Call of the Wild by GOLDHEIST
I hear you calling me!
across the hills, across the sea
and it echoes, echoes in my memory
calling, calling softly...
this mighty land from which I've come
endless skies and burning sun
the race of life, it will be run
shore to shore...
this mighty land from which I've come
endless skies and burning sun
the race of life, it will be run
shore to shore...
across the hills, across the sea
and it echoes, echoes in my memory
calling, calling softly
calling, calling softly...
Without A Doubt by MELISSA FRASER and Ashleigh Dallas
without a doubt, within, without
silence the voices in your head
pull apart a damaged heart
life's a book that you ain't read
lessons learned, the wheel it turns
but you heal and grow with time
don't hide your face, fail with grace
clear some space inside your mind
oh oh oh
walk the walk, work on yourself
there ain't no free ride
if you don't hold on, it's a slippery slide
cut your losses, not your time
some things you've gotta leave behind
without a doubt
things I've learned, stored away
in my pocket for a stronger day
feel the sun from everyone
let the lovers guide my way
and I'll be kind until I find
the beauty in the pain
if you don't agree, it's fine with me
don't ride the haters train
oh oh oh
walk the walk, work on yourself
there ain't no free ride
if you don't hold on, it's a slippery slide
cut your losses, not your time
some things you've gotta leave behind
without a doubt
which way to turn, how much to burn
the things we all go through
will it get cold when it unfolds
overthinking what we do
let go, let live, let love within
without a doubt
let go, let live, let love begin
walk the walk, work on yourself
there ain't no free ride
if you don't hold on, it's a slippery slide
cut your losses, not your time
some things you've gotta leave behind
to make space inside your mind
some things you've gotta leave behind
without a doubt
let go, let live, let love within
without a doubt
let go, let live, let love begin
without a doubt...
My Love by BROOKIE GILLETT
(text by Andrew Marvell "The Definition of Love" 1681)
my love is of a birth as rare
as 'tis for object strange and high
it was begotten by despair
upon impossibility
magnanimous despair alone
could show me so divine a thing
where feeble hope could ne'er have flown
but vainly flapped it's tinsel wing
my love, my love, my love
my love, my love, my love
and yet I quickly might arrive
where my extended soul is fixt
but fate does iron wedges drive
and always crowds itself betwixt
for fate with jealous eyes does see
two perfect loves, no lets them close
their union would her ruin be
and her tyrannical pow'r depose
my love, my love, my love
my love, my love, my love
and therefore her decrees of steel
us as the distant poles have plac'd
though love's whole world on us doth wheel
not by themselves to be embrac'd
unless the giddy heavens fall
and earth some new convulsion tear
and, us to join, the world should all
be cramp'd into a planisphere
as lines, so loves oblique may well
themselves in every angle greet
but our so truly parallel
though infinite, can never meet
therefore the love which us doth bind
but Fate so enviously debars
is the conjunction of the mind
and opposition of the stars
my love, my love, my love
my love, my love, my love
Women in War by BELINDA DAY and Luke O'Shea
Left! Right! All together, marching off to war
our fathers, sons and lovers, like so many times before
and we are left here with hearts a breaking
in this world of men
who'll fight and die for freedom
but they'll never comprehend in this time
how hard it is - the strength inside a girl
and how hard it is to bring life into this world
remembering those who answered the call
lest we forget the women in war
now we are left (RIGHT), off to work in farms and factories
and the nurses on the frontline, wherever there is need
but there's no greater suffering than to wait, then have to mourn
all the fathers, sons and lovers who never would return to this life
how hard it is - that resolve inside a girl
and how hard it is to bring life into this world
remembering those who answered the call
to fight like women in war
how hard it is - the strength inside a girl
and how hard it is to bring life into this world
remembering those who answered the call
lest we forget the women in war
Let Them Sing by ANNA WEATHERUP
tick, tick, tick time flies away
I'm still searching for yesterday
something happened along the way
that's left me here, here I stay
I can feel it deep in my bones
I've missed the boat, so it goes
can someone please show me the way
and navigate me out of this daze
help me find yesterday
lights fade up and they fade down
their songs in the air a distant sound
the heroes of the night can't be found
as their dreams fall quickly to the ground
I can feel it deep in my bones
I've missed the boat, so it goes
can someone please show me the way
and navigate me out of this daze
help me find yesterday
Ohhhhhh...let them sing, hear them ring!
Ohhhhhh...let them sing, hear them ring!
tick, tick, tick time flies away
I'm still searching for yesterday...
September by KATY WREN
I've wandered all my life to this moment
I stare it down as I wave goodbye to all I know
And am I only dreaming?
'Cause right now all I want to know...
and I hope my wings don't melt and fall away
I won't survive on more lonely life
one more heartache...not today anyway
only one can rise from this
and heaven will hear my cries for just one kiss
and how many angels before me fell to this?
before they flew away...
and I hope my wings don't melt and fall away
I won't survive on more lonely life
one more heartache...not today anyway
now I know you're gone, well, I feel you more
and I'm just trying to move on, let me sail away...
and I hope my wings don't melt and fall away
I won't survive on more lonely life
one more heartache...
oh take my heart, take my head
my love, my hate, wash it away
wash away the lonely days...let me just sail away
I've wandered all my life to this moment
now I'm alone, I wave goodbye to all I know
and am I only dreaming...
am I only dreaming...
Better Still by AMY VEE
I hadn't taken all my meds when I fell into the unmade bed
eye liner on my sheets, what is this aching in my feet?
early wake to pay delays, haven't felt the sun in days
manufacturing a face, just pour the coffee in my veins
the deep furrow in my brow seems a defining feature now
I'm sorry I've been such a mess, it's just one of the side effects
hands that cannot form a punch, I haven't changed my strings for months
half awake and half alive, half a day left to survive...
I look beyond the distractions and it's clear
there must be more to life than living out my years
I'm scared that what's behind the silence
is just the ringing in my ears
discomfort me a while, evolution takes time
I can't stop thinking of old friends and everything I wish I'd said
and what I'd say if I could now, and all I'd do if I knew how
what kind of human would I be in that parallel trajectory?
would you still see me as less? A monster in a party dress...
should I suspend the illusion for your sake?
God knows I've given more than I could take
but I'm afraid of your reaction to the face behind the veil
I look beyond the distractions and it's clear
there must be more to life than living out my years
I'm scared that what's behind the silence
is just the ringing in my ears
discomfort me a while, evolution takes time
discomfort me a while, evolution takes time
falling out of line...
bending like the light...
shadows on my x-ray eyes...
freight train inside my head, but momentum fails to manifest
if I'm a chorus, you're a verse - the anathema to my curse
come tomorrow, a reset, fall into the unmade bed
I remembered all my pills, I'm getting better, better still
Never Not Love You by JANE A NAOI
we drank hot chocolate, these days it's wine
relived the music one song at a time
I wore a pink shirt, and your eyes, your eyes said they liked it
but your words never dared to cross that line
red leather benches, a chill from the harbour mist
you offered your coat, I was angling for your arms, hoping for your kiss
I remember your hand in mine that time I held it to stay together in a crowd
it was just an excuse to touch you, feel the embers glow
and there are days I convince myself that I was the one who got away
and it's crazy, and a little sad if that turns out to be true
'cause I...will never not love you
there were the letters where your soul, your soul talked to mine
and we found all we ever hoped to find
you came when I called you, stood in the moonlight as I leaned across, too close
so close I could see the wanting in your eyes, and you could see the wanting in mine
and there are days when I can't decide if the love was only on one side
but I can't escape the inescapable truth
that I...will never not love you
but for every chance I gave you, there was always a line
and you would always stay on the other side
the day you finally showed your hand
it was holding the door the goodbye
now I can't change the unchangeable, make the untrue become true
and I...can never not love you
and there are days I convince myself that I was the one who got away
and it's crazy, and a little sad if that turns out to be true
'cause I...will never not love you
Angsty in Anstey by JHANA ALLAN
just a little way down the train line
a sickness comes from deep within
if I subscribe to this lie
I'll never see the other side
you put yourself into my hands
as tender as any seedling
and throwing caution to the wind
I threw it to the hard ground
oh darling, you're so bright
you're so bright, you're so bring
oh darling, you're so bright, you're so bright
oh darling, you're so bright
you're so bright, you're so bring
oh darling, you're so bright, you're so bright
and I don't know what's good for me
politics and poetry
the leaping train well it answers me
and cry-cries long into the night
oh darling, you're so bright
you're so bright, you're so bring
oh darling, you're so bright, you're so bright
oh darling, you're so bright
you're so bright, you're so bring
oh darling, you're so bright, you're so bright
and if you were a tree, I'd be the bark
if you were the sun, I'd be a spark
if you were an eagle, I'd be a lark
singing out my days
Not Real by BROOKIE GILLETT
the other night when we were at the Empress Pub
I stood behind your chair and listened to the hub
I don't usually see - you're taller than me
I say your bald patch has grown and I realised how time has flown...
when I was a child I had dark dreams that took my breath away
now I am grown, that threat returns, but now it's also in the day
the moaning of a wind surrounds my house, while in my bed I lay
tonight it seems so dark and old, how can I keep it all away
it's not real, it's not real, not real...
not real, not real, not real...
sleep beckons, I long to go, my mouth twists with disgust at my
own weakness, I haven't done anything at all
I know the tiredness heightens my own negative feelings
but there is something appealing in the darkness
it's not real, it's not real, not real...
not real, not real, not real...
these fantasies
they provide a place to be where everything in clean
these daydreams of you distract me from what's true
I recall uncomfortably it's the truth that sets you free
it's not real, it's not real, not real...
not real, not real, not real...
Woman in Love by MELISSA FRASER
I'm a sucker, I'm a fool
I let you break all of my rules
I let you see, I let you see, I let you see
I'm a woman in love
I follow you 'round, show the whole town
that you are mine, as though that you were
I cannot hide, I cannot hide, I cannot hide
I'm a woman in love
and with the music, we play along
completely uncertain of the words to the song
but it's better than silence, to settle for storms
to settle for longing, than to let you go, oh whoa
and so I wait in the bitter black night
I'm waiting for an appropriate time
but it never comes, it never comes, it never comes
to a woman in love
and with the music, we play along
completely uncertain of the words to the song
but it's better than silence, to settle for storms
to settle for longing, than to let you go
I've been a fool since you came along
and you'll keep on fooling me after you're gone
but it's better than silence, to settle for storms
to settle for longing than to let you go, oh whoa
I'm a woman in love
Young Minds by BELINDA DAY and Felicity Urquhart
lying in the grass making pictures in the sky
running in the yard to catch butterflies
making daisy chains for your Mama
when she's home from work
causing trouble with your brother
'cause he always has to get in first
laughter rings freely
life is so easy
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
safe where they belong
where they belong
a group of kids at school light their first cigarette
trying to look cool like they can handle it
then a fight breaks out and a crowd appears and it's on
and your brother's in the middle when the teacher comes along
and he's gone
covered in bruises
winners and losers
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
find where they belong
looking at the world with a child's mind
playing with the rules for their happiness you find
finished school and moved away and did your best
you're holding down a job and working at the rest
making daisy chains with your daughter in the afternoon
flicking tea towels in the evening
running around the room
laughter still ringing
circle keeps spinning and spinning...
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
safe where they belong
just young minds in young places
learning right from wrong
young minds with young faces
safe where they belong
where they belong
where they belong
Wayward by KATY WREN
wanna come over in the rain?
I will kiss you, it will be fun
you're like a court-jester in my heart
I don't even know why I came here
to this deserted palace place
the sand in my eyes stops me seeing
the wind over my words stops me bothering
to cry out, to cry why did I come here, oh why
and I like this distraction
but I'm not sure if it's my time
and how long can anything last
when you've had so much wine
it's as red as my blood
and the smile on my face
tells everybody where I've been
doesn't discriminate
for a wayward wolf like me
'til now it's always been the moon and me
just my moon over my only sea
and everything after dawn disappears
in the brightness of answered questions
and the billowing severity of details seen
where the blind see more than ones with sight can see
all the concrete could not hide their scrutiny
their broken dreams snowing
on my apartment window are cold
leaves me feeling dirty and old
and I like this distraction
but I'm not sure if it's my time
and how long can anything last
when you've had so much wine
it's as red as my blood
and the smile on my face
tells everybody where I've been
doesn't discriminate
for a wayward wolf like me
though I never thought I would find a place
for a wayward wolf like me
for a wayward wolf like me
for a wayward wolf like me
She by GOLDHEIST
sometimes when She comes in
She just sits quietly and bides her time
She's clever and strategic
and She always toes the party line
ooh just when I think I'm safe
She rushes in just like a hurricane
and when the storm is over
I feel temporarily insane
She says that She loves me
that it's all for the best
a rush of adrenaline
ice cold in my chest
help me to remember
that nothing stays the same
this time She can take the blame
sometimes She looks at you
and She can only see your faults, your flaws
She makes my stomach turn, She makes me cry
She makes me clench my jaw
ooh the honeymoon is over, She cries
it's time to cut and run
She leaves me to my solitude
but the damage is done
She says that She loves me
that it's all for the best
a rush of adrenaline
ice cold in my chest
help me to remember
the feel of sunlight's glow
sunshine that She has never known
She says that She loves me
that it's all for the best
a rush of adrenaline
ice cold in my chest
help me to remember
the feel of sunlight's glow
sunshine that She has never known
Wild Heart by JANE A NAOI
you are moonlight, you are the wild heart
I never know where you're going
but I follow, even afraid
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
you're the dream, you are the dreamer
I believe you, then I doubt you
but I never stop and turn back
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
you are starlight, you are the wild heart
when you're near me the world shimmers
and it calls me down in my soul
to follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
you are mystery, you are darkness
I run through your shadows
my heart racing with all of my fears
as I follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
I have wandered, I have strayed
my bed cannot be unmade
I know I cannot go back to the start
but even from afar
I'll always follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart
follow your wild heart...
Passenger by ANNA WEATHERUP
why have we fallen asleep at the wheel
let them come in and tell us what is real
we're drowned in apathy, and drained of our youth
while driving through darkness, seeking the truth
why can't we see we're in too deep
God, please wake us from this sleep
the world's slowly dying from a sickness we can cure
but we're so entertained, blinded and unsure
before we are lead down the path of our demise
we must fight for freedom, truth is our prize
why can't we see we're in too deep
God, please wake us from this sleep
why do I feel like a passenger?
lead by what is popular
how do I take back the wheel
and drive towards what is real
why can't we see we're in too deep
God, please wake us from this sleep
why can't we see we're in too deep
God, please wake us from this sleep
we must wake up, we're in too deep
we must wake up, we're in too deep
Red Desert Heart by AMY VEE
there's a place I long to go
where you turn on the radio
and get nothing but static
where the roads are narrow veins
coursing toward a red desert heart
and you allow yourself to cry
'cause out here tears dry before they hit the ground
and this endless open space
is the perfect hiding place from whatever gets you down
and you can give yourself permission to let go
stand up to your mind, sit with your demons
getting lost is your one-way ticket to home
take off
we will find a way to land
take off
we've horizons in our hands
take off
if you've got fire in your soul
take off
crash and burn, never learn until you let go
and you allow your bonds to break
surrender aching to the acres of nihility
it's an eviction of release, and absolution from the feeling
you're not worthy to just be
and you can let the chips fall wherever they may
submit to your fear, hang out your hang-ups
follow smoke and you might just burst into flames
take off
we will find a way to land
take off
we've horizons in our hands
take off
feel the fire in your soul
take off
crash and burn, never learn until you let go
