There's a friend of mine, when she's around
She can take a good time,
Make it better, so much better
A thin white girl to take around the world
Feel so cool, your drink tastes fine
Tomorrow's so close, tomorrow's so
Wanna stay awake till I'm with you
And feel like this forever
And I wanna go on a holiday
The beautiful Waikato River
But she can't understand
Why a bird was given wings, wasn't mean to fly
She can't understand why we were given it
When we weren't meant to get high
Yesterday I found another way to face the day
Without fear, without Steinlager beer
Just a sniff, a smile on my face
Because you never know how far you will go
So I take a lucky dip into the unknown
Better make sure tomorrow's a holiday yeah
So far away
When you're so far away
She can't understand
Why a bird was given wings, wasn't mean to fly
She can't understand why we were given it
When we weren't meant to get high

Dark Pantomime

This life is like hard time
Without your sparkling light
Don't ride away from the home we made
Please don't break the bonds we tied
I carry you with me everyday
Don't make the same mistakes I made
Footprints in the sand will be
Washed away by the tide
Hiding up in my brain
Hoping you're OK
Finding beautiful memories
Like pictures floating in space
Seeing your face at Christmas
Swimming in the Medlands waves
I don't want to be alone in the breakers
This world's turning cold and grey
I gave you my heart and soul
Watched you play, watched you grow
Carry you with me everyday
This dark pantomime's not how life's supposed to
Walking in the sand
With some ghosts from yesterday
Family pictures on my bedroom wall
Can't look at my father's face
What kind of evil promises
To fill their minds with venomous nonsense
Don't break up someone else's family
Out of spite
It's been a 12 year fight for access
To who is mine
Each day, similar alienation
Sees another father take his life
Spent the last eight months forsaken
Playing my part, slowly breaking
Living in the loneliness
Where these dark ideas reside
I gave you my heart and soul
Watched you play, watched you grow
Hope you figure it out someday
This dark pantomime's not how life's supposed to
I gave you my heart and soul
Watched you play, watched you grow
Carry you with me everyday
This dark pantomime's not how life's supposed to flow no

Hate

You're not sorry for the wrong that you did
You forget about it everyday
You think that you've got all the answers
And you got me put away
Karma's coming, it's gonna come and get ya
One day you're gonna go down
You think that you will go to heaven
Let God sort you out
Till then I say
Hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate isn't strong enough word
Hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate it's not a strong enough word
Some people stick it out forever
People think that you're great
I'd rather be going my own way
Than live through your lies today
Now I'm feeling much better with my freedom
Without you this time
Every moment locked up made me think
Time to leave you all behind
And hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate isn't strong enough word
Hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate it's not a strong enough word
Whatever happened to my everything
All my world was my everything
And from the cell I hear people scream
And I'm so far, I'm locked up in a dream
And then I said
Hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate isn't strong enough word
Hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate isn't strong enough word
Hate isn't strong enough word to use
Hate isn't strong enough word
Hate isn't a strong enough word to use
Hate it's not a strong enough word
