LOVE ME TINDER
VERSE 1
There’s no one new around you means that no one else has found you
Means that no one else on Tinder likes your face
I’ve done a lot of typing and I’ve done a lot of swiping
But I’m not quite sure that Tinder is the place
I open up my radar, if there’s someone new around me
‘cause I’m looking if there’s someone I can catch
Your eyes are shining bright, so I swipe you to the right
My screen is full of hearts, we have a match
CHORUS
I’m in app based love
Oh I’m in MacBook love
App based love with all the pretty people I have seen
I’m in App based love
I’m in Tinder love
App based love, I’m fallin’ for a picture on my screen
VERSE 2
I find you out of Facebook and I go and have a good look
To see what kind of person you may be
You’re liking what I’m liking and you have a page on hiking
And I’m hoping that you might have noticed me
I’m looking at your wall, clicking anything at all
And I’m writing little comments on your posts
You’re checking out my photos and you’re sending me emojos
And you’re writing LOL to all my jokes
CHORUS 2
I’m in app based love
Oh I’m in MacBook love
App based love with all the pretty people I have seen
I’m in App based love
Oh, I’m in Facebook love
App based love, I’m fallin’ for a picture on my screen
VERSE 3
Although I never met you, I am sure I won’t forget you
And all the many girls you could have been
You might have been a tripper or you might have been a stripper
And you might have been a duchess or a queen
In my imagination you are way beyond creation
You love me and you treat me like a czar
So don’t you go a changing and don’t you go estranging
You know I love you just the way you are
CHORUS 2

All Good

ALL GOOD (SIMON THOMAS)
VERSE 1
Three thousand ten
Ways I love you and then
One hundred four
Ways I love you some more
One million one,
Times I missed you since you’ve been gone
One hundred three
Reasons you’re coming back to me
CHORUS
Then I hold my breath and count to three
and you're standing right in front of me
With your heart wide open and you’re looking like an angel on the earth
you materialise and you mesmerise
with the sun in your hair and the moon in your eyes
And you make me realise the world of my world is all good
Ah, it’s all good, it’s all good
With you in my life, the world of my world is all good
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 2
Now it’s easy to see, since you came home to me
That you blow me away, and I want you to stay
When we walk by the sea, when I hold you to me
When we swim in the bay, I want you more every day
CHORUS

Do It All Again

DO IT ALL AGAIN (Simon Thomas)
VERSE 1
I was so alone when you met with me, like a ship at sea
I could not have known what I would get with you
That was just the moment that you cast your eyes on me
CHORUS
And you bowled me over and you rolled me over and you left me lying in a patch of clover
Like a fallen rover with a bad hangover
If I had it over I would do it all again
VERSE 2
You were not around to find a man for you, not a man like me
I just caught your eye across the crowded room
That was just the moment that you cast your spell on me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You burst into my lifetime with your laughter and your dreads
And your pink and purple rucksack and your worn-out hippy threads
You burst into my lifetime like a Bartok symphony
Like a dolphin from the ocean, like an orca from the sea
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 3
Now I sit at home and think enough of you, you’re so far away
When will be the time I can catch up with you?
That’ll be the moment that you take my breath away
CHORUS

Chocolate
04:28
|

CHOCOLATE
VERSE ONE
Not everything that’s brown is chocolate, not everything that’s red is rose
Not everything that’s yellow is urine, not everything that’s black is crows
Not everything that’s blue is heaven, not everything that’s green is pot
Not everything that’s rain is purple, it’s not, it’s not it’s just not
CHORUS
Life appears before me like a rainbow in the sky
Like a dream like a vision, like a dream like a vision, like a dream
If you can see the beauty that’s in your beholder’s eye
Then things will never turn out the way they seem
VERSE 2
Not everything in boats is seamen, not everything that’s hard is maths
Not every kinda music’s gonna make you wanna groove it, not everyone around me are psychopaths
Not everything that’s wet is fruit juice, not everything that’s pussy is cat
I once had a girl and I thought she was a pearl, but I don’t want to talk about that
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You’re at the beginning and it feels like you’re winning and you think you have things all in your hand
But you find it surprising as events are arising and the universe has got its own set of plans
VERSE 3
Not everything that smells is perfume, not every kind of rock can roll
Not everything that’s nutty is fruit cake, not everything you score is a goal
Not everything you think is certain, not everything you see is true
Don’t let your delusions overcome your illusions, the only thing that matters is what you say and do
CHORUS

Love Over Fear
04:04

Love Over Fear
We were standing on the edge of a precipice, It was just you and I
We were hand in hand, heart to heart, cheek to cheek and eye to eye
We were standing on the edge of a precipice, we were ready to fly
We could not know what would happen below
But were ready to jump in the blink of an eye
CHORUS
And I just can't believe we'd get no reprieve
I just can’t believe that you’re not here
I never thought we'd lose
Not once we lit that fuse
'Cause I just thought we’d choose
Love over fear.
BRIDGE
And your hair was blown in the rising wind like the feathers of a bird in flight
And your lips were soft and round and pink and the touch of your hand was oh so light
The smell of your breast put a chill in my spine
made my throat lock up all tight
and your eyes the shone like daggers or like stars in the darkest night.
Verse 2
We were standing on the edge of a precipice, it was just you and me
Were we mystified, were we petrified, were we starry-eyed
Or too blind to see?
We were standing on the edge of a precipice as we stared down the wall
Were we glorified, were we dignified, were we justified,
Or were we just afraid to fall?
CHORUS

Flames Of My Remains
03:16
|
|||
FLAMES OF MY REMAINS
Tired of the dancing
To the rhythm of another man's drum
Tired of just chancing
Chancing on the luck of my arm
Tired of the eating
Eating at the days of my life
Tired of the fleeting
Moments like the flash of my knife
CHORUS
Time to stoke the flames of my remains
Before they're cold
Time to feel the blood within my veins
Before I'm old
Tired of the walking
Walking in another man's shoes
Tired of the talking
Talking of another man's news
Tired of just faking
Faking what I think I should know
Tired of just taking
Taking what I need until I go
CHORUS

Who Put The Buds?

WHO PUT THE BUDS?
(In My Boogie Board bag)
VERSE 1
I went to Bali in a big jet air plane
Been before, now I come back again
The dude down in customs, he says “Man, you're insane
Come into my room, I expect you to explain.
Your boogie board bag, it has a big lump
Looks to me like a dromedary hump
And then my mind, it started to jump
And my heart began to bump and thump and I say
CHORUS
Who put the buds in my boogie board bag?
Who put the buds in my boogie board bag now?
Been here too long and I want to go back
Who put the buds in my boogie board bag?
VERSE 2
The man he say that I must go to court
No bail or bakshish, nothing of the sort
I said to him man, I do not smoke or snort
He said I'm sorry but it seems you've been caught
My mum she come just to show that she care
I say yeah well that's fair but don't stand there and swear
But in the court room she scream and she shout
She go crazy and she wave her hands about she say
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oh for a padlock
A small Chinese one with a brass key
Oh I am having such bad luck
Why did this have to happen to me?
So then I land in a lonely Legian lock up
All because of some Melbourne gang drug deal cock-up
And now they put me out on parole
but they won't let me go and still I'd really like to know
CHORUS

In The Flesh
01:57
|

//IN THE FLESH
I'd like to see you in the morning when the day is born
To see you lying in the silver light of early dawn
I'd like to free you when your mind is running every way
And take you with me to a place that we can play all day
I'd like to see you
I'd like to see you in the flesh
I'd like to see you
I'd like to see you
In the flesh
I'd like to show you to a secret place I only know
And lie together there and breathe the air and feel the glow
I'd like to know that you are lying with me in the night
And feel the ether of the flame that keeps the heart alight
I'd like to see you
I'd like to see you
In the flesh
I'd like to see you
I'd like to see you
In the flesh
I'm searching. I'm looking around
Cold turkey, undercover.
But you are nowhere to be found
I'd like to seat you in the garden on a starry night
And talk together drinking wine around the firelight
I'd to meet you in the bathroom or a passageway
I'd like to see you but I know that you're so far away
I'd like to see you
I'd like to see you
In the flesh
I'd like to see you
I'd like to touch* you
In the flesh
* Actually, when I did the recording, I forgot to say touch at the end and was reminded a little too late by my friend Kim. So these are the correct words.

Sweet Swyambhu Sunrise

SWEET SWYAMBHU SUNRISE
VERSE 1
Bells ringing, girls singing,
incense and sandalwood smells in the air
Priest praying, kids playing,
monkeys and monks walking round everywhere
CHORUS
It's a sweet Swyambhu sunrise
Just around the stroke of dawn
And I look into your eyes
And I look down at your form
And time flies beneath Swyambhu skies
And I gaze into sweet Swyambhu eyes
VERSE 2
Lamps burning, prayer wheels turning
People walk round here with beads in their hands
Chanting lama teaches Dharma
I feel like I've come to an ancient old land
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Statues and stupas and temples and places to pray
Pictures and postcards and posters and bowls that you play
And I stand and stare out at the view
And I soak in the sunlit scene with you
VERSE 3
Day gets going, people flowing
Women in saris put paint in their hair
Babas blessing, men confessing
Offerings of flowers and food everywhere

Dewathang Ditty

DEWATHANG DITTY
VERSE 1
Went down to a town called Dewathanga
Where the days are long and the nights are longer
Where the chang is strong but the chanki’s stronger
If you drink too much of that then you're gonna be a goner
VERSE 2
You get a good view but the air is kind of smoky
It hangs in your lungs and your voice gets really croaky
The night life there is rather low key
Unless you like momos and karaoke
CHORUS
And there was rice for dinner and rice for tea
Rice for lunch with hot chilli
Rice in the morning and way too soon
A little sweet rice in the afternoon.
VERSE 3
Went down there to try and build a composting dunny
But it went so slow it really wasn’t funny
And it took so long that it nearly drove me witless
Nobody used it, they were all bored shitless
CHORUS
BRIDGE
B – O – R – I – N – G
Bad place to be if you are an injee
T - E – D – I – O – U – S
If want to have fun, go back to the U S
VERSE 4
Didn't know what to do when I ran right out of beers
So I tried to install 21 chandeliers
That bamboo scaffold's not as strong as it appears
Not a good look when you're 48 years
VERSE 5
Well there ain’t no secrets in Dewathang, yeah
Everyone in town seems to have a tongue
And the tongues wag loud and the tongues wag long
It doesn’t really matter if the rumour’s right or wrong
CHORUS
VERSE 1

You can be the yum to my yub
And give our secret places a rub
Let me be your daka tonight
I'll fill you up with rainbows and light
Got the tantric sex blues

I'm horny like a pony
I'm feeling like a phony
I want you to be my one and only yoni
Tantric sex blues, driving me right out of my brain
Tantric sex blues, tantric sex blues
Don't wanna get born again and again and again
You can be my sweet dakini
The fangs and sculls they don't bother me
You can be my sweet dakini
Yeah the fangs and sculls they don’t bother me.
Be my sweet dakini tonight
And fill me up with rainbows and light
Got the tantric sex blues, I feel like I am going insane
My eyes are glazed over
My heart it is a flutter
I hope that's the dawning wisdom Tataghata
Tantric sex blues
Tantric sex blues
Tantric sex blues
