PURSEONABLE GUY
I'm a man
Yeah he’s a man
Yes he's a fuckin man
And I wear my tool belt when I’m building
After dark
Down at the park?
Nah down the fuckin pub
I keep all my shit in my pockets
Fashion faux pas so unkind
Brings out the colour in my eyes
I am a purseonable guy
I like to accessorise
Not quite sure why you criticise cause
I am a personable guy
I’m a bloke
Yeah he’s a bloke
Yeah he’s a fucking bloke
And the purse on my arm isn't a joke
I tried it
An experiment
A huge fuck off success
And now my life's filled with convenience
At first you tease but soon you'll find
You handing me keys to mind

INNER WEST SIDE STORY
Our planets slowly burning
The wheels of war keep turning
Hierarchy is all filled with greed
No help goes to all those in need
Leaders procrastinating
Who can we put our faith in?
Disenchanted society
I think it's time for is to flee
We all can recognise
That the end is nigh
Grab the Sultans table, crispy soy
We'll watch while the world's destroyed
Drinking beers reminiscing with friends
This is how our inner west side story ends
Trans bashings at the townie
sly fox is charging entry
The Annandale has gone to shit
The city sent all their fuckwits
Pho 88 has closed down
Where can we get good pho now?
They upped the rent she couldn’t pay best food in town taken away
We all can recognise
That the end is nigh
Never let our inner west side story end

SELL YOUR SOUL
I heard you say
You'd sell your soul
For us to not live
Live like this anymore.
From day to day
In others hands
We could get paid
And build some plans
And we all deserve to feel secure
While we try to live our lives to the full.
And tonight you'll wish upon the stars
Gotta tell you it just breaks my heart
And so we'll play
Some songs tonight
For smiles and coins
From passers by
We'll celebrate
What we got
A setting sun
And each other
And we all deserve to feel secure
While we try to live our lives to the full.
And tonight you'll wish upon the stars
Gotta tell you it breaks my heart
Seems like our days are all stuck on repeat
Like synchronised watches won't miss a beat
So we'll take, our change away
Get us by for another day
I heard you say
You'd sell your soul
For us to not live
Live like this anymore
But I'd say wait
no need to change
Let's just scrape by
It's just our way
And we all deserve to feel secure
While we try to live our lives to the full.
And tonight you'll wish upon the stars
Gotta tell you it breaks my heart
Seems like our days are all stuck on repeat
Like synchronised watches won't miss a beat
So we'll take, our change away
Get us by for another day
And so I'd say
Don't sell your soul
I don't want you
You to change at all.

END OF THE LINE
Well I never caught the bus to the end of the line
Well I was bright eyed
I had to decide
Where I would reside
In a new share home
Was moving closer to action
Alternative attractions
Then all of a sudden
Seems I had forgotten
A whole bunch of postcodes
Well I never caught the bus to the end of the line
I've only wandered past my street one time
I can't even name three train stops past mine
I admit I've been living suburbly blind

MULTIBALL
Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck in multiball
Juggling a thousand things banging my head against the wall
Every time I slam tilt they all head down the outlanes
Or I'm penalised and can't move my locked flippers again
Multiball
I've got to suck it up, pull that plunger another time
That jackpot keeps calling yeah a high score's on my mind
But now I've made yet another mistake it's a state of disarray
Guess I'll just cross my fingers for a lucky number replay

OSCILLATING
I'm feeling so stuck
Got A decision to make
Is it time to move on?
Yea should I move away?
I'm getting so tired here
I feel like I'm burning out
Should I make a new start?
Or should I sit back down?
They say the devil you know
Is better than the one you don't
But what if you have just outgrown
This place despite love you’ve been shown
Like a fan I'm oscillating
Lately I've been changing my mind
Moving back and forth between two thoughts for the whole night
I feel like Houdini
Shackled and underwater
Will I make an escape?
Or will the magic falter
I can't lie to myself
There's so much tying me here
Is it a simple Windsor knot?
Or something far more severe?
Trembling voice
It's so difficult to say
don't want to desert you
But there's a chance I must take

THE GINGE
I never met a man
With a bigger grin
I never met a man
With a sense of humour like his
I never met a bigger fan
Of punk rock than him
And you'll never meet a man
quite Like the Ginge
While you shouldn't be defined
By a haircut or natural design
He had a unique style
That couldn't be forgotten if we tried
He'd never let a party die
Just Wanna keep it, going on all night
He'd never want to say goodbye
And it hurts we didn't say it one last time
Don't say goodbye
Just say good times
Don't say goodbye
Just say good times
Well You have gone away
Live on in our memory
Don't say goodbye
Just say good times
Your living on in good times
Tattoos on arms to remind us
Let's cheers Ted Danson tonight
