1. _ Death-Defying
Ever since the world began
Men have sailed to foreign lands
And the fortunes that they've found
Are now buried in the ground.
Some would say the ocean roars
As it stumbles to the shore
But to me it only sings
Of the sorrow that it brings.
All my friends are dead
Or they're dying.
Empty laughter turns into crying.
It's death-defying.
Well, I barely learned to swim,
Just enough to save my skin.
Now I'll never sail alone,
And my harbour is my home.
All our friends are dead
Or they're dying,
And our laughter only turns into crying,
It's death-defying.
If there's one thing that I've learned,
It's the point of no return
And if that's to be our fate
Now's no time to hesitate.

2. _ I Hope You're Happy
I have a friend that's gone and joined some crazy new religion
He's so caught up that he don't know which way is up
You know the saying that there no saint like a former sinner
Well he's evangelizing everyone he meets
Including me
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
I hope it makes you, feel real good
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Even then you better, knock on wood
Yeah you better just, knock on wood
Another girl I know loves hanging with cosmetic surgeons
She's on a first name basis with a cutting edge
(Ah Aah Aaaaah) Now shes addicted to the thrill of multiple procedures
(Ah Aah Aaaaah) looks in the mirror and she doesn't see herself
But there's no one else
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
I hope it makes you feel real good
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Even then you better, knock on wood
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
I hope it makes you feel real good
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Even then you better, knock on wood
I'm telling you, knock on wood
My neighbours getting into transcendental meditation
He's found the inner piece that many of us seek
(Ah Aah Aaaaah) But I'm not cut out for that life of quiet contemplation
(Ah Aah Aaaaah) cause when I naval gaze I only turn up lindt
Well it makes you think
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
I hope it makes you feel real good
I hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Even then you better, knock on wood
Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Well I hope you feel real good
Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Even then you better, knock on wood
I want you to, knock on wood
Just let me be, understood
I wanna be, understood
Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness (witness, witness)
Witness, witness (witness, witness)
Can, I get a witness (can, I get a witness)
Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
Can I get a, witness, witness yeah, witness yeah
Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
I hope it makes you feel real good
Hope it makes you happy (hope it makes you happy)
Even then you better, knock on wood
Hope it makes you happy, happy
I want you to, I want you to, be happy
Are you happy? I hope you're happy

3. _ Axegrinder
My edge is keen and I've honed my skill.
I've got nerves of steel and an iron will.
My skin is bronze, my trim is chrome,
Climb aboard, I'll drive you home.
I'm a silver, tongued devil with a heart of gold,
When I was made they broke the mold.
My blood runs hot, like molten lead,
Pump you full, I'm gonna knock you dead.
I don't mince words, I spit 'em out.
I won't leave room for any doubt.
Get to the point, stop splitting hairs
That ain't getting either of us anywhere.
Sometimes it's better to be blunt
But is this some kind of publicity stunt?
So far you've whet my appetite,
Do you wanna grind with me tonight?
Axegrinder. I'm not famous for my tact.
Axegrinder. I've gotta sharpen up my act.
Axegrinder. Try and see things through my eyes.
Everything and everyone gets cut back down to size.
On the brink of who knows what?
We've gotta strike while the iron's hot.
L can hold your hand, try to guide you through
But I can't make your moves for you.
Swing my blade, that's how it's done.
Don't stop me now, I've only just begun.
I was told when I was young
I wouldn't work in an iron lung.
Now I've learned a trick of two.
I'm working up a sweat for you.

4. _ Waking Up Tired
Oh, the nights are long
And I'm so tired of waking up tired,
Man, they just drag on and on
And I'm so tired of waking up tired.
The company I'm keeping
Won't let me get my sleep in.
Oh, I hate the light
And I'm so tired of waking up tired.
The morning sun is getting way too bright
And I'm so tired of waking up tired.
If I was worth a fortune
I'd never leave my bedroom
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound.
Oh, I have to go
But I'm so tired of waking up tired.
The lights are on but there is no-one home
'Cause I´m so wired from waking up tired.
I need a month of Sundays
To help me cope with Mondays,
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound.
Blankets pulled up to my ears, safe and sound.
I need a good vacation
From too much recreation.
Oh, I'm late again
And I'm so tired, might even get fired.
I could blame it on a cancelled train
But I won´t try it, I know they won´t buy it.
If I was worth a fortune
I'd never leave my bedroom until next June!
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound.
Blankets pulled up to my ears, safe and sound.
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound.

5. _ Miss Freelove ‘69
You can't take me anywhere,
I'll strip down to my underwear
If you give me half a chance.
Hippy-freelove, outtasight!
I'm gonna turn off every light
And hold a private dance.
It started out one afternoon,
Hot sake in my living room
Among some special friends.
Soon some others dropped around
And we all started gaffing down, well,
You know how these things end!
Miss Freelove, Come back sometime-
Miss Freelove of '69.
Torches flashing sweaty passion,
Each made love in their own fashion
We had quite a ball!
Do the monkey, feeling funky,
I'm just like any disco junkie
And I don't care at all.
Maybe I'm not thinking straight,
I only know that it feels great
And I'm glad you do too.
It could be just a passing fad
But think about the fun we had
The last time you decided to pass through.
Miss Freelove, come back sometime
Miss Freelove of '69.
And everything is gone and far away
And everything is gone and that's OK
And everything is groovy, would you say?
Would you say?
Someone called the cops on us
They didn't have the heart to bust
The kinky scene they found.
They checked their badges at the door
And joined the action on the floor
(When they laid their nightsticks down!)
Miss Freelove...
La-la-la-la love
La-la-la-la love, Freelove!

7. _ Castles In the Air
Once I built a castle in the air,
A home for you and I-
In a blue, blue sky.
We'd leave behind the weight of worldly care,
I thought we could fly
We only had to try.
Ah, I had to learn fast, (For your own good)
I had to learn fast
And when I knew at last (You understood)
I knew at last
Hell and heaven can be one and the same,
If you don't know how
You should know by now,
Every pleasure always holds an equal amount of pain
But it all works out,
I have no doubt.
Ah, we had to learn fast, (For our own good)
We had to barn fast.
And when we knew at last (When we understood)
We knew at last
Every kite has got to have a string for it to fly
Up to who knows where ?
Castles in the air.
So there are strings attached to you and I
Though they hold us tight
We can take flight.

8. _ 1000 Miles Away
Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see.
I can see.
Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting tosleep,
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming aseat.
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away.
Thousand miles away.
Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up tobe.
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporatetree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say?
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very nextday.
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away.
Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to makesense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit onthe fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time foryesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away.
A thousand miles away.
What was that that you were trying to say ?
I guess I was a thousand miles away.
Sing it again.

9. _ When You Get To California
I used to think I was on my own.
I used to think I was fully grown.
Yeah well everyone thinks
They've got it down cold
And I guess I'm like everyone
But that was before I was unknown.
You'll know when you get to California.
Darling Clementine, it's a state of mind.
You'll now when you get to California.
Freedom's in the air. It's waiting there.
The life that I had back in New York
Was happy enough, or so I always thought.
Yeah, I made a new friend
Who opened my eyes
To what's inside of everyone and
Now I can see I was all talk.
You'll know when you get to California.
Darling Clementine, it's a state of mind.
You'll know when you get to California.
Freedom's in the air. It's waiting there.
You'll know when you get to California
And while the planets turn,
I'm gonna live and I'll learn

10. _ My Girl
Once a girl took my love until I couldn´t give anymore,
Then I tried to pretend no to see what I couldn´t ignore.
My girl don´t love me at all
Anymore.
I took her to the dance and then I didn´t see her all night.
Then a friend said he saw her with some other boy just outside.
When I went out she was alone.
She said, "I would like to go home"
I asked her, "Who were you with?"
She said, "No-one."
I could tell that she lied
(And a voice said inside)
My girl don´t love me at all
Anymore.
Not at all.

11. _ Like, Wow - Wipeout!
I kiss the ground on which you walk
I kiss the lips through which you talk
I kiss the city of New York
Where I first met you
You're my doll and don't forget it
'Cause I'm the guy who will regret it
I love you more than when I said it
When I first met you
I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
You'll never be a beauty queen
Won't feature in no magazine
But you're the best that's ever been
I'm glad that I met you
Take every day now as it comes
You take the cake, I'll keep the crumbs
I only hear the sound of drums in my heart
That I get you
I love the way you walk, you talk, you smile
Your style, your dress, your caress
Well, yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm impressed
And I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
I laid eyes on you, I laid my eyes on you

12. _ Bittersweet
You are my sword.
Your love is its own reward.
My heart, I have found,
Gets carved surely by the pound.
God knows. I tried,
Tried to hold you with all my might
But time has won,
And I could never be that strong.
(Don't cry) I couldn't be that strong,
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet,
It's always bittersweet.
I cut and I bleed.
You seem to find that so hard to believe!
That's just too, too bad.
You could never touch the love that we had.
(Don't cry) For the love we had,
(Don't cry) Sometimes we try to take it back.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Kiss my cheeks whenever we meet.
It's always bittersweet.
(Don't Cry) For a love-gone-wrong
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Kiss my eyes whenever we meet.
Anyway...
We've grown and times change.
When we meet now it feels so strange.
I hold you like a sword
You won't cut me like you did before.
It's always bittersweet.

13. _ What's My Scene?
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Oh, baby,
Tell me where have you been?
Now the stage is set
Where's my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe
My Midsummer Night's Dream?
What's my scene?
Like a talent scout
I'm always checking out new blood
Oh, I'd do good
If you tell me your game.
Playing Solitaire
Doesn't get me where you would
And, honey, you could
Play by any rules that you care to name.
What's my scene? (I gotta know)
They say, yeah, they say
Making love, you can make it pay.
They say, yeah, they say,
But we know there's a better way
Any day.
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Am I crazy
To believe in ideals?
I'm a betting man
But it's getting damn lonely.
Oh, honey, it only
I could be sure what I feel.
What's my scene? (I'm dying to know)
I'll never know.
Well, I concede
I've been caught in someone else's scene (but that's not me).
Where, oh where, oh where can my scene be?
Please answer - me
What's my ..?

15. _ Tojo
Tracy. Tracy was angry.
A bad mood.
I told her, "it's an ill wind
Blows no good."
(Then she told me:)
"Tojo never made it to Darwin."
I said, "Tracy, won't you listen - this is Christmas!
Don't you go."
She said, "David, I wouldn't miss this for the world but I
Got to blow."
(Then she said again:)
"Tojo never made it to Darwin."
Now she's gone, gone, gone
Just like the wind.
I just sigh,
But I'm dreaming that I'm gleaming
In her eye.
(But I'll always hear:)
"Tojo never made it to Darwin."
That year, Santa never came.

16. _ Right Time
Baby here we come,
We're gonna step on you,
Just stay out of our way now.
Listen we don't care,
Keep your business to yourself,
You've got too much to say now.
You are mine (you are mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time.
Baby we ain't sure,
That we like your attitude,
Don't you act like a child now.
We ain't here for long, ---
No mistakes for being rude,
Service me with a smile now.
You are mine (you are mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time.
Make a sign (make a sign),
Cross that line (anytime, anywhere)
There's no time like the right time
And that's now.
Baby watch your step,
Or we'll have to mess you up,
You better do what I say now,
We might live longer that way now.
But for what.
You are mine (yes you're mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time.
Make a sign (make a sign),
Cross that line (anywhere, anytime),
There's no time like the right time,
Like the right time,
Like the right time,
Like the right time.
Like the right time x6 till fade

17. _ Crackin’ Up
Ever since this troubled world began
Every woman and man,
Trying to find some purpose in their lives,
Some way to survive.
And I'm the same,
I'm not ashamed:
Riddle's my middle name.
I'm not a saint,
I've got no complaints:
There's a lot of worse things I ain't.
I'm crackin' up.
I'm crackin' up.
People wanna put their tag on you,
Define what you do,
And you might enjoy some small renown
But it's hard to live down.
Stuck in a mould,
Do what you're told,
A product that's bought and sold,
Made out of straw.
Sentenced before
The Court Of Unwritten Law.
I'm crackin' up.
I'm crackin' up.
I won't stand for it so I am
Crackin' up.
I've got no time for it so I am
Crackin' up.
Though I hide behind a cool facade
I can't drop my guard,
Almost made myself a nervous wreck
Keeping feelings in check.
You've gotta perform,
Stick to the norm,
Wishing you were never born.
You've gotta behave,
Facing looking brave,
And you'll dig yourself an early grave.

18. _ Come Anytime
What is it you want from me?
There isn´t much I will not do.
If it´s only company
You know, I might need that too.
Won´t you
Come anytime - I´m a man of leisure,
Come anytime, I await your pleasure.
There´s nothing new beneath the sun
We´ve butchered every sacred cow
Don´t tell me about all the things you might have done
Just tell me what are you doing now - right now.
Come anytime, I won´t give you pressure
Come anytime - I can wait forever
And if you can´t make up your mind
We could make it up together.
Things like this happen every day
Whatever happens, it´s O.K.
Why be afraid when we´ve got it made -
I´ll never ask you to explain.
What is it you want from me?
You won´t shock me easily.
Maybe it´s your heart´s desire,
Maybe it´s your wildest dream,
Maybe I´m a gun-for-hire but,
Baby, don´t we make quite a team, Don´t we?
Don´t we?
Come anytime (you´re so inclined) I won´t give you trouble
Come anytime (you´re going blind) or you´re seeing double
And I have never been the kind who´d want to
Burst your bubble.
Come anytime.

19. _ Good Times
You told me goodbye and I believed you.
Felt like I would die - I didn't need to
'Cause you came back to me
And everything's like it used to be.
All the good times we had we'll have again.
If your love is mine it will stand up
To the test of time. It will stand up.
It looked like we were through,
But in our heart of hearts we knew
The good times we had we'll have again.
And again.
Now I know you'll always be my friend
Til the end.
That means more to me than anything,
It's everything.
Who needs yesterday - that's far behind us
And memories only may serve to remind us
That what felt good before
Today we'll treasure so much more.
All the good times we had we'll have again.

20. _ Leilani
Somewhere on a South Pacific island
Sits a young man staring at the surf.
His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
A tribal sacrifice made to the earth.
She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue.
A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name.
She and her young man made a handsome two
But lava tore them both apart again.
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd say).
They were saving for a little hut,
She collected sea-shells every day.
Everynight they'd share a cigarette
But The ancient, angry gods got in the way.
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd plead).
(CEREMONY:)
Katoomba, Hey! Macumbah, Ho!
Umgawah! Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah...
Leilani - crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai
Aba-laba-laba, Hut!
Leilani-nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile
Aba-laba-laba Hut!
Umgawah!!!
Still the young man sits upon the beach,
He's staring misty-eyed out into space.
He's thinking about his girlfriend (of late, deceased),
At least her death had purpose; now his life is a waste!
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd beg her)
