You wanna meet me for a coffee But that aint strong enough for me You know I won't be drinking coffee When you're sitting across from me You got you're skeleton in the closet You see him walking down the street But don't give me a reason Don't give me a reason Just move your head and move your feet And when you can see to the heavens And when you can't see to the stars You're not and angel or a devil You got the smoke but not the fire The devil doesn't need inviting To come a-walking out of hell You gotta keep him in the tomb But like the elephant in the room I'm the Invisible Man x 4 I said goddam I got my balls in my hand Hey hey The come to take me away They say in hell your is burning They say redemption's in the stars The evil doers get their medicine The good one's get a golden star That's why the sky is full of sparkles For all the lessons learned The angels flapping round in heaven An all the evil sinners burned And when you're tired of pretending To be all warm and safe in bed You take your chances with the city Go out and paint the town red And then you're hanging with the bent ones And all the ones that missed the boat You're not an angel or a vampire, you're not a demon or a ghost You're the invisible man x4 I said goddam I got my balls in my hand Hey hey The come to take me away

Subway 04:57
Oh let us take a long vacation My funny friend My one and only love Down to the subterranean station Under the world Under the world above For down in the subway's where we'll spend our time We'll work on creation as the trains go by.. And if they ask me what I'm thinking I say of you, my one and only.. Come see the view it's so provoking Come see the crowds, they flash before our eyes But from that life we are eloping We'll find a place, far from the endless cries We'll let go of trouble as the days go by And I'll promise to let go of my old ways, by and by And if they ask me what I'm thinking I say of you, my one and only love I'm just thinking, dreaming of you....

The Sun 05:12
Everyone's got memories Something old to remind them That they come from far away Far beyond the sea And mine is an empty horizon Enfolding the afternoon sun going down We watched and we saw as it sank into the sea Now I'm wondering why the dreams I've been having are haunted Why my sleep is a darkness that blackens out the sun But the sun comes up all over the world The sun comes up all over the world The sun comes up all over the world As the lights go down in Brooklyn Now I'm wondering why the dreams I've been having are haunted Why my sleep is a darkness that blackens out the sun But the sun comes up all over the world The sun comes up all over the world The sun comes up all over the world As the lights go down in Brooklyn

We're spending by the billions And dying by the millions But the companies are making squillions They're charging by the hour In The War Of Terror In The War Of Terror We terrify the oceans We terrify the birds We terrify the trees And terrify the world with words In The War Of Terror In The War Of Terror In The War Of Terror x2 I'm terrified of walking sown the street We terrify the kids to go to sleep But the terror seems to come in many forms and many ways I'm terrified of people that eat too much mayonaise In the war of terror We're terrified of Arabs but they're terrified of Jews So we've got the world in handcuffs We're tightening the screws in the war of terror In The War Of Terror And old man terror's got the whole world in his hands He's banking on a comback with the merchants in the stands In The War Of Terror In The War Of Terror x 2 Consume all that you can remains the rule And then complain about the rising cost of fuel But the rich don't want to send their sons to war Why send the rich when you can send the poor? To The War of Terror x 4

about

On The Stoop Sydney, Australia

Don't be fooled. Just when you thought it was safe to feel charmed by the lilt of a melody and the gentle wit of the words On the Stoop impales your ears with the unexpected. Sometimes the music hurtles at you with such velocity that you have to fight the urge to duck, but always the warmth, good humour and zany imagination draws you in again. ... more
