there’s a line on my shoulder
i don’t mind if you’d like to stare
‘cause i heard there’s trouble on the railway
and i don’t mind if you’re walking with him
there’s a song by my window
brought along by the trouble in you
for i know that all things were hurting
and i don’t mind if you’re talking to him
because you are strong i wish you had hope
to settle down
because you belong you keep your eyes open
for something
don’t you, don’t you want to bring your curtains down
don’t you don’t you want to burn it all
because you believe all of your systems
are caving
because of your grief nothing is sacred
it’s over
these words are not mine
these words are not mine now
looking at some thing
you’re kicking it over
all assistance its all a clover
think i know you and your courts are changing
all your records need rearranging
think i know you and your head is reeling
all assistance it seemed so right

sister knows
time to bring the widows down again
oh what a weekend
i was feeling a little strange
a little dim
i walked out i walked out
now i’m done with everything
now i’m done with everything
second row
i guess i got it wrong again
no-one here
seems to notice the empty light
the sorry din
i shot through i shot through
now i’m done with everything
now i’m done with everything
oh let them follow
time to put the hymn book down again
oh this hollow
cause now i’m naked and too aware
i stretched out i stretched out
now i’m done with everything
now i’m done with everything
now i’m done with everything

Fresh One (Live)

shuffle on in you better watch your mouth
i’ve got a feeling i’ve lost control
man needs a suit you better work it out
he’s got a feeling he’s lost control
here comes a fresh one
there’s no need to be afraid
i found it harder to listen
harder to run, but i got away,
‘cause you were hanging round today
you were hanging round
scuttle on home you better roll with it
i’m kind of worried i’m growing old
man needs a drink you better fetch his kit
he’s kind of worried he’s growing old
what if I gave it all up
what if I changed my name again
i found it harder to listen
harder to run, but i got away
‘cause you were hanging round today
you were hanging round
so when the time comes for killing
would you throw me a line
would you sit by the walls we made
and when the time calls for giving would you toss me aside
let the glories of your song remain
they will remain
they will remain
they will remain

don’t make a liar of me
don’t listen well ‘cause you were always on my knee
don’t sing all you can
all you receive is lying open on my hand
and there’s little inspiration
no room to fight
but i wanted to be there this time
‘cause i’ve got the devil on my shoulder
and there’s fire in my eyes
whose head will be heavy this time
as i’m swinging down with the misfits
and through greater glories now
all this all this is good
all you believed and all you never understood
you can know
all your pretense
and all your never letting go
and there’s little inspiration
no room to fight
but i wanted to be there this time
‘cause i’ve got the devil on my shoulder
and there’s fire in my eyes
whose head will be heavy this time
as i’m swinging down with the misfits
and through greater glories now
old man would look at my look at my
these days would look at my look at my
these days would look at my look at my whole life
and there’s something between
and its alright there’s something in between
old man when you kissed her
she didn’t seem to mind
and all of your horses tried

said you didn’t need no horses on the ground
no satellite to trace his little head
i stopped for a drink then i left without a sound
but the stories they followed me
someone stole the right words
to try and frighten me
come down i am sure, sure of who i am
‘cause the chorus is my sword
and the lightings in my hair
the seasons i recall
are the ones that i have shared
there’s violence in my heart
and i guess i had..
said you wanted more than stories in the sand
no heavy bellied caution around your neck
you loaded up the sick and cut your mother’s hand
scraped and washed her clean
someone stole the songbird
and tore it’s book from me
come down i am sure, sure of who i am
‘cause the chorus is my sword
and the lightings in my hair
the seasons i recall
are the one’s that i have shared
there’s violence in my heart
and i guess i had..

Lushington Hall (Live)

the servants you know are in song i don’t believe it
the brothers are christian boys don’t you believe it
because all of their games are of killing and pride
and you you’re helpless
the prefects were hanging beneath ready to beat me
they must have woken again i was hoping to leave
i know i’m on show i was caving again
must i stand here feeling foolish
fear was running down my leg and i wanted to kill him
the song was far from me and i got a stare
i know god is good he did nothing for me
except sit by the door and bury me in weakness
sorry days again
i got a letter from you….

Chorus Line (Live)
03:37
|

|
then i got lost and scared
because i don’t want to fight
these things were too much to bear
though nothing here is wrong
i’d sworn that all this had been
and along with the chorus line i sang for you and me
then i got up and ran
thought all this might belong
to the trouble and the worries at hand
if i had caused you doubt
don’t you know that i believe in these things
and along with the chorus line i prayed i could hear you sing
what’s outside your .. don’t let the rain in
you sang, you sang
with your bitter armies behind your eyes
on my shoulder, on my keychain
with your lightning sticks and your surprise
i’ve known this, yes i’ve known this
that the devil was tired but sure to begin
wanted to be sure of these things
thought you might be strong
didn’t know what the seasons would bring
if i had stolen south, i’d call it honest and say
and along with the chorus line i sang as you went away
what’s outside your .. don’t let the rain in

Fitzroy Strongman (Live)

feeling slim feeling old
cause these words i haven’t sold
set it out
say it clean and these bitter bitter leaves
are blowing in
bringing down this pretty useless town
it’s a useless town
don’t want to try
don’t want to listen now
i’d like to change you
i’d like to change you but lift you higher
cause there’s no
higher ground
there’s too much trouble here
i wish these days would leave this town
and I have brittle bones
i wear my shallow grin
and spread my wickedness around
quarter leg a quart of mace
is a measure of my taste
a taste of sin
a taste of ill and these bitter bitter pills
are flowing in
this is all
these relations on my wall
they’re on my floor
don’t want to turn
don’t want to turn on you
i’d like to break him
i’d like to break him but treat his bride
but there’s no
higher ground
there’s too much trouble here
i wish these days would leave this town
and i have brittle bones
i wear my shallow grin
and spread my wickedness around

Wedding Day (Live)
05:35
|

|
there’s blood on the toilet seat and heaven is coming down to hold me
there’s spit on the bathroom floor and i guess i should remove these clothes now
and try to sleep
cause you got a way
the way it turned on your wedding day
cause I was coming down
with fear in my heart i was coming down
so don’t mind me
don’t mind anyone
the plans you’ve made well they’ve turned cold
cause what you need is in my hair tonight
and i know yes i won’t let it
fall down
beneath you
something is wrong
i got a fresh one I got a new one
i’d like to wrap it round your head
i got a lowdown I gt a romance
i’d like to bust your weary legs
cause i noticed
and i won’t lose sight of this one
i know it’s late but i can still hear them fucking in the other room
my skin is pale and cold and all of my head is now on sale to you
you yes lonely sleep
cause you got a way
the way it turned on your wedding day
cause i was laying in
oh lord you know i was laying in
so don’t mind me
don’t mind anyone
the plans you’ve made well they’ve turned cold
cause what you need is in my hair tonight
and i know yes i won’t let it
fall down
beneath you
something is wrong
i got a fresh one i got a new one
i’d like to wrap it round your head
i got a lowdown i got a romance
i’d like to bust your weary legs
cause i noticed
and i won’t lose sight of this one
for the last one
won’t you notice me
on your wedding day
don’t you want to give me anything

the words i have tonight are nothing new
i’ve got a fever in my blood that keeps me warm
though the house is crowded there’s laughter here
but it’s much too close to feel at home
i had called to see what song you liked
what you’d like to hear before you go
but it’s quiet now and the laughter’s gone
and suddenly i feel alone
oh the halfside of my city sings
and the lord he took my strength from me
i guess i found the candle left her
and i thought i would come for thee
i would like to see you in the storm
and god he tore your hand from me
i’m lying open and my head is running free
i’ve got to know i’ve got to shoulder this one
the words i chose again are often used
for talk of trouble and all that came today
i’m so weighted down
by the thoughts that all you couldn’t say
when the autumn classes come to fight
i’ll hold back the tears that i have grown
‘cause this terrible thing is not moving on
and suddenly i feel alone
the halflight of my city brings
all of the colours that you left me
i guess i found another place down
and i thought i would come for free
i would like to see you in the trees
i’d call a forest to let you catch one
i’m lying open and my head is running free
i’ve got to know i’ve got to shoulder this one
i’ve got to know i’ve got to shoulder this one

Welcome Throw (Live)
06:02

hey there crispy older man
do you see anything that worries you
there’s an abscess but no scripture in your hand
not a bloody rag to cover you
said you need a ticket
‘cause you’re not on show
but the ticket man said he’s got to go
to find my disease
and test this carnival rain
it’s shifting through me again
though it’s been a fine time
to be with you
won’t you correct this frame
and it seemed to me as I fell down today
that I swallowed
i swallowed this thing alone
and it came to me through all you heavy days
that you wanted
you wanted to be alone
hey there do you see the younger man
would you share the things that came to you
there’s a recess but no anger in his hand
not a dirty man to comfort you
said you need forgiveness
it’s a welcome throw
but the ticket man says he’s got to know
where i’ve been called
and through what changes i’ve run
through indiscretions i’ve come
though it’s been a long time since i’ve seen you
won’t you come end this one
and it seemed to me as i fell down today
that i swallowed
i swallowed this thing alone
and it came to me through all you heavy days
that you wanted
you wanted to be alone

it seems my friends that all of my strength here
has gathered up and left me
all my heroes are hanging thin
they have burned
and turned forward to face me
all of these ends
seem to have little will little will to know thee
they have little skin to show
what they have earned
a chorus to awaken me
thought i’d seen heaven on the ground
and it seemed so far
it seemed so far below me
and it seemed so far
it seemed so far below me
old friend
i had so many things i wish i’d told you
so many brothers are calling in
what they had learned
before you went away from me
you went away from me
thought you’d seen heaven on the ground
and it seemed so far
it seemed so far below me
and it seemed so far
it seemed so far below me
|

well i’ve got weary legs now
these heavy days are taking hold
switch the firelight
don’t try to lay me down
‘cause i need to pray
‘cause i need to pray for better days now
well I’ve got better rosa
these welcome winds will bring me home
trade the lamplight
don’t try to turn me down
‘cause i need to pray
‘cause i need to pray for better days now
i have your word
‘cause you found hope in god
and you found a way to stand
but i know these words were never mine
these things are mine

because i like the place where the river’s brown
and the season’s kind to the weatherman
and the sunny days won’t break a record
and i wouldn’t want to leave this town
though i didn’t need the fever that you bring
so call inside i will make you see
that better sense is coming by
though the cast is full i’m ready to fall out
there’s resistance in the roadhouse
though distance was the reason that you bring
cast off your hand me downs
cause i’ve been told
no you’re never gonna get on your feet again
no your never gonna get on your feet again
i’ve been i’ve been
where your thoughts were holy
i’ve seen the common rain
I’ve known i’ve known
bitterness between you
but you found hope again
cast off your hand me downs
cause you’ve been told
no your never gonna get on your feet again
no your never gonna get on your feet again
