Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde And the band played on. He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored, And the band played on. But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded The poor girl would shake with alarm. He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls, And the band played on.

When I was a young man I carried me pack And I lived the free life of the rover From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in 1915 my country said: Son, It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun And they sent me away to the war And the band played Waltzing Matilda When the ship pulled away from the quay And amid all the tears, flag waving and cheers We sailed off for Gallipoli It well I remember that terrible day When our blood stained the sand and the water And how in that hell they call Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter Johnny Turk, he was ready, he primed himself well He rained us with bullets, and he showered us with shell And in five minutes flat, we were all blown to hell He nearly blew us back home to Australia And the band played Waltzing Matilda When we stopped to bury our slain Well we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs Then it started all over again Oh those that were living just tried to survive In that mad world of blood, death and fire And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive While around me the corpses piled higher Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head And when I awoke in me hospital bed And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead I never knew there was worse things than dying Oh no more I'll go Waltzing Matilda All around the green bush far and near For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legs No more waltzing Matilda for me They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed And they shipped us back home to Australia The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla And when the ship pulled into Circular Quay I looked at the place where me legs used to be And thank Christ there was no one there waiting for me To grieve and to mourn and to pity And the Band played Waltzing Matilda When they carried us down the gangway Oh nobody cheered, they just stood there and stared Then they turned all their faces away Now every April I sit on my porch And I watch the parade pass before me I see my old comrades, how proudly they march Renewing their dreams of past glories I see the old men all tired, stiff and worn Those weary old heroes of a forgotten war And the young people ask "What are they marching for?" And I ask myself the same question And the band plays Waltzing Matilda And the old men still answer the call But year after year, their numbers get fewer Someday, no one will march there at all Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me? And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong So who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?

Woke up in Beijing With someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Strangers, they don't look like mine Through someone else's words Just to take a break from mine It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments

Walk across and talk to me 'Cause it's late And it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going It could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers Just a little sound Say what you're thinking Tell me where you're going 'Cause I need you now Well, it could be easy It could be easy But we keep on trying so hard But I don't even We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything But all I want to hear is you Walk across and talk to me Just a little whisper in my ear Tell me what you're thinking Thinking about It could be easy It could be easy We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you What you saying What you doing Keep on talking Louder and louder What you saying Keep on talking Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder It could be easy

Drive, drive drive, drive You want to drive all night Follow the yellow lines Don't stop or look behind And you don't want to know where you're going Just want to get lost sometimes together Drive, drive drive, drive Get lost together Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Want to get lost? You don't want to know where you're going Stepping through a hallway of trees Getting lost to nowhere's good to me Wild eyes in the high high beams Staring back at me Into endless night Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me

There was a time Where our years still just feel alive Then the world started to change And it never quite felt the same And the sky turned to fire And the people cried, oh why, oh why So they looked far and wide When the answer was in front of their eyes Little children started to cry, oh Screaming, Mama and Papa, oh why, oh why So they told them a lie Just to silence them Say goodnight And the people started to die He's singing, what a shame They've been waiting for the moment when they're finally dead Singing ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame Ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame What a shame What a shame Ooh, what a shame What a shame We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill He's singing, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He cried, what a shame He cried, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He sang, what a shame
