DEVIL OFF MY BACK Well I don’t know what its like to be alone So I fill up the space and block up the holes Turn the radio on, turn up the television This meaningless shit’s better than what I’m thinking Well I know what it’s like to lose someone It’s like walking around in a cloud of smoke Let the screen glow, let my eyes go bleary Real life just makes me weary I try to do better I try to work harder than that I try to live lighter I try to keep the devil of my back Well I hate what it’s like to watch you go When you’re swirling and whirling and dancing right out the door You’re a firefly; you’re a bright Red Robin I’m left behind praying I’m not forgotten I try to do better I try to work harder than that I try to live lighter I try to keep the devil of my back I try to do better I try to work harder than that I try to live lighter I try to keep the devil of my back At least I try Oh god, I try Like hell I try I try to do better I try to work harder than that I try to live lighter I try to keep the devil of my back I try to do better I try to work harder than that I try to live lighter I try to keep the devil of my back

IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT It doesn’t work like that Gamble with time You gotta just sit back And lose your mind There’s an ocean inside A perfect storm You know you gotta decide There’s only just one life It doesn’t work like It doesn’t work like that I’m so impatient sometimes I heard the old man cry Not enough time This sweet old life Me, I pick and squeeze Check my pulse and fidgeting I worry all the time Make a deal just to decide It doesn’t work like It doesn’t work like that It doesn’t work like It doesn’t work like that Show me how it really is Make my world delirious Show me how it really is It doesn’t work like It doesn’t work like that It doesn’t work like It doesn’t work like that It doesn’t work like (caught in the middle) It doesn’t work like that It doesn’t work like (you’ll never get it) It doesn’t work like that

Want it All 03:57
WANT IT ALL I want to live in the city so I can hit the town But I want to move to the country so I can settle down I don’t want to settle down just yet I’ve still got some crazy nights ahead But I want to settle down Someday, someday soon I want it all, I want it all I want to travel, see the world like a troubadour But I want to hold a steady job, be responsible I don’t want to live a life in debt To big men in suits who collect the rent But I want to show you That I can give just as I receive I want it all, I want it all I don’t want it all I want it all, I want it all I don’t want it all I want to really see you And you see me I want to know the universe And the secrets we keep I don’t want to possess you Shape you or stretch you I just want to see what you see I don’t want to be sorry Fearful or worried I just need to let it be I want it all, I want it all I don’t want it all I want it all, I want it all I don’t want it all

Don’t Let it Go (Sophie Klein & Belle Harvey) Caught in my throat I don’t know what to say I got a heavy heart A heavy load Mistake a falling leaf For a bird that soars I gotta give it time Let it breathe Bring it right back To where I need to be Don’t Let it Go There’s enough in here (so hold on) Driving alone I can show you more I want you to ride with me I’ve been unwise I’ve been so caught up Its been on your mind I’m feeling low The best thing for us is that you told me so I hear you now I make a change The future is gold And it starts today Nothing sweeter than driving With you right here next to me Roll the windows down, turn up the sound And roll on with me
5.
Coming Back for More You bring me down You lift me up again I wait around You keep me waiting You let me lead You leave me bleeding You hide inside Who knows what the fuck you’re feeling But like a moth to a flame Like a sparrow to a jet plane I just keep coming back for more You keep me up at night Wondering what you’re doing I have rings around my eyes From running rings around you But like a drunk with no one to blame Like a spider caught in a web of shame I just keep coming back for more But like a gambler to the game Like a wet dog standing out in the rain I just keep coming back for more I can’t keep coming back for more I won’t be coming back no more

MARRYING KIND When I knew you You were not the marrying kind In fact maybe once or twice I recall you said you don’t believe But we’re older now And I can’t claim to know you now How you think or how you sound Before you fall asleep Maybe I never did But I hope your days are brighter And your love is ever deeper And I hope she can provide you With every drop of sweetness Do you remember that time We walked through the city all night You waited til the morning light To kiss me like no one ever did It’s not that I would change a thing I’ve got my sweetheart Ive got my ring But that don’t keep my mind from wandering Down the corridors of love long gone Of love gone wrong But I hope your days are brighter And your love is ever deeper And I hope you can provider her With every drop of sweetness Seems the universe did a mighty job Of proving we could never win That two people from opposite sides of the world Yeah, the odds were firmly stacked against Yeah, the odds were firmly stacked against Yeah, the odds were firmly stacked against But I hope your days are brighter And your love is ever deeper And I hope she can provide you With every drop of sweetness But I hope your days are brighter And your love is ever deeper And I hope you can provider her With every drop of sweetness

Restless 04:22
Restless I’m tired of travelling But I don’t want to be still And life keeps rolling Like a stone up a hill And the better it is The harder it feels Like two steps forward In a black and white Slow motion film Can you hear me calling? I’m restless baby I’m waiting For you to just come on around I want to live For a long long time I wanna see the future And the past collide And there’s no space And there’s no time I’m floating away I’m breathless I’m restless to get it right Can you hear me calling? I’m restless baby I’m waiting For you to just come on around Can you hear me calling? I’m restless baby I’m waiting For you to just come on around Can you hear me calling? I’m restless baby I’m hungry, I’m tired / I’m restless, I’m wired I’m waiting For you to just come on around

Johanna 02:47
Johanna The house is a mess And the kids haven’t been fed It’s an orange brick suburban life Her ex -husband has a brand new wife Johanna don’t you weep Johanna’s losing sleep Johanna don’t you weep over him again The kids are off to school Don’t let the bullies rule The playground is the cruellest place It breaks her heart just to know what they face Johanna don’t you weep Johanna’s losing sleep Johanna don’t you weep over them again Johanna.. Johanna… Got these visions of this woman on my mind Her folks are getting old Dad’s just had another fall Her brother’s no use, he’s back in Broken Hill She’s gonna have to foot the hospital bill And Christmas is coming And the roads are insane Surely there’s some relief for all this burden and pain Johanna.. Johanna… Got these visions of this woman on my mind Johanna.. Johanna… Got these visions of this woman on my mind These visions of this woman on my mind

Mamma 02:47
Mamma Would you be proud of me If you knew who I am now All my love turned inside out And upside down Would you feel sad for me If you knew my inner deeds All the thoughts that run beneath And in between You don’t get anywhere Without a wing Without a prayer Mamma I’ll see you there Would you have hope for me Beyond the sorry dreams I keep Beyond the dirt and the concrete High above the trees Would you still know me If you saw me in the street If you reached out your hand Would I take it I’d never let it go You don’t get anywhere Without a wing Without a prayer Mamma I’ll see you there Mamma I’ll see you there You don’t get anywhere Without a wing Without a prayer Mamma I’ll see you there Mamma I’ll see you there Mamma I’ll see you there
