep in the dirt
Scratching for memories
Lost in the jet lag blues
Fumbling through photographs
For just one of you.
I'm waiting on that long runway ...
They say the world is round not flat
But fly right round you won't get back
The place you left isn't quite the same
The life you had has slipped so far away.

The FIFO

The FIFO
Each week she’d farewell
Her husband and son
Fly out of the big city
To the back of beyond
To sleep in a demountable
On the dusty edge of town.
T’was the night before the pit wall
Decided to fall down.
CHO
Oh the mines run deep
At Blackwater creek
And when the hot wind howls
The ghost gums speak
“Leave the spirit of my coal
Locked deep underground
Or one day it will rise up
And tear your world down!”
The power plants in Asia
Demanded much more coal
So the mine manager
Increased production goals
So she drove one more load
In her big yellow truck
Like the toy she gave her son
As she left and he wished her luck.
BRI
That was the last
Anyone saw of her
Now her name lives on a cross
Upon a million tons of dirt
Upon all those lives lost
For digging up mother earth.

Shadow of a Man

|
I'm a shadow of the man I used to be
Couldn't tell you all the things I've done
Couldn't tell you who 've loved and who loves me
Can't remember a single one
Can't remember a single one.

Oh the Murray River's flowing and the riverboat is going
to turn us boys into men
Our mothers and sweethearts are weeping, not knowing,
if we're ever coming home again
- are we ever coming home again?
