Gone
I'm going west where strangers meet
where you can hear great music coming down Quay Street
and the girls come home with sand between their feet
why save it all up for tomorrow.
Sabrina and her friends were from Dingle bay
a couple from France were into Chardonnay
we saw a hundred pink houses but I'm sure we were sober
why save it all up for tomorrow.
Where the wind blows, you feel you could,
you feel you could follow.
It takes a few days to clear out the cobwebs
to get out of this town.
There's stuff back home that just ain't happening
I'm not part of that fussin' and flappin'.
I'm going west where strangers meet
where you can hear great music coming down Quay Street

No, no, no, no, no, no, no . . . .

we saw a hundred pink houses but I'm sure we were sober
why save it all up for tomorrow
and Oh Yeah, that song was taking us over.

T.V. Bag

T.V. Bag
It's never been hip and it never will, (my T.V. Bag)
The factory was shut down after the first rolled off the line
Machines were dismantled and the town was saved from (my T.V. Bag)
how my Auntie obtained this is in F.B.I. hands.
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
T.V. Bag
Jesus to the wise man didn't say 'is that a T.V. Bag?'
The Lord got gold, frankincense and myrrh for Christmas
All I got was beaten up for owning that T.V. Bag
But without such presents where is the joy of Christmas
Ho, ho, ho.
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
(ho, ho, ho)
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
T.V. Bag
Tossed into the box of unused family presents
along with Venom aftershave.
it was the pinnacle of tat for years with much ribbing
'have you a licence for that T.V. Bag!'
But over time relations bonded leaving me compelled
to write my last Will and pass on this T.V. Bag
for where's the joy of Christmas without such presents
now I bequeath to you this T.V. Bag
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
(ho, ho, ho)
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
(ho, ho, ho)
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
Well it's the stuff of which such presents are made
Well, it's the stuff

I'm bored
While I was sitting watching T.V.
some programme on Don Revie
I suddenly had a bout of reality.
I should do something more constructive
a little less destructive
an exercise in creativity
cause I'm bored, I'm bored
I'm chairman of the bored
I'm bored, I'm bored
So I picked up my guitar
played an E, an A and an F# barre
for about half an hour then I stole some literary junk
from America's original punk
now I'm free but I'm bored back watching the T.V
I'm bored, I'm bored
I'm chairman of the bored
I'm bored, I'm bored
Do, do, do, do, do . . . .
Chairman of the bored
I'm chairman, chairman of the bored
So, some friend called me on the phone
he said 'I'm bored and I'm all alone'
I said 'pick up your bass guitar, boy, and walk
round to my house and pretty soon
we got the gist of this stupid tune
now we're free, but we're bored back watching the T.V.
I'm bored, I'm bored
I'm chairman of the bored
I'm bored, I'm bored
Chairman of the bored
I'm chairman, chairman of the bored
Chairman of the bored
I'm chairman, chairman of the bored

Seven Nights
Three days and three nights she's been away
it's not right
four days and four nights call me anytime of the day
or the night
Some one will lose it, some will abuse it
some will turn to the booze or choose another side
No, no, no, no, no . . .
Five days and five nights maybe I should play the fool
it's not right
what do I do maybe I should play by the rules,
I just might
Some one will lose it, some will abuse it
some will turn to the booze or choose another side
No, no, no, no, no . . .
Six days and six nights she's been away
it's not right
seven days and seven nights call me any time of the day
or the night
Some one will lose it, some will abuse it
some will turn to the booze or choose another side
No, no, no, no, no . . .

Did I Deserve It
I waited forty two years to put the gutless back
into writing down all those don'ts
so I knew what I had to do
I was busy digging my grave when I found your treasure
Did I, did I, did I deserve it
Did I, did I, did I deserve it
Did I, did I, did I deserve it?
You were the reason a kingdom needs a queen
I couldn't lose you waited forty years too
I was afraid it wouldn't work so I joined a gym
to work off excess flabs of doubts
Did I, did I, did I deserve it
Did I, did I, did I deserve it
Did I, did I, did I deserve it?
Didn't you take this hand
the way you picked that flower
now dying in your hand,
dying in your hand.
It's not as if I was so offended
by rejection it was love and it ended
Did I, did I, did I deserve it
Did I, did I, did I deserve it
Did I, did I, did I deserve it?

Love, Despite What Happens
Love, despite what happens
and send the world your blessings
a sneeze can let loose germs
so keep you curses covered.
With white stones mark the days
that pass like skimming moments
keep vigilance you ways
and love, despite what happens.
Love, despite what happens
and send the world your blessings
a sneeze can let loose germs
so keep you curses covered.
With white stones mark the days
that pass like skimming moments
keep vigilance you ways
and love, despite what happens.
