YOU´VE STILL GOT NOTHING TO SAY (John A Spittles)
I hear you talking but you ´ve got nothing to say
After all these years there´ll be a price to pay
On and on you go, but you got nothing to say
Now our mate Mark can tell a tale or two
A tale wasn´t told talking about Frenchie and you
On and on you go, for so long so long and it shows
That you got nothing to say
Talk talk talk talk and you talk talk talk
But you got nothing to say

SHUTDOWN BREAKDOWN (John A Spittles)
Sun it rears as I rise, I wash the dirt from eyes
This town this place, I wanna quit and just pass through
This time this space, there´s nothing left for me to do
I gotta shutdown breakdown, I wanna shutdown breakdown
I gotta shutdown breakdown, I wanna shutdown breakdown
Well I long to live by my terms, and I want to give and I got to learn
But these days and these nights, they all seem to feel the same
And my dream my fight, hang on the line and fade to grey
I gotta shutdown breakdown, I wanna shutdown breakdown
I gotta shutdown breakdown, I wanna shutdown breakdown

THIS CHRISTMAS TIME (she´ll fly away)(John A Spittles)
Tonight I’d like to hide, from you him and them and be by her side
Tomorrow she´ll fly away, and right here in Sydney I’ll have to stay
And just for a little while but more than a day
This Christmas time she´ll fly away
She swims through my tide, when I’m drunk tired and surly she winks and smiles
She comes in colours so bright, and I dress in black and never quite right
And with one smile, she makes my day
But this Christmas time she´ll fly away

OPEN YOUR ARMS (John A Spittles)
I´m looking to find that hand and your golden smile, but sometimes sadness rolls over me
I still taste your tears by the tracks in old Hasselt, a time and place I remember that you
Opened your arms and let me in, you opened your arms and let me in
Day after day I know what you´d say, there´s a place in space where we still seem to shine
Now when I talk to Deb she says Leor, Gram, Lola are just fine, but just like me I bet that they, just like me they´d love you to, open your arms and let us in, open your arms and let us in
I walk this road where I found you, stories we told they still ring true
I feel your hand on my shoulder and your voice echoes through my mind
Open your arms and let me in, open your arms and let us in

NO DIRECTION HOME (John A Spittles)
Lonely cold open and wide is the road we walked on
Together we were so alone we got no direction home
A cool breeze old and dark howls up around the bend
And it blows for you and me and it´s all that I can see
No direction home
That feeling down below is just the love that has gone wrong
From the earth through your chest you feel it rolling like the sea
The days are long and nighttime comes and you know you just can´t sleep
And it will chill you to the bone you´ll never feel so alone
No direction home

HIT THE GROUND RUNNING (John A Spittles)
Hit the ground running, hit the ground running
It´s our time, time to die, that is all that I can see
And our chance, chance to fly, is lost on the breeze
Together we were so alone choking each other with time
So I’ll hit the ground running hit the ground running
And with pride by my side, I´ll walk my way
Wash these hands of you and your kind, with a brand new day
Down by the river she would lie, on her back and through her teeth
She put a spell on me, and that made me blind
And what hides between your legs won’t save you
A belly of lie´s inside your head will fail you
You gotta hit the ground running, hit the ground running

TIME AND TIME AGAIN (John A Spittles)
Time, time and time again
Over, over and over and over again my friend
Inside outside got me moving between the lines
Within without always carry a sense of doubt
We turn to watch seasons as they change
My eyes see things remain the same
I look up down and round the bend
And I search a time sow a time to grow
Most days and nights looking through a careless sight
With us and them once blind now I condemn
Yeah you say she say he say and nah say
We choose we fight and I see no end in sight
Once up once down time spinning around and round
With love I’ll learn a time to move a time to turn
Time to move a time to turn
Time to move a time to turn

TEARS IN A TOWN SHE CALLS HOME (John A Spittles)
There she goes, and I never felt so low
Tears in a town she calls home
Train that I ride, on this cold Spanish morn
Is taking me far from her sweet song
And I wonder where we´re going, and where we´ve been
The tears she cry’s, tells me that´s it´s more
More than I’ve ever felt before
And I can´t hide like so many times before
With my tears in town she calls home
And on this crowded train I feel so alone
I´m looking through the window as she´s walking home
Long is the road the journey and the path
I close my eyes and I’m going home
Tears in a town she calls home
Tears in town she calls home
Going home, going home.
