LAST MAN ON EARTH

Woke up
and I’m in a world with nothing in it
just the ground and distant boundaries of sound
which scare me and almost drive me mad.

She used
to say “there’s a lot more than just you”,
but I wouldn’t be as sure now,
I could really think she’s wrong now
and I do,
it seems there’s no one to disprove.

I’m son of
futurists, science, skyscrapers and high speed.
I’ve grown from
Bradbury, Orwell and Frank Lloyd Wright’s seeds
but I’m tired
and I can hardly sleep,
’cause I’m keeping too many dreams
and I’ve got no space in me.

Hey folks!
Well, Dylan was right after all…
I’m the last man on this planet standing
and violently falls the atomic rain
down on me, it burns in my veins
but there’s no one left to blame.

And son of
punks and beboppers, Lennon – McCartney,
belong to
ENIAC, Warhol, Newton and Darwin
but I’m tired
and I can hardly sleep,
those dreams I had I just don’t think
they’re goin’ to go and let me be.

 

LET IT FLOW

Let it flow…
Come on let it flow through time and space.

 

BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Sometimes I don’t feel like it’s my mind,
I don’t feel like it’s me at all,
acting like I’m supposed to
and not like I should.

You can pray for things to come,
for sun and rain,
I don’t know
what it’s gonna be tomorrow,
well… who does?

Move on,
days pass standing in a row,
they go and go and go and what for?
One more
and it’s as useless as the day before
so why don’t you come and save me?

Last night I dreamt I lost my teeth again,
they were shining like gems in my hand
and though I was scared I stared at them,
then I lost my soul.

You can pray for things to come,
for sun and rain,
I don’t know
what we’re gonna feel tomorrow,
well… who does?

Move on,
days pass standing in a row,
we waste our time and time wastes us.
Come on,
take me now or let me go,
is it so hard to say goodbye?
Hold me now.

Move on,
days pass standing in a row,
they go and go and go and what for?
One more,
you could heal me if you wanted to,
really, are these the best days of our lives?

Hold me now.

 

HAMLET & I

Australia is the place,
there is nowhere else I’d rather wanna be.
My life is someone else’s,
won’t you just take me out of here?

My good friend Hamlet’s crumbling,
he’s been tortured by the same doubts for three years
He says he’s feelin’ kinda lost and sad
I can’t help him I just pretend
and he sings

blue sea
golden beach
big waves
great sky
a girl’s kiss
no clouds
but here we are all the time

I am the Rock.
Well, let them sing my song,
let me sing my song
and I sing

blue sea
golden beach
big waves
great sky
a girl’s kiss
no clouds
here we are all the time

here we are

 

DANAE

Wonder if the birds
wonder if the birds
sometimes feel tired
of their wings.
Everything gets worn,
I don’t believe it though,
it can’t be,
not to me.

And you’ll find me there
where reality’s been shaded,
I’ll be what remains
of your dreams when they’ve just faded,
and I guess that’s my fate.
I’ll make slivers of myself,
I’ll make slivers of myself,
I’ll make slivers of myself
then I’ll be golden rain.

What if we woke up
what if we woke up
one fine morning
and walked away.
Like we weren’t born,
like we didn’t long
for one more day
or need to stay.

And we’d know it’s grace
‘cause it couldn’t be any better,
then we’d understand
what we meant in all those letters,
but I can’t change our fate.
We are sea waves in a shell
we are sea waves in a shell,
we are sea waves in a shell,
let it be golden rain.
