No matter what I say or do
You take money, to put whatever
May be the opposite view
What you see, is what I am
I will always be, an honest man
Mr Crown Prosecutor, raise my hand
I can't say the same about you
Mr. Crown Prosecutor, go down now
I'll show you where your children play
The deep shit they get to play with
And the people that they've got to pay
I got caught, in a traffic jam
A girl on the street, with a chain of command
Goin' up through the city
To the government of the day
Mr. Crown Prosecutor, raise my hand
The hands of a fish so small
You know, if it wasn't so
I wouldn't be here at all
What you see, is what I am
I will always be, an honest man
Lost in the blind stupidity of it all
Mr. Crown Prosecutor, go down now
I'll show you where your children play
The deep shit they get to play with
And the people that they've got to pay
But Mr. Crown Prosecutor, if you look
You'll find where it tells it to ya in this book
How the vine by the well
Gotta branch out over the wall
The Things I Love In You lyrics - Cold Chisel
Sittin' on the corner drinkin' my beer
Told all the others happy new year
Told everybody some things
I knew
I knew
Told everybody don't cry
How this thing with you
Doesn't really matter any more
Never really mattered anyway
Only I do wonder how you'd feel
If it were you
In my shoes
Could you change, I wonder
If you knew
All the things I love in you
If I had a dollar for every time
I hung out on the corner doin' time
While you showed another through all
All the things I love
Could you change, I wonder
If you knew
All the things I love in you
Told all the others happy new year
Told everybody some things
I knew
I knew
Told everybody don't cry
How this thing with you
Doesn't really matter any more
Never really mattered anyway
Only I do wonder how you'd feel
If it were you
In my shoes
Could you change, I wonder
If you knew
All the things I love in you
If I had a dollar for every time
I hung out on the corner doin' time
While you showed another through all
All the things I love
Could you change, I wonder
If you knew
All the things I love in you
Baby's On Fire lyrics - Cold Chisel
Baby's on fire, it's a beautiful thing
Baby's on fire, it's beginning to sing
Baby's on fire, so imaginative
Nobody else gets to see it and live
Baby's on fire, the moonlight skin
Black and white cinema, outa Berlin
Black and white cinema, flooding inside
Baby's on fire in the submarine tide
Baby's on fire
And I
I'm in flames
I been workin' all day
Baby and I are gonna get it away
I been workin' all day, and all I know
Baby's on fire, the higher and higher we go
And I
I'm in flames
Baby's on fire, it's beginning to sing
Baby's on fire, so imaginative
Nobody else gets to see it and live
Baby's on fire, the moonlight skin
Black and white cinema, outa Berlin
Black and white cinema, flooding inside
Baby's on fire in the submarine tide
Baby's on fire
And I
I'm in flames
I been workin' all day
Baby and I are gonna get it away
I been workin' all day, and all I know
Baby's on fire, the higher and higher we go
And I
I'm in flames
Way Down lyrics - Cold Chisel
Somebody tell me
Where did I go wrong
Oh, what a fool am I
Sometimes
You can feel you don
't belong
Wanna die
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise
Somebody tell me
That you understand
Oh that I'm not alone
Sometimes
When you need a helpin? hand
Oh I know
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I see a light
Way down
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
I don't wanna go no more
Way down
Where did I go wrong
Oh, what a fool am I
Sometimes
You can feel you don
't belong
Wanna die
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise
Somebody tell me
That you understand
Oh that I'm not alone
Sometimes
When you need a helpin? hand
Oh I know
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I see a light
Way down
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise
Way down
I've been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
I don't wanna go no more
Way down
Bal - A - Versailles lyrics - Cold Chisel
Aliester Crowley
And Bar Shem Tov
Are lyin' in the alley
Too stoned to move
Them and Aristotle
Are playin' swy
For one tiny bottle
Of Bal-a-Versailles
Over the ocean
Over the sea
From out of east of Eden
Pre-B.C.
To Terra Incognito
Anno Domini
Hits the libido
Bal-a-Versailles
People say it's an animal thing
A whisper of alien air
People say you're a fool if you fall in love
I say yeah, yeah, yeah
Dogs are barking,
The caravanserai
Rolls on, through the night
Bal-a-Versailles
People say all the usual things
Talkin' and kissin' the air
People say you're a fool if you fall in love
I say yeah, yeah, yeah
Reason for living
Reason to die
Take it as given
Bal-a-Versailles
Dogs are barking,
The caravanserai
Rolls on, through the night
Bal-a-Versailles
And Bar Shem Tov
Are lyin' in the alley
Too stoned to move
Them and Aristotle
Are playin' swy
For one tiny bottle
Of Bal-a-Versailles
Over the ocean
Over the sea
From out of east of Eden
Pre-B.C.
To Terra Incognito

A whisper of alien air
People say you're a fool if you fall in love

Yakuza Girls lyrics - Cold Chisel
Well, its the last call at the fag end
Of the wrong bar at the bad end
Of the wrong side of a dog town
On a one way road that takes you down
From a shit creek, and back again
The doors swing open and they all come in
From the arse end of a sick world
A bus load of Yakuza girls
Yakuza girls, chicks of doom
Fanning out to cover the room
Smokin' Luckys, climbin the bar
Drinkin' saki from an old fruit jar
Yakuza girls, 12 o'clock high
Fishnets all the way to Hawaii
Playin' karioke and singin' along
With the key words of a lock'n'loll song
Well, ya get to see 'em all comin' through this place
Every household name then forgotten face
Every fucked up, low down, pin tucked, rewound
Siliconed, pillsucker has been that ever found
Jesus in the bottom of a bottle, Yeah
I reckon I'd seen it all, but I swear
I never seen this much potential romance since
Lovelace Watkins split his pants
Yakuza girls, climbin' the walls
Chewin' on gum, grabbin' my balls
And tellin' me to cough, seein' how far
They can pole dance off the end of the bar
Yakuza girls, doin' the dog
With a yo-yo in and outa the bog
Who's that haulin' on a rubber glove
Yakuza girls, lookin' for love.
Of the wrong bar at the bad end
Of the wrong side of a dog town
On a one way road that takes you down
From a shit creek, and back again
The doors swing open and they all come in
From the arse end of a sick world
A bus load of Yakuza girls
Yakuza girls, chicks of doom
Fanning out to cover the room
Smokin' Luckys, climbin the bar
Drinkin' saki from an old fruit jar
Yakuza girls, 12 o'clock high
Fishnets all the way to Hawaii
Playin' karioke and singin' along
With the key words of a lock'n'loll song
Well, ya get to see 'em all comin' through this place
Every household name then forgotten face
Every fucked up, low down, pin tucked, rewound
Siliconed, pillsucker has been that ever found

He Can't Believe It's Over With You lyrics - Cold Chisel
There's someone out there hangin' around
Mentioning your name all over town
Some old flame of yours
Someone you knew
And he can't believe it's over with you
He says that he is where you belong
You tell me you ain't seen him in so long
Maybe he's the fool
Maybe it's true
That he can't believe it's over with you
I may need to take him aside
See if you have anything to hide
Make it plain to him
What I will do
If he can't believe it's over with you
Whichever way it goes
I can easily explain it so he knows
How it is with you
These days
I can't walk away
That's not what I do
When he can't believe it's over with you
Mentioning your name all over town
Some old flame of yours
Someone you knew
And he can't believe it's over with you
He says that he is where you belong
You tell me you ain't seen him in so long
Maybe he's the fool
Maybe it's true
That he can't believe it's over with you
I may need to take him aside
See if you have anything to hide
Make it plain to him
What I will do
If he can't believe it's over with you
Whichever way it goes
I can easily explain it so he knows
How it is with you
These days
I can't walk away
That's not what I do
When he can't believe it's over with you
Angel In My Room lyrics - Cold Chisel
There's an angel in the shadows of my room
And she watches me when I'm all alone
When my sad heart is hurt and crying
That's when she comes to me
And she leads me home
If I close my eyes
And I take her hand
I can see you right there
Where my angel stands
Into the night when I'm missing you
I lay me down with the angel in my room
And in the shadows she stands alone
And she's waiting for me
When I'm coming home
Into the night when I'm missing you
I lay me down with the angel in my room
I see the tears in my baby's eyes
But in the distance I still hear her cry
And baby I'm longing but it passes by
When I hold you in my arms
Everything will be all right
If I close my eyes I can see her there
I can see you right there
Where my angel stands
Into the night when I'm missing you
I lay me down with the angel in my room
That's when I lay me down with the angel in my room
And she watches me when I'm all alone
When my sad heart is hurt and crying
That's when she comes to me
And she leads me home
If I close my eyes
And I take her hand
I can see you right there
Where my angel stands
Into the night when I'm missing you
I lay me down with the angel in my room
And in the shadows she stands alone
And she's waiting for me
When I'm coming home
Into the night when I'm missing you
I lay me down with the angel in my room
I see the tears in my baby's eyes
But in the distance I still hear her cry
And baby I'm longing but it passes by
When I hold you in my arms
Everything will be all right
If I close my eyes I can see her there
I can see you right there
Where my angel stands
Into the night when I'm missing you
I lay me down with the angel in my room
That's when I lay me down with the angel in my room
Never Stop Loving You lyrics - Cold Chisel
Well it's taken so long to reach the time
Where we can go on or leave it behind
For better or worse so easy to say
But I choke on the words as you push me away
And every move along the way
Has moved us each in separate ways
And I can feel there's something
Going wrong
Oh I'll never stop loving you this life
Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Well I look in your eyes You never look back
All the sparkle is gone there's nothing left
But the black
What's the use of holding back
The best defence is still attack
And don't give up before the battle's
Won
[CHORUS]
I'll never stop loving you this life
Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Can't turn and run when I can fight
I'll never stop loving you this life.
Where we can go on or leave it behind
For better or worse so easy to say
But I choke on the words as you push me away
And every move along the way
Has moved us each in separate ways
And I can feel there's something
Going wrong
Oh I'll never stop loving you this life
Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Well I look in your eyes You never look back
All the sparkle is gone there's nothing left
But the black
What's the use of holding back
The best defence is still attack
And don't give up before the battle's
Won
[CHORUS]
I'll never stop loving you this life
Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Can't turn and run when I can fight
I'll never stop loving you this life.
Red Sand lyrics - Cold Chisel
Way out back of the Coolgardie
Round the turn of the century
Two riders came out of the west
They were lookin' for the colour of gold
Trading on an old red blanket
Took 'em in a young boy
Passed him on to a pearl lugger
That was Java bound outta Roebuck Bay
The crew were mainly Manila men
And the young boy must have known
He'd never be back now
Down in the red sand
Manila-man got the machete
Manila-man cut him down cold
Die with the Balander boss on a lugger
Could not have been more
Than twelve years old
Looking out on a clear sky
As the sun beats down on her head
A mother alone
Fails to understand
And as the long years go by
Just an old red blanket to dry
The tears for the son
Who'll never be home
Down in the red sand
Round the turn of the century
Two riders came out of the west
They were lookin' for the colour of gold
Trading on an old red blanket
Took 'em in a young boy
Passed him on to a pearl lugger
That was Java bound outta Roebuck Bay
The crew were mainly Manila men
And the young boy must have known
He'd never be back now
Down in the red sand
Manila-man got the machete
Manila-man cut him down cold
Die with the Balander boss on a lugger
Could not have been more
Than twelve years old
Looking out on a clear sky
As the sun beats down on her head
A mother alone
Fails to understand
And as the long years go by
Just an old red blanket to dry
The tears for the son
Who'll never be home
Down in the red sand
Pretty Little Thing lyrics - Cold Chisel
Pretty little thing there's a smoky moon
Pretty little thing up between the dunes
Pretty little thing there's a place I know
Pretty little thing, lets go
I say yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
Pretty little thing, I want you
Pretty little thing the way you stagger around
Like Bambi gotten lost on a handful o' mandies
An' all o' these hillbillies hangin' around
To see if you can handle it, and fillin' their immediate plans with you
Well they don't know jack shit and for all o' your
Juiced up, anyone's, user pays little act
You know you ain't never gonna fall
And there ain't no one o' them'll ever get to lay their hands on you
I say yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah,
Pretty little thing when you need a ride
Pretty little thing I got the wheels outside
I say yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah,
Pretty little thing you know I can't afford the time
I get easily bored
Pretty little thing underneath what's real o' that
Pretty little thing for the taking deal, well
Pretty little thing you know I just might feel like
Goin' for a ride in the moonlight and doin' what I can for you
Pretty little thing up between the dunes
Pretty little thing there's a place I know
Pretty little thing, lets go
I say yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
Pretty little thing, I want you
Pretty little thing the way you stagger around
Like Bambi gotten lost on a handful o' mandies
An' all o' these hillbillies hangin' around
To see if you can handle it, and fillin' their immediate plans with you
Well they don't know jack shit and for all o' your
Juiced up, anyone's, user pays little act
You know you ain't never gonna fall
And there ain't no one o' them'll ever get to lay their hands on you
I say yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah,
Pretty little thing when you need a ride
Pretty little thing I got the wheels outside
I say yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah,
Pretty little thing you know I can't afford the time
I get easily bored
Pretty little thing underneath what's real o' that
Pretty little thing for the taking deal, well
Pretty little thing you know I just might feel like
Goin' for a ride in the moonlight and doin' what I can for you
So Hard lyrics - Cold Chisel
They're so hard
Women, that is
So hard
And all that I ever know
Of you
Is the damage you can do
And it breaks the other way, I know
It's so hard
For so long
You were the one
For so long, now
Anyone who denied
Your way
Had to play with the two of us
Now I feel that's begun to change
And it's so hard
I believe
There's a restlessness growin' in you
And I feel the same
I dunno if there's a day comin' soon
That'll find us alone
Or if that wouldn't be such a bad thing
All I know
Of you
Is the damage you can do
And it breaks the other way, I know
It's so hard
Women, that is
So hard
And all that I ever know
Of you
Is the damage you can do
And it breaks the other way, I know
It's so hard
For so long
You were the one
For so long, now
Anyone who denied
Your way
Had to play with the two of us
Now I feel that's begun to change
And it's so hard
I believe
There's a restlessness growin' in you
And I feel the same
I dunno if there's a day comin' soon
That'll find us alone
Or if that wouldn't be such a bad thing
All I know
Of you
Is the damage you can do
And it breaks the other way, I know
It's so hard
Water Into Wine lyrics - Cold Chisel
On the last wave of summer
I lost my soul to you
The last wave of summer
I lost it all to you
Every thing has a time
This I know is true
I could live foreverCity papers blow around me
As the mornin' hits the sky
On the ocean ships are waitin' high
So am I
City sweeper goes around me
He don't need no reason why
If I don't seem in a hurry now
I've arrived
Come on baby won't you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
How can I hold back the tide
Baby meet me on the corner
When you hear that whistle blow
If I don't seem like I oughta
The one you used to know
Come on baby wont you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
How can I hold back the tide
I'm on high ground
Put this weight down
Of one thing you can be sure
On the ocean ships are sailin'
But I don't need them anymore
Come on baby won't you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
How can I hold back the tide
Come on baby won't you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion like an ocean
Turn this water into wine
This perfect day with you
There's a cold winter comin'
I can feel the change
It's the last wave of summer
We'll ever see again
Lets ride...
There's a cold winter coming
Can you feel the change
It's the last wave of summer
We'll ever see again
I lost my soul to you
