You won't get me They won't let you You might try to But be warned don't do You won't get me They won't let you I'm on the rocks Bash my head against a brick wall Trying to make a small hole I know your name I also know your game You can stake your claim with me, with you You won't get me, no way You can't have it You don't own me They have got me As far as I can see You won't get me They won't let you I'm on the rocks Bash my head against a brick wall Trying to make a small hole

Byron Bay Away Well I left the city heading north again. Want to smell that ocean want to feel that sand. Its only 10 hours and Im free again. Heading to Byron to find my soul again. Byron bay away I travel night and day To be where I belong. Byron bay away I travel night and day That feeling in my soul. Well the music played into the night With Lang & Bronson playing on there slides Sardine can ally as I stand I got that euphoric feeling in my soul again. Byron Bay away I travel night and day To be where I belong Byron bay away I travel night and day That feeling in my soul. Solo. Byron Bay away I travel night and day To be where I belong Byron bay away I travel night and day That feeling in my soul. Before I knew it my time was up Grab my bags feeling quiet days go by Back to good old Sydney to my grind One more year I’ll be where I belong. Byron Bay away I travel night and day To be where I belong Byron bay away I travel night and day That feeling in my soul

Days Gone By 04:25
Took a drive to the city To see what’s around Met some friends on the opera house steps It’s been a long while Jazz in the corner of a café bar Sun sets on the harbour Reminiscing about those younger years Oh we all had a laugh Chorus Oh how we miss, Oh how we love Those days gone by. by those days gone by by. Timmy Brought the Business I here it’s doing ok And Renee, she lost her man to the claws of the night Rob caught in the stress of a dead end job Calling for a new life Bill and lis still going strong Scotties floating on by Chorus Oh how we miss, Oh how we love Those days gone by by those days gone by by. Bridge Oh these days, are destine to be Oh these days, are destine to be Destine to be A day gone by. Solo Lot of time has passed now Since we’d all been together Busy life’s we lead Will it ever end? People change and there funny sometimes I guess that’s what life brings But deep down inside your heart You remember those younger years Chorus Oh how we miss, Oh how we love Those days gone by by those days gone by by. those days gone by by.

Gypsy Man 04:03
Well I’m a gypsyman Been almost everywhere Kissed a few and held on to their hearts I have jumped the coup Bang held up to take the loot I must be leaving here tonight Let me set the scene I was a rebel I was 17 Looking at life through the bottom of whiskey glass Opportunity knocks twice my friend The devil takes one and your on your own again Take my advice you should be leaving here tonight Fine women good times good friends guitars Bring me more bring me wine bring me women bring me more guitars Because it’s amazing I Can see at all these days I’ve been blinded by bad love I’ve seen their eyes and the gypsy smiles they hide I’ve seen the shadow that lie behind All the gyspys know Where all the Gypsy’s go Well here I am I am the gypsyman Well I’m a gypsyman Been almost everywhere Kissed a few and held onto their hearts

Baby just stay a while Baby you make me smile You are the answer to My loneliness through and through. Why Not Now Can’t you see I’m right? Please Stay A while It’s so early in the night Cause, My place is yours The time is right The world is ours tonight. Why is the time not right for you? Why is the time not right for you? Why Not Now Is the time not right? Don’t leave so soon It’s so early in the night Cause, My place is yours The time is right The world is ours tonight. Why is the time not right for you Why is the time not right for you. Why is the time not right for you Why is the time not right for you.

Give me Back my Name Give me back my name I’m not just a number You can’t track me like an animal I will fight this to the end Yeah I’m gonna fight it I’m gonna wake the neighbours I’m gonna tear your system down Till you Gimmie gimmie back Gimmie gimmie back Gimmie gimmie back my name Give me back my name I just wanna be myself I can’t stay here like this I’ll lose my sense of self Yeah I’m gonna fight it I’m gonna wake the neighbours I’m gonna tear your system down Till you Gimmie gimmie back Gimmie gimmie back Gimmie gimmie back my name Give me back my name Don’t treat me like a fool You take it I lose control You can’t take my life Just give it back to me I’m not a number in your file You can’t make me stay I’ll burn it down Just give ‘m to me I ain’t gonna wake up nameless You can’t take my name I’ll hunt you down Give me back my name You can’t make me stay here You’re not looking after me You’re gonna take the one thing I own

All Very Reasonable Sometimes I can’t quite decide which is better or worse But I’m hooked on your pleasure & pain You’ve taken everything I have to give And still you want more of me Don't leave a fragile mind in the midday sun (my father always said) Or tell me what I’ll find when the day is done Gotta find the answers to the questions that I pose It’s all very reasonable don’t you suppose I see you divin’ from a deep blue sky and what is it you’re chasin’? You see your prey without a hint of apprehension Then you’re gone on the wind yeah you’re gone on the wind Dartin’ and divin’ Don't leave a fragile mind in the midday sun (my father always said) Or tell me what I’ll find when the day is done I gotta find the answer to the questions that I pose It’s all very reasonable to me don’t you suppose I gotta find the answer to the questions that I pose It’s all very reasonable to me don’t you suppose

Secret World 04:20
Secret World Your secret world (is watching you) Your secret world (is listening) There are shadows in bright places The black hats hold us down It's all for the good of the nation Dangerous world Big brothers watching you (all day) So don’t leave a footprint Don’t believe the lies Don’t leave a footprint These are the times Dark suits and mirrored glasses Reflecting down disguising all we see
9.
Midlife Crisis Used to be a sports car now it’s hog With your fresh pressed jeans you look like a knob You ride a Harley which once was cool But it’s lost all its street cred ‘cause you’re such a tool Chorus Just a midlife crisis trying to regain your youth Just a midlife crisis ain’t that the truth Just a midlife crisis still chasing the chicks Just a midlife crisis you’re such a dick You ain’t the tough guy you’re trying to be Just a phoney weekend warrior with a business degree Trying to be an outlaw but you’re just like the rest Rebel without a clue in a cheap leather vest Chorus Ancient US iron with that god awful noise Give me a Honda with speed and poise You can keep your Harley with the leather and chrome I’ll ride my Honda and I’ll beat you home. Chorus
10.
Walks Alone 03:20
Walks Alone Three years, you’d think it a lifetime When it’s barely a drop in the ocean Ten minutes can pass by so quickly But it don’t take that long to die Walks alone, she walks alone, walks alone The stupidest question in the world Is the one that’s never asked for fear of embarrassment You can walk around forever wondering And die without knowing the truth One wave’s the same as the next But each one is different from the last No point in theorising prophecising Which one will take you to your death A pet’s a pet in some books mine included Some don’t even give a sideways look But 14 years in a dog’s life Would be like looking down the barrel to die
