Days of My Life (Mono) - Judith Durham & The Seekers

I got no wear to go Got nothing to do It's the day after Christmas And I'm thinking of you Looking out of my window There nothing to see Even the snow that was falling Thought it was time to leave But I'm doing fine Cause everyone said that These days are the best days of my life Near the autumn of my live Got some grey on the sides Yes I promise to work out hunny But I just can't find the time Now a billion air jet I guess it's nothing for me I got the wife, dog, car and house And some cards of my sleeve But I'm doing fine Cause everyone said that These are the best days of our lives With wild roses die You found a sort place to hide When you're troubles don't mind These are the best days of our lives The world is crazy God is gone Now heroes within all night long to say The city from her dankest night so where are the grey I don't mean the soldiers who fights the wars But the man on the corner working in the store He hopes And his kids grow up to be honest men And make him believe again But I'm doing fine Cause everyone said that These are the best days of my life But I'm doing fine Cause everyone said that These are the best days of my life

Let me hear the noise of a million yells Let me take command of a million cells Let me feel the verve of life, the verve of life Let me feel the heat of a million flames Let this be the game of a million games Let me feel the verve tonight, the verve tonight Never say never Giving my best Never say die along the test Knowing my time is yet to come This is my life, life, life I live (This is my life) This is my life, life, life I give (This is my life) And this is my time, time, time I use (This is my life) This is the life, life, life I choose (This is my life) Let me see the flash of a million lights Let me set the line to an unforeseen height Let me feel the verve of life, the verve of life Never say never Giving my best Never say die along the test Knowing my time is yet to come This is my life, life, life I live (This is my life) This is my life, life, life I give (This is my life) And this is my time, time, time I use (This is my life) This is the life, life, life I choose (This is my life) And this is my life Yeah, this is my life This is my life My time is yet to come This is my life, life, life I live (This is my life) This is my life, life, life I give (This is my life) And this is my time, time, time I use (This is my life) This is the life, life, life I choose (This is my life) And this is my life (This is my life) Yeah, this is my life (This is my life) This is my life (This is my life) My time is yet to come (My time is yet to come) And this is my life (This is my life) Yeah, this is my life (This is my life) This is my life My time is yet to come (Come, come)

You always said Living with me was impossible "Try it," I said Just like the wind, I'm changeable We ain't got money, but we sure got laughs Lots of loving too So I confess on my behalf You're giving me honestly The best days of my life Your whispering girls Said, "Don't be a fool, don't give into him He's an animal Treats you like dirt, then he'll turn you in" You two are not compatible It'll never, never last They said I wasn't even suitable But you're giving me honestly The best days of my life Sometimes I wonder Why does she bother with me at all So staid in my ways Let's face it, my dear, I'm insufferable The crazy nights spilling into days With all my noisy friends But they all love you as much as I Giving me constantly The best days of my life And a day without you At this point, my dear, seems unthinkable A night without you More often than not is unbearable But if it all can't work out One can never, never tell In my heart, there is no doubt You gave to me unselfishly The best days of my life Mmm-mmm But if it all can't work out One can never, never tell

I come from the dreamtime From the dusty red soil plains I am the ancient heart The keeper of the flames I stood upon the rocky shore I watched the tall ships come For forty thousand years I've been The first Australian I came upon the prison ships Bound down by iron chains I've worked the land Endured the lash And waited for the rains I'm a settler I'm a farmers wife On a dry and barren run A convict and a free man I became Australian I'm the daughter of a digger Who sought the mother load The girl became a woman On the long and dusty road I'm a child of the Depression I saw the good time come I'm a bushy, I'm a battler I am Australian We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We'll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian I'm a teller of stories I'm a singer of songs I am Albert Namatjira And I paint the ghostly gums I am Clancy on his horse I'm Ned Kelly on the run I'm the one who waltzed Matilda I am Australian I'm the hot wind from the desert I'm the black soil of the plain I'm the mountains and the valleys I'm the drowned and flooding rains I am the rock I am the sky The rivers when they run The spirit of this great land I am Australian We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We'll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian We are one But we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We'll share a dream And sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian I am, you are, we are Australian Yes, the power of the right lyrics and the right melody To help us collectively express something That's usually very private and we never talk about But some of that just makes us all feel, uh, feel pretty good There's a couple of other things that make us feel pretty good tonight, too Apart from, thank you, you're all here with us We just found out that today That the album and the video that we have out at the moment Well especially the album, really We know that the video has already gone But it was our 68 concert for the BBC in London in black and white And the soundtrack from it we released for this tour And we're delighted to tell you that this week It's just gone into the Top 20 at number twelve Can't keep a good group down, can you? So if anyone's bought it, thank you, if you're gonna buy it, double thank you No, we're thrilled and, uh The other thing that makes us feel good in a package of these next three songs Two in fact, I think, are on that video Because the second and the third songs you will certainly know They were B-Sides to two of our biggest ever hit singles And they got as much airplay as the singles themselves So we regard them as big hits, and you'll certainly know them The first song of the trio is a little bit different, 'cause it's one of those early songs We used to have a lot of fun with, because when we first sat down together We didn't know the verses to all these great gospel songs So we'd sing the chorus' in lusty fashion but we sorta had to be creative with the verses You'll get the drift, here's the song Quaintly entitled, "Let the Light from the Lighthouse Shine on Me"

They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia Sayin', "Steve, you're way behind time It's 8: 38, and it's the old '97, gotta put her into Danville on time" Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made Steve Brady he said to his black, greasy fireman "Shovel on a little more coal I'm waitin' to pass them wide-open mountains Gonna see the old '97 roll" Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made He's comin' down that line makin' 90 miles an hour The whistle broke into a scream They found him in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle He'd been scalded to death by steam Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made Well, come on now, all you ladies From this time on, now learn Don't you ever say harsh words to your true-lovin' husband He'll leave you and never return Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made Well, he's comin' down that line makin' 90 miles an hour And the whistle broke into a scream They found him in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle He'd been scalded to death by steam Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made Well, it's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg down to Danville On a line with a three-mile grade It was down that line where he lost his air-brakes You can see what a jump he made

There's a new world somewhere They call the promised land And I'll be there someday If you will hold my hand I still need you there beside me No matter what I do For I know I'll never find another you There is always someone For each of us, they say And you'll be my someone Forever and a day I could search the whole world over Until my life is through But I know I'll never find another you It's a long, long journey So stay by my side When I walk through the storm You'll be my guide, be my guide If they gave me a fortune My virtue would be small I could lose it all tomorrow And never mind at all But if I should lose your love, dear I don't know what I'd do For I know I'll never find another you But if I should lose your love, dear I don't know what I'd do For I know I'll never find another you Another you Another you
