Falling In Love

I can’t stop falling in love
With you, my friend
I can’t stop falling in love
With you, my friend
Back when we first met
You said, would you like to be my friend
You came to playgroup
We played on the swings together
But you left me
Can’t you see?
[Chorus]
You can’t stop falling in love you say to me
I don’t want it is about you that I like
I don’t see you much anymore
And I’d really, really like to
I can’t stop falling in love
I can’t stop falling in love
[Chorus]

I

|

|
I am a witness to a terrible crime
The thoughts I hold are purely mine
My fingers quake as does my mind
The pain is so much, I’d rather be blind
I
I’ve seen a murder, a murder of ones knowledge
You deny it but you can’t hide it
Put it under a veil but you can’t cover your emotion
I want to break out of these rusty shackles
That have been holding me prisoner
I
Went down the chapel to tell the Lord
Everything is better now he’s answered my calls
I don’t feel trapped no more, I’m as free as a bird
Everyone is happy now – no longer frustrated by the moments that really get on my nerves

Throw Rocks
02:51
|
|
||
|
I throw rocks, compulsively
From the window of society
But you know you can't throw rocks from glass houses
I know because I speak from experience
Don't throw rocks...
I throw rocks repeatedly
Through the windows of my enemies
[Chorus]

On The Farm
08:54
|
|
||
|
There are ducks, swimming in ponds
Cows eating the green grass
Passers-by feasting on the countryside
A farmer telling them not to trespass
There are rabbits hopping round the shrubbery
Horses moping around alone
In winter the hedgehog is in habitat
And the crop is all dead and gone
On the farm, there are lots of animals
On the farm, frolicking with the animals
On the farm, playing on the tractor
On the farm, there are lots of animals…
[Chorus]
On the farm, the sky has turned dark
The wolves are all sleeping
The horse is in the barn
The rabbits are all underground
And the farmer’s snuggled up warm in bed
[Chorus]

Egg Fried Rice

[Bill]
Ching / chong / china-man?
Egg fried rice: a fight's alright
Cash / carry / export fee
Saturday night: quiet a fight
Racial awareness everywhere
Cellulite bum - ginger hair
Typhoon / siphon / count me down
The mob's a'coming: after you
Holy-moly / Jewish Christmas
Hike-on-a-bike if the price ain't right
Pig me up; if you please
Sorry if I offend; bring you to your knees
Gip-gip, wok-wok-wok
Once was cold: now I'm hot
Bathing, saving, making blood
Just like any gangsta' should
Cry - cry - all the way home
My home's my jail: yours is on wheels
Gypsy queen, acid ice
Tastes like - looks like - nails in eyes
Pina Colada / Rabbi Fluff
Xenophobia / Billy Goat's Gruff
Chinese / Indian / once twice thrice
This shizzle ain't nothin' but
Egg fried rice
[Bob]
Break it down it's Bee-Oh-Bee
You want pain? Come to me
Bill and Bob gonna kick your arse
Life crisis? It ain't no farce
Dice: thrice: cut yourself a deal
I ain't no chicken nugget spicy meal
I'm Hart and I be tough
Gansta Hart in da ruff
Break it down (sow it up)
Tie it a knot (a fisherman's knot)

Sheep Alert!

The winter months are always hard but I still love you
The honeymoon period is behind us
My feelings are starting to change but I still love you dearest
Love has faded away but the children remain
Who’s going to look after them when I’m out touring with the band?
I can’t sleep at night because you’re nagging again
I don’t know how the children get so much sleep
How do you sleep at night, knowing I’m in hell?
I wish I could beat the truth into you but I’m no fool
But my feelings still remain, the same
WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME?
Baby I love you…
