Autumn Bone :
Oh you know my love it grows, like an autumn bone.
Oh you know my love it grows, like an autumn bone.
Oh you know my love it grows, like an autumn bone,
And you're all alone.
Oh you know my love it grows, like an autumn bone,
And you're all alone.

Between The Tea And The Toast :
Oh pretty love, aren't you worried about us?
How we're going to keep it up,
all of this busy business?

Of all the days we've ever had,
it is these quiet days that leave me satisfied the most, when our holy ghosts
have room to dance
be

Big Man :
Big man - a holy tardis of silences
So wise you always know what not to say.
So much smarter that way
Big man - now how about the things you did not say?
Did you mean for them to come out that way?
Cause Big Man, I'm in pain.

My dreams blinded me
My dr

Buddy :
From my kitchen window, I spy Buddy.
Where did his mother go?
I wonder over tea and toast and honey,
It is 3am, he is in his PJ's talking to his cats again.
Oh Buddy.

They say that Buddy's lived in that house since '43.
Now that his mother's gone, Buddy neve

Divorcee By 23 :
Well it seems you've got a baby girl
to a man who will not love you well
and your walkin' down Brunswick street
and you're buyin' the baby's tears with treats

'cause you look perfect,
you look fine and you
hold it together most of the time,
but

Hair That Red :
My friend Nick was made up of coloured bits
That he shot to the stars and left in a trail
That was our friend Nick, who grinned like a lunatic
And talked like a bird, who knew all the old song words;
"He's a smoker, he's a joker, he's a midnight toker"
and

Homage To My Dad And The ABC :
Year was 19...1980...1985.
Me and my Dad (he's the only one I had),
We were driving beside...beside the ocean.
That man he would not swim.
Very few things kept him afloat.
He like to listen to the AB...to the ABC,
And their words became

Human Being :
Like a red light flashing,
like a message from the door of a shed
I have never before been in or entered.
Like a red light flashing at the door of a sin
I have never before been interested in.
Like a human being, like a human being
like a human being, i

I Am Not Allowed :
It doesn't matter how beautiful you look,
I am not allowed to read from stranger's books.
It doesn't matter how much you hold back in bait.
Still I'm not allowed. Nothing good could satiate.

I'm not goingto cry anymore,
flash "heart" like a road-works

I Love The Way You Talk :
I took my turn at the open mike,
Walked off high as a Chinese kite 'cause
one kind dude came up to say
I like it. What's your name?
He was Tom. He had a way.

I love the way you talk.
It makes no sense at all.

Well there and then I dec

I Thought You Were God :
Storeman, your eyes all watery white.
"Another long long night?" and you say
"Be careful riding that boy's bike in the dark."
"Don't worry, I'm not going far."

I was very very young and terribly in love
and not yet knowing that love alone may no

Awkward sighs awkward silence in a crimson room
Room that speaks to all the strangest thoughts
Thought I held you in my hand you were a horse
Show me something I don't notice all the little
Signs what don't kill me grows me wise now right
Now I'm telling you you might just mi

Lips Like Oranges :
Factory by five, and as the morning hits,
she's working a double-split shift,
the boss says "Hope you don't mind"
in a hand-written note placed in the lunchroom.

Leave Josie alone (you've got to leave that girl alone).
She did not ask for you.
Co

Little Black Cave :
I neatly fold our love in four,
I hug my mother, I bolt my door.
I go to find our love a little black cave
and dig it down deep and hope it will behave.

I would do anything for your love.
I would do anything for your love.
Yes I would do most any

Little Self Centred Queen :
Late night wedding bells and
all the world is quiet and asleep.
I don't know you that well and
you sure as hell do not know me.
I seem like a little self-centred Queen
but I need I need big love today.

Late night wedding bells and
we

Midnight Bird :
Hush hush have you heard?
Elenor's got a midnight bird.
Hush hush have you heard?
Elenor's got a midnight bird, oh yeah.
Hush hush have you heard?
Elenor's got a midnight bird, oh yeah.
And if you're very nice to her,
She might sing, oh yeah.

Monday Comes :
Monday comes and Wednesday flies,
cause on Saturday, yeah on Saturday I fly.
See you later, see you soon.
You said you'd wait and I do believe you.
C'mon, c'mon,

You - you were always there waiting waiting.
You - you were always there, and yes I do be

Ms. Unavailability (Oh! Temptation) :
You think I'm no good because I've got
A boy back at home who i happen to love.
Yes indeedy-dee i do.
What good does that make me to you?
Go ahead, call me friend if you like.
I'm not saying this is easy, pity me,
I'm unavailable

Old Joelene :
I built a riverboat for you, and called her Old Joelene for you.
And I sat in the bough of the boat and waited for a sign from you.
But the water said it could not find you.
You didn't come through.

Hah hoe hah hoe hoe hah hoe hoe hah hoe hoe
Old Joelene,

On This Side :
We were living in a treehouse
In the middle of the 'burbs.
We've got two kids now - he says he wants a third.
Well, I would give this man most anything he asks
'Cause I never did imagine,
How green grows the grass.

On this side, things they work diffe
