Great Southern Land 

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

Great Southern Land, burned you black

So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way

Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
And they make it work, with sticks and bones
See their hungry eyes, its a hungry home

I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
They burned you black, black against the ground

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

Great Southern Land, in the sleeping sun
You walk alone with the ghost of time
Where they burned you black, black against the ground
And they make it work with rocks and sand

I hear the sound of the strangers voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
You walk alone with the ghost of time
And they burned you black
Yeah, they burned you black
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land

Mental Hopscotch 

Sometimes you say you will sometimes you say you won't
You always keep me waiting waiting hesitating hey yeah
At times I think you do at times I think you don't
My mind is roller skating, skipping, jumping rope and fading
Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not I'm going away
Why can't you be like this why can't you be like that
I don't know where I am or where or where I'm at
So now you got me up and now you got me down
You won't be walking you'll be talking
watch me now it's crazy
Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not I'm going away
Mental hopscotch
Cover your eyes and count to 10
Mental hopscotch
Don't do a thing till I say when
So now you get me up and now you get me down
You won't be walking you'll be doin' what you love, baby
You don't think twice about what I might say

I follow you around and play an play an play an play
Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not I'm going away
Mental hopscotch
Cover your eyes and count to 10
Mental hopscotch
Don't do em up till I say when
Mental hopsctch
Do me dump me rill me rock me
Mental hopscotch
Roller skating skipping fading
Mental hopscotch
Mental hopscotch
Mental hopscotch

Girls On Film 

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine

Girls on film, girls on film
Girls on film, girls on film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
And miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair
By the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here
As she goes under again

Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture)
Girls on film

Wider, baby, smile and you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close, I'm holding bright
Holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper
Take me up 'til I'm shooting a star

Girls on film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you later)
Girls on film

So In Love 

Talk to me, don't lie to me
Save your breath
Don't look at me, don't smile at me
Just close your eyes

I was so impressed by you
I was running blind
I would fall for every trick
Every twist of mind

Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

Don't say your prayers, don't build your hopes
Just walk away
Don't phone me up, don't call around
Don't waste your time

You were so in awe of me
You were so divine
You would do just anything
To still be mine

Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

All the things you said to me
I was so obsessed
You were always talking, talking
God, I did my best

Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

(I was so in love with you) Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

(I was so in love with you) Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

I was so in love, I was so in love, I was so in love with you
So in love with you

I Know There’s Something Going On

I can see that it won't be long
You grow cold when you keep holding on
You know you've changed and your words, they lie
That's something you can't deny
I call, you're not at home
You're home, but you're not alone
If you wanna leave then why don't you say it
Your love has gone anyway
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on

I know a good thing must come to an end
But it's hard to take losing a friend
I know what you think and what's in your mind
So darling, look, why pretend?
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something

I Know There’s Something Going On

The Only One I Know

The only one I know
Has come to take me away
The only one I know
Is mine when she stitches me
The only one I see
Has found and aching in me
The only one I see
Has turned her tongue into me
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
The only one I know
Never cries, never opens her eyes

The only one I know
Wide awake and then she's away
The only one I see
Is mine when she walks down our street
The only one I see
Has carved her way into me
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

Shellshock 

Shellshock
Shellshock
Shellshock
Shellshock
Shellshock
Shellshock
Shellshock
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Until your heart
You call me on the phone, you left me all alone
All I get from you is shellshock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shellshock
I'd tell the world and save my soul
But rain falls down and I feel cold
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hold you've had on me
By causing the changes that you never see
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Hold on it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Oh
Until your heart
When we walk through open doorways
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find our peace of mind
And life becomes a life of crime
And that's the day I call your name
I came to you, I called in vain
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start

Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Hold on, until your heart, until your heart
That's the way
I've been good and I've been bad
But common sense I've never had
No matter how I try and try
I hide the truth behind a lie
But that's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul from the end to the start
Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

Hold on, it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating
