I am just a weary traveller
Passing through the streets of your town
Pull into a little whisky bar
Make it a double
And drink it down
I saw a lady asking who I am
Now she’s coming up to me
You may refer to me as the Bedouin
Of the Fitzroy Evening
She looked me over and she crossed her legs
She saw me look and sipped on her straw
I took a drag just like DeNiro did
She flicked her hair and sipped some more
I saw a lady asking who I am
Now she’s coming up to me
You may refer to me as the Bedouin
Of the Fitzroy Evening

Crystallise

Before …. After
Summer …. Winter
Today …. Tonight
Vision …. No sight
Things are going down
Between you and me
Things start to crystallise
And I can see
Standing …. Sitting
You’re out …. You’re in
Too loud …. So quiet
Sunrise …. Midnight
Things are going down
Between you and me
Things start to crystallise
And I can see
Oh, I see you
You don’t see me
Oh, I see you
Yeah, yeah you
Honest …. Liar
Water …. Fire
Brutus …. Caesar
So close …. So far
Things are going down
Between you and me
Things start to crystallise
And I can see

Time With You
04:07
|

|
You can let yourself in through the backdoor if you like
Hang around, smoke a cigarette, maybe stay the night
Reminisce about the old days – stay up and watch Rage
‘Talk About the Passion’, ‘Hercules’, ‘One’ and ‘Rusty Cage’
I want, to spend some time
I just want, to spend some time with you
Let’s wake up slow and take the dog for a walk to the corner store
Buy a paper just for the classifieds – walk back to our door
Scour the musical instruments section for guitars
There’s a Tele going cheap – let’s drive there in our car
I want, to spend some time
I just want, to spend some time with you
Let’s pay the cash and drive it home, re-string and tune it up
Play along to favourite records, drink coffee buy the cup
It’s been great, I want to thankyou for spending this time with me
Next weekend could be good, yeah my calendar’s looking free
I want, to spend some time
I just want, to spend some time with you

Just a Dream
03:05
|

|
The bad dream you just had was a nightmare, not real
And the things that you saw were imaginary
All the monsters that came do not exist here
You're home, you're safe
It was a just a dream
Time to go back to sleep and to dream a good dream
The light will be on so you will not be afraid
Think of beautiful things like wide open fields
And now, sleep well
It was just a dream
I can see that you think that the bad dreams are real
But if you think of good thoughts, they might go away
And tomorrow will bring a happy new day
It's time to sleep
It was just a dream
I know that you are scared, I will hold you a while
And sing you a song I heard when I was a child
It does comfort me still, both day and by night
To sleep, in peace
It was just a dream
I will lay here with you, till you drift off to sleep
I will keep watch with vigil to make things alright
There is nothing to fear with me at your side
Rest now and sleep
It was just a dream

After the Fires
03:41
|

|
Catastrophic
They cannot stop it
Burning wild
Sometimes there are
Fires for us
Burning us
After the fires
We’ll start again
After the fires
Yeah
Many things are
Devastated
All seems lost
We are damaged
But we can manage
And move on
After the fires
We’ll start again
After the fires
Yeah

Somewhere Else
03:42

I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
You are far away
Yet somehow you are near to me
You keep me awake
When I’m trying to drift off to sleep
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
At night there’s a shaft of light
From the hallway through a crack in the door
The shape of it’s strange and weird
But I feel like I have seen it before
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else
I …
I … I wanna be
Somewhere else

Far away from the streets
Far away from the sea
Over the hills far away
You will come to a bend
In the road can you see
Where the hills roll so gentle and free
At the rolling hills of Callington
The rolling hills of Callington
Carved out of the rock
Is the road that does pass
Through the hills of that place so serene
Where the lambs and the sheep
Graze in silence and peace
As the sun gently falls on their fleece
At the rolling hills of Callington
The rolling hills of Callington
Come away with me now
Where the hills are so green
In the winter when rain has been good
And pretend that this place
In this time and this space
Is our home and retreat far away
At the rolling hills of Callington
The rolling hills of Callington
The rolling hills of Callington
The rolling hills of Callington

Decent Men
04:19
|
|||
|
There's a dog barking out back
There's a plane flying overhead
And in the room next door is a film I've seen twice before
All of it seems like it's always on repeat
I noticed when you were away
There's something that I want to say
The screaming girl over the street
I'm no man, when I fail to speak
Are you my Clementine?
I read her words and they read just fine
But decent men are nowhere near - around here
I noticed when you were away
There's something that I want to say
There's a monster in our house
There's a fist, the constant lurking threat
And in this 'happy home'
I scream sometimes, I feel all alone
Can anybody hear me out, in our street?
I noticed when you were away
There's something that I want to say
I noticed when you went away
There's something that I should have said
Decent men
Decent men
Decent men
Decent men

Not Very Much
03:21
|
|||
|
We don’t have much
In the way of
Material things
Someone told me once
You don’t need to be rich
To be queens and kings
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got – yeah
There is no sense
Buying things to love
To dread losing them
Let’s sell our things
And keep our thoughts, our hopes and dreams
Reset – and start again
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got
It’s not very much
But it seems like a lot
When I’m standing next to you
And see what we’ve got – yeah
