Verse 1 -
All around me are familiar faces
Warn out places, warn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head i wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
Chorus -
Then i find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which i'm dying
Are the best i've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world, mad world
Verse 2 -
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Till they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and i was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
Chorus -
And i find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
In the dreams of which i'm dying
Are the best i've ever had
I ind it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world, mad world
I love watching no one
Mad World!

All Over The World (Nana Mouskouri)
As I've looked around
At the life I'm living
More and more I found
Life is for the giving
Children know the way
Loving and forgiving
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
Then we were very young
Love's a gift for sharing
But as we grow up
We forget the caring
Why must we go on
Distrusting and despairing
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
Innocent and free
Hear the children's laughter
Why can't people be
Happy ever after
Let this song of hope
Ring from every rafter
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
There in Neverland
See the children playing
Walking hand in hand
Innocent and playing
Can't we undrestand
A single word they're saying
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way
All over the world
The children are singing
All over the world
You see them at play
Why must we destroy
The joy they are bringing
All over the world
Let love show the way.
817 (Oval Opus)
Duffle bag on my shoulder, ticket in my hand
I've got a guitar on my back
Headed west to a promise of a future
Smoky clouds predict my fate, of fortune and uncertainty
Not sure how the road's gonna ride
Leavin' you behind and it hurts me
The road unwinds carrying me through the night
A flash of headlights in my eyes, and they're breathing down my neck
With my journal in my hand, I'm writing, capturing the essence of the ride
Meeting new friends every hour, sharing advice and stories of life
Everybody's got a tale, so open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say good bye
Traveling to a new beginning
With out leaving it all behind
The hours fly past on my fossil watch
One stop to another
Mostly writing, rarely talking about the things that I'm hearing
And it often makes me smile
The curiosity overwhelms, until I have fallen to sleep
Then the stories unravel in my mind
I struggle with the reflections. of the fire and the water
I can hear the tick of time
The road unwinds carrying me through the night
A flash of headlights in my eyes, and they're breathing down my neck
With my journal in my hand, I'm writing, capturing the essence of the ride
Meeting new friends every hour, sharing advice and stories of life
Everybody's got a tale, so open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say good bye
I can feel the heat beatin' down on my bare feet
From the pavement of the yard by the window
I watch that crescent moon rise up
I can see the wind blowing through the fields of wheat
So I check the mailbox and I grab the letter
I see that you finally found me
Then happiness fills my soul till I realize
I'm dreaming, this is not reality
The road unwinds carrying me through the night
A flash of headlights in my eyes, and they're breathing down my neck
With my journal in my hand, I'm writing, capturing the essence of the ride
Meeting new friends every hour, sharing advice and stories of life
Everybody's got a tale, so open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say good bye
Last Letter Read (Never Heard Of It)
I erased your name
Pictures all thrown away
Its easier this way
Things were good
I never should have been so scared
To be so happy
Never thought i could i would have never
thought i'd feel this way
Are you my friend
To me ive lost my friend
I could have said some things that isnt fair
Your the text inside my book
That isnt there anymore
Are you my friend
I listened to
That Cd read those letters one last time
Remember when we'd drive to san diego
We would laugh id hold ur hand
And you would stay those nights
Did u ever think i would say
Are you my friend
To me ive lost my friend
I could have said some things that ill regret
All the lyrics on the blank cd
Youll get from me
Are you my friend
I called you yesterday
I called you like a month ago to say im sorry
The times i talked to you before the time
It never was you
Are you my friend
To me ive lost my friend
I could have said some things that wasnt fair
Your the text inside my book
That isnt there anymore
Are you my friend
To me ive lost my friend
I could have said something that ill regret
All the lyrics on the blank cd
Youll get from me
To you my friend
Miserere (The Cat Empire)
Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams?
- your reflection in shadows and dreams
Did you ever see a man
who did walk down the street
white robe with no shoes on his feet
and on top of his head place a box with two slits
and the sign from his neck said
I do not exist
or a woman who could not remember her name
did stutter and stutter
again and again
and saw you and called you her son
her eyes said
my being is gone
but still Im not dead?
Miserere
Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
have you ever touched a thought
have you ever tasted nothing
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth
because truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to you?
And what did it say
it is that it is this
this goes here here is there
it is not yes it is
it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you ever my friends
been looking around?
And the other replies
with a wave of a hand
I am already here
in this promised land
but not by a god and not by a king
and not by a spirit
deep from within
I am here
because a miracles a whim
its a flash of glory
its an empty tin
and maybe might lets you in
not to save you
but to keep on looking-
Miserere
Have you ever
been so happy that youre sad?
that the lights turn to stars
and the stars become eyes
and hellos are goodbyes
and the laughs are the sighs
and the show disappears with the note
until next time
Long live living
if living can be this
Long live living
if living can be this
Long live living
if living can be this
Long live living
if living can be this
Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams
Do you ever look around
and find what is yet to be found?
40 Days (Emil Bulls)
Yeah check one two ... now I`ve got the clue baby ... let`s dance
This garden was full of boxes filled with my favourite toys
I never felt remorse when I provoked the winds that blew them all away
I`m creeping on all fours again I`m begging for rain
To wash all my sins away...crosscountry
Now it`s time to use my brain because
For fourty days I was caught in a room without a view
My head`s spinning around from all my dirty thoughts real filthy thoughts
I wanted to find peace of mind but all I got was hate and self deception
In the prime of life the dead of winter has arrived
I`m feeling fagged shagged and fashed
Come on treat me with a little love
You know I like it hard and dirty
This garden was full of people I should have kissed but know it`s too late
The wind blew them far away crosscountry that`s the end of the line god bless and happy drinkin
Two Shoes (The Cat Empire)
One day one woman asked him
what do you to survive?
he said oh my dear listen here
and this is what he cried
On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing
dancing to be free
my feet theyre paying tribute to
the Bobby Marley legacy
My knees theyve got some cuts and bruises
from skating all my days
when im skating with my friends
my troubles drift away
I say my legs theyre wearing baggy pants
I like to move around
cos getting down and jumping up
these are some good things that I found
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the empire be rising
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak we making some lovin
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the greedy men running
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak got two shoes for dancin
My waist its got a slinky belt
with a clip thats quick to open
because loving is the sweetest thing
and from my waist it happen
And my stomachs got some tasty food
thats making me feel good
cos sharing some meals is something
i wish the world could do
And my chest it wears a singlet
ah my chest it beating proud
my chest suggest I am a man
that no institution can knock down
And around my neck is superstition
hanging from a chain
because ive got my gods but in the end
I make my own way
CHORUS
My mouth its got a great big smile
that shows some great big teeth
to friends it brings a happiness
and to enemies it means defeat
And my eyes theyve got some vision
that can see through many lies
ah my eyes they look for better things
the better things to see in life
And my ears are wearing head phones
that do play my favourite songs
not music im told to like
but the songs that make me dance along
Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing
dancing to be free
my feet theyre paying tribute to
the bobby marley legacy
1001 (The Cat Empire)
Parking Inspector
- just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
Went to my friends
when I found a fine beat
cos I like to play a rhythm
where the rhythm plays me
play it all day
on a balcony above the street
where old Franky and me we
shuffle with our feet
And old man Goergie
takes some sugar with his tea
when hes stirred by a melody
of hands moving easy
you see it reminds him
dreams by the sea
where the breeze blows
underneath that island tree
And we played til the playing
Gave us the munchies
then we played in the kitchen
made the easy gods happy
cos we left them a little chilli-special
and some chocolate we eat because its sweet
when I leave I am smiling
at the things I havent done
oh I havent broke a sweat
and I havent had to run
for the list of one-thousand
-and-one that does plague me
on some days
when the sun rays dont come
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
[wont let you wreck my fun]
When I get to my car
I am faced with a sight
that is strange and its sad
and its mad its not right
theres one thousand and one
spaces free but I see
that he find me guilty
of the time over fee
Now I know why my mother
why my mother warned me
said you might be lucky
but know nothing comes for free
she is right - entirely
cos the ticket paid the song
that I sing to this beat
Parking inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah parking inspector
wont let you wreck my fun
cos when I pay for my ticket
I wont curse and despise
no ill run into the girl
with the slinky blue eyes
then my list of one thousand and one
will remain
I had plans to get it done
but now my plans they have changed
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
one thousand and one
but ah Parking Inspector
just listen to the bass and the funky drums
Parking Inspector
just made my list of one thousand
grow a little more
but ah parking inspector
you wont believe what I saw
on the back of my ticket
with invisible type
was a map to the place
with one thousand delights
and a key that was one to that
spot by the sea where the breeze
blows underneath that island tree
Lullaby (The Cat Empire)
I cannot say oh sweetness
like he could
and I cannot play a lullaby
like it should
Ill give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
its never too late for that lovin
my **y babe
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
because shes got that torment
to a fine art
smart like a foxy
and craf-ty-as-a-cat
im looking up
as im lying on my back
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
but shes taken the feast
in the blink of an eye
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
whats going on
- it feels so right
when it seems so wrong
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
- ask what shes schemes
she say oh this and that
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
puts the drum in the drama
the hand in the clap
shes a map with no bearings
attached - no
safety-in-this-match
fire you cant catch
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
then by breakfast honey
we was signed and sworn
Ill give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
its never too late for that lovin
my **y babe
something always telling me
save prayers before dawn
cos what happens when Im with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
Im worn out but Im beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
This game is no game
but its played all the same
and I love it even
if it makes me deranged
its like tears in the rain
burning spears in my brain
cause me pain sometimes
make me drained
but I cannot complain
- mad the ugly good and bad
had some happy with my sad
and some tricks in my bag
when its up run a muck
like a bull that just bucked
when its down its a drag
and you fight with no partner to tag
- at times I would dive in the sea
to escape from the rising
and crashing malea
drink tea with a fat fish
and find a golden key
then rise to the surface
and open my baby
and maybe shed say we are crazy
the two of us together like melbourne weather
be like balls in a maze see
we rolling along in obscurity
but when we meet in the middle
say mmm its a treat
Ill give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
- it might be late but
its never too late for that lovin
my **y babe
something always telling me
save your prayers before dawn
cos what happens when Im with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
Im worn out but Im beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
I used to laugh
but now I have to cry
because today my baby tell me
that its time to say goodbye
ask her why what did I do?
You and me we were so sly
then she sigh thats true
we were slinky through and through
but its sad and its set
I get high then I get depressed
and I guess when were together
its that happy kind of stress
touching left right down
kiss my finger I reply
I cant deny you were the best
and by the best I mean the mess you made
I must confess I never
met-a-more **y maid
that smell like me
so bless your wayward ways
and loving craze and crazy days
and things youde say
and looks you made
youre not the queen of hearts
youre the queen of spades
and youde take my breath away
any day that way
so anyway is this the end?
Is this the fifth act of the play?
I kissed her then I turned
and was about to walk away
when I sense a little tingle
that begin down from below
then I hear her with a whisper
youre the most gullible man I know
The Car Song (The Cat Empire)
The weekend is the weekend
And its sunny in the park
Ill stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark
Ive got a lot of homework
But homework he can wait
I never start my homework till its already too late
My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same
But its hard
When theres a basketball game in the park
Its 1998
And everybodys saying:
Harry, youre going to be a lawyer some day
Its Monday bloody Monday
And theres two things I forgot
I forgot to do my homework
And Ive only got one sock
Im halfway through a test
But I just cant concentrate
Im sitting next to Fontaine
I want to ask her on a date
I really want to start a conversation
But each time she walks past
I start choking on my pencil
And fall flat on my ass
I need to concentrate
I have to get this grade
Or I might fail to be a lawyer someday
BRIDGE
But just right now
Can think of anything better to do
Than just sit down at the piano and a write this tune
And maybe later
Maybe later in the afternoon
Ill sit back and relax
And think of all the things Im going to do
CHORUS
Someday
Ill buy an old car
Someday
Ill get that car to start
Someday
Ill learn how to drive too
And then Someday
Imagine all the things I could do.
(That was 1998 now
Bring it forward to the present day now
Cause some things have changed
but some things never change)
The weekend is the weekend
And its sunny in the park
Ill stay here with my beer and fish n chips till it gets dark
I just saw Peter Parsons
Who used to be in my class
I always gave him wedgies cause I thought he worked too hard
He said, Harry, life is great
I feel so happy these days
Im a litigation lawyer
So I got it made
Im going out with Fontaine
Rememer her from tenth grade?
I drive a Porsche so I cant complain
BRIDGE
Shit! And look at me cant think of anything better to do
That just sit down at the piano and write this tune
And maybe later
Maybe later in the afternoon
Ill sit back and relax and think of all the things Im going to do
CHORUS
