3. _ House of Cards
We knew when we began, it wouldn't last forever
But we always thought, somehow it would get better.
There should be love and affection, not rejection,
Love is the key I'm sure, to open every door.
But when love goes away, there's no foundation,
And no foundation of love means everything is loose above
Just another crazy scene, just another nightmare dream,
And it all falls down like a house of cards
And it all falls down like a house of cards
So stop those angry words, they don't prove a thing.
Just look around, and see the mess we're in
Every single day, you know I need you
I need the kind of love I can believe in
But when love goes astray, there's no foundation
And no foundation of love means everything is loose above
Just another crazy scene, just another nightmare dream
When it all falls down like a House of Cards.
And it all falls down like a House of Cards in the wind
It all falls down like a House of Cards falls down.
So stop! those angry words, they don't prove a thing.
Just look around, and see the mess we're in
Every single day, you know I need you
I need the kind of love I can believe in
But when love goes astray, there's no foundation
And no foundation of love means everything is loose above
Just another crazy scene, just another nightmare dream
It all falls down like a House of Cards
Yeah it all falls down like a House of Cards in the wind
It all falls down like a House of Cards

5. _ In Spite of Love
(G.Stapleton)
I keep a picture of you on my wall
Exactly why it's there I can't recall
I think I keep it to remind myself
That what we had was never very clear
I often wondered what it was I feared
But now I hardly think of you at all
Oh no but I climbed the walls
And kept alive
In spite of love
There was no reflection
The sun it was hidden
Behind the belief
That the world had stopped turning
And when the lovers meet as lovers do
These days I rarely even think of you
I turn the TV off and go to bed
Oh no but I climbed the walls
And kept alive
In spite of love
The summer was colder
By half than the winter
And only the calendar
Called it a liar
Oh no but I climbed the walls
And kept alive
In spite of love
There was no reflection
The sun it was hidden
Behind the belief
That the world had stopped turning

6. _ Gimme Some Lovin'
Well it's happening again, like I always thought it would
Madmen dancing in the street and fires rage.
And it's a strange infatuation taking off across the nations
Crazy dialling confrontation 'cause it's one more move and it's all over
Gimme some lovin', it's what I need
Gimme little lovin', makes me feel right
Gimme some lovin' that's the way
Gimme little lovin' makes me say
It's spreading everywhere, showing here and growing there
There's no time for condemnation ,just to wait.
And it's an eerie indication of things that's turning out to be
Destruction to distraction,
'Cause it's one more move and it's goodbye,
You know why we've got to say, just
Gimme some lovin' it's what I need
Gimme little lovin' makes me feel right
Gimme some lovin' that's the way
Gimme litlle lovin' makes me feel like
They fall, again, on the streets tonight.
And we're wakin' up every day , looking this way looking that way
Wondering who will come and end this game
Of one more move and it's all over
Gimme some lovin' it's what I need
Gimme little lovin' makes me feel right
Gimme some lovin' that's the way
Gimme some lovin' that's the way

7. _ Giver of Life
For what you value, for what you care,
Well it's a pressure situation
Life encountered from day today,
Uneasy feelings of uncertainty.
Back by the bywash, out in the open,
Floating down and around and through
A breath of air, the sound of light
Uplifting moments of emotion
The Giver of Life,
You are the Giver of Life.
For what you give now, for what you get
Well it's an endless spinning circle
There is no reason no right or wrong
Just a chord answering a call
Out on the inroads, back on the backtracks
Floating down and around and through
The cry of fire, the sway of soul
Uplifting moments of emotion
The Giver of Life,
You are the Giver of Life.
For what you count on for what you trust
Well it's a precious situation
Out in the cities, sold in the cellars
On the floor into the heart of clubland
The king of beat under the flashing lights
Uplifting moments of emotion
The Giver of Life,
The Giver of Life,
You are the Giver of Life.

9. _ Maybe I
When I see you, when I see the things you do
When I hear you, when I hear the things you say
I wonder what I'm doing here
Hanging on to what I know is going wrong
Maybe I'm intentionally blind
Maybe I'm wiser than I think
Maybe I'm intentionally blind
Is it history repeating itself?
Is it science, biology or something else?
That leads me down familiar streets
Ignoring warnings and the danger signs that I see
Maybe I'm intentionally blind
Maybe I'm wiser than I think
Maybe I'm intentionally blind
You tell me you're good for me
And believe me there's no other place I'd rather be
When I'm down and need someone to hold me tight
That's the moment that makes it all alright
Maybe I'm intentionally blind
Maybe I'm wiser than I think
Maybe I'm intentionally blind

10. _ Tree of Love
Every night when the sun goes down and cool air with calm surrounds
The silent garden in which can be found the tree of love
Every night you can find me there with sweating palms and matted hair
And drops of blood dot the sand everywhere under the tree of love
And you can hear them whispering under the tree of love
And you can see them - under the tree of love can be found every saint and every sinner
As they paw the desert ground for the fruit that falls each night from the tree of love
Some nights there are many there and murmurs fill the desert air
Odd and evens trying to make a pair under the tree of love
On and on as the darkness falls the wistful sound of the searchers calls
Are heard within and without the walls around the tree of love
And you can hear them talking under the tree of love
And you can see them - under the tree of love can be found every heel and every hero
As they scour the desert sands for the fruit that falls each night from the tree of love
Last night, before the end, I found myself under the tree again
The branches break as the bones they bend under the tree of love
And you can hear them shouting under the tree of love
And you can see them - under the tree of love can be found every saint and every sinner
As they search the desert ground for the fruit that falls each night from the tree of love
They paw the desert ground for the fruit that falls each night from the tree of love
They scour the ground for the fruit that falls each night from the tree of love
Under the tree of love you will find me waiting

12. _ American Money
"Is this what my life amounts to?"
Says the man with the carnation in his lapel,
"I didn't know it worked this way
I thought every dog had his day"
And he'd believed in the dream
He'd waited on every corner
But now forsaken he explains
It wasn't the temptation of a woman
It was American money
I tell you it made him what he is today
It was American money
He imagined stuffing pictures of Washington
In the pocket of his raincoat
"So where has my family gone to?"
Says the man
From the fortieth floor of his hotel
Well everybody has to pay
But maybe it's in different ways
'Cause he'd believed in the dream
Why he'd met it on every corner
But he never could explain
What could made a man lose his sense of decency
It was American money
I tell you it made him what he is today
It was American money
So don't underestimate the power of
The dollar in your pocket
American money
And there's pictures of Washington
Falling from his pockets
Now they got guns in outer space
And nobody's going to win that race
'Cause when there's nowhere left to hide
You won't be taking sides
Though you believed in the dream
And it was waiting on every corner
But now it's coming down around you
Like bankers jumping from the windows of Wall Street
American money
I tell you it made us what we are today
It was American money
So don't underestimate the power
Of the dollar in your pocket
American money
I tell you, made us what we are today
It was American money
We'd imagined stuffing pictures of Washington
In the pockets of our raincoats

14. _ Bigger They Are
Sunday morning and it's 10 am, the last day of the weekend again
Mow the lawn and read the papers, the afternoon game will be on the set
Sunday breakfast and an hour at church, I think I'll have a beer with the boys at lunch
Colourful shirts and colourful trousers, just the shot for a spot on the set
They don't worry about tomorrow, today's what counts and they're here today
Well I don't give a damn anyway, new gadgets and fashions of distraction
You know it was different in my day, quiet evenings at home with the family
The bigger they are the bigger they get.
Read the story now lots of adventure, follow the plot and it will take you away
Flashy fights and royal blue murder, anything to take your mind of today
I think I understand just what Sam said, when he said he's gonna live inside his head
Well, interesting facts and fascinating figures, the science of tomorrow is the pulp of today
And I don't find it all so amazing, loud and noisy and totally useless
Well I don't give a damn anyway, new gadgets and fashions of distraction
You know it was different in my day, quiet evenings at home with the family
The bigger they are the bigger they get.
Well I don't give a damn anyway, new gadgets and fashions of distraction
You know it was different in my day, quiet evenings at home with the family
The bigger they are the bigger they get.

15. _ To the North
To the north are the canefields, seas of waving green
And then the fires come, and burn the water
It's a sight to be seen
The men in slouch hats reap the harvest
Brown sticks they place in cages
And then the trains hiss, they carry bounty
From the furnace to the mill
Stick men silhouettes bend against the flame,
Shout above the crackle crunch.
Watch as the ground spits at the sky
A yellow-orange spit from a mouth that will never die

16. _ Ambulance Men
You know I drove home today, I saw the places I'd played
For hours in the sun, five on five, three on one
And the trees had all gone from the street with the school and the radio on
Replaced by arcades filled with people having fun
And just to see them they've got what they want
They've got a civic centre but best of the lot
You know what they've got?
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
And you know you could win
Every once in a while disaster falls on the town in the sun
When they sit down waiting for rain to come
Still, there's a pub to be found on every corner in town
Where there's boys in the bar and there's girls in the lounge rooms with their mums
And just to see them, they've got what they want
They've got a sporting complex but best of the lot
You know what they've got?
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
And you know you could win.
You know I drove home today, I saw the places I'd played
For hours in the sun, five on five, three on one
And the trees had all gone from the street with the school and the radio on
Replaced by arcades filled with people having fun
And just to see them they've got what they want
They've got a civic centre but best of the lot
You know what they've got?
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
And you know you could win

17. _ Distraction
So this is the house, the house that we built
So this is the car, the car that we bought
So these are the things, the things that money can buy
You say that you want them, well so doâ?¦
Oh what's this direction, oh darlin' anyway?
Cause for the things you want, there's a price to pay
Distraction, keeping you away from me
Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction, for a moment or a mile,
The days turn into weeks, the weeks keep turningâ?¦
I wake up, I walk around, remember what I'm doing here
I break down, I clean up, I make the bed we sleep in
You wake up, you walk around while I'm still sleeping
We're always in a hurry for love not money
And the line's always busy while we're trying to get through
Oh what's this direction, oh darlin' anyway?
Cause for the things you want, there's a price to pay
Distraction, keeping you away from me
Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction, for a moment or a mile,
The days turn into weeks, the weeks keep turningâ?¦
Distraction, keeping you away from me
Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction, keeping you away from me
Keeping me away from youâ?¦
