VERSE 1
Love to come to your place baby,
Love to help you out,
Love to come to your place baby,
Help you sing and shout,
Love to come to your place baby,
Really love to help you out,
Before I can do that,
I gotta get off my couch,
Get off my couch.
(Argh. Oh, hi darling, ah can I get you to help me,
I'm stuck on my couch, ah ah I'm really stuck,
I'm fucking stuck!)
VERSE 2
To get to your place baby,
Gotta catch the 6am train,
And when I get to Melbourne,
Gotta catch a connecting train,
And a tram, a bus, a taxi,
And fight with the dog at the end of your street,
Before I can do that,
I gotta get off my couch,
Get off my couch.
(Hi darling, it's me again. Forget the last phone call, I've just discovered Uber Eats and the supermarket's gonna deliver half a dozen slabs this arvo. Sorry about that.)
Chorus
Seems I love my couch,
More than I love you,
Seems I love my couch,
More than I love you,
Seems I love my couch,
More than I love you,
Ah Ah,
Bridge
Well it's a great creation,
I use it for my recreation,
And it will be there at my Cremation,
Throw me in.
Well it's a great creation,
I use it for my recreation,
And it will be there at my Cremation,
Throw me in.
Outro
I wanna, Couch, Couch Cremation,
I wanna Couch, Couch Cremation,
I wanna Couch Cremation,
Throw me in.
Couch Cremation,
I wanna Couch Cremation,
I wanna Couch Cremation
Throw me in,
Couch Cremation,
I wanna Couch Cremation,
I wanna Couch Cremation
Throw me in.
Ooh, I love my couch.

Why is it raining today?
Why are the guards crying?
If there’s a better way, I’m listening.
VERSE 2
Why is it raining today? I wanna know.
We were so happy yesterday.
See the tears they’re falling
I’m listening, both ears wide open.

Your lips they keep moving,
I hear nothing at all.
Lips that were soothing,
I taste nothing at all.
VERSE 3
Why is it raining today?
Our time is running out.
Didn’t want to see it end like this.
Hear the guards they’re sighing
I’m listening, both ears wide open.

Your lips they keep moving,
I hear nothing at all.
Lips that were soothing,
I taste nothing at all.

Intro
Ooh, Ooh, Ahh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
VERSE 1
Turn out the party lights,
Be mine tonight,
Maybe we'll get it right,
In this imperfect love.
For goodness sake,
There's a snake in the lake,
And it's keeping me awake,
In this imperfect love.

Let's get together
And do it again
Get together
And do it again.
Ooh, Ooh, Ahh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
VERSE 2
I'm too much on my screen,
Life's not what it seems,
Slip in between,
This imperfect love.
There's a storm out to sea,
It'll be what it will be,
Cling to me,
In this imperfect love.
Chorus
Let's get together
And do it again
Get together
And do it again.
Ooh, Ooh, Ahh

Let It Be So
04:24
|
|||
VERSE 1
There is a place that we go to
When we make love
How we make love
That sacred space where I find you
In our nakedness
Our hearts caress
Bridge
When darkness enfolds you
And my two arms hold you
All defences stripped away
Like sand upon your shore
I am swept up in your ocean
And the depths of your devotion
Are footsteps to my core
And ripples on my shore.
CHORUS
Let me see you
Let me know
What it is
To touch your soul
Let me love you
Let it be so
Let your mask drop
Let it go
Instrumental
VERSE 2
There is a place that we go to
In darker times
Seek and we can find
A sacred space to hold on to
In it’s nakedness
The heart can rest
Bridge
When sadness enfolds me
And your two arms hold me
All defences stripped away
Like sand upon my shore
You are swept up in my ocean
And the depths of my emotion
Are footsteps to your core
And ripples on your shore.
CHORUS
Let me see you
Let me know
What it is
To touch your soul
Let me love you
Let it be so
Let your mask drop
Let it go
Let me love you
Let it be so
Let your mask drop
Let it go
Let it be so

Each Passing Day

VERSE 1
I can see my mother when I close my eyes
I can hear her sweet voice when there‘s quiet
And I feel my mother when I go deep inside
As she rocks me gently in her arms
I can see you in the flowers growing
I can see you in my children’s smiles
I can hear your sweet voice in their laughter
And I can feel your soul taking flight

I cry a million tears for tomorrow
And I miss you more than words can say
Mother you are my inspiration
And I love you more
With each passing day

As I kissed you gently on your head
And I held your hand while you were dying

Mother you are my inspiration
And I love you more
With each passing day

Time passes quickly but not the sorrow
But I know you wouldn’t want it that way
And my mother is my inspiration
I love her more with each passing day
CHORUS
I cry a million tears for tomorrow
And I miss you more than words can say
Mother you are my inspiration
And I love you more
With each passing day

VERSE 1
Don’t you kiss a girl with a heart of ice
Looked it up on my device and it says quite clearly
Your lips might get stuck to hers
I told you once, gonna tell you twice
Don’t you kiss a girl with a heart of ice
Whoa
You might get stuck with her
And if you sleep with a girl with a heart of ice
Stay with her through the night, whoa
You might fall in love with her

And it’s a crazy love, it’s a crazy love
Drive you crazy love, drive you crazy love
It’s a crazy love, drive you crazy love

Her heart will never melt, her heart will never melt
Her heart will never melt, her heart will never melt

I kissed a girl with a heart of ice
Can’t even take my own advice

And if you sleep with a girl with a heart of ice
Stay with her through the night
Whoa, you might fall in love with them
Chorus
And it’s a crazy love, it’s a crazy love
Drive you crazy love, drive you crazy love

Her heart will never melt, her heart will never melt

Her heart will never melt, her heart will never melt

Punching Bag
04:11
|
|||
VERSE 1
Please don't ask me,
Where I'm going,
Please don't tell me,
I should be staying,
Chorus
I'm tired of your worn out excuses,
Hurt feelings, rejection and bruises,
You say you love me,
But I won't be your punching bag,
No, I won't be your punching bag,
No.
VERSE 2
Please don't tell me,
You're in a hurry,
Please don't tell me,
I should be sorry,
Chorus
I'm tired of your insecure obsession,
Silence and anger, feel like possession.
You say you love me,
But I won't be your punching bag,
No, I won't be your punching bag.
Ooh, Ooh.
Bridge
Words that cut to the bone,
I'd rather be alone.
Then I'd be someone that you'd known,
But I won't be your punching bag.
No, I won't be your punching bag
No.
I won't be your,
I won't be your.
Outro
We're inside out,
We're upside down,
I gotta turn my head around.
Pieces of us on the floor,
Watch me sweep 'em out the door,
So, this is how it ends,
And there's no need to pretend,
No more,
And I won't be your punching bag
No more and I won't be your punching bag
No more and I won't be your punching bag,
No more.
Please don't ask me where I'm going.

Far Too Close
03:50
|

VERSE 1
Sometimes you stand far too close to me,
Sometimes you dance far too slow for me,
Sometimes,
Sometimes you don't dance at all,
Sometimes,
Sometimes you got me climbing the wall,
Climbing the wall,
Climbing the wall,
Climbing the wall.
Chorus
Sometimes you stand too close to me
Sometimes you stand too close
Sometimes you stand too close
Sometimes you stand too close to me
Sometimes you stand too close
Sometimes you stand too close
Too close
VERSE 2
Sometimes you lie far too close to me,
Sometimes you try far too hard for me,
Sometimes,
Sometimes you don't try at all,
Sometimes,
And sometimes you got me climbing the wall,
Climbing the wall,
Climbing the wall,
Climbing the wall.
Chorus
Sometimes you stand too close to me,
Sometimes you stand too close,
Sometimes you stand too close,
Sometimes you stand too close to me,
Sometimes you stand too close,
Sometimes you stand too close,
Too close,
Outro
Sometimes I wish you'd stand a little closer to me,
Sometimes I wish you'd stand a little closer to me,
Sometimes I wish you'd stand a little closer to me,
Sometimes I wish you'd stand a little closer to me,
That's far too close.

INTRO
I sink deep
Into the blue
And that's, that's where I find you
How long will it take
To see the truth?
VERSE 1
I’ve been searching the skies
Trying to sort through all the lies
Disappointment and deception
When all I seek is redemption, oh

And that’s, that's where I find you
How long will it take, to see the truth?
VERSE 2
I’ve been searching the sea
Hoping that I find me
Somewhere out there in a sinking boat
Trying everything to stay afloat
Chorus
I sink deep into the blue
And that’s, that’s where I find you
How long will it take
Tell me
How long will it take
What will it take
To see the truth
How long will it take
Tell me
How long will it take
What will it take
To see the truth
To see the truth

VERSE 1
If she takes you to the river, make sure that you can swim
If she takes you to the water, she’s gonna throw you in
If she takes you to the mountain, make sure that you can fly
If she takes you to the valley, she’ll teach you how to cry
If she takes you to the laundry mat don’t expect to come out clean
Spare a thought for Geoffrey stuck in number 5 machine.
Chorus
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(going round and round)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(going round and round)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(going round and round)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(going round and round)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
Stuck in number 5
He’s been there a week now, I hope he’s still alive.
VERSE 2
She took me to the Tambo and she taught me how to swim
She took me to the Lake and removed my skin
Took my bones to Hotham and taught them how to ski
Woke up in the Valley, now there’s not much left of me
She took me to the laundry mat, guess what, I came out clean
Spare a thought for Geoffrey stuck in number 5 machine
Chorus/Outro
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(ooh ooh ooh)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(ooh ooh ooh)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey
(ooh ooh ooh)
Spare a thought for Geoffrey

Still stuck in number 5
(Ah, I don’t think so, haha)
