Hunters And Collectors - Holy Grail

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army the world ahs ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the holy grail

Started out seeking fortune and glory
Its a short song but a hell of a story
When you spend lifetime trying to get your hands
On the holy grail

Well have you heard about the great crusade
We ran into millions, but nobody got paid
Yeah we raised four corners of the globe
For the holy grail

All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow
We were so far home, so how were we to know
There be nothing left to pluder
When we stumble on the holy grail

We were full of beans
But we were dying like flies
And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky
And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die

You know I, i been searching for an easy way
To escape the cold light of day
I been high and I been low
But I nowhere else to go

Theres nowhere else to go

And i followed orders
God knows where i been
But i woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
Im still here
Im still a fool for the holy grail

oh yeah im a fool for the holy grail



Hunters And Collectors - When The River Runs Dry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbUg5...elated&search=

Good news for beautiful people
Watching the world go by
Make love in the middle of a warzone
Hey - ya never gonna die

Don't rock the boat - keep your head down
Just another fool in the crowd
Everybody knows - you can be a winner
C'mon - shout it out loud

On the fat of the land I been living
Now it's only a matter of time
Sooner or later - you open your eyes
And return to the scene of the crime

Dig deep at the top of the heap
Now you've bitten off the hand that feeds you
You got nothin' but your soul to sell
You got nothin'

When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one last time
When the river runs dry

You got the power I got the money
Another million miles to run
I'd cry - cry for the future
But I wouldn't get anything done
Relax - abandon ship
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Blind luck - destiny - do me a favour

When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one more time
When the river runs.. dry

Good news for beautiful people
Watching the world go by
Make love in the middle of a war zone
All of God's children
Never gonna die

You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will run on you one more time
When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one more time
When the river runs

I'm going home to where the river runs dry

Salvation will rain on you one more time

It's only a matter of time
Only a matter of time
when the river runs dry



Hunters & Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYrgP...elated&search=

I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
I'll go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you dissapear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me
(repeat to end



Hunters And Collectors - Do You See What I See?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR3-E...elated&search=

I spy your humble home
I see the tea towels fly
In a blinding flash
I see the years go by
memories twisted around
somebodies finger
behind me now
oh but I still remember
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?

We go north to the ocean
we driove dso far
but last years light is shining hotter than the sun
loking for someone
in a city that I know
but I wasn't round for long
I had somewhere else to go

Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?

I see the safest place around
in that city down below
my hands are empty now
and I waving as I go

You were gone for a little while
It was a fine fine line
Between first and second thoughts
we left them all behind
Now we barely faulter
Now the long drive has begun
North to the ocean
Hotter, hotter than the sun

Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see



Hunters And Collectors - Blindeye

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZGit...elated&search=

When success is on your mind
But true direction is missing
You know the Gods have lied - but you're still smitten.
By the stars in your eyes
I can tell you know where you are
Smile sweetly and you'll be forgiven.
You're almost free - almost free to come and go
Bed sitting room for ambitious prisoner.

Walk away, don't take no for an answer
Turn a blind eye to it all
Let sleeping dogs lie
Down in Queensway.

Like a bulldozer chasing butterflies
Down sad English streets you wander
Over sleeping bodies you step lightly.
All the snow on the ground
- lets you pass by without a sound
One last look before you disappear.

Walk away, don't take no for an answer
Turn a blind eye to it all
Let sleeping dogs lie
Down in Queensway.



Hunters And Collectors- Where Do You Go?

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I'd like to believe that you love me
I'd like to believe that you care
I'd like to believe your the one I can trust
Your the one who will always be there
I'd like to believe in the future
I wish it was safe and strong
I wish I could fly on a wing and a prayer
But I've lied to myself for too long

Tell me where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
Theres a place I know
You can let your defences down
Oh come on

I'd like to same damn the torpedos
I'd like to same damn the expense
I'd like to say no, to the cold hard cash
But starving just would not make sense
I wish I could scream like a baby
I wish I could cry out and be saved
I wish I was grateful and my conscience was clear
So then I could dance on you grave.

So tell me where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
theres a place I know
You can let your defences down
Oh yeah let 'em down

Where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
theres a place I know
You can let your defenses down

Where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
theres a place I know
You can let your defenses down



Hunters And Collectors- True Tears Of Joy

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Come on confess your confusion
Spread it around
They trickle down your cheeks tears fall
Like seed on barren ground
Your thoughts are scattered
Like paper everywhere
Tiny pieces of laughter and despair

But you cry true tears of joy

Passion is your weakness
But you feed it everyday
Like a moth to the naked falme
You just can't keep away
You twist the truth, then you turn the other cheek
Everybody knows its just salvation that you seek

And you cry true tears of joy
oh you cry true tears of joy
oh yeah

It flickers on your face
I can see it in your eyes
I knew you for a moment
So don't be so suprised
Its only pleasure that you can't resist
But say one word of truth

And I'll see you cry true tears of joy
Oh you cry true tears of joy
Yeah you cry true tears of joy
Oh you cry true tears of joy
Oh yeah

Tears of joy


Hunters And Collectors - Say Goodbye

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Well just the other night I come home
After three months of constant grind and travel
And I went snivelling
I went crawling around to my girlfriend's house
And she came down hard upon me
And she ground her finger into my breastbone
And she said
She said: "You don't make me feel... like I'm a woman... anymore
And you don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more
You don't make me feel like I'm a woman any more

And I know
I know it's been a long time
Seems like it's been go-ing on forever
And my heart
My heart is beating
too big

It's beating too big for the space that's meant to hold it
So good-night
Goodnight my little lovely
As we turn
As we turn down the lights
Say good-bye

Goodbye to the naked truth
Your skin is looking weary
And your eyes are closing down on the day
I know, I know it's been a long time
Seems like it's been going on forever

But just as black is white
Yeah and just as night is day
The light is going to leave you
And you're gonna fade away
So goodnight, goodbye my lovely
As we turn, as we turn down the lights
Say goodnight, goodnight to the naked truth
Your skin is looking weary
And your eyes are closing down on the day


Hunters & Collectors - Talking To A Stranger

Hunters & Collectors - Talking To A Stranger - YouTube

Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
Remember the panic in its delectable face, when I touched it
It was like talking to a stranger
Venetian candles penetrated its heart
It trembles like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger, no no.

Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
You tasted mustard when she painted your face
And it was like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger
Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger.

Hunters And Collectors- The Slab

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I was looking to see some dreams drip from your fingers
I was working in that lonely place where memory lingers
If there were words, if there was hair that I could drag you back with
If there was one single little hook that I could break your back with

Here we go
Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows

It's somewhere down there between daytime and the dark
And I'm gonna sweat beneath the light of a warm world
Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows

Out here in the street, naked in front of God and everyone
I'm beginning to see daylight yawning down there
And I'm just sitting here waiting for things to come
Cram that page baby, you know I'm marvellous
You think I'm sweating like this just for fun?

And hey I know it's true but I just can't say it
(Say it, say it)
Hey I know it's true but I just can't say it
(Say it, say it)
All right, all right!

Just.... one..... touch
And everything will be all right

Just.... one..... touch
And everything will be all right


Hunters And Collectors - Head Above Water

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Give you my word, you can take it
I'm as pure as the driven snow
I'll make a promise, i'll never break it
Yeah, nobody will ever know
I'm supposed to be a saint so I fake it
Yeah my stash is beginning to grow

Just look at me, I'm so easy
Dressed to kill, my teeth are clean
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling sleazy
I'm looking at your peaches and cream
Trust me I'm yours for the taking
I've got the biggest head you've ever seen

Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water
Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water

Well have you heard? Would you believe it?
Do you realise how much I know?
I could tell you the biggest story
There's no limit to the seed that I sow
Yeah the suit has a hand so I shake it
My greed is beginning to show

Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water
Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water

I'd climb the highest mountain, I'd swim the deepest ocean
I'd girdle the globe just to find the magic potion
That could change everything, that could set me on fire
Bring me down easy on wings of desire
Oh to be alive, I'd suck to survive
I'd do anything; to keep my head above water

Everybody knows, butter wouldnt melt in my mouth
Hey dont you know, I'm as pure as the driven snow
Hey I give you my word, you can take it
I'll make a promise and I'll never break it

Sitting in the shelter
Head between your knees
Cant afford the struggle
Can't afford to sleep
Got my gas mask on
Hey I'm lauughing like thers no tommorrow

All care no responsiblity is take for the
Heap of garbage on the side of the road
Got my back door covered but the beast is on the loose again.

We the people who live next door
We are the ones you can feel through the floor

Back in the good old days
You paid a penny to the preacher
A pound of flesh to keep the planet alive
Pass around the pie
We're going to suck on this supper together

We got religon
We got the guns
We got the power to put out the sun
Come on everybody
Don't you know that you can dream forever

We the people who live next door
We are the ones you can feel through the floor
We got the power
But oh we are weak
We are brave in our silience
But we are to scared to seek
We will carry the impossible load
While our leaders weap by the side of the road

We've been dreaming so long
We've been taken so far from where we belong

We the people
We the people who live next door
We are the ones you can feel thought the floor
We are powerful
But oh we are weak
We are brave in our silience
But we are to scared to seek
We will carry the impossible load
While our leaders weap like children on the side of the road



Hunters And Collectors- Stuck On You

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I've been hearing round the town
You've been out and getting round
Whether it's right or whether it's true
I'm stuck here and I'm stuck on you
Oh no, I heard you talk in your sleep
You keep your head down, and you stare at your feet
You won't look up, but you won't look away
You give the same answers no matter what I say
No matter what I say...
I've been hearing round the town
You've been out and messing round
Whether it's right or whether it's true
I'm stuck here and I'm stuck on you
Oh no, I heard you talk in your sleep
You keep your head down and you stare at your feet
You won't look up, but you won't look away
You give the same answers no matter what I say
No matter what I say
I've been hearing round the town...


Hunters And Collectors- True Believers

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I know your face, I've seen it before
A faded memory, a voice through the door
Tell me your name - are you friend or foe?
A star-crossed lover with nowhere to go

True believer you're an open book
The stalls are empty everywhere you look
So long to a night well spent
You can't remember where the money all went

You only did it for the good times
One of the true believers
I know the pleasure that you live for
Must be the last of the self-deceivers

Let's go dancing in our Sunday clothes
Let's raise a glass to the life we chose
Can't believe after all these years
You're still laughing - it brings me to tears

Sinking slowly - the champagne flowed
I was a child up until you showed
Don't be ashamed - let there be no regrets
For the nights of madness we can't forget

You only did it for the good times
One of the true believers
I know the pleasure that you live for
Must be the last of the self-deceivers

Tell me your name - I'll keep you in mind
A true heart is the hardest to find
I know your face - I've seen it before
A faded memory at the nightclub door

You only did it for the good times
One of the true believers
I know the pleasure that you live for
Must be the last of the self-deceivers

You only did it for the good times
One of the true believers
I know the pleasure that you live for
Must be the last of the self-deceivers

Hunters And Collectors- Back In The Hole

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

When the day shift is over
There'll be fear in the pipeline tonight
All the prisoners are restless
Locked up from dusk to daylight

Well how can you blame them?
I get pretty close myself sometimes
I know the score, I know the feeling
Isolation for canteen crimes

Still I gotta keep my shirt on
Gotta wait for the nerves to unwind
I gotta get control again
Gotta let the blood boil in my mind

But you don't take it out on your children
Honey I won't take my work home tonight
On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one
'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light

When the schoolboy's witch hunt is over
He's gonna tell us that the system is wrong
But I'll still be working in the cold Coburg air
We've had it too easy for too long

I'm on my way home now
To face up to the rest of my life
Hot water and a home cooked meal
And send kind regards to my wife

But you don't take it out on your children
Honey I won't take my work home tonight
On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one
'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light


Hunters And Collectors - Back On The Breadline

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Stand in line
with your empty cup you're still waiting
for the future of all your living souls
wait for the incoming calls
Your desperation
Where does it lead to false riches?
And the little girl's greed your still young
Oh, but you've tasted it all
Is that you

Is that you
looking so hungry
Is that you
standing at the back of the breadline
back of the breadline
back of the breadline
meet you where the daydreamers stand
standing at the back of the breadline

You used to be
so careles and sure of your possessions
A moment before you got too restless
got up and walked out the door
Don't look to me
look to the west the sun is setting
You've been second-guessed, what bears the future?
Bottom line is what you must believe in.

Is that you
you used to be so proud
Is that you
looking so hungry
Is that you
standing in the back of the breadline
back of the breadline
back of tye breadline
meet you where the daydreamers stand
standing at the back of the breadline

Is that you
you used to be so proud
Is that you
looking so hungry
Is that you
Don't look to me is that you
you used to be free is that you
standing at the back of the breadline

Stand in line
with your empty cup you're still waiting
for the future of all your living souls
Oh, but you've tasted it all

back of the breadline
back of tye breadline
meet you where the daydreamers stand
standing at the back of the breadline


Hunters And Collectors- Inside A Fireball

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Hey everybody - can't you hear me call?
I'm standing in a the street inside a fireball
Tomorrow's in the future - death is in the cradle
We're all day dreaming at the breakfast table

Down Main Street with the dust in my lungs
The blisters on my shoulder - the end has just begun
I'm swimming in the heat when the rads his my tongue
The remnants of my children are having too much fun

Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball

There's a big copper digger in the middle of town
The birds are on his head - the rags are hanging down
The grip on the grenade in his broken hand
As loose as the union's on the hot red sand

Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball

"We will not die and it is no crime
Ya take the whole world upon ya shoulder
For the very last time"

Well I blasted my way through the barrier range
I ripped up the ground but nothing has changed
Bromide, sulphide, oxide, slag
We're cleaning out the can with an oily rag

I'll live on the dole or I'll die in the dust
If they turn up the shift then strike we must
The company's here but the money's all gone
But I'm still digging, I'm still strong!

Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball

Hey everybody, can't ya hear me call?
I'm standing in the street inside a fireball
Tomorrow's in the future - death is in the cradle
You're all chin waggin' around the conference table

Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball

We, we will not die
And it is, it is no crime
You take the whole world upon your shoulders
For the very last, for the very last time
Ooh



Hunters & Collectors-Everything's on Fire

Hunters & Collectors-Everything's on Fire - YouTube

If I don't come home before midnight
And I call out your name in the dark
You'll know that I've been tempted
And I'll know that I've got no heart
And I'll know I won't be expected
And you'll think we're drifting apart
And I might as well be blowing at the top of the world
When my fingers find your body in the dark
Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire
So if I don't come home before midnight
And I can't find the keyhole in the dark
Burn the place down
Make it glow like christmas
The tenderness that's burning in my heart
Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire...
If you can't open your eyes in the morning
If some maniac has been and left his mark
I'll be round to sift through the cinders
Lift the lid and take the thing apart
Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire
Everything's on fire...
So to all you feelers and fumblers
Waiting for the fireworks to start
Do it now--blow it up yourself
Unbutton the butcher in your heart
And if I don't come home before midnight
And I can't find the keyhole in the dark
You'll know, you'll know that I've been tempted
You'll know, you'll know we're drifting apart
Everything's on fire (x12)


Hunters And Collectors- What's A Few Men?

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

The colonel said "these bodies stink wont someone come and drag them away"
we try to clean them up but they mow us down
and the English colonel looks the other way
oh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
well I ran for the trench but I had no time to speak
well my heart said yes
but my head said no
when the English colonel said "its time to go"

He said "Whats a few men?"
He said "Whats a few men?"
He said "Whats a few men?"

The colonel's job is never done
So he declares timeout on Christmas Day
We held the enemy in our arms
and we ploughed each others dead into the clay
well the Lord said death will be no longer
and all of these things will pass away
there will be no sorrow and there will be no pain
and we'll swap cigrettes on christmas day

well my heart said yes
but my head said no
when the english colonel said "its time to go"

He said "Whats a few men?"
He said "Whats a few men?"
He said "Whats a few men?"

Hunters And Collectors- Wasted In The Sun

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Beauty and the beastHave polished off their feast
They're living on the edge
They're off their heads and on my mind
They're taking off their clothesFor perfect life they choseInto the emptiness
The gods could not care lessLong live the land down under
Foaming heads and gutless thunder
Killing time has come
For creatures on the run
Getting wasted in the sun
Each and everyone
Slightly overdoneAnd we are wasted in the sun

I watch the dinosaurs
They manicure their claws
Who knows where they've been
They've lived and lost
The wishful wicked years
They cry but there's no tears
The weak must feed the strong
They know where they belong
I watch the boys go down
The sinking ship is leaving town tonight

Killing time has come
For creatures on the run
Getting wasted in the sun
Each and everyone
Slightly overdone
And we are wasted in the sun
Sun

We live and die like flies
Under perfect skies
The pleasure zone is stung
The trap is almost sprung
Did you feel that you've been cheated?
Ignorance is undefeated

Killing time has come
For creatures on the run
Getting wasted in the sun
Each and everyone
Slightly overdone
And we are wasted in the sun
Sun sun sun
Wasted in the sun

H & C are my favourite aussie band. Although I've not listened to them in awhile, or anyone.

2 good things about the Hunters.

1st) The best live band. (dromana drive-in) (palace St.kilda --> soon to be demolished) (metro night club --> farewell tour)


2nd) Most of their single releases were good/great BUT on the otherside of vinyl, you know, the B side, those songs were good enough to be the A side.


I think it's time they re-united.

Hoodoo Gurus - Like Wow Wipeout

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I kiss the ground on which you walk,
I kiss the lips through which you talk,
I kiss the city of New York where I first met you.

You're my doll and don't forget it
'Cos I'm the guy who will regret it.
I love you more than when I said it when I first met you.

I love the way you talk, you walk, you smile, your style,
Like now, Like, wow-wipeout! No doubt
I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you.

You'll never be a beauty queen
Won't feature in no magazine
But you're the best that's ever been.
I'm glad that I met you.
Take every day now as it comes,
You take the cake I'll keep the crumbs.
I only hear the sound of drums in my heart
(that means that I get you.)

I love the way you walk, you talk, you smile, your style,
Your dress, your caress,
Well, yes, yes, yes I am impressed.
I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you



Hoodoo Gurus - Axegrinder

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

My edge is keen and I've honed my skill.
I've got nerves of steel and an iron will.
My skin is bronze, my trim is chrome,
Climb aboard - I'll drive you home.
I'm a silver - tongued devil with a heart of gold,
When I was made they broke the mould.
My blood runs hot, like molten lead,
Pump you full - I'm gonna knock you dead.

I don't mince words, I spit'em out.
I won't leave room for any doubt.
Get to the point, stop splitting hairs
That ain't getting either of us anywhere.
Sometimes it's better to be blunt
But is this some kind of publicity stunt?
So far you've whet my appetite,
Do you wanna grind with me tonight?

Axegrinder. I'm not famous for my tact.
Axegrinder. I've gotta sharpen up my act.
Axegrinder. Try and see things through my eyes.
Everything and everyone gets cut back down to size.

On the brink of who knows what?
We've gotta strike while the iron's hot.
l can hold your hand, try to guide you through
But I can't make your moves for you.
Swing my blade - that's how it's done.
Don't stop me now, I've only just begun.
I was told when I was young
I wouldn't work in an iron lung.
Now I've learned a trick of two.
I'm working up a sweat for you.

Hoodoo Gurus - What's My Scene

Hoodoo Gurus - What's My Scene - YouTube

And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Oh, baby,
Tell me where have you been?
Now the stage is set
Where's my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe
My Midsummer Night's Dream?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
what's my scene?
tell me wat's my scene

Like a talent scout
I'm always checking out new blood
Oh, I'd do good
If you tell me your game.
Playing Solitaire
Doesn't get me where you would
And, honey, you could
Play by any rules that you care to name.
What's my scene? (I gotta know)

They say, yeah, they say
Making love, you can make it pay.
They say, yeah, they say,
But we know there's a better way
Any day.

And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Am I crazy
To believe in ideals?
I'm a betting man
But it's getting damn lonely.
Oh, honey, it only
I could be sure what I feel.
What's my scene? (I'm dying to know)
I'll never know.
Well, I concede
I've been caught in someone else's scene (but that's not me).
Where, oh where, oh where can my scene be?
Please answer - me
What's my ..?



Hoodoo Gurus - Miss Freelove 69

Hoodoo Gurus - Miss Freelove 69 - YouTube

You can't take me anywhere, I'll strip down to my underwear
If you give me half a chance.
Hippy-freelove, outtasight! I'm gonna turn off every light
And hold a private dance.
It started out one afternoon, hot sake in my living room
Among some special friends.
Soon some others dropped around and we all started gaffing down, well,
You know how these things end!

Miss Freelove, Come back sometime-
Miss Freelove of '69.

Torches flashing sweaty passion, each made love in their own fashion-
We had quite a ball!
Do the monkey, feeling funky, I'm just like any disco junkie
And I don't care at all.
Maybe I'm not thinking straight, I only know that it feels great
And I'm glad you do too.
It could be just a passing fad but think about the fun we had
The last time you decided to pass through.

Miss Freelove, come back sometime
Miss Freelove of '69.

And everything is gone and far away
And everything is gone and that's o.k.
And everything is groovy, would you say?
Would you say?

Someone called the cops on us. They didn't have the heart to bust
The kinky scene they found.
They checked their badges at the door and joined the action on the floor
(When they laid their nightsticks down!)
Miss Freelove .......
La-la-la-la love
La-la-la-la love, Freelove!



Hoodoo Gurus - I Want You Back

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I can still recall the time
She said she was always mine
Then she left ( as people do ),
And forgets what we've been through
(Does this sound familiar to you ?)
It's not that she's gone away
It's the things I hear she has got to say
About me - and about my friends
When we've got no defence.

That's her: I'll never believe her again.
She might have deceived all my friends
I know they will see in the end
What it all means when she says (yeah!)
I want you back (She says)

But what's worse: she thinks it's true
But that's just her (she always was a little bit confused!)
She's not worth the time I had to lose.



Hoodoo Gurus - Middle of the Land

Hoodoo Gurus - Middle of the Land - YouTube

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land

You'll see something that's new in the sunshine
You'll be the winter that's turning to springtime

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land

Someday someone will try to confuse you.
They'll say things you want to hear and they'll use you.
I thought we'd live and learn
But some folks seem to yearn
For values unsophisticated.
Those days are dead and gone
I won't wish them back upon
A world that's much more complicated.

Here I stand in the middle of my ...
Take my hand, I'm always glad to lend a hand.

They'll try to blind you with T.V. religion.
Don't buy their hand-me-down second - opinions.
Sometimes the biggest lies
Are most easily disguised,
Dressed up like the Road To Glory,
Then somewhere down the line
You'll rub your eyes and find
You're on a path to your own Purgatory.

You'll know something as old as the moonlight,
You'll throw superstition and fear away tonight.
They'll paint us black and white,
They'll paint us wrong and right,
They'll paint us all into a corner.
They'll try to cool us down
But they could never fool us now.
We're steamed-up hotter than a Swedish Sauna!

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my, take my hand - your horizons will expand.
Land - in the middle, middle of the land
(Land on me.)



Hoodoo Gurus - Bittersweet

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

You are my sword.
Your love is its own reward.
My heart, I have found,
Gets carved surely by the pound.

God knows. I tried,
Tried to hold you with all my might
But time has won,
And I could never be that strong.
(Don't cry) I couldn't be that strong,
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet,
It's always bittersweet.

I cut and I bleed.
You seem to find that so hard to believe!
That's just too, too bad.
You could never touch the love that we had.

(Don't cry) For the love we had,
(Don't cry) Sometimes we try to take it back.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Kiss my cheeks whenever we meet.
It's always bittersweet.

(Don't Cry) For a love-gone-wrong
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Kiss my eyes whenever we meet.
Anyway...

We've grown and times change.
When we meet now it feels so strange.
I hold you like a sword
You won't cut me like you did before.
It's always bittersweet.



Hoodoo Gurus - My Girl

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Once a girl took my love until I couldn't give anymore,
Then I tried to pretend not to see what I couldn't ignore.
My girl don't love me at all
Anymore.

I took her to the dance and then I didn't see her all night.
Then a friend said he saw her with some other boy just outside.
When I went out she was alone.
She said, "I would like to go home"
I asked her, "Who were you with?"
She said, "No-one."
I could tell that she lied
(And a voice said inside)
My girl don't love me at all
Anymore.
Not at all.



Death Defying by The Hoodoo Gurus 1986

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Ever since the world began
Men have sailed to foreign lands
And the fortunes that they've found
Are now buried in the ground.

Some would say the ocean roars
As it stumbles to the shore
But to me it only sings
Of the sorrow that it brings.

All my friends are dead
Or they're dying.
Empty laughter turns into crying.
It's death-defying.

Well, I barely learned to swim,
Just enough to save my skin.
Now I'll never sail alone,
And my harbour is my home.

All our friends are dead
Or they're dying,
And our laughter only turns into crying,
It's death-defying.

If there's one thing that I've learned,
It's the point of no return
And if that's to be our fate
Now's no time to hesitate.

Hoodoo Gurus - 1000 Miles Away
Hoodoo Gurus - 1000 Miles Away - YouTube

Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin.
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me,
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see.
I can see.

Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep,
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat.
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away.
Thousand miles away.

Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up to be.
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places - who can say ?
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day.
I must be on my way
A thousand miles away.

Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time for yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away.
A thousand miles away.

What was that that you were trying to say ?
I guess I was a thousand miles away.
Sing it again.

Hoodoo Gurus - Another World

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

God only knows how far you've come
It must be light years from here
Some distant star you call "the sun".
Does someone miss you back there?

Another world is calling you.
Another world is coming through.

You look like me, you talk like me
I could believe you're human!
But, late at night, I catch your eye
And I know what you're thinking:

Another world is calling you.
Another world is coming through.
Calling you to come home.

You can't escape from gravity,
For you, this earth's a prison.
What I would call "human" in me
For you would be "perversion".

Another world is calling you.



"Tojo Never Made it to Darwin" by Hoodoo Gurus BPV Version

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Tracy. Tracy was angry.
A bad mood.
I told her, "It's an ill wind
Blows no good."
(Then she told me)
"Tojo never made it to Darwin."

I said, "Tracy, won't you listen - this is Christmas!
Don't you go."
She said, "David, I wouldn't miss this for the world but I
got to blow."
(Then she said again)
"Tojo never made it to Darwin."

Now she's gone, gone, gone
Just like the wind.
I just sigh,
But I'm dreaming that I'm gleaming
In her eye.
(But I'll always hear)
"Tojo never made it to Darwin."

That year, Santa never came.



Hoodoo Gurus - Lelani

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Somewhere on a South Pacific island
Sits a young man staring at the surf.
His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
A tribal sacrifice made to the earth.

She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue.
A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name.
She and her young man made a handsome two
But lava tore them both apart again.

Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd say).

They were saving for a little hut,
She collected sea-shells every day.
Everynight they'd share a cigarette
But The ancient, angry gods got in the way.

Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd plead).

Katoomba, Hey! Macumbah, Ho!
Umgawah! Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah...
Leilani - crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai
Aba-laba-laba, Hut!

Leilani-nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile
Aba-laba-laba Hut!
Umgawah!!!

Still the young man sits upon the beach,
He's staring misty-eyed out into space.
He's thinking about his girlfriend (of late, deceased),
At least her death had purpose; now his life is a waste!
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd beg her)



Hoodoo Gurus-Down On Me

Hoodoo Gurus-Down On Me - YouTube

I've been going through hell
And it's starting to tell.
Wanna stand up and yell
(I wish I had a soul to sell)

All I see is down on me,
I don't need down on me,
Everybody is down on me,
Get out of my tree, stop crowding me.

Ain't it always the way
How people treat you today
Fuck you over and say,
"Now go and have a real nice day!"

They must be down on me,
Can't you see down on me,
I don't need them down on me
Let me breathe, stop drowning me.

They must be down on me,
He and she down on me,
My family is down on me,
Even Mr. T is down on me!

'Cos I'm doing it tough
I thought of turning to drugs
But there is never enough
To keep my problems beneath the rug.

L-S-D down on me
P-C-P down on me
T-H-C down on me
M-S-G down on me
X-T-C down on me
F-A-B down on me
R-I-P down on me
M-T-V go down on me

Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well.

The many sounds that meet our ears, the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls.

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.

Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have wont be erased,
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They wont be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you will echo in your mind.

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.

Im so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
Im so glad that I found someone to believe in again.

God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you god.

Come on, lets fall in love,
Youre the woman Ive been waiting for,
Come on, lets fall in love,
Youre the girl that I really adore,
Come on, lets fall in love...
