Melbourne 06:40
Melbourne Met her down in Melbourne, sometime ago She was living fast, I was moving slow. Met her at a hotel, owned by a woman in red, She was in need of a doctor but she didn’t have the bread Chorus Before you leave, say goodbye, Couldn’t go on living a lie I think about every time I see the sky So bye-bye baby, baby good bye We made love in the morning and in the shadow of storms You walls were peeling and your linen was torn. We made love until the day you turned the key You didn’t look back when you say goodbye to me Chorus Now it’s late in the evening and the guests have all gone I’m thinking ‘bout you baby and I’m thinking that it’s wrong I should sleep alone when winters in the trees I should be breaking in your loving arms like waves upon the seas Chorus x2

my music is daed It took a bullet in the head My drummers hands are still It was against his will my bass player's in jail i can't afford his bail My piano player is spent The trumpet player is bent The Fender twin is dead The roady's off his head The saxophone is broke The mixers had a stroke The thrill is gone The roadshow has moved on The promoters all left town Their neon sign fell down The punters stay at home The singer stands alone The riders drunk and gone The band will not go on Now young girl's like meat Pulse in the juicy heat They move in a trance Of sweet ignorance They will come undone Like homer's Paragon All that is made Soon withers and fades Like the set list on the floor Ain't there anymore I never cared until I saw that mansion on the hill credits

All Blues Singers are Liars Hey man I'm having an affair With beautiful woman with strawberry blond hair She's willing to do anything for me Like bang me on the bed-stead she won't let me be She work me in to a red hot fire But I wanna warn you, blues singers are liars I wanna tell you what you orta know Her fabled moves make the juices flow She never tires she goes on and on With her tinkling fingers And her tunnelling tongue She do it in the kitchen by the rotary drier Wanna warn you, blues singers are liars she's a sexual criminal and jail is waiting She's been found guilty of serial felting She screams and comes when I call her on the phone And commits atrocities while we're all alone She do it with noises you name the position To achieve world's best practice Is our stated mission We catalogue our sexual gluttony It's our contribution to posterity She pours hot fat on my flaming desire I wanna warn you, blues singers are liars

Certain Age 05:17
Certain Age When you get to a certain age You gotta do things right, You gotta go to work each day and come home sober each night When you get to a certain age. When you get to a certain age, Ya gotta stop smoking that dope Stop hanging around this dead-beat friends who've got no jobs no hope When ya get to a certain age When ya get to a certain age Ya stop driving that hotted-up Ford Ya gotta drive a family wagon with a sign, "baby on board" When ya get to a certain age When get to certain age You gotta ignore that girl across the street She might have long shiny legs and a body to make you weep But she's young and optimistic and all so very sweet…(you paedophilic creep) And your old and indifferent, you anin't no sexual athlete Cause you've reached a flaccid age

Pre-TV 04:08
I was born pre-tv…the rest of the song explains what that means... lyrics I was born, pre TV Heard Elvis baby from my momma's knee I was born pre-tv Ain’t as young as I used to be, But I can still see the wood from the trees Even though I got emphysema and creaky knees I was born pre TV AIN’T AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE . ----- You say you’re workin baby Working late at night, But you come home all messed up and you ain’t walkin’ right I’m gonna tell you one thing baby That you ortta know You gotta fly right baby Or you gotta go. I was born pre TV Heard Elvis from my mama’s knee Ain't as young as I used to be repeat second verse credits

about

On a July night in 2005 Jeff Burstin Bruce Haymes and myself assembled in a rehearsal studio at our then record company Sound Vault and recoded this album in front of a live audience. It was a great night, there were no over-dubs or digital manipulation. What is heard on the album is what the audience heard that night.
