Blue Flame lyrics - Cold Chisel

Love burns like a blue flame
A blue flame, a blue flame
Love burns like a blue flame
How can I be free

Love burns like a blue flame
Through the night, your name
Still burns like a blue flame
How can I be free

How can I be free
Wandering alone
All night long the way I do
Wherever you are tonight
How can I make you see
The torch I’m carrying for you
Still burns

(Love burns, still burns,
still burns like a blue flame...)

How can I be free
When everywhere I go
The word is you have been untrue
How can I be free
When everybody knows
The torch I’m carrying for you
Still burns

(Love burns, still burns
still burns like a blue flame...)

"No Plans" (2012)

No Plans lyrics - Cold Chisel

I’m standing in the sun, smoking a cigarette, no plans
I’m a primate
I feel no pain got no i-phone
Pluggin’ into my brain I’m hangin’ alone
In the sun, smoking a cigarette, no plans

Yeah fuck you!
I’m just standing on the corner, smokin’, taking in the wider view
I’m on location I got rivers of the dead
Heading down to the station I’m thinkin’ about goin’ back to bed
‘Cause I can, no plans

If I had a plan I’d take it down and hock it
Then someone else’d own my time
Then I’d be polishing another man’s rocket
Instead a hangin’ here, looking for a rhyme

In the sun, smoking a cigarette, watching the traffic jam up
Thinkin’ about gettin’ me a black coffee in a take-away cup
Maybe tippin’ in a little medicine
From what I got hidden in a paperbag
Standing in the sun, smoking a cigarette, no plans

[solo]

If I had plans I’d be tempted to sell ‘em
Then someone else’d own my time
Then I’d be working on another man’s plans
I’d never get to pay for the crime, to tell him

Shut the fuck up!
Don’t ever let ‘em catch you talkin’ to yourself
Let alone in rhyme
I’m standing in the ruins, looking at the end
Of all mankind, leaning back again
In the sun, smoking a cigarette, no plans

Yeah I’m standing in the ruins, looking at the end
Of all mankind, leaning back again
In the sun, smoking a cigarette, no plans.

Everybody lyrics - Cold Chisel

Everybody wants to be a wannabe
Living in a limousine
Everybody wants to be a tragedy
In a supermarket magazine

Everybody wants to be famous
Everybody wants more things
Everybody longs to feel the pain
That a whole lotta money’s gonna bring

Everybody wants their name on the guest list
Everybody wants to get in free
Everybody wants complete fidelity
From two or three lovers simultaneously

Everybody wants to be an individual
Everybody else does too
All I wanna be is idiot free
And outta here with you

Everybody wants to have children
No-one wants to hang around
Everybody wants the world to cry
When they’re lying in the cold cold ground

Everybody wants the ideal body
Waiting when they get back home
Whether that’s the one in Shanghai, London
New York City or the villa in Rome

Everybody wants to be an individual
Everybody else does too
All I wanna be is idiot free
And outta here with you

Everybody thinks they might have been kidnapped
And examined in a U.F.O.
Everybody’s locked into too much hock
To ever think about what they don’t want you to know

And still they’re gunna be an individual
Everybody else is too
All I wanna be is idiot free
And outta here with you

All For You lyrics - Cold Chisel

I get home and clean up, put on my best shirt
Put on my good shoes
My arms are hard from what I do all day
And it’s all for you, all for you

As I drive over by the steeple, by the hill
The rain is gone, the night is new
The constellations are coming out again
And it’s all for you, all for you

It’s all for you there are songs in the world
I’m singing softly as I drive
It’s all for you, cause you’re the only girl
And I’m young again
And it feels so good to be alive

I’ll take you out, we’ll find a place to eat
Somewhere small, with a view
And later on we’ll go dancing if you like
All for you, for you

The old anger has given way
To clear eyes and open hands
I’m getting stronger with each new day
Cause now I understand

It’s all for you there are songs in the world
I’m singing softly as I drive
It’s all for you, cause you’re the only girl
And I’m young again
And it feels so good to be alive

HQ454 Monroe lyrics - Cold Chisel

You tell me that you’re leaving me
For someone you believe to be
Devoted just to you and you alone

Well goodbye baby, you know I’ll
Be thinkin’ of you only while
I get my Chevy motor fully blown

When you said I had to choose between
This muscle car and you, my queen
There was only one way that could ever go

I used to get home when I could
But there was nothing there as good
As when I light the nitro on my
HQ454 Monroe

She got fuelie heads, a tunnel ram
Roller rockers, lumpy cam
A seated seta new L34’s

Gotta new four hundred Hydra shift
Simmons wheels, nine inch diff
Bridgestone Eagers, twelve inch just because

She’s got four a colour, four a clear
She’s lookin’ better year by year
And unlike you tonight she’s riding low

So baby its goodbye
You could never get me high
Like when I light the nitro on my
HQ454 Monroe

Well baby if I had to guess
I’d say your man is more or less
The figment of an overheated dream

The kinda thing a girl like you
Can fantasize to get you through
And rectify your battered self esteem

I’ll bet he comes to get you in
Some shopping trolley kinda thing
That gets you where you’re going nice and slow

Well off you go that’s fine
The pleasure’s all mine
When I light the nitro on my
HQ454 Monroe

Dead And Laid To Rest lyrics - Cold Chisel

How many torments
I’ve had in my time?
Was looking for love
By I was too blind
I stepped in the circle
To play out the game
But all that I offered
Just turned out the same

A little bit more a little bit less
Deeper in love and deeper in debt
I look at the stars that I cannot give
Without some feeling I just can’t live
Wake and remember that no one is blessed
Now I know the truth
Is dead and laid to rest

No sound but a river
That run’s from my heart
It flows from a mountain
Then tears me apart
Will there come a season
That I will not weep?
I prayed like you wanted
But it all felt too cheap

A little bit more a little bit less
Deeper in love and deeper in debt
I look at the stars that I cannot give
Without some feeling I just can’t live
Wake and remember that no one is blessed
Now I know the truth
Is dead and laid to rest

Sometimes I am frightened alone in the dark
You know I can’t hide it,
I’ve been waiting until the hurting starts

A little bit more a little bit less
Deeper in love and deeper in debt
I look at the stars that I cannot give
Without some feeling I just can’t live
Wake and remember that no one is blessed
Now I know the truth
Is dead and laid to rest

Missing A Girl lyrics - Cold Chisel

Looking through the tarmac rain
At the rows of giant birds
They’re all feeding at the gates,
There are tails from all over the world

A million people in between
Hurry by the TV screens
And I just sit here missing a girl

Cuppa coffee, airport bench
Carry on, and me
Something messed up my connection
To where I want to be

Something happened, the line dropped out
Something she don’t wanna talk about
And I just sit here missing a girl

Overhead the speakers tell me
One more delay
I hear the numbers
But my heart’s a million miles away

She made it clear we could still be friends
But she won’t be there to meet me at the other end
And I just sit here missing a girl

She made it clear,
I try to see it through these tears
I know it’s true
And I just sit here missing a girl

Too Late lyrics - Cold Chisel

Got the news
Just today
Somebody told me
To get here right away
Said you were hurtin’
Said you were low
Couldn’t get a single friend
On the telephone
But it’s . . .
Too late too late too late for love
Too late too too late to start again
Too late to hope for
Some kind of . . happy end
And it was
Too long too long too long ago
These healing years go by so slow
They don’t talk to me
Don’t offer no
Means to an end . . My friend

On and on the lazy river flows
Stretching out beneath the burning sun
Here we are standing in the road
Each about to go our separate ways
Each about to go our separate ways

I Gotta Get Back On The Road lyrics - Cold Chisel

There’s a lone jet-trail west of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
A one-pump roadhouse, late afternoon
My time is over here, I gotta go

I gotta get back on the road
Finish up and pay
There’s nothing here as good as a girl I know
A thousand miles away
I gotta get back on the road
To where I want to be
I won’t see her till I deliver my load
By the light of another day

Outside the highway is parallel
To that stroke of chalk above
As far as I can tell

There are two reasons come to mind
Keep a good man on the run
There’s always some complication left behind
Somewhere, one day, I’ll find the other one

I gotta get back on the road…

Outside the highway waits, another year
Fades and dissipates high in the stratosphere

There’s a lone jet-trail west of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
A one-pump roadhouse, late afternoon
My time is over here, I gotta go

I gotta get back on the road…

Our Old Flame lyrics - Cold Chisel

It’s the eyes that give the game away
As I come through the door
Of a steakhouse off the highway
And I remember years before
Those same eyes, only younger
More innocent somehow
And I wonder about your situation now

Are you married, are there children
Did you ever settle down
With that psychopathic boy
You failed to mention last time round
Or is there just a lonely room
Full of poetry
And lots of mutilated dolls that look like me

Our old flame
Our old flame
When you look at me, will you see
The man that I became
Or will you see the boy I was
See me by the light of our old flame
Our old flame

Pretty soon you’ll cross the room
To take my order down
And recognize the man with whom
You briefly hung around
Am I gonna catch a sign
Of panic in your heart
Like the panic that I’m feeling now in mine

Our old flame
Our old flame
When you look at me, will you see
The man that I became
Or will you see the boy I was
See me by the light of our old flame
Our old flame

This Day lyrics - Cold Chisel

I’m gonna find a way to make this day
The best one so far
It didn’t happen yesterday
Hangin’ in the bar

I rang someone from long ago
Someone from a situation
Long forgotten, better left alone

If you believe in love, you leave the door ajar
I’m gonna find a way to make this day
The best one so far

I’m gonna find a way to blow away the rain
It didn’t happen yesterday
I couldn’t face the train

All around, the office crowd
Filled the city, talking loud
Off their face, I slipped away alone

I wandered home, the streets were empty
As they often are
I’m gonna find a way to make this day
The best one so far

I’m gonna find a way to turn this world around
Find a way to make it through,
And not go down

If you believe in love, that’s the morning star
I’m gonna find a way to make this day
The best one so far

If you believe in love, you leave the door ajar
I’m gonna find a way to make this day
The best one so far

If you believe in love, that’s the morning star
I’m gonna find a way to make this day
The best one so far.

Summer Moon lyrics - Cold Chisel

Driving the nightshift again
Driving the nightshift again
The times I’ve rolled this line, this same old
Long headed East double lane

Driving these nightshifted eyes
Driving these nightshifted eyes
To light my way from midnight out to Hay
There’s big summer moon on the rise

Puts me in a mind, of once upon a time
A hall above the beach when I was young, it was
Too many years, too far behind
Old piano, saxophone and drum

And hanging out over the sea
That same summer moon laid for me
A road of light on out into the night
A highway to where I could be

If ever I can find that innocence of mind
The wonder in that younger set of eyes
I’ll get it on the road, the rhythm of the line
The wheeling of the desert where it flies

Come on roll up that line baby roll
Light up these nightshifted eyes
Speed my way from midnight out to Hay
Big summer moon on the rise

Speed my way from midnight out to Hay
Big summer moon on the rise

The Horizon lyrics - Cold Chisel

The horizon is wider than it used to be
I ain’t the boy you knew
But on a clear day, I can see
All the way to you
All the way to you

When you’re running blind
From promises broken and re-made
Then broken again
You got no way home
Nothing but the smell of burning bridges in the rain

When I look back now
I see a young man riding on
A one way rail going down
Only holding on
Riding his addiction into
Each new lonely town

The horizon is wider than it used to be
I ain’t the boy you knew
But on a clear day, I can see
All the way to you
All the way to you

I hit the railhead
One night in hell
And even now I
I dunno why I
Looked across at the gaming room
In a cheap hotel
And somehow walked on by
Somehow walked on by

Have you ever seen the western sky
As the sun goes down
Turning indigo to grey
It’s enough to make a man believe
That maybe one more chance could come my way
Maybe one more chance could come my way

The horizon is wider than it used to be
I ain’t the boy you knew
But on a clear day, I can see
All the way to you
All the way to you.

I Got Things To Do lyrics - Cold Chisel

I got things to do
I don’t want to
Give me way more time to spend with you
Honey when you’re gone
You’re gone too long
It sure gets lonely when you’re gone away

If you hear me cry
Your name in the night
Baby I’m just tryin’ to find your welcome light
Well there’s only one
You’re thinkin’ of
It sure gets lonely when you’re gone away

My work is done, this is my time
And there’s someone I need to know
Maybe one day we’ll find
We won’t have no need to go

[solo]

My work is done, this is my time
And there’s somewhere I need to go
Maybe one day we’ll find
We won’t have no need to go

I got things to do
I don’t want to
Give me way more time to spend with you
Honey when you’re gone
You’re gone too long
It sure gets lonely when you’re gone away

I got things to do today
