Not Without Your Love

Like summer rain you wash my thoughts clean
I am so free because you allow me to be
I stand beside you and you don't belittle me
nothing is trivial and secrets remain secret

Your love changes everything
it is a free gift for me
no matter what I do
I could never be without your love

Like a lovesong you take me higher
you give me great comfort, hope when I fall
you are aloof but never cold
in my darkest hour you pick me up, set me free

Your love changes all things
your love is sufficient for me
no matter what I do
without your love I could never be

Them Boots

Them boots were made for walking
until they melted in the heat
now I'm walking barefoot in the street

Them boots were made for stomping
until the dancefloor disappeared
now there are blisters on the souls of my feet

Them boots were made for kicking
until I couldn't kick no more
now I'm at the bottom of the ocean floor

Frivolously Deep

The mother thought
of father's good intention
in the sisters' mind
that the uncle mentioned
is the cousins intuition
of the aunty's insinuation

Simple playing field

Mosquito sucks your blood
freshly pierced ear gets infected
pepper dust brings tears
you sneeze three times
sinuses play havock
joints ache like you
got Ross River Fever
more likely Arthur Itis
earache indicates a weather change
ants carry eggs to higher ground
childrens' behaviour is ratty
there's static in the air
why's the traffic so loud today?
You wake up sweaty in the middle of the night
to the sound of thunder and torrential rain
shellbacks are annoying when you
weed the garden in the sring
sandflies make you shiver
larvea growing in the rainwater drum
frogs indicate the beginning of the wet season
mosqito sucks your blood

Angel in a Helicopter

I am playing ping pong with an angel
who rescued me from an axeman
I was sitting on a lamp post
crooning the blues
on my harmonica
Joe ballooned the bourbon
down below in the shadows
of his own imagination
whilst writing obscure lyricks
along visionary lines
when this axe man surfaced
from out of nowhere somehow
hacked into my lamp post
to decappetate the monster he only saw
but an angel in a helicopter
came to rescue me

You Found Me

I wasn't really looking
just doing my own thing
but you knew who I was turning into
and the direction of my life
I wasn't really searching
didn't really care
but you knew how to find me
you spoke into my heart
poked me prodded me
rekindled the eternal spark
a long time ago
you found me

Dark Side Beckons

Exitement awaits you
beyond your wildest imagination
to satisfy the lust of your wildest dreams
every sexual fantasy will be fulfilled
just let it all go
and folow me
quench my desire
drink snort shoot up
hell awaits you with open arms
as for me - I don't think so
I follow Jesus
am assured a place in heaven

She

Ever beside me
ever inside me
and when she's gone

I'll remember her
shifting restless in her seat
twitching her feet
sometimes in a mini skirt
sometimes in nothing at all
but a warmth
that only a soulmate
can give
fills my whole world
and when I'm gone

she'll still be
ever beside me
ever inside me

Paintball

Colour splatters
painfully on
rented overalls
adreneline rushes
as you aim for your
friends with
benevolent
intentions
this is where
war is fun
oddly enough

Fine Flags Fall

Like totems of an ancient land
where the summit conquers all
as the scales of justice
struggle to keep the status quo
the anvil of anger wages war thoughts
in an uneasy mood where
angst is marrooned on mossy memories
and London bridge lingers lower
but falls like in a fairy tale
in the confusion of the G 20 unrest.
