The wisdom of a man too confused to hold his frown
Archaic views slow me down
and the indoctrinated youth of this broken town
Too slow before it's started
That life just ain't for me
Somebodies money in his pocket
Ain't saying he's a wanted man
but there's a gun in his hand
cause he's an honest chap
When there's a clash of culture
His boy's fed to the vultures
now he doesn't wanna go back
In this frame of mind
we feel eachother's hurt
But you, son
You got yourself a problem if you like trousers
and not a bit of skirt.
Too slow before it's started
That life just ain't for me
Somebodies money is in your pocket
And on a holy throne they sit, cherishing their ways
days of old, tales of past and from their perch cannot be swayed
In thy kingdom there is freedom and the time is ever present
to resist the bold romance of the fate that we endeavored
Too slow before it's started
That life just ain't for me
Somebodies money is in your pocket

If Only You Knew
Thought I'd seen lightning in a loaded gun
Fought off the violence 'til the colours run
And you hope that they heard you pray
Cause it's best that this goes away
And if only you knew
Yeah if only you knew
The fallout reminds me I'm a broken soul
If all this is timing, who's in control?
With all due respect it'll break your heart
You'll only regret when it falls apart
And if only you knew
Yeah if only you knew
Though I'd seen lightning in a loaded gun
Fought off the violence 'til the colours run
And if only you knew
Oh if only you knew
Yeah if only you knew
If only you, if only you
If only you knew

Dancing two step Sally
on a Saturday night
She put down the phone
cause she wanted to fight
She said
that she wants to go home wasted
So we brought back a bottle
and we swallowed a few gulps
Asked me for a borrow
She wanted to have some fun
We rang the guy I know
Throw me a beer
Let's watch the world pass us by
Oh it was on the night
That you held me for the first and the only time
Then she told a lie
She said I got a good idea
For me and you to disappear
Dancing two step sally
It's the time of your life
Won't put down the phone
'til the angle's right
She said
that she wants to go home wasted
So we knocked back a bottle
and a voddy or two
Went on 'til the morning
cause she wanted to have some fun
with the only guy she knows
Then she pulled me near
and whispered words I'd been meaning to hear
(you gotta tell me)
Oh it was on the night
That you held me for the first and the only time
Then she told her lie
She said I got a good idea
For me and you to disappear
When will I see you again?
She said just ring me at ten
So I gave her a bell
and said I'd call her witheld
I didn't want this to end
I didn't want this to end
It was on the night
It was on the night

Fate of Home
a lonely foreman on a short shift
unwatered grain
in my mind i'm californian withstanding the rain
its in his eyes
the same routine
view from his castle is a one way street
no throne
no throne
she said she wants a better future
it’s easy to tell
a master of the kama sutra
he's under your spell
but with a sigh
the days turn weeks
same old place and a few dirty sheets
alone
alone
we're castaway
dreaming of a million miles away
we don't wanna stay
but how do we escape the fate of home?
his teacher tells him a short story
loaded with crime
but hes got no money in his pocket
a buck ninety-nine
so in a daze that boy turns thief
but he buys a cell
and his dreams they turn to stone
oh no
we're castaway
dreaming of a million miles away
we don't wanna stay
but how do we escape the fate of home?
she wants a future for her daughter
forever she’d ask
but that little girl has her fortune dictated by past
we're castaway
dreaming of a million miles away
we don't wanna stay
but how do we escape the fate of home?
(home x4)
