Old and Retired
(chorus)
I'm old and I'm retired
gonna drive the country side
at 80k's an hour
in my brand new 4 wheel drive
I've got a caravan and a colour TV
and a microwave to cook my tea
TV dinners and the nightly news
where ever I my be
I'll never get off the beaten track
coz highway one is where it's at
I can really slow things down
in the single lanes from town to town
coz I'm old and I'm retired
but before I am expired
there's a whole lot more drivers
I can drive completely wild
yes I'm old and I'm retired
gonna drive the country side
at 80k's an hour
in my brand new 4 wheel drive
In a state of joy
is how you'll find me
with 50 cars banked up behind me
smiling in my mirror
as I watch my tail grow
I'll ease off the accelerator
I'm gonna make those folks
just a little bit later
there's no need to hurry
they can take it nice and slow
(chorus)
I can hear the horns all blazing
coz it annoys them even more
that my 4 wheel drive looks like
it just drove off the showroom floor
but the best part of my day
is to drive those folks insane
when I speed up to a hundred
in the overtaking lane
(chorus)

Anger and Tools
Anger and tools
I've found that anger and tools don't mix
you're smashing it in and then the hammer slips
So if you want to express your rage
Do it in a well padded cage
I've found that animals can be good friends
But they don't like you tryin to eat them
So if you want your friends to live
Find an alternative
And if you're bound to something else
You have only bound yourself
If you're bound to something else
Love and truth are deeply entwined
everything else should be redefined
and if you want your love to grow
then you have got to bear your soul
you've got to bear your soul

Ngi Yarbornga
Ngi yarbornga gakulu wa ya ya yor
Ngi yarbornga gakulu se wa ya ya ya yor
Ngi yarbornga gakulu wa ya ya yor
Ngi yarbornga gakulu se wa ya ya ya yor
so many times I've turned to your light
but I don't appreciate you all of the time
but I have to thank you for all of my life
have to thank you coz you turned me around
so many times I'm lost in my life
I see the darkness but I cannot see the light
then when I'm feeling down
I thank you coz you turn me around
then when I'm feeling alright
and I forget to thank the light
you are so patient with me
you wait around just to help me see
Ngi yarbornga gakulu wa ya ya yor
Ngi yarbornga gakulu se wa ya ya ya yor
Ngi yarbornga gakulu wa ya ya yor
Ngi yarbornga gakulu means thank you very bigly in zulu

Little Things
I fell asleep and woke up in a daze
I've chased philosophies that took me
through a never ending maze
dropped a hot chip in my lap
and crashed the car
I take little things and go too far
I'm reeling from the feeling
that I'm living an illusion
and it wouldn't be the first time
I did something really stupid
will these actions and reactions ever end
you're still my friend
I tried to call you three times
but you didn't return my call
I thought that you must hate me
or it was something bad for sure
it turned out you'd just left it in the car
I take little things and go too far
I'm still reeling from the feeling
that I'm living an illusion
and it wouldn't be the first time
I went jumping to conclusions
will the actions and over reactions ever end?
you're still my friend

Community Live
As we try to scale down the walls
of our western ideals
look through the holes in our thoughts
and wonder how it feels
to know your neighbours
to know they're (their) family
to be a part of a greater
community
community
I see a difference
between you and i
i blame my culture
you are filled with pride
im sad for history
you have stories to tell
and im jealous of the smile
that holds you so well
that holds you so well
ive lost my culture lost my pride
ive lost a fire inside
its not good to be alone
its not so good to run and hide
i want to be a thread in the web
of hummanity
i just want to be a part of a greater
community

House n Home Live
in this house alone
what makes a house a home
it's love in the furniture
care taken with every painting on the wall
and there's a mess on the table where
you were sitting before
its makes this house a home
makes this house a home
make this house a home
so while you're splashing in the bath
and i'm stirring up the kitchen and then
you read them a story and i'm
pretending not to listen
but it draws me in
it draws me in
make this house a home
you make this house a home
in this house alone
what makes this house a home
it's your footsteps on the stairs
it's the struggle for the blanket every morn
it's your voices in my ears
but it's your hearts that keep me warm

Playground Live
my darling my sweet pea my angel
we're going to the playground
we're gonna walk along the river to the beach
we're going to the playground
we're gonna watch your brother do some crazy tricks
we're going to the playground
where we can chase some seagulls on the grass
we're going to the playground
we're gonna watch your brother running really fast
we're going to the playground
we're gonna walk along the river to the beach
we're going to the playground
if it's hot then we can get an icecream each
we're going to the playground
if it's cold we can put our beanies on
we're going to the playground
and if it' raining we'll find shelter from the storm
we're still going to the playground
