Energy is strange, there’s a strange energy all about Enemy or friend? There’s a chance to sort things out There’s enough energy in this room to light a fire without a spark There’s enough synergy I assume to make magic, that’s a start Energy is strange, it comes in many guises Energy is change, it trifles and disguises Energy is fleet, it shimmers down your spine Energy is cute it uncorks the bottle of wine Energy surprises (Repeat) Energy surprises, energy advises, energy enables, energy in cables Energy across tables, Energy in eyes, energy surprise Energy in the skies, energy in eyes, energy surprise

Solid Rock 05:50
Out here nothin' changes Not in a hurry anyway You can feel the endlessness With the comin' of the light o' day You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place You wanna sell it in a marketplace Well Well just a minute now You're standin' on Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line Right down the line Well round about the dawn of time The Dreaming all began A crowd of people came Well they were lookin' for their promised land We're runnin' from the heart of darkness Searchin' for the heart of light It was their paradise Well they were standin' on Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Were blowin' cold that night Well they were standin' on the shore one day Saw the white sails in the sun Wasn't long before they felt the sting White man, white law, white gun Don't tell me that it's justified Cause somewhere Someone lied Yeah, well someone lied Someone lied Genocide Well someone lied And now you're standin' on Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line No!

Dark Room 03:38
Feeling, are uncertain, time to close the curtains In the darkroom Closing in all my feelings surround me Time to begin in this wilderness around me A place where I can hide away from the noise that surrounds me, and the coterie Thoughts all expired, now that I have grown tired Sometimes I feel guilty not spending more time with the ones who love me Sometimes I get tired, I grow tired In the darkroom (repeat)
5.
Shark Boy 04:44
Waves, crashing to the shore Waves, crashing to the shore The sound of waves is knocking at the door The turbulent sea, urchins and ink And the waves silk the ways And the waves take me down The waves take me down (Repeat) But I’m a shark boy I’ll take you down, I’ll take you down, I’ll take you down, I’ll take you down Take it all down (Repeat) Waves come crashing on shark boy The waves will come crashing down on shark boy Waves coming crashing home to shark boy Waves come crashing on shark boy (Repeat)

New Nonsense 04:08
I pass by an old car on the side of the road Its front smashed in, bonnet wide open like a gaping mouth Saying it’s the end of the road! Comparisons not wasted on fools, as I recount my depleted visage In a bathroom roundel Its paintwork spoiled like scars on a skin, tyres like a balding pate New nonsense for the tow-away to take Back at Oaks estate where the refuse of society mingle with old dogs and cockatoos! Right now, there’s still promise for reform Right now, it’s always darkest before dawn Right now, I could lick my wounds in silence Or confront the day with violence Right now, there’s still promise for reform Right now, it’s always darkest before dawn Right now, I could lick my wounds in silence Or confront the day with violence Right now, I could take a risk and gamble Right now I could find myself in brambles Right now, I could contemplate the lifestyle Right now, that would fill my heart with smiles Right now, right now (repeat)

I'm Leaving 05:26
Feeling guilty, feeling pain. Stupid feelings in my brain. No one hears a sound I make, My whole life was a big mistake. Before I'm leaving, there's something I would say. You never wanna listen, That's the price you have to pay. What does it matter, I'm leaving here today. What does it matter, I come back another day. Before I'm leaving, there's something I would say. You never wanna listen, That's the price you have to pay. Feeling guilty, feeling pain. Stupid feelings in my brain. No one hears a sound I make, My whole life was a big mistake. Before I'm leaving, there's something I would say. You never wanna listen, That's the price you have to pay. What does it matter, I'm leaving here today. What does it matter, I come back another day. Before I'm leaving, there's something I would say. You never wanna listen, That's the price you have to pay.

Emma 04:48
We were together since we were five She was so pretty Emma was a star in everyone's eyes And when she said she'd be a movie queen Nobody laughed A face like an angel She could be anything Emmaline Emma, Emmaline I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen Emmaline Emma, Emmaline I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen At seventeen we were wed I'd work day and night To earn our daily bread And every day Emma would go out Searching for that play That never, ever came her way You know sometimes she'd come home So depressed I'd hear her crying in the back room Feel so distressed And I'd remember back when she was five To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive It was : "Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline, I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen. Emmaline, Emma, Emmaline I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen." It was a cold and dark December night When I opened up the bedroom door To find her lying still and cold Upon the bed A love letter lying on the bedroom floor It read : "Darling I love you, But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more. I tried so very hard not to leave you alone. I just can't keep on trying no more." Emmaline ... Aaargh, Emmaline ... Aaargh ... Emma, Emmaline ... Aaargh ... Emma, Emmaline ...

about

Euie b Graham Canberra, Australia

Ending formal lessons on violin, I began writing songs in 1992, graduating to a four-track cassette recorder shortly after, and the addictive journey of composing then recording was entrenched. I continue, assimilating influences and forging my own way. I shy away from performing, I write, record then move on. I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
