1. _ Rescue
RESCUE (written by Donna Simpson)
When your boots are well worn in
And you’re tired of travelling
When you got nowhere to call your own
You know my place can be your home
To the rescue here I come
To the rescue here I come
When I was out there playing hard
With my big attitude and my broken heart
Poison my only friend
And my drinking addiction
To the rescue there you were
To my rescue there you were
Now we’re both out there floating around
I still got to space but you’re on the ground
You’re in my heart you’re in my head
Right now we don’t need no rescuing
To the rescue I’ll never let you fall
To my rescue you’ve been on call

2. _ London Still
LONDON STILL (written by Donna Simpson)
I wonder if you can pick up
My accent on the phone
When I call across the country
When I call across the world
I see you in my kitchen
I can picture you now
As you toast to your small town
And you drink the happy hour
I’m in London still
I’m in London still
I’m in London still
I took the tube over to Camden
To wander around
I bought some funky records
With that old motown sound
And I miss you like my left arm
That’s been lost in a war
Today I dream of home and not of London anymore
I’m in London still
I’m in London still
Yeah I’m in London still
You know it’s ok
I’m kinda happy here for now
I think I’ve finally grown up
And got myself a lover now
If I ever come home and I, I think I will
I hope you’re gonna want to hang
At my place on Sundays still
Oh yeah I hope you will
‘Cause I’m in London still
You know we got it sorted
We really got it down
To a fine art on Sunday
In our sleepy Sunday town
I wonder what I’m missing
I think of songs I’ve never heard
I’m dreaming of your voices
And I’m dreaming of your herb
I’m in London still
I’m in London still
I’m in London still
Oh I’m in London still
La la la la London still
I’m in London…

3. _ Sweetness
SWEETNESS (written by Donna Simpson)
There’s nothing like a big old lie
A good record and a smoke to pass time by
Music gets me in the mood
It all kicks in and I sit back
And think about you
Sweetness to me
That’s all you’ll ever be
You mean stuff to me
I like the way you’re wearing your smile
And you close your eyes
And you leave us for a while
But leaving’s all I ever do
I got a good pair of boots
And my guitar plays sweet tunes
Sweetness to me
That’s all you’ll ever be
You mean stuff to me
Sing me a song before I go
The tour’s on the road and I won’t be home
For three months or maybe more
Rent my room out when I’m gone
I’ll call and let you know when I’ll be home
And where I’m flying in from
Sweetness to me
That’s all you’ll ever be
You mean stuff to me
Sweetness to me
It’s all you’re ever gonna be
You mean stuff to me

4. _ Lighthouse
LIGHTHOUSE (written by Josh Cunningham)
Lighthouse tall and grand
Standing on that cold headland
Shine your light across the sea
For a wayward sailor girl like me
Lighthouse man
Guide this sailor back to land
Steer my ship on through the storm
Back to water safe and calm
Sometimes I need a lighthouse for my own
It gets so dark I can’t see which way I’m going
Oh lighthouse man I’m all at sea
Shine a little lighthouse light on me
Lighthouse man I’m all at sea
Shine a little lighthouse light on me
Lighthouse man can’t help us all
Some he’ll save and some will fall
He’ll show you where the danger lies
But he can’t help it if you capsize
He’ll light your way but that is all
Steer your own ship back to shore
Won’t you light my lonely way back home
This sea is full of misery and woe
Oh woe betide those that say
They don’t need no light to light their way
They think they’re safe enough on their own
Drown in murky depths below
We all need a lighthouse for our own
It gets so dark I can’t see which way I’m going
Oh lighthouse man I’m all at sea
Shine a little lighthouse light on me

5. _ Fourth Floor
FOURTH FLOOR (written by Josh Cunningham)
On the fourth floor of the building
In a shallow window box
She’s digging in the soil with a silver spoon
Her hands inside rubber gloves
Planting seeds pulling out weeds
The cycle of life is complete
Who would’ve thought it in a city of stone
Four floors above the street
I cannot tell what kind of flowers they are
I’m too far below on the street
But the colour they add to the building so drab
Brings a warm splash of welcome relief
Something worthwhile for the sun to shine on
A reason to radiate heat
Well that small window box puts a skip in my feet
Four floors below on the street
For every good seed she plants in the soil
There’s a dozen bad waiting to grow
To strangle the goodness she’s trying to nurture
And kill all the seed that she’s sown
Every time you water the garden you also water the weeds
A profound illustration of sin and temptation
Four floors above the street
Some people don’t understand why she does it
Some people look for a reason
Maybe she just likes the feel of the soil
Or keeping in tune with the seasons
Maybe she has so much pride in herself
Got to keep it all visually pleasing
A small paradise in a world of concrete
Four floors above the street
A small paradise in a world of concrete
A small paradise in a world of concrete
A small paradise in a world of concrete
Four floors above the street

6. _ Up All Night
UP ALL NIGHT (written by Josh Cunningham)
Watched the sun sinking low
Watched the moon rising slow
Watched it move across the sky
Till I saw the morning light
Up all night
Up all night
Things just don’t seem right
Lordy I think I might
Stay up all night
We were young long ago
Now there’s ash where the fire glowed
Cold and grey, black as night
I’m waiting for the morning light
Up all night
Up all night
Things just don’t seem right
Lordy I think I might
Stay up all night
Watched the sun sinking low
I watched the moon rising slow
Watched it move across the sky
Till I saw the morning light
Up all night
Up all night
Things just don’t seem right
Lordy I think I might
Stay up all night
Stay up all night

7. _ Nothing New
NOTHING NEW (written by Vikki Simpson)
I’m going to dress up tonight
And I’ll look real pretty for I don’t know who
I’ll find my own way around this great big city
And I’m gonna sit at a bar and I’ll have a drink
I’ll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings
I know you like to visit them from time to time
And like a thief I steal the words you write to her
I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine
But this is nothing new
But it ain’t nothing
Well this is nothing new
But it ain’t nothing
You long for sweetness
Does mine make you sickly
Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require
There’s nothing sweet about a heart so embittered
It’s ugly and it’s cold and tonight it’s out for hire
But it ain’t nothing new
But this ain’t nothing
Well this is nothing new
But it ain’t nothing
We live through this day after day
And complacency’s a curse
But you just can’t escape it
And I’ve arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way
And I struggle to hold my head up high
But it ain’t nothing new
Well this is nothing new
But it ain’t nothing

8. _ Highway One
HIGHWAY ONE (written by Donna Simpson)
Highway 1, 12 hour drive
I got a place I do call mine
I got me a space where I can breathe
I got my garden I got my trees
And if you’re ever out this way
And if you still recall my name
You know I’m not that hard to find
I live on Highway 1, 12 hour drive
And we’re gonna be
Eating fish from a coal fire
And we’re gonna be
Sleepin outside
Till the fires coal
Or till it gets too cold
But if you come through late at night
I’ll leave on my bedside light
I’m down the hall and to the right
Baby you can creep in and wake me up
And we’re gonna be
Eating fish from a coal fire
And we’re gonna be
Sleepin outside
Till the fires coal
Or till it gets too cold
You know it’s doubtful I will tell
Where my love and I do lay
Or where my flowers grow
Highway 1, 12 hour drive
Highway 1, 12 hour drive
Highway 1, 12 hour drive
I live on Highway 1, 12 hour drive

9. _ Flesh And Blood
FLESH AND BLOOD (written by Josh Cunningham)
There are secrets in the soul of me
Things I keep inside
Places you will never see
Hidden under lock and key
Flesh and blood and skin and bone
You’re looking from the outside in
All you’ll see is what you’re shown
Flesh and blood and skin and bone
It’s par for the course it’s a matter of fact
People are all the same
They want to make my business theirs
Slandering my good name
All around my neighbourhood
People trying to say that I ain’t no good
Pointing their finger at me and mine
Look at what’s hanging on my clothesline
Flesh and blood and skin and bone
What’s mine in mine and mine alone
Stand at the window on your tippy toes
Blinds are down – skin and bone
Ashes come to ashes
Dust becomes to dust
My secret soul will never die
As my body surely must
When I’m buried under the ground
I’ll still be here in kind
Invisible and sinister
The things I leave behind
Flesh and bone and skin and blood
Bury my deep beneath the mud
When I die only thing that’s gone
Is flesh and blood, skin and bone

10. _ Three Down
THREE DOWN (written by Vikki Simpson)
Three months on the road
But I’ve still got four more to go
There’s a full moon and it’s rising over Austin
I can see a big old Texas flag flying in the wind
I can’t sleep for all the bright lights of this cheap hotel
This is some kind of hellhole I’m living in
Three months on the road
But I’ve still got four more to go
Then I’m going home
I got my sister crying at me
“C’mon lets go downtown
You spend all day in this hotel room just lazing around”
So she takes me to a bar down on 6th street
And she orders me to drink them down
I got three under my belt
Just four more to go
Then I’m going home
(Take me home!)
Well we were driving out of Nashville and the clock it said 12am
We’ve got a give hour drive to Jackson
And no map to get us there
We get lost somewhere off the parkway
We have to stop and ask some guy who look like he don’t care
I said we’ve been three hours on the road
He said you’ve got four more to go
Till’ you’ll be home
Three under my belt
But I’ve still got four more to go
Then I’m going home
Well I’ve been three months on the road
But I’ve still got four more to go

11. _ Fisherman's Daughter
FISHERMAN’S DAUGHTER (written by Donna Simpson)
I don’t like gold and I don’t like pearls
I’m just your regular West Australian fisherman’s daughter
I’m a middle class folk singing guitar playin’ girl
I ain’t seen the world no I’ve not travelled far
I’m saving dollars for a 1962 ruby red interior
R series Valiant, mother of a car
I’m a country girl in a city whirlpool
I’m pulling over man I’m gonna let you through
I’m living in the left hand lane of my city
Slow down so I can walk this highway with you
Slow down let me walk it with you
Slow down, we all gotta slow
I wanna walk the highway with you, you and you and you
No I’m not yet married I got no ring on my hand
I got my heart beating for this sweet loving
Second hand dealing boy
I’m gonna love him the best way I can
I know I can
I’m a country girl in a city whirlpool
I’m pulling over man I’m gonna let you through
I’m living in the left hand lane of my city
Slow down so I can walk this highway with you
Slow down let me walk it with you
I don’t like gold and I don’t like pearls
I’m just your regular West Australian fisherman’s daughter
I’m a middle class folk singing guitar playin’ girl

12. _ Since I've Been Around
SINCE I’VE BEEN AROUND (written by Josh Cunningham)
Walking down the main street of the town where I was born
Looking at these things I’ve seen so many times before
I take a deep breath, smile and kick a stone along the ground
Been so long, since I’ve been around
There’s comfort in the way that everything still looks the same
People that I bump into; they call me by my name
It almost feels as though I never even left this town
Been so long, since I’ve been around
My girlfriend lived on Hawdon Street – man was she a sight
Sometimes I would sneak into her bedroom late at night
Now she’s not there – I’m told her family long since left the town
Been so long, since I’ve been around
Yeah many of my friends found some other place they’d rather be
But I still know of one good mate, she gonna keep me company
I think I’ll gonna call her up, we’ll go and paint the town
Been so long, since I’ve been around
I stopped on by her place, years ago I knew her well
‘Let’s go drink to old times at the Adelaide Hotel’
She said it’s twenty years now since they shut that old pub down
Been so long, since I’ve been around
Yeah but the hospital’s still standing, down over by the river shore
That’s the place where I took my first breath, so many years before
I take a deep breath now and feel my chest begin to pound
Been so long, since I’ve been around
Now I’m lying by the river feeling lazy in the shade
Children shout and splash about in water where I played
And I’m thinking I could stay a while, maybe settle down
Been so long, since I’ve been around
