You’re Gonna Get Burned
Well I’ve been around awhile now
so let me tell you what I know
Well I’ve been around awhile now
so let me tell you what I know
If ya mixing fire and gasoline baby
you know its gonna blow
Well I’ve seen and heard a lot now
so let me tell you what I’ve learned
Well I’ve seen and heard a lot now
so let me tell you what I’ve learned
If ya gonna play with matches baby
you know you’re gonna get burned
Well I caught you with another
and brother that ain’t ya mother
and now ya gonna find out how
the match feels when its put into the flame
and don’t forget who is to blame
so you can beg and plead and grovel baby
I’m gonna burn you just the same

Bliss

Bliss!
The wonder and the joy of your love, that I miss
The feeling so sublime every time we kiss
To slide into your arms is a craving I’ll never dismiss
The mem’ry of your touch is all I think of when I reminisce
And even when I’m sleeping I will never want for any more than this
Bliss!
And suddenly you’re back in the room with me
My life is now a glorious melody
And all at once my heart is growing faster than the national debt
I feel like I’ve been draggin on a marujana cigarette
And such intoxication, a sensation I will never forget

Whisper it to me, Baby

On Holiday, in the south of France
Came a voice that said
Would you care to dance
And yesterday, in the shopping aisle
Came a voice that said
Tarry for a while
But neither one, got it right for me
Didn’t light my fire
Wasn’t meant to be
So listen up, I’m about to share
What you need to know
How to get me there
Talk about the weather
Talk about whatever
No need to be clever
With your repartee
No amount of punning
Gets my motor running
All your native cunning
Won’t lead me astray
But take a bold endeavour make a delicate pout
Make your voice all soft and tender make it never a shout
Put your thoughts into a whisper let me be in no doubt
Put your lips where I can hear them that’s what I’m all about
Whisper it to me Baby
Whisper it to me Baby
Whisper it to me Baby

Catapult!

Catapult, Catapult, Catapult into my heart
Catapult, Catapult, Catapult into my heart
Catapult, Catapult, Catapult into my heart
Catapult, Catapult, Catapult into my heart
Catapult, Catapult!
You fired the gun
I came undone
I tried to run
Into the sun
Catapult, Catapult, into my heart

Down in Old New Orleans
05:06
|
|||
|
I lost my mind in a sleazy bar in Paris
I lost my soul in a Spanish gambling den
I lost my heart at the beach down in Beaumaris
Though it turned out – he was a bit of a stegasaurus
I lost my glasses, on the way to Sassafrassas
I lost my licence - it was in my going-out bag
I lost my wallet, to a nasty ol’ pick pocket
And I lost my jeans down in old New Orleans
I’m not gonna go into the detail about that situation
For that you will have to rely on your imagination
I lost my money, in a game of Gin Rummy
I lost my phone, some lovely lady took it home, it wasn’t funny
I lost my dreams, by mixing vinegar and honey
And I lost my jeans, down in old New Orleans
I’m not gonna go into the detail about that situation
For that would be a tarnishing remark against my sparkling reputation
That’s more of a back room conversation
I lost my way, looking for a dirty secret
I lost my pay, when I found I couldn’t keep it
I lost my job when I wrote that message and forgot to delete it
And I lost my jeans, down in old New Orleans
And I lost my jeans, on a ceiling fan, in old New Orleans
And I lost my jeans, down in old New Orleans

Verse (not recorded)
Whether winter, spring or fall
and in summer, most of all
When the solace of confiding
all the secrets you've been hiding
is a siren’s call you simply can’t resist
There is someone you should meet
Who is ever so discreet
They are never judge presiding
There’s no mocking, no deriding
Rest your weary heart ‘cos they really can assist
Chorus 1
Margaret River Moon, Margaret River Moon
Your twilight colour so gentle
Margaret River Moon, Margaret River Moon
my thoughts so inconsequential
Refrain 1
I need your counsel tonight
won't you hear me out once more?
And your deepest insight
though you've heard it all before
Here beside the sycamore
Chorus 2
Margaret River Moon, Margaret River Moon
I hope it's no imposition
Margaret River Moon, Margaret River Moon
I just need someone to listen
Refrain 2
It's strange that you have become
The one on whom I must rely
And yet according to some
There’s no way to justify
Waiting here for your reply
Chorus 3
Margaret River Moon, Margaret River Moon
It's been a long expedition
Margaret River Moon, Margaret River Moon
And now you’ve heard my petition
Refrain 3 (with tag)
your wisdom, beauty and grace
rising up into the sky
Just like a lover’s embrace
Gives me solace by and by
Even as I say goodbye
To my fears and my sorrow
And the Margaret River Moon

Can You Imagine?
05:42
|
|||
|
Youthful looks have faded
And we're just a little jaded
Write a song for me
In a minute I'll be ninety
And the colt from old regret will get away
Still there's time for romance
Though we may run out of finance
That's a risk we'll have to take
And there's no-one that I'd rather
Take a risk on than the beauty that is you
Do you remember, long ago now
There was a time we thought we’d never be apart?
I was the gambler, you the shepherd
And when the time was right you came and won my heart
Then came the sorrow, and the sadness
Then came the words that both of us would best forget
All of our troubles, cast a shadow
It’s little wonder we were tempted by regret
Now you’re away I wish that you were still around
When I’m alone I feel a sadness so profound
Can you imagine, can you even realise?
When all is said and done I’m still in love with you
Now that I’m older, none the wiser
Now that you know my fears and dreams for what they are
Now that we’re really, too familiar
Now that you’ve seen and heard my total repertoire
Can you accept me, and trade what might have been?
Can you forgive me, and start with me again?
Can you imagine, can you even realise?
When all is said and done I’m still in love with you
Can you imagine dear? - I’m still in love with you

Verse 1
I know exactly what is on your mind dear
I didn’t need to be an Einstein dear
it’s written right across your face
don’t try to say its not the case
You’re wondering if I’m the one for you dear
Verse 2
It’s true the game of love is hard to play dear
but playing hard to get, is so cliché dear
you’re thinking you should hesitate
I say it’s time to consummate
Let’s see if I can help, give you a sign dear
Bridge
come and spread some butter on my toast
add some salt and pepper to my roast
pour me something harder
from your private larder
I’m no blushing violet when it comes to love
so squeeze some lime and bitters in my gin
pluck my banjo, tune my violin
be my new mechanic
scuttle my titanic
give me masterclasses in the birds and bees cos
Chorus
I already know you’re the one for me
there’s no need to wait for the ecstasy
so give me some molasses
come and make some passes
don’t you think it’s time that you were
foggin’ up my glasses
I already know you’re the one for me
Verse 4
It’s never any fun, to run away dear
I’ll be your number one, so come and play dear
you think that you’re rejectable
I’m sayin’ you’re delectable
lets see if I can help, give you a sign dear
Bridge
light a match and break me out of jail
send me flying off the Richter scale
come untie my locket
bring your wrench and socket
I’m no blushing violet when it comes to love
So come and sew a button on my coat
cross the bridge and jump into my moat
dress me in balsamic
make my mother panic
give me masterclasses in the birds and bees cos
Chorus
I already know you’re the one for me
there’s no need to wait for the ecstasy
give me some molasses
come and make some passes
don’t you think its time that you were
foggin’ up my glasses
I already know you’re the one for me

The Road to You
04:46
|
|||
|
There’s a secret the universe is keeping from me
Its a puzzle, a riddle, its a mystery
Whats the road I need to travel
That will lead me straight to you
Should I ask a fortune teller or consult a map
Should I dress for lunch or dinner
Maybe wear a special hat?
Did you walk past me just now
Got to find you I don’t know how
I know my lover’s somewhere out there waiting
So kind, so gentle and so captivating
Send me your latitude and reach
A mountain or a beach
Just tell me where to find you
And when we meet there’ll be no hesitating
When its right baby its right
Come and be with me tonight
The magical moment is almost here
The mystics are casting their spells
I can see all our friends
Wishing us well while we vow
Somewhere somehow
Come lead me down the road to you
Cupid its time for you to start providing
Stand tall, take aim and send your arrow flying
Or am I bound to be alone
The love I’ve never known
To fade into the starlight
Maybe but I will spend forever trying
Searching, walking, the road to you

I Prefer to Swing
03:49

I met you down the bayou
And babe I really like you
I like it when you kiss me
Especially when you kiss me
We went beyond third base
After our first embrace
But we can't continue
Because we have an issue
It's all about the music
And I'm about to lose it
Looks like we're out of luck
We're gonna come unstuck
You like funk
I know that you like it when they
Play that funk
You like funk
It gets you excited when they
Play that funk
You like funk
Your heart gets ignited when they
Play that funk
You like funk
But we've got a problem that will fuck us up
'Cos I prefer to swing
Babe I like to swing
Yeah I gotta swing
I prefer to swing!

We Were Meant to Be
04:11
|
|||
|
I remember how it used to be
Just before you were introduced to me
Colours were all black and white to me
Taste smell and touch - didn’t seem to mean much to me
Then the strangest serendipity
All of a sudden you were next to me
Birdsong transformed into rhapsody
I felt the sun, shining down on me
I’m still basking in the afterglow
Why you love me, I will never know
but it seems like destiny
and I think it’s plain to see
All the happiness you bring
And the way you light up everything
is the universe deciding
We were meant to be
