‘Radio Radio’ Lyrics

Radio radio, play me a song that I know
Been driving all night and I still got a long way to go
My heater is broke and I’m down to my last cigarette
But I still got the radio, it ain’t given up on me yet

If I can make it to the end of the line
Everything is gonna be fine

Radio radio
Radio radio

Making good time ’cause there’s nobody else on the road
The moon is shining bright and I still got a long way to go

If I can just keep up this pace
In the morning I will see her face

Radio radio
Radio radio

You lit this fire inside me
It’s your love that fuels the flames
You will be beside me
When I get home again

Radio radio
Radio radio

Play me some country, play me some old rock and roll
A little bit of rhythm and blues, and some sweet-sounding soul
Motown, ‘Downtown’, Motor City, New Orleans
The Warratahs, ‘How Bizarre’, ‘Counting The Beat’, and The Clean

My baby’s at the end of the line
You know what I got on my mind

Radio radio
Radio radio

Radio radio
Radio radio

‘The Least You Could Do’ Lyrics

You had to turn around before you left me
You had to see if I was gonna cry
Well, darling, I sure hate to disappoint you
But you’re not the only star up in the sky

I’ll get along without you here, babe
It’s nowhere near the hardest thing I’ll do
You’re leaving me without a fear, babe
You know that is the least you could do

You thought your final scene would leave me reeling
You thought I would break down in misery
Hey, I sure hate to rain on your parade, dear
But you’re not the only fish down in the sea

I’ll get along without you here, babe
It’s nowhere near the hardest thing I’ll do
You’re leaving me without a fear, babe
You know that is the least you could do

You know that is the least you could do

‘Rachel’ Lyrics

I didn’t say goodbye although I wanted to
I never said I loved you, but I did
And even if you knew how I still think of you
That would not justify the things I did

Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
I stood and watched you go
Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
But how was I to know?

A farm boy and a waitress, some romantic tale
I met you when I was still quite naive
Your beauty and your laughter knew no parallel
You stole away my heart just like a thief

Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
I stood and watched you go
Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
But how was I to know?

Should not involve your head in matters of the heart
Don’t let your mind be betrayed by a kiss
You cannot venture further when your soul’s opposed
But you’re frightened of the thrills that you might miss

Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
I stood and watched you go
Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
But how was I to know?

Well, if I could do it over
I’d do it differently
If we could talk it over
You would still be with me

Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
I stood and watched you go
Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
But how was I to know?

Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
Oh, Rachel, I was such a fool
But how was I to know?

‘Daisy’s Chain’ Lyrics

Daisy must’ve had one hundred lovers
I guess to her I was just another
But I felt I could make her understand
But Daisy’d never be happy with a normal life
She would never be any man’s wife
So tonight I sit alone here with my pain
I’m just another link in Daisy’s chain

Late at night when the lights were low
And Daisy’s fire was burning slow
Everything I needed was there in Daisy’s arms
But Daisy said the same thing to many men
Ten to one she’s gonna do it again
As I sit here with her memory running round my brain
I’m just another link in Daisy’s chain

Now the circle’s been broken in Daisy’s chain
No one will be taken in by her again
I laid her in her grave
No more am I a slave to Daisy’s chain

Now the circle’s been broken in Daisy’s chain
No one will be taken in by her again
I laid her in her grave
No more am I a slave to Daisy’s chain

‘Tearing My Old Heart Down’ Lyrics

They’re tearing my old heart down
Taking the broken pieces she left lying round
Now my love’s got no place to dwell
My dreams are packed and gone
Now they’re tearing my old heart down

This was the only heart I’d ever loved in
She was the one that made this heart a home
Inside it’s still the same old place, the only difference is she’s gone
And I’ve tried, but I can’t bring myself to just sell to anyone

So they’re tearing my old heart down
Taking the broken pieces she left lying round
Now my love’s got no place to dwell
My dreams are packed and gone
Now they’re tearing my old heart down

Just last week I was told they were foreclosing
I can’t keep up these payments on my own
And I’m thinking as that wrecking ball brings me to my knees
What kind of fool lets a happy heart wind up in times like these?

Now they’re tearing my old heart down
Taking the broken pieces she left lying round
Now my love’s got no place to dwell
My dreams are packed and gone
Now they’re tearing my old heart down

Now my love’s got no place to dwell
My dreams are packed and gone
Now they’re tearing my old heart down

‘A Place To Play’ Lyrics

I don’t want your pity
I don’t like this city
All I want is a place to play
And I don’t want your money
I don’t even like you, honey
All I want is a place to play

A place to play where I can sing my songs
A place to play where I can forget the wrongs been done to me
And when my time is through I don’t care where they send me to
As long as there’s a place to play

I don’t need possessions
I’ve got my confessions
All I want is a place to play
And I don’t yearn for nothing
I don’t care who I’m loving
All I want is a place to play

A place to play where I can sing my songs
A place to play where I can forget the wrongs been done to me
And when my time is through I don’t care where they send me to
As long as there’s a place to play

A place to play where I can sing my songs
A place to play where I can forget the wrongs been done to me
And when my time is through I don’t care where they send me to
As long as there’s a place to play

A place to play, a place to sing
A place where I can do my thing
A place to play, a place to pick
A place where I can get my kicks

‘Hotel Room’ Lyrics

Hotel room, won’t you tell me of the tales within your walls
Won’t you tell me of your rises and your falls
Hotel room, won’t you tell me who has tread upon your floor
Won’t you tell me who has darkened up your door
Tell me more, hotel room

Hotel room, is it true that your were once a stately sight?
Did your bedside lamp once glow a brilliant white?
Hotel room, now the paper on your walls is torn and grey
And your porcelain is stained and cracked away
Your curtains frayed, hotel room

There’s a woman playing on my mind
One I had to leave behind
Let us revel in your cheap red wine
Tell me your secrets, I’ll tell you mine, hotel room

Hotel room, am I not the only one you’ve ever had?
Does my leaving in the morning make you sad?
Hotel room, ’cause you know that with the sunrise I’ll be gone
My work is done, I’ve got to move along
Please be strong, hotel room

There’s a woman playing on my mind
One I have to leave behind
Let us revel in your cheap red wine
Tell me your secrets, I’ll tell you mine, hotel room

Hotel room

‘The Place’ Lyrics

This used to be the place, but now it’s just a place
I come to when I’m feeling down
Away from the misery of my recent history
When we were the talk of the town
I throw darts and shoot pool or sit on my bar stool
And stare at the booze on the shelves

This used to be the place, but now it’s just a place
That’s sadder than anyplace else

She used to be my girl, but not any more, girl
She’s living with somebody new
When they ask how I’m coping, I say, “Yes, I’m hoping”
But inside I’m breaking in two
So it’s back to the old place that used to be our place
As I watch you walk in the room

I give you a grin, but you’re dancing with him
And I pretend I don’t smell your perfume

This used to be the place, but now it’s just a place
I come to when I’m feeling down
Away from the misery of my recent history
When we were the talk of the town
I throw darts and shoot pool or sit on my bar stool
And stare at the booze on the shelves

This used to be the place, but now it’s just a place
That’s sadder than anyplace else

This used to be the place, but now it’s just a place
That’s sadder than anyplace else

‘English Rose’ Lyrics

I want an English rose growing in my garden
Just to watch her bloom could melt the heart that’s hardened
Don’t want ties to bind her down
I’d be happy just to watch her beauty abound
I want an English rose growing in my garden

There’s a wild rose growing on foreign soil
And in the garden of love for her I’d toil
I’d shelter her from the wind and the rain
Just for the chance to smell her perfume again

I want an English rose growing in my garden
Just to watch her bloom could melt the heart that’s hardened
Don’t want ties to bind her down
I’d be happy just to watch her beauty abound
I want an English rose growing in my garden

From her stem to her petals she’s perfection indeed
Makes all the other flowers look like weeds
I wouldn’t want to pick her, her beauty would die
I just want to be around her, and that is why
That is why

I want an English rose growing in my garden
Just to watch her bloom could melt the heart that’s hardened
Don’t want ties to bind her down
I’d be happy just to watch her beauty abound
I want an English rose growing in my garden

Oh, I want an English rose growing in my garden

‘My Plane’ Lyrics

Five weeks don’t seem too long, you can say it in one breath
But it’s an eternity from the one that you love best
Time can take a toll on you and fill your head with doubts
I’ve spent the last long while trying to figure this all out

While my plane was touching down
She was waiting for me in the lounge
But I just can’t lose this frown
While my plane was touching down

Make your way through customs, “Have you something to declare?”
Only that I love the girl that I left waiting here
And if she don’t feel the same I ‘d wish that I were dead
I keep coming back to what was going through my head

While my plane was touching down
She was waiting for me in the lounge
But I just can’t lose this frown
While my plane was touching down

I’m getting butterflies the closer that I get
She looks as lovely as the day when we first met
She throws her arms around me, whispers in my ear
And I’m pleased to say that all those doubts just disappeared

While my plane was touching down
She was waiting for me in the lounge
Flying into my home town
And my plane was touching down

While my plane was touching down
She was waiting for me in the lounge
Flying into my home town
And my plane was touching down

Flying into my home town
And my plane was touching down

‘Praying For Rain’ Lyrics

Praying for rain to fall from the sky
Praying for rain to cover the dry
Parched earth to which he’d given his blood
Praying to see the hills turn green and the rivers flood

Old man Buck had a Hawke’s Bay farm not far from Bay View town
In the family for eighty-odd years, handed down
From father to father, to eldest son to make a living on the land
But it had never been like this before, on his knees in the bottom-land

Praying for rain to fall from the sky
Praying for rain to cover the dry
Parched earth to which he’d given his blood
Praying to see the hills turn green and the rivers flood

The weatherman had a fancy word, Buck just called it drought
And the government sent a minister’s aide to take a look around
The bills kept coming, the money didn’t, the stock still had no feed
And in the house that his grandad built, Buck was on his knees

Praying for rain to fall from the sky
Praying for rain to cover the dry
Parched earth to which he’d given his blood
Praying to see the hills turn green and the rivers flood

Well, Buck had a meeting with the bank man
But that day the old man wasn’t around
They found him hanging from the woolshed
And that night the heavens soaked the ground

Praying for rain to fall from the sky
Praying for rain to cover the dry
Parched earth to which he’d given his blood
Praying to see the hills turn green and the rivers flood

Praying for rain to fall from the sky

‘The Course Of True Love’ Lyrics

Who put those tears in your eyes?
Who was the one that made you cry?
Who was the one that told a lie?
Who put those tears in your eyes?

Who put the hurting in your heart?
Who stole my chances from the start?
Don’t let him tear our world apart
Who put the hurting in your heart?

I will wipe away your tears
I will take away your fears
Here in this time and place
I’ll put the smile back on your face
And that’s for always, big ways and small ways

You can run with the wind
I would not try to rope you in
I’ll be here when you return
I will not try to rope you in

I will wipe away your tears
I will take away your fears
Here in this time and place
I’ll put the smile back on your face
And that’s for always, big ways and small ways

The course of true love can be rough
And if you think I’m not enough
Just watch me stay when times get tough
The course of true love can be rough

The course of true love can be rough
The course of true love can be rough
The course of true love can be rough
