I've wasted twenty years and way too many days
They've turned their back on me in oh so many ways
But now I've met a girl who is so nice to me
I'm sure that she'll belong to me
I know that girls will lie to get another man
I try to stay away from those girls if I can
But now I've met a girl who is so nice to me
I'm sure that she'll belong to me
The other girls have walked away
But now they'll listen to me say
That Daphne she will listen this time around
Rebecca made me one from two
And Sally made me feel so blue
But Daphne she will listen this time around
Those girls they beat me up and made me wanna cry
Why I stayed with them so long I really don't know why
But now I spy a girl, yes that is what I see
I know that she'll belong to me
The other girls have walked away
But now they'll listen to me say
That Daphne she will listen this time around
Rebecca made me one from two
And Sally made me feel so blue
But Daphne she will listen this time around
But now I've found a girl that is so nice to me
I know that she'll belong to me
The other girls have walked away
But now they'll listen to me say
That Daphne she will listen this time around
Rebecca made me one from two
And Sally made me feel so blue
But Daphne she will listen this time around
Yes Daphne she will listen this time around

Chill (Live)

The air begins to chill
As the snow falls down the back of my neck
I tried to make you mine
But now I know I’ve made yet another mistake
My skin is turning blue
My eyes are open but there is nothing to see
I tried to ask you out
For I thought there was no one but you and me
But you said no and now I’m feeling sad
Yes, you said no, this is a feeling I’ve never had
My face is turning pale
I close my eyes and see your pretty face appear
I’m feeling oh so down
You took my picture of life, gave it a great big smear
But you said no and now I’m feeling sad
Yes, you said no, this is a feeling I’ve never had
You said no and now I’m feeling sad
Yes, you said no, this is a feeling I’ve never had
The air begins to chill
As the snow falls down the back of my neck
I tried to make you mine
But now I know I’ve made yet another mistake
Yes, you said no and now I’m feeling sad
Yes, you said no, this is a feeling I’ve never had
Oh, you said no, I do not understand
Oh, you said no, I do not understand

Standing in the pouring rain
Everything is just the same
I was so sad, but now I’m glad
That I’m coming home to see you again
Visa checks and passports stamps
Small cars and electric lamps
There is no room, but very soon
I’ll be coming home to see you again
No walls could block the love between us
No blockade could ever tear us apart
No guard could break the bond that we have always had
Oh no it can’t
Oh no it can’t
Soon I will be coming home
To the place I’ve always known
My little town, how I’ve been down
But I’m coming home to see you again
No ocean halts the loving feeling
No mountain could stop the sing and dance
No lake could the bond that we have always had
Oh no it can’t
Oh no it can’t
Standing in the pouring rain
Everything is just the same
I was so sad, but now I’m glad
That I’m coming home to see you again
Yes I’m coming home to see you again
Standing in the pouring rain
Everything is just the same
Standing in the pouring rain
Everything is just the same at the Canadian border crossing

I can see them in the school, in the streets
I can see them holding hands, kissing cheeks
And I wonder what it would be like to be them
I can sense them, many words, little sounds
I can sense them, tender lips on the mouth
And I wonder what it would be like to be loved
I wish I had a lover
Who'd take me by the hand
To whom I'd tell my secrets
And she would understand
I wish I had a lover
But she has not come
I can hear them going out on their dates
I can hear them, beating hearts, checking rates
And I wonder what it would be like to be saved
I wish I had a lover
Who'd take me by the hand
To whom I'd tell my secrets
And she would understand
I wish I had a lover
Who'd take me by the hand
To whom I'd tell my secrets
And she would understand
But she has not come

I Can't Sleep (Live)

I can't sleep, and I know it
Thoughts are swimming in my brain
I can't sleep, and I've shown it
I'm not happy, not in pain
I am writing this song on paper
As a light shines from my room
I can't sleep
I am scribbling this song because I can
I can't sleep, I am thinking
But into a wall I have just ran
It is ten'o'clock at night
And I should be fast asleep
But instead I'm sitting here and writing this song
I'm licking the final stub of my pencil and trying to sing along
My eyelids have been to close
The spirit of the song just rose
But I can't sleep
I am scribbling this song because I can
I can't sleep, I am thinking
But into a wall I have just ran
It is ten'o'clock at night
And I should be fast asleep
I can't sleep
Yes, instead I'm sitting here and writing this song
I'm licking the final stub of my pencil and trying to sing along
My eyelids have been to close
The spirit of the song just rose
But I can't sleep, and I know it
Thoughts are swimming in my brain
I can't sleep, and I've shown it
I'm not happy, not in pain
I am writing this song on paper
As a light shines from my room
I can't sleep
I can't sleep
I can't sleep

In the midnight hour
People will stop and stare at you
They will wonder why you're up so late at night
In the midnight hour
If they know you are your age
They will stiffen and think that something is not right
So I say you should go home tonight
So I say you should go home tonight
In the solemn hour
All the fights are breaking out
That's because they have been spending to many dimes
In the solemn hour
All the lights are going out
That's although they have been flickering for some time
So I say you should go home tonight
So I say you should go home tonight
Go home where it's safe and warm
Get away from the great big swarm
Of fireflies that surround your head
If the giants come you'll wind up dead
So go climb into your bed
Or something awful will happen to you instead
In the midnight hour
People will stop and stare at you
They will wonder why you're up so late at night
In the midnight hour
If they know you are your age
They will stiffen and think that something is not right
So I say you should go home tonight
So I say you should go home tonight
So I say you should go home tonight
So I say you should go home tonight

How Sweet (Live)

I met her first day back at school
She spoke real nice and she acted cool
And her long brown hair it really didn't end
She came from Parnell or Devonport
I was sure I’d seen her face before
Then I realized she looked like my old friend
But when I saw her working with all the cooler boys
I knew I couldn’t get her
But I could not get over how sweet she is
How sweet she is
I hoped she’d come sit by my side
With the hazel eyes she couldn’t hide
And the shiny, curly bracelet on her wrist
We would have worked together very well
Our relationship would have been so swell
And my life would have broken through the fog and mist
But when I saw her working with all the cooler boys
I knew I couldn’t get her
But I could not get over how sweet she is
How sweet she is
But when I saw her working with all the cooler boys
I knew I couldn’t get her
But I could not get over how sweet she is
How sweet she is

Someone's out there
He's crying underneath the tree of pain
It's a shame
Someone's out there
They are not leaving the bubble that is his domain
They've got no brains
But I bet you've heard he likes to dance
And that when he sees you he's in a trance
And so I'm asking you
To go out and find that someone new
Someone's calling
There's no-one left around and so he's free
An opportunity
Someone's calling
He needs a hand to hold
There's doom no glee
That's how he has been
But I bet you've heard he likes to dance
And that when he sees you he's in a trance
And so I'm asking you
To go out and find that someone new
But I bet you've heard he likes to dance
And that when he sees you he's in a trance
And so I'm asking you
To go out and find that someone new
But I bet you've heard he likes to dance
And that when he sees you he's in a trance
And so I'm asking you
To go out and find that someone new
Someone's out there
Someone's out there
Someone's out there
