Breadfan Open up your mind Open up your purse Never, never, never gonna lose it Breadfan Take it all away Never give an inch Gotta make a mint Gotta make a million Breadfan You got it wrong Some long time friend's gonna lose it In the end who's a fool Seagull Give it all away Stay a bird Stay a man Stay a ghost Stay what you wanna be Loser Give it all away Never stay with the winner With the man With the money Sailor Roughin' up the town With the gal With a record on the top If you're gonna be a bad boy Breadfan Finger in the pie In the sky Put a guineau on the nose Of a gee gee Come on Keep it on the side With a ride On a throne In the middle of an island Loser, give it all away Cos' I'm never gonna stay Cos I don't need it. Don't you feel it in your veins? All the money in this world And I don't need it Breadfan Open up your mind Open up your purse Never, never, never gonna lose it Breadfan Take it all away Never give an inch Gotta make a mint Gotta make a million Breadfan You got it wrong Some long time friend's gonna lose it In the end who's a fool Seagull Give it all away Stay a bird Stay a man Stay a ghost Stay what you wanna be Loser Give it all away Never stay with the winner With the man With the money Sailor Roughin' up the town With the gal On a record on the top of your van Breadfan Finger in the pie In the sky Put a guinea on the nose Of a gee gee Come on Keep it on the side With a ride On a throne in the road In the middle of an island

Sun and moon and sky above me. These are things I treasure most Sun that lights my way goes on and on and on. Simple things will not be lost. You know I'll always love you, No matter where you are Feel it all around you My love will travel far. Sea of grass and earth below me. These are things I treasure most. Men who read the signs go on and on and on. Better things will soon be gone. You know I'll always love you No matter where you are Feel it all around you My love will travel far.

You're the biggest thing since powdered milk Believe for me it's true I can't give you any old thing But we just got to be good too My oh my, my kinda woman In an all time winning gaffe I knew some sunny story 'bout a novel and a man Though it hurts me when I cry Oh woman child Oh give it all to me You're The Biggest Thing Since Powdered milk Believe for me it's true I can't give you my guitar It's all decided blue You're all I ever want Oh I need you more and more But I don't need nobody else To give me what I came here for Though it hurts me when I cry Oh woman child Oh give it all to me (SOLO) Watch out or the woman will ruin my soul Watch out or the woman will take you whole Oh woman to woman no tears, my soul That kinda of a woman will ruin my home And when you want him you tell him 24, tell him 24 The mind is burning Bright lights in my brain My mind is confusing The rich with the sane Oh woman to woman Not afraid of the snow Believe me woman Don't lead me home And when you want him You tell him 24, tell him 24 Oh Yeah What kind of a woman will ruin my soul What kind of a woman will leave me whole Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, oh woman

You got your feelings Your old fashioned feelings About the world and its ways No retribution No simple solution I think we're caught in a maze And all the plunder That feeling down under It tends to gnaw at you We're in the grip it's a total Eclipse The tyre fitter's got you Now let me explain This feeling of pain Comes from the man at the top. His grip is so tight His political might The tyre fitter will not stop He's bleeding your brain He'll drive you insane Nobody making a move He'll give you a pen But he's got him a gun The tyre man is oh so shrewd I'm licking my wounds And mending my bones And catching the wind out of town We're all in the grip of a tyre fitter's hand It's only doing me harm Running away Just isn't the way You got to get it yourself Watch what we do We just gotta make do And hide away on the shelf

Take the words I from my praying And make me feel at home Not to feel alone And every time I look behind I keep on thinking black There ain't no looking back Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare And it won't be long You will find me there Hold the word I from that way And wipe my sweat away You know it hurted bay Is your mind with better choice And then in time to come Think I'm me as one Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare Riding my nightmare And it won't be long You will find me there

When I was a little boy They would say to me Don't go in the world and play It's bad company All they had was child and faith Let him grow and let him wait Just to find out what it was to be free But now I'm over twenty one Growing up I've had my fun And I know it's got to be Baby lying in a womb Are you free or in a tomb Let me in, I feel I want to cry. Oh the road is long Oh the road is long Come on back, back. Wash your hands and up to bed Mind your manners Or you're dead Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday Put my trust in God Who is he I know not what Something mummy said one Sunday. Maybe love is life but life is not It's something I need plenty of. Oh! I wish I'd died and never lived a day. Now there's no one near me now Tell me what to do and how Take me back and sing my cares away. Take me let me sing my cares away Oh! the road is there Oh that road is there Come on back, back. Oh! I'm empty now Rainy pain has left me now. Think of what my people used to say. Black is black and white is white Which to choose and which is right Guide me to a place where I can stay. Wrap me up and keep me warm Hide myself far from the storm Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest. Only now I realise what my parents had to try. Love you all and keep you all my life. Oh that road is there Oh the road is there Come on back, back.
