I hate plastic Bags, smoky fags, Scratchy tags on Fashion Fads But Baby I love Kissing I hate bumps that trip, seams that Rip, Clocks that tick, & taps that drip But Baby I love kissing My bad Mood melts without a trace when there’s a mouth tasting my face and I float off to heaven blissing When I meditate on kissing I hate burning toast, folks that boast, things that don’t work like they’re s’posed But Baby I love Kissing I hate cruising hoons eroding dunes, limp balloons & tuneless tunes But Baby I love Kissing I hate folks who’re late, make me wait, A rusty gate that won’t hang straight But Baby I love Kissing Into a smile my frowning slips when there are lips upon my lips and there’s no thing that I am missing cos my thing is tender kissing I hate a knife too blunt, the cruel Fox-hunt, being out front in a foolish stunt But Baby I love Kissing My joie do vivre it does effect when my lips are being gently pecked and I float off to heaven blissing When I meditate on kissing and nothing to me is distressing when I’m kissing kissing kissing!

If you love somebody Well that means you need someone And If you need someone Well that makes you weak If you know you're weak And you know you need someone Oh, it's a funny thing but That's what make you strong....... That's what make you strong That's what gives you power That's what lets the meek come and sit beside the king That's what lets us smile in our final hour That's what moves our souls and That's what makes us sing And to trust somebody Is to be disappointed It's never what you wanted And it happens every time But if you're the trusting kind That don't even cross your mind And Oh it's a funny thing but That's what make you strong......

Baba, Maman & koodak means Daddy, Mummy & child in Farsi, the language used by the majority of asylum seekers in recent years. Asylum they came seeking In boats old & leaking Of their torture speaking When the boat comes in No peace for Baba, No peace for Maman No peace for koodak, surely it’s a sin Zero information goes out to the nation An abomination When the boat comes in We ‘Police' our borders With internment orders Racists applaud us When the boat comes in No peace for Baba, No peace for Maman No peace for koodak, surely it’s a sin Why say a prayer Teach our kids to care Then refuse to share When the boat comes in Private corporations Profit from our nation’s Freedom deprivations When the boat comes in No peace for Baba, No peace for Maman ... Children in detention Human rights suspension We must pay attention When the boat comes in People sent with all they've been through To Manus and Nauru What have we come to When the boat comes in No peace for Baba, No peace for Maman ... To our grief and shame hundreds still remain In torment and pain When the boat comes in If I’d a son or daughter fleeing famine or slaughter I’d cross any water When the boat comes in No Peace … If justice we revere Say welcome loud and clear and swiftly bring them here When the boat comes in

There's Pat come over the hill His calleen fair to see And whistlin low but shrill The signal was to be Oh, Mary, the mother cried There's somebody whistlin sure Oh, Mother 'tis only the wind a-whistlin through the door With me falla de lar a lar Me falla de lar a lay With me falla de lar a lar Right falla de lar a de lay I've lived my whole life long in this old house, my dear And the door to whistle like that I never yet did hear But Mother you know the fiddle Hangs close beside the chink The wind upon the open strings is playin a tune, I think With me falla de lar a lar ... The dog is barking now The fiddle can't play the tune Oh but Mother you know they say Dogs bark when they see the moon But how can he see the moon when he is old and blind? Blind dogs don't bark at the moon, you know and fiddles don't play with the wind With me falla de lar a lar ... And now I hear a pig uneasy in its mind But mother you know they say that pigs can see the wind That's true enough by day but right now you may remark A pig no more than your man outside can see anything in the dark Sure I'm not such a fool as you think I know very well ‘tis Pat Go home, you whistlin thief and do get away outa that And you! Get into bed Don't you play upon me your jeers! I might have lost the sight in my eyes But there's nothing wrong with my ears! With me falla de lar a lar ... So lads when courtin go and for your sweethearts wait Take care not to whistle too loud in case the old woman might wake In the days when I was young Oh forget it I never can I came to know the difference between A fiddle, a dog and a man. With me falla de lar a lar ...

I got the left hind leg of a rabbit - things are comin my way All I gotta do is just to reach out and grab it Things are comin' my way Oh me, me oh my, I feel happy all of the time You know I ain't got nothin' to worry my mind because Things are comin' my way Now I got the left hind leg of a rabbit things are comin' my way You know, All I gotta do is just to reach out and grab it Things are comin' my way Oh me, how good I feel, I come callin' in an automobile You know I don't need to worry 'bout my next meal because Things are comin' my way I got the left hind leg of a rabbit things are comin'. coming' my way You know all I gotta do is just to reach out and grab it things are comin my way Oh me, I feel so fine, if it starts rainin' I don't pay no mind Got a pie in the oven and a fruit on the vine You know things are comin' my way My clothes are tailor-made and my shoes are patent leather Things are comin' my way All I gotta do is just stitch myself together Things are comin' my way Oh me, me oh my, I feel happy all of the time You know I ain't got nothin' to worry my mind, because Things are comin' my way I got the left hind leg of a rabbit - things are comin my way you know all I gotta do is just to reach out and grab it Things are comin' my way Oh me, me oh my, I feel happy all of the time And I feel so fine, if it starts rainin' I don't pay no mind Oh me, how good I feel, I come callin' in an automobile Don’t need to worry ‘bout my next meal Cos things are coming' my way I got nothing to worry my mind Cos things are comin', coming' my way

This love I have for you I hope you like it though it’s mostly secondhand But I cleaned it up like new and I wrapped it with a lovely rubber band and it’s from so many places so you may detect some traces of the way that it’s been passed from hand to hand I hope you understand When we quietly sit together That’s a love my brother gave me long ago Though I’m floating like a feather It’s a love that doesn’t have to be on show And when I treat you as a team-mate And I tell you every dream I have I learnt that from my sister first you know Such a gift she did bestow Some simple praise to save me That’s a love I got once from a high school friend Or the love my grandma gave me that I’m giving back to her now til the end I could name so many others all my family friends and lovers Who gave me all this love I’ve got to spend And to share with you, my friend So when you’re struck with sadness And you’re sulking like we all can sometimes do And I know it would be madness if I start being cross and grumpy too Then if sometimes I remember not to close down in a temper but to speak the love that underneath is true That’s a love I learned from you Note - Paul told me after the song had been recorded that he changed the third last line to better reflect what happens for him. We couldn't re-record but we will perform it with the new words from now on as it does express what a temper most often feels like.

Lovin' You 02:37
If you are wond'rin' what I'm gonna do While you are sleepin', am I sleepin' too? I'm just sittin' here lovin' you Closing my eyes and lovin' you I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you I have been wond'rin' just what I would do If I weren't sleepin', and had I not found you I'd be outside findin' you I'd be walkin' down the avenue findin' you I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you Oh the reason that you never see me runnin' around Fingers on my forehead couldn’t calm me down And I can't even get me up and on my feet When I have to take care of some business on the street I have been walkin' all my streets alone Used to keep walkin' just to keep from goin' home Couldn't ever thoroughly conceive of you Now I can't conceive of ever leavin' you I'm just sittin' back, sitting here lovin' you
