I'm Not Him
03:13
|

|
No-one's watching, no-one's listening
You can just be the girl you used to be
Laugh so sweetly, fall completely
Don't have to guard yourself, it's only me
Can't scare me, so spare me
The speeches that you planned
Not lying, just trying
To make you understand
Drop your defenses, your pretenses
Don't have to find another clever thing to say
The ice is broken, so no more joking
I think you're funny but it's pushing me away

Cheeky Girl
03:15
|

|
I know a girl with a knack for foolin' around
I know a girl who can pick me up when I'm down
Oh my God, that grin
Look at the mess we're in
She'll get off scot-free
But where does that leave me?
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
There's an angel on her shoulder but the devil there is bolder
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine
Don't take offense, there's a twinkle there in her eye
Don't take her on, 'cause she'll eat you up if you try
She's playing the fool
And breaking all the rules
She'll flash those pearly whites
And everything's alright
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
There's an devil on her shoulder and she'll do just what he told 'er
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine
And I
Pick up the tab and I try
Vainly to half-justify
What she just said to that guy
And it's a pain
I just agree she's insane
She'll probably do it again
Still I know that I
Can't buy that kind of entertainment
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And if she's acting quiet there's about to be a riot
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
There's an angel on her shoulder, all he ever does is scold her
She's a cheeky girl, a cheeky girl
And she's mine

So Glad You're Here
03:18
|

Good morning my lovely!
How did you sleep last night?
Did you dream of beautiful things,
Or did monsters go bump in the night?
What can I get you for breakfast?
How 'bout we start with some toast?
And a cup o' tea for you and me
'Cause I know that's what you like the most
You know there's nowhere else I'd rather be
And I'm so glad I got you here with me.
What shall we do with the sunshine today?
Holding my hand, go for a stroll
Chasing our shadows, we run through the park
Top of the hill, then roll!
We're all out of breath but we want to keep going
Chasing each other on and on
Making the most of every moment
Til the last of the sunshine is gone
You know there's nowhere else I'd rather be
And I'm so glad I got you here with me
Pile up the pillows, unfold the spare mattress
Use every blanket to build up a fortress
Laugh 'til it's hurting from chasing each other
I'll play along if you don't tell your mother!
You know there's nowhere else I'd rather be
And I'm so glad I got you here with me
You know the night time will soon be upon us
Leaving only faded memories of this day
So help me make the most of what we've got together
And play
Good morning my lovely!
How did you sleep last night?
Did you dream of beautiful things,
Or did monsters go bump in the night?
You know there's nowhere else I'd rather be
And I'm so glad I've got you here with me.

First To Arrive
02:59
|
|||
|
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
Now I know that you're feelin' lonely
In the middle of a group of friends
And I know that you dream of someone
To stick by you to the end
Now you're searching high and low
In the bars and the hotels too
But did you ever think of looking
Right in front of you?
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
And he ain't sayin' nothing, he keep it up his sleeve
I know he may be shy, but if attitude is anything to go by
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
Who was the one
Who reassured you when you were down?
Never said a word,
But made an effort just to be around?
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
And he ain't sayin' nothing, he keep it up his sleeve
I know he may be shy, but if attitude is anything to go by
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
You want a proud an honest man
A fella who can stand by you
Well I don't know how you get so blind
But let me give a damn fool a clue
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
And he ain't sayin' nothing, he keep it up his sleeve
I know he ain't got style, but he'll do anything to make you smile
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
I know he may be shy, but if attitude is anything to go by
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave

You Walk Away
03:26
|
|||
|
I wish there was an easy way to keep you
I wish I didn't have to make you cry
I wish I didn't know your little secret
I wish that I could look you in the eye
I wish that I could treat you like a lady
I wish that I could hold you in my arms
I wish that I could tell you that I love you
I wish that I could never do you harm
But when I push you away (you hold me closer)
When I hang up the phone (you keep on calling)
And when I slam shut the door (you say you love me)
But when I turn to you, you walk away.
I wish your friends could see how much this hurts me
I wish they understood just what you need
I wish that they could know I'd die to keep you
And know I only follow where you lead

Steal Your Heart
04:08
|
|||
|
It's her intention, I believe
For me eternally to grieve
So I can never let her go.
So some excuse is always found
And then she'll come and track me down
To ask advice or say hello
She'll steal your heart, run into the crowd and nobody else will see.
You know the ones I pity most
Are those competing with her ghost
The girls who've given me a chance
To some I've given honesty
Because it's easier for me
To be the one to end the dance
Look in her eyes and you will find she's already miles away.
CHORUS:
(She's in control) She holds the cards, she is the hand behind the scenes
(She knows the game) She writes the rules, and knows exactly what I mean
When I say
I'm OK
And people think that I've moved on
'Cause all the outward signs are gone
And I have told them
I'm OK.

Miss The Rain
04:10
|
|||
|
Another year gone
And you're still in hiding
My only reminder's a hole in the door
And this dinner for one
So quiet alone
Without all the fighting
You'd think I'd be happy accepting surrender
And lying alone in the warmth of the sun
But I miss the rain running down your street
And I miss the taste of tears on your cheek
There's not a cloud in the sky
But this Earth's getting dry
And the sun's shining straight in my eye
I miss the rain in my life.
The party's at yours now
Seems I'm not invited
And now all the memories of long crowded showers
Need washing away
So I'm sitting alone
Avoiding the coffee
Trying to silence the feelings inside me that told me
To call you and beg you to stay
Still I dream of the day
When you fall back in my arms
Of mornings alone
Without phone cals or alarms
I've said my goodbyes
But you're always in my heart just the same
And I miss the rain

Living Enough
03:37
|
|||
|
Are you living enough in this time that you've got
Is this all that there is? Are you wondering what
You are missing?
Are you watching the sand as it falls through the glass
Not sure what went wrong, and nobody to ask
Who would listen?
(Listen to your heart)
'Cause your heart knows the answers, and you'll feel alive if you
(Listen to your heart)
'Cause your hert knows the truth that you're trying to hide
Is your day so full up of the meaningless things
Are you pulled back and forth on invisible strings
Held by others?
Do you crawl out of bed at the start of each day
Get back in at night, and you wished that you'd stayed
Undercover?
(Listen to your heart)
'Cause your heart knows the answers, and you'll feel alive if you
(Listen to your heart)
'Cause your hert knows the truth that you're trying to hide
Is your heart telling you that it's finally time
For a change, to move on, can you tell it's a sign?
Has the path that you're on reached the end of the line
But it's where to go next that you just can't define?
Are you comfortable sitting in silence, alone
Can you turn off the 'net, the TV and the phone
Your distractions?
Can you unhook yourself from the here and the now
To connect with your heart, is it telling you how
To take action?
(Listen to your heart)
'Cause your heart knows the answers, and you'll feel alive if you
(Listen to your heart)
'Cause your hert knows the truth that you're trying to hide

Hey I got an idea
Work it with me here
Act like you've never seen my face before
I'll be the doctor, you be the nurse
Take your clothes off, show me where it hurts
A close examination is required
I'll snap my glove on tight
Hey I got an idea
Travel with me here
Act like you've never seen my face before
You're a tourist and I'm from round here
You need d'irections, I got one right here
But you don't speak the language very well
So we'll play show and tell
Hey I got an idea
Let's get high in here
Act like you've never seen my face before
You're a hostess and I'm in first class
You bring my drink, I pat you on the ass
I'll meet you in the bathrooms on the right
We're mile-high tonight
Hey I got an idea
Educate me here
Act like you've never never seen my face before
I'm the teacher, you've been bad
And if you don't want me to tell your dad
There'll be extra oral testing after class
We'll stay here 'til you pass
Hey I got an idea
I'm feelin' holy here
Act like you've never seen my face before
I'll be the bishop, you be the nun
Come to confession, tell me what you've done
My child, you'll find salvation on your knees
Ten Hail Marys please

One Week At A Time
04:23
|

You tell me I spend too much time
Staring at my plasma screen
You tell me I'm wasting my life
But babe you gotta know I'm just supporting my team
You say I've got no time for you baby
I'm thoughtless, boring, insincere
You say that my whole life's just about the footy
But baby, that's just six months of the year
So quickly, while the ads are on, I know that you're upset
Before you roll your eyes and start to sigh
When summer comes I swear you'll mean the world to me again
And this is what I'm willing to supply:
I'll give a hundred and ten percent
And I'll come out fighting
To conquer this re-building stage we're in
I'll give a hundred and ten percent
And I'll never stop fighting
'Cause babe you know that I came here to win
And if we are still to be here in September
And get ourselves back over that white line
We've gotta pull our fingers out and win the one-percenters
And take it, baby, one week at a time.
You tell me I spend so much time
Making so much bloody noise
And you tell me I'm wasting my life
But babe you've got to know I'm just supporting my team
I know I'm not centimetre-perfect
A long way from your fairytale dream
But wait a sec before you go point the finger
Remember that there's no 'I' in team
Remember what the counsellor said when we saw him that time
About trying to make things fresh and fun and warm?
Let's have heritage round every second Sunday of the month
So you can wear your old school uniform
And give a hundred and ten percent
And we'll come out fighting
To conquer this re-building stage we're in
We'll give a hundred and ten percent
And we'll never stop fighting
'Cause babe you know that I came here to win
And if we are still to be here in September
And get ourselves back over that white line
We've gotta pull our fingers out and win the one-percenters
And take it, baby, one week at a time.

Singing In My Underpants
06:05
|

|
Well it's far too God-damned hot in this studio
And I ain't got nowhere cooler for me to go
And the sweat is rollin' down my back
And it's pooling in my crack
Hope those squelchy sounds don't make it to the radio
Now I've known these boysa around me for many years
And between us all we've sunk a lot of beers
But my situation's getting hairy
So I might do something scary
Gonna drop my dacks and hope it doesn't end in tears
That's why I'm
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
And don't it feel good
Now Robbie likes boxer shorts, but they're not for me
'Cause my boys get too excited when they're swingin' free
And the thought of static shock
Anywhere near my... jock?
Is a most unpleasant liability
That's why I'm
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
And don't it feel good
The Colonel likes his freedom through and through
So 'commando' is the style that he's into
Give him jocks and he'll say "Shove it
I'm out there and I love it!
And there ain't no way I'm gonna change for you!"
I guess he's
Singin' in no underpants
Singin' in no underpants
Swingin' in no underpants
But he says it feels good
Now Roy gets all his undies customised
When he takes them off, you're in for a big surprise
'Cause I swear it ain't no bull:
"I got fourteen testicles
And that's why you never hear me singin' high!"
That's why he's
Singin' in his underpants
Singin' in his underpants
It's getting crowded in his underpants
But he says it feels good
One more time, don't you wish you were
Singin' in your underpants
Singin' in your underpants
Singin' in your underpants
And don't it feel good
OUTTRO
