Getting The Band Back Together lyrics - Cold Chisel
Davo's polishing an antique Strat
That no musician could afford
He's got himself a twin and a pork pie hat
He's got himself a new jazz chord
He rang up Matty but Matty's not sure
If his wife's gonna let him off the leash
He says, "Matty, I'm getting the band back together
I need ya, brother, capiche?"
All across town, the word's out
It's all everybody's talkin' about
And they are...
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together
The Mad Dog's rustled up a Tama kit
In a nitro sparkle shade o' red
He's booking 'em out, set 'em up for a hit
In a corner of the backyard shed
The boot shop's kitted out bassman Viv
With a bad pair of snakeskin shoes
His girlfriend's given him an apricot rinse
All the better for playing the blues
All that fire and all that belly
The bottom end's tighter than Byron and Shelley
And they are...
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together, yeah they're
Getting the band back together, you know they're
Getting the band back together
Life is good with the kids all gone
But it's all been too quiet, too long
And they are...
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together
Somewhere out in the great beyond
Biggie is singing forever
Even now that the weekend's coming
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together, getting the band
Getting the band back together, I wanna tell ya they're
Getting the band back together, yes they are
Getting the band back together, hey (get it back together)
Getting the band back together, hey, hey, hey, hey
Getting the band back together, oh, yeah
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together, together, baby
Getting the band back together
Getting the band back together, I said they're
Getting the band back together
Land Of Hope lyrics - Cold Chisel
Look east, look west
Look sharp, look best
Big car, big dick
Big ass, big lick
No style, no sass
No feel, no class
Lose hope, lose steam
Lost mind, and a lost dream
A land of hope, and a land of glory
A land of hate, and land of whoring
Sell your dreams, and sell your goals
Sell your love, and sell your soul
Last call, last chance
Last girl, last dance
Time please, time is money
Time's up, and time is coming
Plastic card, plastic world
Plastic tits on plastic girls
And name your poison, name your price
Change your mind, and change your life
A land of hope, and a land of glory
A land of hate, and land of whoring
Sell your dreams, and sell your goals
Sell your love, and sell your soul
A deep space, a deep green
A deep shit on every screen
Group think, a hate crime
Last drinks, it's closing time
A land of hope, and a land of glory
A land of hate, and land of whoring
Sell your dreams, and sell your goals
Sell your love, and sell your soul
Drive lyrics - Cold Chisel
I think I'll drive
Drive till I arrive
Don't know where I'm going to
Don't know where I've been
The passing lights that burn my eyes
Is the only thing I'm seeing
I think I'll drive
I think I'll drive
A little speed
That's what I need
Make my world a blur
Make me for, forget about her
I'm gonna hold the wheel
Till I forget the way I feel
Give it speed
Ah, give it speed
I'm peeling through the midnight
Aiming nowhere, driving blind
Nothing in the headlights
But the movie in my mind
Till the screaming of the engine
Leaves the scream that I'm imagining behind
Oh, no
Oh, I think I'll drive
Gasoline is all I need
The road in front of me
The only thing that sets me free
As far away as I can be
From him and her, not her and me
I think I'll drive...
Killing Time lyrics - Cold Chisel
I have no faith in you or me
There is no hope that I can see
We pray for help that never comes
Our fields are dry, no water runs
We curse the sun that burns the land
And slap the teeth that bite the hand
Of those who try, but don't succeed
All left to die, alone they bleed
It's killing time
It's killing time
It's killing time, too late to pray
Can't walk away
It's killing time, we made our choice
We have no voice
It's killing time
It's killing time
With lips pulled tight, the venom flies
You spit the words that make me cry
The clouds are black
There is no sky, no sun, no moon
There are no stars at night
I'm lost at sea, caught in a storm
Can't navigate, I'm so alone
Back to the wall, nowhere to turn
I will lash out, or I will burn
It's killing time
It's killing time
It's killing time
It's killing time, the dam is cracked
No turning back
It's killing time, I see it all
I start to fall
It's killing time, it's you or me
So, set me free
It's killing time
It's killing time
I Hit The Wall lyrics - Cold Chisel
I remember blue lagoons
I remember padded rooms
And fat lines and pillheads tryna
Load me up on sonic booms
And as the fuse of the night burned, I remember
Sucking down on a, a shotgun
Swinging a glass at a bartender
I hit the wall and the wall won
I hit the wall and the wall won
And next I know I'm in a, a cell block
In just a cowboy's helmet and a football sock
Two angels hanging up above
In uniforms and rubber gloves, I said
Darlin', ain't nobody's ever seen
The other side of where I've been
There's a wall out there and it's no fun
I hit the wall and the wall won
The sky'll tell ya if it's day or night
The Bible tells ya if it's wrong or right
The wall is there to tell ya slow down, son
I hit the wall and the wall won
He hit the wall and the wall won
I remember a quick chase
I remember a blast of mace
A ward somewhere, an intern too far
Bored to care stitchin' up my face
Darlin', ain't nobody's ever seen
The other side of where I've been
There's a wall out there and it's no fun
I hit the wall and the wall won
I hit the wall and the wall won
I hit the wall and the wall won
There's a wall out there saying slow down, son
I hit the wall and the wall won
Boundary Street lyrics - Cold Chisel
Mullet faces in the station
Ballerinas on a chain
Dancing bears with long eyelashes
Pretty bows and black moustaches
Jealous baby lost the party
Got a loaded forty-five
Put your lonely hand in mine
And we'll go where they're crossing live
Take me down to Boundary Street
Take me down to Boundary Street
I got friends who'd die to meet you
Maître d's who'll kill to seat you
Take me down to Boundary Street
Take me down to Boundary Street
I don't care what's goin' on
Down that street is where I'm gone
Little show all, got a catcall
Feathers on the football star
Leopards in designer labels
Laid across the roulette tables
Weekend users sliding outta
Limousines where we can hide
I'll be yours, and you'll be mine
And I'll strap you in for the ride
Come away with me, I'll show you
Hidden doors and where they go
Baby can't go on pretending
There'll ever be a happy ending
Take me down to Boundary Street
Take me down to Boundary Street
I don't care what's goin' on
Boundary Street is where I'm gone
Buried Treasure lyrics - Cold Chisel
Lookin' out over the reef from a heart marooned
Midnight on an infinite sea
Lookin' up above the lovelight lost
In all the sad constellations and the stars hangin' over me
I could sail away
And I think it once, but I never think it twice
I know I'll stay with my treasure here in the ice
'Cause the voyage from the night to the day
Is a journey I could measure alone
But I need someone to tear me away
From buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
There was a beautiful time that was given us
An isolated moment for two
I always wonder how a man can adjust
To the same isolation all alone getting over you
I could sail away
And I think it once, but I never think it twice
I know I'll stay with my treasure here in the ice
'Cause the voyage from the night to the day
Is a journey I could measure alone
But I need someone to tear me away
From buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Did I hear you say
Is it ever time for a man to throw the dice?
I know I'll stay with my treasure here in the ice
'Cause the voyage from the night to the day
Is a journey I could measure alone
But I need someone to tear me away
From buried treasure, buried bones
'Cause the voyage from the night to the day
Is a journey I could measure alone
But I need someone to tear me away
From buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
I need someone to tear me away
Buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Buried treasure, buried bones
Accident Prone lyrics - Cold Chisel
I remember her touch, the electrified air
Like a sweet Cohiba, forbidden and rare
But some men need what they never can own
I never stole nothin' that didn't come by
With the twisting fortunes of the accident prone
Accidental gunfire on an alien plain unknown
Accidental doorways in the afternoon rain
I'm accident prone
Yeah, I'm accident prone
I have seen what a bullet can do
They call me lucky, and it may be true
But I say, "No, I'm just accident prone"
Accidental contact with a foreigner's eyes alone
Accidental gunfire and a young man dies
I'm accident prone
Yeah, I'm accident prone
I may have pulled the trigger
I may have seen the flash
Maybe I hit the highway
Maybe we split the cash
Come ye who make the jury
Let fall the stone
What must be, will be
And we travel alone
Someday lyrics - Cold Chisel
Someday I'll be a better man
Someday I'm gonna change
Someday I'll know what's right and wrong
Someday I'll take the blame
Someday I'll see things how they are
Someday I'll face the truth
Someday I'll face up to the facts
Someday I'll call a truce
Someday I'll take it on the chin
And turn the other cheek
Someday I'll learn to bite my lip
Someday I'll let you speak
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
Someday I'll look you in the eye
Someday I'll see things straight
Someday I'll never tell a lie
No matter what's at stake
Someday when it's just you and me
Someday when we're alone
Someday I'll tell you I can see
The selfless love you've shown
Someday the words will all come out
Someday I won't hold back
Yeah, someday I'll tell you that I know
You've always had my back
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
Someday I'll be a better man
Someday I'm gonna change
Someday I'll know what's right and wrong
Someday I'll take the blame
Someday I'll finally thank you
For all that you have done
And hope that I'm not all too late
That something never comes
Someday I'll learn and take the strain
Someday I'll bend my back
Ah, someday you'll just walk away
Someday you won't look back
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
Someday I'll take it on the chin
And turn the other cheek
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
Someday I'll learn to bite my lip
Someday I'll let you speak
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
Someday I'll look you in the eye
Someday I'll see things straight
Someday
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
(Someday)
Someday never comes
You Are So Beautiful lyrics - Cold Chisel
You give me hope, pourin' right through my heart
You've got my big motor running, and we're ready to start
You are so beautiful, hard to believe
You say you're ready to ride with me
Kick off my shoes, I'm singing out in the dark
My love for you is older than the furthest star
You are so beautiful, hard to believe
You say you're ready to ride with me
And every goddam demon that ever possessed me, I remember
And every chance I get, I wanna set them free and forever
I hear the clock, I see the moon on the rise
My love for you like a river that never runs dry
You are so beautiful, when the day is done
Soul of a woman in the light of the sun
You are so beautiful, hard to believe
You say you're ready to ride with me
You are so beautiful in the light of the sun
Oh, so beautiful, let us be as one
