In the beginning there was her and me

Making love, sharing dreams

Before we knew it we had ourselves a family

Passed on to the children everything we knew

Learned our own lessons as our babies grew

And everything got bigger & faster than it used to be

Through the trials & tribulations

And through all the transformations

I came to see some things don't change

Its the same moon in the same sky

The same woman holding me as the years roll by

She's got the same eyes, the same smile

The same way of making me feel my life's worthwhile

The Lord gives & the Lord can take

The day she passed away I thought I'd break

Swallowed up by the earth, drowned by a tidal wave

Now with a young girl's little hand in mine

At sundown in the summer time

We walk & lay fresh flowers on my lady's grave

And as the stars light up the heavens

They send a message to the living

It seems to say some things don't change

It’s still the same moon in the same sky

She watches it with me & I can see that she's her grandma's child

She's got the same eyes, the same sly smile

When she's smiling at me I don't know if I should laugh or cry

Yes it’s the same moon in the same old sky

The same light shining on us like a prayer's reply

I Got You         (Dianna Corcoran & Ross Wilson)  AMCOS / Mushroom Music 

I’ve got some money I play with time

I drive a cool little car, got a home that’s mine

We are connected, stand side by side

We live in a lucky country the future is ours to find

And I got you, I got you

Even if it all disappeared tomorrow

I’d be fine knowing I got you

You’ve watched me struggle & then stand tall

You make my spirits rise, catchin’ ‘em if they fall

Cos I got you, I got you 

And even if it all disappeared tomorrow

I’d be fine knowing I got you

Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor

If you got love, you got it all & more

And I got you 

Oh I got you, I got you

And I got you, yes I got you

Even if it all disappeared tomorrow I’d be fine knowing I got you

Yes even if it all disappeared no sorrow I’d be fine cos I got you

Oh I got you, yeah I got you

And I got you, I got you

We are connected, we stand side by side

We all live in a lucky country the future is ours to find

BED OF NAILS   (R.Wilson / E.O'Brien / J.Pullicino)

When I started out along the road

I put a young man's shoulder to the wheel

Now I've gotten older with the load

I recognize the hand that makes the deal

Lay down in a bed of roses

Woke up lying on a bed of nails

It’s the oldest of tales

Lose the wind from your sails

You lay down in a bed of roses

And wake up lying on a bed of nails

You sign your name, you pay the price

Never see the poison in the pen

They mark the cards and load the dice

You never see which way the game will end

Lay down in a bed of roses

Woke up lying on a bed of nails

It’s the oldest of tales

Lose the wind from your sails

You lay down in a bed of roses

And wake up lying on a bed of nails

"Love is a goldmine / To find it you have to seek it"

You see me comin', you feel like runnin'

A wicked look is in your eye

I don't come to harm you, I come to warn you

It's now or never do or die

I had a vision, head-on collision

A revelation yeah

That sent me on a mission

I come in peace

Love is a goldmine yeah

To find it you have to seek it

Follow the bloodline

It’s flowing rich and deep

And it’s well within our reach

I come in peace

I come in peace

Arrived with nothin', and let me tell you somethin'

We're goin' out the same way

I got your attention and maybe I should mention

Won’t be no rest til peace is made

I had a vision etc

I come in peace

Love is a goldmine

To find it you have to seek it

Follow the bloodline

Its flowing rich and deep

HERE ON GOD’S ISLAND                  4:16

(Ross Wilson & Pat Wilson)  Mushroom Music

“We pray for survival yet all things must pass”

Small planet in a solar system

On the edge of a galaxy

Piece o’ dust in a constellation

Adrift in the cosmic sea

Here on God’s Island; blue, green, and grey

We gather in silence and pray

We pray for survival yet all things must pass

Escape from God’s Island at last

At last

Deliver me from confusion

Make love with me again

Be my wife, give me children

So life will never end

Here on God’s Island I’m making my stand

With God as my pilot I’m well manned

Yes, here on God’s Island there’s proof life exists

On a speck lit by starlight God blessed

How can you deny that it’s worth going on?

For here on God’s Island we belong

We belong

THE LAND OF CONTENTMENT              4:20

(Eris O’Brien) AMCOS 

“Follow the arrows”

Take the freeway south of the city

There’s a new town they call Rolling Meadows

Follow the arrows leading to Land for Sale

Couples with kids and pets building their house of dreams

Here in the Land of Contentment

Where you can savour the moment

In the Land of Contentment.

They got a man-made lake where you can go sailing

There’s a community hall taking pride of place

Leaving the rat race, dirty old dusty streets

Here everything’s shiny and new, walking on clean cement

Here in the Land of Contentment

In the Land of Contentment

Now check out that sunset 

We’ll sleep well till morning

And rise to greet the day

In the Land of Contentment

Living your life here under an open sky

You’ll never be lost for time wondering where it went

Here, here in the Land of Contentment

Where you can savour the moment

In the Land of Contentment.

FISHIN’ ON A RAINY DAY                  3:28

(Eris O’Brien & Ross Wilson)  AMCOS / Mushroom Music 

“Driftin’ in the misty grey”

Sailin’ my boat  huggin’ the coast

From Patterson Lakes into the Bay

Rollin’ past Seaford I’m being lead

On to Sorrento & nearer the Heads

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Driftin’ in the misty grey

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Truth be told I come out here

To taste the salt & breathe the air

Got no rod not even a line

Guess I got something else in mind

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Washin’ all my woes away

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Look at me floatin’ here on my own

The sky drips, the shoreline’s gone

There’s a white bird circlin’ callin’ to me

That’s when I stop, look up, & see

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Driftin’ off across the Bay

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Wishin’ all my blues away

Fishin’ on a rainy day

Driftin’ in the misty grey

OLD COUNTRY ROAD                                      4:18

(Ross Wilson & Daryl Roberts)  Mushroom Music / Control

“Back where the whole trip started”

I’ve heard that life is like a circle

And that you end where you begin

Or maybe its like jumpin’ in a pool

A case of sink or swim

Now some people think that life’s a competition

And that winnin’s everything

Or that the Lord is smilin’ down upon us

Laughing at the way we sin

Reminds me of a dream I have

Keeps on comin’  around

Uh-huh uh-huh

I’m on that old country road

Back where this whole trip started

And there’s a song on the radio

Wailin’ ‘bout the broken-hearted

They play it over & over

Until my dream is gone

Over & over, until I wake up

And find I got to carry on

Can’t scrape the mud from my shoes

Or pull the knives from out my back

And every freeway I cruise

Turns into the same dirt track

Until I find myself in a lonely place

And there standin’ in the shadows

I see the ghost of the reason why

I left the straight & narrow

Oh here comes that dream again

Keeps on comin’ around

Uh-huh uh-huh

I’m on that old country road

Right back where the whole trip started

And there’s that song on the radio uh-oh

Its wailin’ ‘bout the broken-hearted

They play it over & over until my dream is gone

Over & over, til I wake up

And find I got to carry on

Yes its an old country road

Back where the whole trip started

And there’s a song on the radio

Wailin’ ‘bout the broken-hearted

They play it over & over & over yeah yeah

Until my dreams are gone

Over & over, oh I wake up

And find I got to carry on

Over & over, I’m trippin’ down that old country road

Yeah over & over, I keep hearing that same old song

Over & over, yeah it’s the same old dream

You know one day I just might find out what it means

STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM             3:03

(Ross Wilson)  Mushroom Music

“I’ve lived and I have learned that even when it’s unreturned / Love is its own reward”

I’m not the greatest singer in the world

I can barely hold a tune

But here’s a song to tell you how I feel

Though it’s a few years overdue

Strange as it may seem its true

I love you, I love you, I love you

And I would never claim to be a guitar man

But this might strike a chord

I’ve lived and I have learned that even when it’s unreturned

Love is its own reward

Strange as it may seem, oh its true, so true

I love you, I love you, I love you

Yeah strange as it may seem Lord its true, so true

I love you, I love you,

I love you love you love you yes I do

I love you ooh ooh ooh 

I love you

HELL OF A TIME         2:49

(Ross Wilson & Eris O’Brien)  Mushroom Music / AMCOS

“Got what I asked for, can’t complain”

Don’t ask me ‘bout the things I’ve done

I can’t tell you who lost or won

All I know is I had a hell of a time

Don’t ask me ‘bout where I’ve been

I can’t explain the things I’ve seen

But I can tell you I had a hell of a time

I bought a ticket & I took the ride

Now I can’t get off no matter how I try

You see it written on my face

A touch of grief, a brush with grace

You can see it in my eyes I’ve had a hell of a time

Hell of a time

Got what I asked for can’t complain

I’ve found you cannot feel real pleasure without pain

Don’t try to change my destiny

Or tell me what is best for me

It should come as no surprise I’ve had a hell of a time

Give ‘em hell

Hell of a time I’ve had a hell of a time

Hell of a time I had a hell of a time

THE SAME MOON                        4:43

LOVE’S  JOURNEY                  3:28                                                                                                                (Ross Wilson/ Lawrie Minson / Eris O’Brien)

Mushroom Music / Origin Music / AMCOS

“Proceeding down a road much travelled & starting off without a clue”

Love’s journey is not a race yet it must be run

Love’s journey is a taste of things to come

Love’s journey is a puzzle that’s beggin’ to be solved

Love’s journey is a struggle that takes its toll

The journey can be such hard labour at the start

And you can lose your way

Too late you realize you’ve strayed

While bridges burn you love & learn

Proceeding down a road much travelled & starting off without a clue

Love’s mystery unravels as I search for you

On love’s journey, on love’s journey

The journey that was such hard labour at the start

Becomes a pleasure cruise

The sun is out the sailing’s smooth

The moon at night becomes our guiding light

Love’s journey’s like a lazy river flowing to the open sea

Love slowly grows & grows and eventually

Love’s journey finds you here to me

On love’s journey, on love’s journey

On love’s journey, on love’s journey

ROSE MARIE (Throws Flowers At My Heart)            5:52

(Ross Wilson)  Mushroom Music

“the right girl for the part”

When an overwhelming feeling breaks your defences down

And forces send you reeling turn your head around

From an unexpected quarter salvation can appear

The lamb saved from the slaughter rescued and redeemed

Rose Marie throws flowers at my heart

They bloom and then like dandelions

Explode and fall apart

Rose Marie weeps and suddenly

She speaks and breaks the spell and I am free

Rose Marie, Rose Marie

There’s a way to feed the hunger, a path that you can take

A place where your desires couple with your fate

Where hope that springs eternal yields to faith that’s strong

There’s no way you’ll stray or make a move that’s wrong

Rose Marie, the right girl for the part

Returns to me from over the sea

Takes the stage and hits her mark

Rose Marie speaks her lines so eloquently

She performs the scene as it was meant to be

Rose Marie goes on and innocently

She recites the words that bring me my reprieve

Rose Marie, Rose Marie

Rose

Rose Marie

COME BACK AGAIN        (Ross Wilson) 

 (Guitar intro)

Mopin’ around the streets late at night

Worried because you ain’t treatin’ me right

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

Spoke to your dad & I spoke to your mum

They said “Go away boy, leave us alone”

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

Feelin’ so sad, so lonesome too

You don’t how it is to feel sad, lonely, & blue

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

Spoke to your mum & I spoke to your dad

Said I was crazy, made me feel sad

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

(Guitar solo x 1)

I really don’t know what to do

Everything you say just makes me feel blue

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

I went to the dance but I went all alone

I watched you dance & then I followed you home

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

(Repeat guitar intro – followed by guitar solo x 2)

Mopin’ around the streets late at night

Come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

I said come back again I’m just crazy ‘bout you babe

TEENAGE BLUES

I been thinkin' a lot about gettin' a job but I'm paranoid about my hair

I'm just outta school & I don't mind sayin' I'm scared

My folks have been pickin' on me treatin' me bad I just don't think that it's fair

And I got the blues - The Teenage Blues

I got the teenage I wanna screamage

Don't you push me round I might get mad at you

Mama won't you leave me alone papa do that too

That's why - I - got the blues - The Teenage Blues

I put up with school for a long long time I thought I'd paid my teenage dues

But when I asked what was goin' on I found that nobody knew

I've been picked up & put down hyped up & pushed round

And stepped on when I had no shoes

And I got the blues - The Teenage Blues

I got the teenage ma-ma-my I wanna screamage

Don't you push me round because before you know

And baby i wouldn't like to be in your shoes

That's why - I - got the blues - The Teenage Blues

I got the teage blues, I-yi-yi-yi-yi got nothin' to lose

Don't wanna get a job don't wanna go to school

Just wanna hang around street corners like a fool

Cos the way things are there ain't nothin' better to do

It might nifty when I'm fifty but I don't wanna be like you

I got the tenage blues i know i won't be like you

That's why - I - got the blues

COOL WORLD    (Ross Wilson)

your world is as cold as ice

your world is so nice

that you don't want me around

your world is a barren place

that look upon your face

says you don't want me around

i might break into your cool world

break into your cool world

break into your cool cool cool world

in your world there are no regrets

your goals have all been set

there are no more to be found

your world is so well controlled

you will not be told

no you don't hear a sound

it might break into your cool world

break into your cool world

break into your cool cool cool world

somewhere way down deep inside

passion versus pride and walls are shaken  

in the tunnel deep & wide our two worlds will collide

if i am not mistaken

cool & calm your world may be

but why do you believe

that you don't want me around

i can touch you in a way

that you'll cease to say

that you don't want me around

i'll break into your cool world

break into your cool world

break into your cool cool cool world

cos you’re so

so cool

its such a cool cool world

break in break in

cool world cool world

cool cool cool world

COME SAID THE BOY          (Eric McCusker)  

It was a party night it was the end of school 

His head was feeling light - first time.

She seemed much older then, she had turned 17

She knew some older men - the first time.

Come said the boy, lets go down to the sand,

Let’s do what we wanna do, let me be a man for you.

And she said, I’ve been waiting for a long time

And you’ve changed a lot 

Up till now it’s been the wrong time to know

Whether to come here or not

Oh but now come with me boy just take my hand

I’ll let you see what you wanna see

Come on be a man for me

Oh oh oh oh x 4

G U I T A R   S O L O

Oh we’ve both been waiting for a long time

And we’ve both changed a lot

Up till now it seemed the wrong time

To know whether to come here or not.

Oh but come said the boy let’s go down on the sand

And let’s do what we wanna do

Let me be a man for you

She say come with me boy, just take my hand

I’ll let you see what you wanna see

Come on be my man for me.

Oh oh oh oh etc

It was a party night.  It was the end of school

His head was feeling light, it was the first time

She seemed much older then.  She had turned 17. 

She knew some older men, oh the first time

THE FUGITIVE KIND        (R.Wilson/T.Slavich)

Hey don't you know well I've been around
From village green to metropolis town
Got no home but I don't mind
Hey don't you know me I'm the fugitive kind

I been North I been South
I been West I been East
Roamin' the land like a savage beast
I left many a man with an axe to grind
I leave my mark I'm the fugitive kind

I say

Hi ho I got to go
Don't ask me to stay cos the answer is no
Its plain to see that your love is blind
Hey don't you know me I'm the fugitive kind

Well you told me you was an outlaw girl
Yeah & if we got together we could take on the world
But outlaw love will never bind
Don't put your trust in the fugitive kind

And I got no past that I would talk about
So don't you ask me questions
I won't ease your doubts
I might make a confession but I would never sign
I follow the laws of the fugitive kind

(guitar solo)

And I warn you now there will come a day
Yeah when I will slip away

I say

Hi ho I got to go
Don't ask me to stay cos the answer is no
Its plain to see that your love is blind
Hey don't you know me I'm the fugitive kind

SUMMER OF 81     (Eric McCusker)

Gonna write you a letter
Gonna mail it today
So you won't escape from
These things I wanna say

I wanna thank you for the privilege
I wanna thank you for the pain
I'll be handin' you the ashes
With a thank you for the game

We stood on the balcony
And we watched it together
We were modern men and women
Who changed like the weather
We were one day growin' hot, the next day growin' cold
One day growin' restless, the next day growin' old

Waiting for the countdown, in the summer of '81
Sign up or go underground, in the summer of '81

There's no time for a letter
And there's no one on the phone
So I'll pretend that we're together
I don't want to go alone, no-no-no-no

We stood on the balcony
And we watched it together
We were modern men and women
Who changed like the weather
We were one day growin' hot, the next day growin' cold
One day growin' restless, the next day growin' old

Waiting for the countdown, in the summer of '81
Sign up or go underground, in the summer of '81
We were waiting for the countdown, in the summer of '81
Sign up or go underground, in the summer of '81
Well we were waiting for the countdown in the summer of '81
Waiting for the countdown in the summer of '81
Waiting for the countdown in the summer of '81
Waiting for the countdown, in the summer of '81

A TOUCH OF PARADISE        (Ross Wilson / Kevin 'Gulliver' Smith)

 Recorded first by Mondo Rock in 1982 / made famous by John Farnham in 1986

Flamingos walk and sway in peace

And seeing this it makes my troubles cease

The sun is hiding, leaving a pink scar

It stretches right across the sky, that’s all we see so far

And all I do is look into your eyes

For that special touch of paradise 

Just a touch, a touch of paradise

Just a special touch of paradise.

You hold my hand and that’s when we kiss 

It doesn’t take long, no no no for me to get the gist

Of this love that stretches out across the land

Where rainbows flash as we’re walking in the sand.

And all I do is look into your eyes

For that special touch of paradise 

Just a touch, a touch of paradise

Just a special touch of paradise.

A touch of Spring and Autumn sweet

The trees vibrate when our eyes meet

I think of all the love we two have been making

You touch my hand and I walk off shaking

SOLO

And all I do is look into your eyes

For that special touch of paradise 

Just a touch, a touch of paradise

Just a special touch of paradise

PRIMITIVE LOVE RITES

Sun goes down the rhythm hits 

Ooh that's just the start of it

Before you know it we're all on the move

Down to the local waterhole

To drink until we lose control

Let the drum beat on, let the show begin

That's the way its always been

Primitive love rites

Turn on your love light

Just let it burn bright

Til two bodies meet

Primitive love rites

This is our love night

Baby Just hold tight

Until the ritual's complete

Wild eyes you got the wild hair

You got the wild clothes, you make the men stare

When you move it up there like a rhythm machine

Turn it up now baby turn it on

The ceremony has begun

Won't stop until we hear that final scream

That's the way its always been   

Primitive love rites

Turn on your love light

Just let it burn bright

Til two bodies meet

Primitive love rites

This is our love night

Baby Just hold tight

Until the ritual's complete

All along the asphalt jungle track

Two by two we stagger back

And the full moon shines on a crazy scene

Another night has bit the dust

And we have done the things we must

Now lay me down & let me help you dream

That's the way its always been
