from where i stand
rhythm and flow
rhythm and flow
in the minds and the hearts
of the ones that we stifle
rhythm of life
rhythm and flow
flow into dignified death
in a cycle that keeps on repeating

i hear the flow
i hear the flow
i hear the rhythm and the flow

silent and strong
rhythm and flow
telling the lives of the ancients
they learn from experienced poets
rhythm of life
rhythm and flow
hoping experienced poets
can teach them about their survival

i hear the flow
i hear the flow
i hear the rhythm and the flow etc

BLADE AT THE THROAT OF A NOMAD
WE TEAR AT THE HEARTS AND THE SOULS
OF THOSE WHO HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE US
AND YET WE DON'T REALISE
WE STAB OURSELVES IN THE BACK
WORSHIP OUR GODS OF STEEL
REVERE THE MERE MACHINE
AND IN OUR JUNGLE OF CONCRETE
WE CATCH A GLIMPSE
OF THE EDGE OF A DREAM

Cry and Cry
written by jenny morris and don miller robinson

flowing robes and golden arms
captured in the songs and psalms
ancient vows and natures
patience all go crashing in your wake

cry and cry cry and cry

wailing seabirds
skid and slide
on the green and greasy tide
can't decide
which way to turn
waiting for someone to learn

cry and cry cry and cry

every time it happens
i never see it coming
every time it hits me
right between the eyes
here i go again
i swallow what you tell me
it's childsplay to you
but it's life and death for me

just today i heard another green one scream
heard her back as it got broken
and down she fell
breaking in a million pieces
all the work of mother nature gone
and as she went i saw her sisters
cry and cry and cry and cry

cry and cry etc

What do I do now
written by jenny morris

theres a river running through the place
that used to be a homestead
and every day the mailman
brings something left unopened
all the letters that are left are turning
browner by the day
i'm searching for an answer
like a teardrop in the clay

what do i do now to keep it warm
cos this empty shell was once a home
and my lovin heart is bleeding for somebody

in the morning i can never
cross the line of my confusion
the power of a dream
makes you forget about illusion
the sweetness and the rhythm
stay with me throughout the day
i walk in wanderlust
and then it fades away

what do I do now etc

aaaaah aaaaah

now my confidence
is crying out for shelter
i’ve spent too many restless nights
i've laid around and in a swelter

what do i do now etc

what am i gonna do etc

In Too Deep
words and music by Rick Nowells

I was high and dry
don't ask me why
we took the wrong turn that day
out on that lonely highway...
the river was pounding below
and how we crashed,
i'll never know
but suddenly I can't swim
so this is drowning...

suddenly I'm IN TOO DEEP
to ever get out
I gave you my heart and my soul to keep
don't give me your doubts
I'm over my head
and it's scaring me so...

so have a little faith baby
in where going to don't ask me where you know
I just can't tell you all I know
is I'm swept away taken by this undertow
ooh, wave are crashing in baby,
baby don't let me go, cause...

I'm IN TOO DEEP I'm IN TOO DEEP

thanks for the crash course
that ride upon your noble horse
well we jumped the fence that day
and rode so far away...
Will I forever roam?
1 only want to come home
so won't you throw me a line?
feel

suddenly I'm in TOO DEEP
to ever get out
I gave you my heart and my soul to keep
don’t give me your doubts
I'm over my head
and it's scaring me so...

so have a little faith
in we're going to
don't ask me where
you know I just can't tell you
all I know is I'm swept away
taken by this undertow
ooh, wave are crashing in
don't let me go, cause...
I'm IN TOO DEEP
I’m IN TOO DEEP

Walking into Walls
written by jenny morris and jud friedman

she saw small eyes she could pity
on her road into the city
couldn't help but notice
both the light and shade
how many souls came before her
willingly like lambs to slaughter
changing all the laughter lines from soft to hard

on and on
on and on and on
she goes
through the broken hearted people
on and on
on and on and on
she goes
through the broken hearted people
walking into walls
walking into walls
on and on and on and on

no innocence in her fire
and her wits as sharp as wire
till the day she looks into the mirror
and she sees small eyes she can pity
shaped by the relentless city
how she ever made it this far
heaven knows
on she goes

on and on etc

golden edges to her dreams
tarnishing with time
as it goes rolling by
rolling by

on and on etc

Frida
Written by jenny morris

i am broken
but i am not sick
my body aches
but theres a fire in my soul tonight
i am broken
but love is the burden i bear
while i'm able to dare

i'll give you my life
i'll give you myself
i'll give you my love
i'll give you a painting
i'll give you a portrait
drawn with my love

why is it me you see
on the canvas
my hair piled high
with braids and ribbon and flowers
porque estoy may sola
porque estoy may sola
because i am all alone

i'll give you my life etc

i feel free
but only while theres wind there
for my wings
and so my friend
my exquisite pain is uncertain
i will send you photos
to survive
to endure
to conquer death

i'll give you my life etc

pies para que los quiero
si tengo alas pa' volar
(feet, why do i need them,
if i have wings to fly)

Hope (now I know)
written by jenny morris and dennis greaves

its a fable often told
to hardened hearts and narrow minds
tearing down old misconceptions
wearing hope
like tinted glasses
deflecting all advances
holding up to spite
the rays of time

now i know
just where theres atmosphere
now i know
what not to fear
theres something better

looking for my dove of freedom
i must admit i suffered
in the recovery of my heart

someone with honest eyes and worldly wise
a calm for every storm
flew in through raging pain
like a hurricane
with water for the drought

you were in your cable jumper
bringing back warm blood to cold veins
healing all the chills i had inside

now i know...etc

theres no fear of retribution in my mind
i've paid the price
the only one i owe
is you you're the only one i owe
you're the only one i owe

Price I Pay
written by billy bragg

my friend said he could see no way
that i was probably better off without
you he said to face up to the fact
you wern't commin back
and he could make me happy
like you used to
but i’m sorry to say i turned him away
knowing every thing he said was true

but thats the price i pay
for lovin you the way that i do

theres something inside
that hurts my foolish pride
to visit the places we used to go together
not a day goes by
that i don't sit and wonder why
your feelings for me didn't last forever
but i love you so much
that sometimes it's such
i'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe

but thats the price i pay
for loving you the way that i do
and thats the price i pay
for loving you the way that i do

so keep that phone out of my way
for all the things that i must say
are empty if you don’t believe the're true

and thats the price i pay
for loving you the way that i do

i love you so much
that baby its such
i'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe

and thats the price i pay
for loving you the way that i do etc

Only We can Hear
written by jenny morris and wally wilson

standing in the river
waiting for the flood
i'll let the water take me
i'm only flesh and blood
flesh and blood
the rivers got a rhythm
and a will of it's own
just like the water we roll
with the flow tumble aud roll

with a rhythm of our own
a sound only we can hear
it comes from the part
that gets in the heart
and stays right there
a voice inside my head
is screaming with desire
hungry like a baby
crazy like a fire

the sound is getting louder
in a room alone
i feel it in my body
do you feel it in your bones in your bones

with a rhythm of our own etc

while the world drifts away
we move to a rhythm
no one has known a rhythm of our own
with a rhythm of our own etc

Digger
written by jenny morris, mark cawley, bill baker

there you are
in the heart of the king country
your dust in the distance
i can see you ride
speeding away under the thunderclouds
faster and faster
ahead of the rolling sky
all of those chances
you had at your finger tips
glittering prizes
they're jewels in the crown
floating like bubbles
just inches from your grasp
forever bursting out of youthfull fantasies

fire in your eyes
fanning the flame
age is a myth from a dusty book

don't need a thing when you're running wild
no complication
all you can feel is the wind on your face
loving the rush of the river that opened and gave you your dreams

don't need a thing etc

Angels
written by jenny morris

when I run around
feeling like a cat thats on the prowl
i can be
i can be the king of my own jungle
hanging round runnin round
always on the ground
stars that shine
are warming up my face
thats my home
my own roof
higher than you'll ever know
hangin round
runnin round
always on the ground

let the angels
find their own way
i can't use them
can’t confuse them
let the angels
find there own way
i can't guide

with these clouded eyes

if i told it all
would they have the strength
to fall asleep
we're whats there underneath
underneath their footsteps
squeezing up between their toes
we're a breath away
from the creature comforts
of a home
growing up
growing old
wild and winsom poets
hangin round runnin round
always on the ground

angels

i'm a soul who cannot speak
about a bunch of secret lives
every one every one
i live each day
out of sight and sun and mind

let the angels etc
let the angels
find their own way
i can't use them
or confuse them
we're a million miles away
although we’re living right next
do i let angels
find there own way
it’s the price they'll have to pay
for favours taken and not given
it's the only way

the only way
the only way
the only way i know

Pain in your shadow
written by jenny morris, simon wilson, rich wayland

a ship is sailing in the desert
drifting under coloured sails
driven west across a sea of sand
to find a land
where crops won't fail

a people looking for a refuge
spirits bound by hungers chains
a woman walks ten miles in search of water
and in her dreams, a little rain

mamma theres a pain in your shadow
theres a weight in your walk
let me take the burden off your back

i wonder will you find a heaven
or will the journey break your faith
though you face the sun you feel a shiver

and fear for your childrens fate mamma theres a pain in your shadow
theres a weight in your walk
mamma mamma
let me take the burden off your back

theres beauty in your dignity
power in your blood
its written in your history
to stand against the flood

mamma theres a pain in your shadow
theres a weight in your walk
let me take your arm when you stumble
let me take the burden off your back

mamma mamma
mamma mamma
let me take your arm when you stumble
let me take the burden off your back

etc

Salvation Jane
written by andrew farriss

one chain to the mountain
two feet in the chain
three fires approaching
they're four hours away
a sol invictus the invincible sun
the night is almost come
five times the assassin
six species destroyed
seven valleys are numbered
eight years till they're gone
just when i thought
i'd die on this rock
i see a face i know

salvation jane
wild wild flower of love
salvation jane
well you’ve got the power to change
you're such an easy pray

nine times the protector
ten years and a day
eleventh hour we're facing
it's twelve o'clock in the sun
oh mother nature
we're trying to kill you
just like greedy fools

salvation jane
wild wild flower at love
salvation jane
wild wild power to change
you're such an easy prey

thirteen grand designs
fourteen you're walkin the wire
fifteen is when you're lonely
sixteen is a long way there
seventeen she’s a wildflower
eighteen is a wirl
nineteen she's a mother
twenty minutes ago

salvation jane etc
