1. _ Yoke
I found the binding of the yoke
That connects us here, in this herd of hope
Escort me to your kingdom come
From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done
You stole so much, so much at times
Just being bad, like the books we read
The helplessness that you played upon
Was just tenderness, to disarm
She ushered in love, but it drove you mad
Not to have everything of your envisioning
She wandered in on the peace you lacked
Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had
Tell that story one more time for me
Of the baited fields just for the taking dear
Where you heard the hunter's call
But your discipline kept you from the fall
But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands
I'd shoot anything
And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right
So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight
And you hold your nightmares close from view
The horses going wild, under a breaking moon
There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride
Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here

2. _ Gone
Think I'll bag that trip for two
Pack it up to Kakadu
Honey, it's not for the weather
Lack of loving you
I got all this in between
Something I did not foresee
All the deals I made don't matter
If I can't just let you be
Gone again gone again
There ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
Walked in King's Cross for awhile
Gave a junkie girl a smile
We both traded in for danger
Or the company of strangers
She said all her family
Was at the Welfare Agency
Then she swindled my last twenty
For a kiss and some poetry
Gone again gone again
'Cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
If I don't make Kakadu
I'll be at the Rainbow Room
And I'll be courting some disaster
With the Melbourne wrecking crew
Honey all this is to say
That every dog don't got it's day
If we take the love we're given take the love
And we throw it all away
It's gone again it's gone again
'Cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
It's gone again it's gone again
'Cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again

3. _ War Rugs
War rugs in the hallway
Prayer rugs on the wall
Who's walkin' tall?
I should be kneelin'
Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave
Tattooed and hazed
Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all makin' a mark on it
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul you have in there
Young Egypt seized the moment
And brought that bastard down
You've got technology
And you've got archeology
We treated you like hunters
Until you kicked the goal
Now we're claimin' you for our team
'Cause what do we know?
Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all watchin' the video
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul you have in there
Soldier boy, oh, soldier girl
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave
Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all takin' it pass or fail
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul it takes to stand
For something bigger than
Myself...

4. _ Damo
Oh the boys of Dublin's Donaghmede
Come to hear their boxer sing
To tell the stories of their streets
To quell their suffering
They say let me go another round
And never take it laying down
'Cause in my heart I know
I'm strong enough to grow
Damo sing another song
For all the sons of fisticuffs
For the daughters of the truncheon
Damo sing a song of love
What do I know of Ireland
Except what made it here
Through the ports, into the hills
A whistle and a jig
They worked the fields, they worked the rails
And sang the songs of slaves
To keep the chains from binding on
To keep their bodies brave
Damo sing another song
For all the sons of toil and tug
For the daughters of the weary road
Damo sing a song of love
So gather round and bear this ground
While your brothers sweat and swing
Or hold each other for their life
In their love and in their rage
Sing of tribes and ties that bind
And sing yourself anew
Yeah the Dog of war, Lamb of God
The spirit is in you
Damo sing another song
For all the sons of fisticuffs
For the daughters of the truncheon
Damo sing a song of love
Damo sing another song
For all the sons of toil and tug
For the daughters of the weary road
Damo sing a song of love

7. _ John
Yeah when I go over yonder, I will see my mother
My sister and my father, but my brother is going to hell
Yeah they hung him from the gallows
As the sun turned red from yellow
And the crowd they heard him halting
And they sighed with much relief
The preacher asked him for any last words
My brother spit on to his clean shirt
And he smiled without redemption
And said this is one soul God don't need
Oh yes I loved him but I won't miss him
As he's burning and he's twisting
For his heartless dedication
To the devil and it's creed
Oh as a child we called him rotten
Till he was lonely and forgotten
And he revenged our constant jeering
Oh with his every word and deed
Oh yeah and for my contribution
Oh and the souls lack of retribution
I would ask the Lord's forgiveness on my very bended knee
Oh it's the tale of Johnny Rotten
Yeah who was lonely and forgotten
And it's the tale of my only brother
And it's the tale of one bad seed

9. _ Share the Moon
I can go one day without bawling
Two days without calling
Three days without missing
But a lifetime of no kissing you
Is something that I just can’t do.
I wish I could be there to share the moon
I got more back for the breaking
More callous for making
A lifetime for the aching
I got no need to run this battery down.
I’m just trying to get the stains out.
I wish I could be there to share the moon.
Hey la la
I’m gonna love to you til it hurts
I don’t mind if I do
Hey la la
I’m gonna love you til it works
I’ve got no mind to lose
There’s one trash heap burning
Fireflies are returning
Nightfall is softly chirping
One trailer light is staying on til dawn
I wonder who it’s waiting on.
Hey la la
I’m gonna love to you til it hurts
I don’t mind if I do
Hey la la
I’m gonna love you til it works
I’ve got no mind to lose

10. _ Feed and Water the Horses
Tell me dark heart of my deep sleep
Where the past drops in like unwanted guests
Rattling their chains of thought, shuffling their feet
Peering into things I thought I'd laid to rest
And for all I've left undone there's another dream to come
Once there were wars fought over spice and salt
And the stick of gold became the standard measure
Nothing much has changed in this modern age
And it won't until the pain's not worth the pleasure
And for all we've left undone
There's another war to come.
I want to feed and water the horses,
The course is long and dry
Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried
We may not deserve you, we'll come to serve you by and by
Feed and water the horses
Where they lie.
I miss the smell of ink on paper and it's morning pull
All the news comes via link now all so virtual
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to feel
The beginning of the end or reinvention of the wheel
And for all we've left undone
We are still evolution
I want to feed and water the horses,
The course is long and dry
Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried
We may not deserve you, we'll come to serve you by and by
Feed and water the horses
Where they lie.
I realize that the beast lie there in our plans
Peacefully sleeping, but faithfully keeping
They're ready for the burden man
But if you knew something (peacefully sleeping)
They'd take you to something (faithfully keeping)
You are dying for your burden man (they're ready for the burden man)
Wouldn't you need it? (Wouldn't you need it?)
Wouldn't you feed it? (Wouldn't you feed it?)
Wouldn't you praise it evermore?
Feed and water the horses
The course is long and dry
Can't do it alone oh no we can't although we've tried and tried and tried
We may not deserve you. We'll come to serve you by and by
Feed and water the horses where they lie.

11. _ Beauty Queen Sister
Everybody loves the beauty queen sister
But she always got the broken heart
'Cause she work hard to keep what God gave her
But the devil he's just pulling it apart
Hang on tight, hang on tight now
Mama's got a friend name monkey man
With a two-seater bike and a tattoo stand
He's gonna take me for that ride
He knows I've been losing ground most of my life
Hang on tight, hang on tight now
Daddy prayed so hard that Jesus came down and took him
Left me speaking in tongues and hungry for something
So I fed the family, I changed out the sparks
But every day I gained, another fell apart
Hang on tight now, hey little sister I dig it okay
Looking for the fountain of love where the wild heart reigns
And the knife draws blood and beauty is redeemed
But cherry and Dallas won't ever be the same
Pony watched Johnny die nothing gold can stay
And those street kids and beauty queens
They don't stand a chance so hang on tight monkey man
Says draw your picture give it some ink
Hear the needle whisper for all the broken hearts
And the passing fancies, pull the inside out, when you can
Hang on tight, hang on tight now

13. _ We Get To Feel It All
My, my how time flies first time I met you
Had to shade my eyes 'cause staring into the sun
Can make a girl blind now here we sit in a shady spot
Got what I wanted, and I want what I got
But through the will of my own I just found my way home
Here is what I learned about you
You set the sun and you hung the moon
Mid October or the month of June
Temperatures rise and fall we get to feel it all
Sometimes I can't tell you're open like a book
Or shut like a shell, but if I hold you to my ear
I can hear the whole world dark stories of a distant past
Our time created in a single blast
You like to laugh at me because I'm serious, serious
Yes it's true, but here is what I learned about you
You set the sun and you hung the moon
Mid October or the month of June
Temperatures rise and fall
We get to feel it all
We get to feel it all
We get to feel it all
We get to feel it all
Time waits for no one so I'm remembering that day in the sun
How I was thinking that you needed time to cool down
Circumstances make us tired and colder
That's my coat thrown around your shoulder
And I know you'll give it back to me if I need it I believe it
Here is what I learned about you
You set the sun and you hung the moon
Mid October or the month of June
Temperatures rise and fall
Here is what I learned about you
You set the sun and you hung the moon
Mid October or the month of June
Temperatures rise and fall
We get to feel it all
