1. _ Momma
She came up from the country with a smile for everyone
She left her blue horizon just to find another home
A lonely girl who'd travelled many days
A lonely heart that could not find a way
(chorus)
And she said momma, it's a hard life now you're gone
Momma, it's so hard to carry on
And i feel i'm a fool who lost it all
You used to make it all so very clear
That life must go on though the end is near
Oh momma, it's a sad and lonely life
A misty morning rider she came wandering through the hills
A wanderin soul appearin over rainy window sills
A loser in her heart, but in her face
A smile for everyone under god's grace
(chorus)
Midnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place
Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her face
A lady lost in nowhere but her stare
Leaves the world, her life to start somewhere
(chorus)

2. _ Kuiama
My my kuiama, she came in the morning
She smiled but the tears on her little face
Showed the pain that had been in that far off place
So sad, treated so bad
My my kuiama, don't break your heart tryin
To say how your ma and your pa passed away
And they left you to wander the ruin and decay
Real mean, that bullet machine
See here kuiama, now ten thousand miles
Is a long long way and you're here today
And you won't go back so you might say
Hello, how do you do
Kuia stop your cryin, there's no bombs a'fallin
No horsemen in the night a'ridin through your dreams and tearing at your life
Baby goodnight
No more silver rain will hit your ground
And no more guns will sound
And no more life be drowned
No more trenches where the soldiers lie
And no more people die
Beneath that big black sky
Wake up kuiama, i got somethin to tell you
It's just that i mean, well that is to say,
That i'm trying to explain but i'll start again,
For you, i must be true.
Kuia in this country, they got rules with no reason
They teach you to kill and they send you away
With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay
So cool, that no mercy tool
Kuia please believe me? i just couldn't help myself.
I wanted to run but they gave me a gun
And they told me the duty i owed to my fatherland.
I made my stand.
Kuia i just shot them, i just blew their heads open,
And i heard them scream in their agony
Kuiama she waits there for me
True blue, you saw it through.

3. _ Roll Over Beethoven
Gonna write a little letter gonna mail it to me local d.j.
It's a jumpin little record i want my jockey to play
Roll over beethoven, gotta hear it again today
My temperature's risin, the juke box's blowin a fuse
My heart's beatin a rhythm, singin out rhythm and blues
Roll over beethoven, they're rockin in two by two
Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
Roll it over, roll over beethoven, tell tchaikovsky the news
Early in the mornin i'm a givin you the warnin,
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle,
I ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over beethoven, tell tchaikovsky the news
She wiggles like a glow-worm, dances like a spinning top
She got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel and rock
Long as she got a dime, the music will never stop
Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
Roll it over, roll over beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
Roll over beethoven, roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven, roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?

4. _ From The Sun To The World (boogie No. 1)
Listen to me sister, i got news from the governor,
And he's heard people shouting from the towers in the city
While their babies grow in test tubes over night
Run and fetch the priest cos there's a light on in the building
And there's sounds blowin out in the music of the night
And we should try to get the people out alive
Movin 'cross the ocean with the flag of death a'flyin
The demon butcher pointin out the message on the tide
And the demon light a'sailin at his side
Stormin down the airwaves comes the protest and the prayin
And the love that shone down from the sun to world
No longer could support the life it gave

5. _ In Old England Town (boogie No. 2)
Down, down, you can see them all
Rising gaily to the top
Keep on rising babe you know you got a long drop
You better cling cos it's the done thing
Down, down, at the policemans ball
They're all dancing in a line
Keep on gruntin boys you know you're doin fine
Come quickly i've been strangled
Down, down, at the military
They're all marching round and round
Keep them boots shined and that still upper lip down
Ablution revolution
Down, down, at the launching pad
Giant phallus stands erect
Ten thousand tons of waste throb then eject
Look out space, we're gonna change our place
Down, down, in old england town
There was air and now there's smoke
Let's build more cars and drive away before we choke
Suddenly it's always night time
Down, down, at that nice trade fair
All the money gone astray
Let's inflate this price and float away
Just you and me and everyone...
