The Friends Of Rachel Worth

I've got tickets

To the best show in town

If you want to come on down and listen




I'm ready

And i might come along

With something that you've been missing




I've got no money

I've got nothing at all

But i'll keep you guessing

And i'm bound

To hit the wall

And i'll be running




I'm no trouble

I'm nothing like the trouble

That i used to be when i was somebody's double




Do you have any whisky?

I don't like to drink

But i like to know that's it's along there with me




There's nothing i've seen

That's ever really

Flattened me

And there's something

In the corner of your eye

That gets me

Yes there's something

But i know

You'll keep me guessing




So what do you say

Tell me what you're thinking of

Tell me what you're thinking of this minute




You're a spirit

You're one thing greater

Than all the things that you are together




You're one thing greater

Than all the things

You are together

He's got a four wheel drive that he takes to double island point

He's got a relationship with a woman that he met in an irish joint

I know the land

And the coloured sand

Everything's fresh at the source in this land

Everything's fresh at the source in this land




And i wish him luck

I hope he get's it right

As he lives my live




He's got a house all to himself that overlooks a park

He's got a piano all to himself that he plays after dark

I know the sound

As the sun goes down

Everything's fresh at the source as the sun goes down

Everything's fresh at the source as the sun goes down




And i wish him luck

I hope he get's it right

As he lives my life




And if you see him

Tell him i'll be him

As i live his life

We used to get our kicks reading surfing magazines

Some good looking people wearing

Lee cooper jeans

They're breaking on the headland, they're breaking on the shore

And when you're living in hawaii they're breaking at your door




We used to wet our fingers on surfing magazines

Going to throw school and follow those scenes

Going to get a kombi and go from beach to beach

Be the kind of people the authorities can't reach




We used to get our kicks reading surfing magazines

Wake up in the morning and the waves are clean

Standing on the headland taking in the scene

Just like they do it ... in surfing magazines

You sure gotta funny way

Of hanging on to the babylon

Of the always gone and getting it wrong

Because it makes no difference to anyone

That you had your fun in the burning sun

When you thought you'd won

And i like your weird way of drifting low

In the underflow, try letting go

And then you'll know

'cause sometimes change is a dirty word

When you're in the herd, yeah that's what i heard

Did your kitten purr?




You sure gotta funny way of hanging on

'cause i'm going blind

You sure got a funny way of hanging on

'cause i'm going blind




Midnight and hauntings and nights on the fly

Moonlight on moorings with you on my mind




If you go a little crazy when the light is black

Get on a different track, find out what you lack

And you'll make it back

And it sure seems strange here in hollywood

But i'm looking good, i'll put on my hood

And dream of birnam wood




You sure gotta funny way of hanging on

'cause i'm going blind

You sure got a funny way of hanging on

'cause i'm going blind

Diamonds on the water at five o'clock

Lovers lie around in tangled knots

Pulling your picture from a cardboard box

Forget you not, forget me not




I don't want to change a thing when there's magic

I don't want to change a thing when there's magic

In here, now the coast is clear

I got no time for fear




Time knocks you down like a rolling ball

In memory hall

Love leaves you clean like a waterfall

Then you hit a wall, hit a wall




I don't want to change a thing when there's magic

I don't want to change a thing when there's magic

In here, now the coast is clear

I got no time for fear
