Come Dance With Me

Hope you had a good day
playing in the sun
cocktails at seven
for everyone
I'll wear my best tuxedo
you your little black dress
we'll sip away while the music plays
watch the sun set across Byron Bay
I hear you say
Come dance with me x4
Make our way to the table
set for two
the candle-light flickers
I drink to you
I hear a flutter
our hearts are true
we'll sip away while the music plays
watch the sun set across Byron Bay
I hear you say
Come dance with me x4
Now that you're holding my hand (dance with me)
gliding the floor to that musical score (dance with me)
doing that dance of romance (dance with me)
losing ourselves in that mystical trance
Come dance with me (dance with me, dance with me) x4
Come dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me x6
Oh yeah

Mary May

Mary May, Mary do, I just wanna go to bed with you
Mary May, Mary might, grace the covers in my room tonight
She's no angel but I love the way she, smiles within her world
She's no angel but I love the way she, makes me feel so wild
She's no angel but I love the way she, looks upon each day and takes it as it comes
She's no angel, but I want her by my side
Mary May, Mary glides, and moves towards me in her dress of smiles
Mary May, Mary sighs, I love you lover that I can't deny
Mary May, Mary laughs, we can't fight it cause the die is cast
Mary May, Mary cries, she can't hide the sound when lovers fly
She's no angel but I love the way she, smiles within her world
She's no angel but I love the way she, makes me feel so wild
She's no angel but I love the way she, looks upon each day and takes it as it comes
She's no angel, but I want her by my side
Mary May, Mary seeks, to love forever but the flesh is weak
Mary May, Mary sleeps, and dreams a dream where true love meets
Mary May, Mary wakes, the time has come to where her husband waits
Mary May, Mary leaves, until next time our hearts will grieve
She's no angel but I love the way she, smiles within her world
She's no angel but I love the way she, makes me feel so wild
She's no angel but I love the way she, looks upon each day and takes it as it comes
She's no angel, but I want her by my side

Dreams made in heaven
are like raindrops, in the sun
that stay with you forever
when the morning comes x4
Imagine we're together
in a world where, love belongs
and you're never, ever, ever
without a song, in your heart
that's
when the morning comes x4
I'm gonna sing it till the sun don't shine
I'm gonna, sing my way through time
I'm gonna sing till that light shines on you and me
when the morning comes x4
Now let's dream we, write a movie
and our shadows, play the scenes
and all the world, has been put right
that's
when the morning comes x4
I'm gonna sing it out real loud now
I'm gone sing it out real strong
I'm gonna sing out for everyone
when the morning comes x4

Paint My Picture
05:57
|

|
When you paint my picture, please, paint me with a smile
I might be hanging on your wall, for a little while
When you paint my picture, please, paint me with a tan
I like to look my best, the, very best I can
When you paint my picture, show me, show me all my faults
If you can't tell me them, I'll stay really lost
When you paint my picture, show me, show me all the lines
they're a reminder of, all those happy times
You can fill my eyes with joy, if you, see that as the truth
You can fill my eyes with peace, if you, see that in my heart
You can fill my eyes with love, the love I have for you
love I have for you
When you paint my picture, you might catch, catch some essence of me, I'l give it to you no charge at all, cause it comes for free
When you paint my picture, you might catch, catch some of my heart,
when you're holding that, we'll, never be apart
When you paint my picture, add, add some mystery
cause without that, I'd be you and you'd be me
When you paint my picture, add some philosophy
it goes like this, "Don't Be, just be"
You can fill my eyes with joy, if you, see that as the truth
You can fill my eyes with peace, if you, see that in my heart
You can fill my eyes with love, the love I have for you
love I have for you, you
love I have for you
love I have for you
you

Here Come The Pokies
03:29
|
|||
|
Here come the pokies, they're gonna make me rich
I'm gonna make a fortune, really, really quick
They're really super, duper fun if you play them everyday
and you know you're on your way when your eyes
….begin to glaze
Drop those coins into the slots, you can change your notes for lots
It's such an enormous thrill, paying casino bills
It's so good for your mind, pushing buttons all the time
after time, after time, after time
….after time
I must be doing well, I won the big one once
that was 20 years ago and today I'll do it after lunch
If I play that same machine every day of my life
for only six hours a day gives me respite
….from the kids and wife
The odds are in my favour, that wheel's spun 10,000 turns
and paid me out at least 10% of the money that I've burned
that's no great crime cause I can borrow anytime
and if I steal from my friends and family, I just say
….the pokies robbed you blind
(those pokies will rob you blind, stay away from 'em mate)
now I've lost my house and home, my good wife and my kids
and I'm living in a shelter on the grog and on the skids
If I had my time again, I'd say to those who stare
help ban those bloody pokies
….or don't you care
I thank you Andrew Wilkie, you're just doing fine
to push those vested interests back to the primordial slime
you've shown you're full of courage, to stand up as a man
to make your mark in history to help those pokies
….to get canned
As for the spineless, whimpering politicians who are lame
there's something missing from your soul when you play the numbers game
a vote or two or three from an industry of stealth
with millions in their buckets, its of no use
….no use in hell
Here come the pokies, they're gonna make me rich
I'm gonna win a fortune, really, really, really, really, really, really quick
(those pokies will rob you blind, you be careful now)

Hold me tight tonight I had my face turned towards the sun
Hold me tight tonight, I got a feeling that my race has just been won
Hold my hand, if you like, tonight
close your eyes, its alright, tonight
you can sing along with the band, tonight
you can dance like the fire, tonight
I wanna run a race, I can win
find love in the ocean, and swim
I wanna dance with you till its a carnal sin
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
You can move your body you can dance your fantasy
a little jump to the left, and your head goes between your knees
a little jump to the right, and you can, feel the heat
start all over again come on and
keep that beat
keep that beat
keep that beat baby
keep that beat
I wanna run a race, I can win
find love in the ocean, and swim
I wanna dance with you till its a carnal sin
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Wanna dance with you till its a carnal sin x3
I wanna run a race, I can win
find love in the ocean, and swim
I wanna dance with you till its a carnal sin
oh yes please, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

Love Never Changes

As sure as the moon rises, high above the sea
and as sure, as the sun, shines on us, they'll be you and me
you see nothing, no nothing
nothing, in this world, no nothing
nothing, you can imagine
not anything
is gonna change our love
love never changes, so nothing is going to change our love
love never changes, so nothing is going to change our love
As sure as the winds, blow us, to our destiny
and as sure, as our children, follow us, into history
and as sure, as those angels sing, head for victory
and as sure, as your God, knows, what's in your heart, sets you free
you see nothing, no nothing
nothing, in this world, no nothing
nothing, you can imagine
not anything
is gonna change our love
love never changes, so nothing is going to change our love
love never changes, so nothing is going to change our love

The Messenger

In my dream this morning, I had a drink with a messenger
He asked how you're going, and said, you can call me Sir
I looked him squarely in the eye, to reply all you want is war
Dance your way to victory I said, to be sure
Dance your way to victory, my friends
Dance your way to victory, my friends
In my dream this morning, I had a drink with a messenger
He asked what would time be I asked back what's that for
It's just to place you in a coffin, whilst you knock upon Heaven's door
and make you think life's rotten, like the earth, down to the core.
So dance your way to victory my friends
Dance away to victory my friends
Dance away to victory
Dance away to victory
Dance away, dance away my friends.
In my dream this morning, I had a drink with a messenger
He asked why do you keep working your life away when, you know there is more
I must reply to you honestly, as I try to always do
That's one for the Gods I suppose and, not me and you
That's one for the Gods I suppose and, not me and you
So dance your way to victory my friends
Dance your way to victory my friends
Dance away to victory
Dance away to victory
Dance away, dance away my friends.
Dance away, dance away, dance away, my friends
now I want you to be honest
you've just go to promise
be true to yourself
my friends

Holy Night
04:44
|
|||
|
Its a, lonely eve upon the plains red cloud, passing by
sink my tongue into a bottle of rum and let the, pain inside me die
on this, Holy night, let me pay for my, indiscretions, Holy night
As that crescent moon shone light, a star burst across the sky that night
it read, rest assured for peace and love to stay, the only thing to do is hope, and pray
on this, Holy night, let me pay for my, indiscretions, Holy night
Come set me free, come wipe this, palette clean please
Come set me free, come set me free
We breathe the air of ages gone sometimes stumble, as we sing our song
so, take the time to, right the wrong cause, in a breath life could, be gone
on this, Holy night, let me pay for my, indiscretions, Holy night
Come set me free, come wipe, this, palette clean please
Come set me free, come set me free, free, free, free, free at last.

Just A Moment's Sanity
05:55
|
|||
|
Oh there was, just a little circumstance, beyond my control
A ball and chain around my neck, made me go real slow
I just wanted to be in the sunshine on those rainy days
to be in the light, and not the, darkened haze.
O give me, just a moment's sanity, amongst the madding crowd
just a minute's silence, before it, it gets too loud
Let me walk on down the street, of earthly delights
Christmas spirit everyday and, making love at night
Let me play in the playground of, Heaven's intent
you know the one, good food, clean air, clean water and where I've finished, paying the rent
O give me, just a moment's sanity, amongst the madding crowd
just a minute's silence, before it, it gets too loud
Let me walk upon the shore, know when to make a stand
To know that I've tried my best to, call myself a man
And then to give thanks, to the one above
be that Moses, Mohammed, Buddha or Jesus, or some other, who knows Love
O give me, just a moment's sanity, amongst the madding crowd
just a minute's silence, before it, it gets too loud
So when its time to rest my head, amongst the dirt and stone
I'll send my body back to mother earth, cause that's from whence its come
set my spirit free, and hey I'll just go surf around that galaxy
for me to be born again, born again as me
O give me, just a moment's sanity, amongst the madding crowd
just a minute's silence, before it, it gets, way, way, way, too loud.

Freedom For Everyone by Kim Imber © 2015
There's no room for you, they say we're full this week
but I know there's room a plenty right across from main street
we can even pay for you to stay awhile
because our love is like an endless smile
CHORUS
Hold on,
hold on to that dream
stay strong
we sing your song
freedom for everyone
When you fall, we'll be there for you
we've got plenty of everything, to share, its true
when you stand tall, we'll bathe in your delight
cause your love too will be shining bright
REPEAT CHORUS
This will be a memory to keep
for an eternity
so next time when its my turn to weep
Oh I pray you'll be there for me
REPEAT CHORUS
we sing your song, freedom for everyone
Freedom for everyone, Freedom for everyone, Freedom for everyone
Freedom for everyone, Freedom for everyone, Freedom for everyone
Freedom now, freedom now
