Winchester Wax

This place had it all
When we were too cool for school
Rifling through the racks
All the good tunes
That hit all the right notes
Talking 'bout Winchester Wax
Golden oldie goldmine
By the Golden Bridge
Clad in Sta-Prest burgundy slacks
All felt so smooth
When you found your own groove
Whatever works in Winchester Wax
Something always turned up
Digging in the past
Ashes and diamonds in the stacks
If only we could stay
Forever and a day
Living off the classical tracks
And if things go down the tubes
No one else to blame
We had all the clues
That the songs remain the same
Gatefold memories
And triple LPs
Getting off and going back
An undercover smoke filled room
The one you painted black
It’s easy looking back
To have the presence of mind
I didn’t think I’d fall through the cracks
Whatever I did wrong
I’m keeping all the songs
From down at the Winchester Wax
Down at the Winchester Wax

Little Lion

In the bedroom next to mine a woman’s growing
Look out here she comes
She's shown no signs of slowing
She’s busy getting ready
Ready for the world
Like a queen, so serene, strong and brave
Cleopatra’s not a patch on her
Treats me like a slave
So I help her to get ready
Ready for the world
And I know you’ll see some places
And I know you will go far
And you’ve told me how you’ll get there
In a pink Lamborghini or a unicorn car
I love you Little Lion
Little Lion I love you
I love you Little Lion
Little Lion I love you
Will you remember that we sung some songs together
Went out for some walks
In any rainy weather
While we were getting
Ready for the world
If I turn around I know you’ll soon be going
Whatever happens next
No real way of knowing
But I know that you’ll be ready
Ready for the world
So don’t forget me lady
Whatever it is you do
And if you ever need me
I’ll be here for you
I love you Little Lion
Little Lion I love you
I love you Little Lion
Little Lion I love you

Paul & Robin

Sailing away
In the last century
With not a care
For whatever would come to be
Happy in the knowledge
That you were side by side
Port and starboard lovers
Drifting out with the Blackwater tide
Paul and Robin
You were a crew of two
Made to be together
In your cotton sailing jackets
Of sun faded blue
So long ago but
So bright it seems to me
You shared a joy of living
And a life where you were free
When your yacht was in our garden
I climbed on board to play
Making my adventures
Thinking life would remain this way
So Paul and Robin
You were a crew of two
Made to be together
In your cotton sailing jackets
Of sun faded blue

Indidginess

Beers in the Bentley Bar
Bev’s in Bondi Beach
What seemed so far away
Now it’s all in reach
Blunnies in the back of Bourke
Parsley Bay to pass the time
Byron Bay and brownies
But back to base for wine
Making a red sauce spiral
That sits on top of a pie
Red bubbles red ball SCG
Chelsea’s on an Erko high
Indidginess in one
Indidginess two three
Indidginess for you
Indidginess for me
Going up the guts
Kakadu rendezvous
Blisters ‘n’ boots in Alice
Red sunset Uluru
Blackfella in the red centre
Talks about the dreamtime
I feel at home and somewhere different
All at the same time
At home and somewhere different
All at the same time
Indidginess
Indidginess
Indidginess

The Fridge Song

In my fridge milk is nice and cold
Eggs stay fresh as the day when they were sold
In my fridge butter keeps from getting old
I can go there when I please
In my fridge time seems to stand still
Things just stay to hang around and chill
Sometimes my fridge can give me a thrill
When I gotta lotta cheese
Here comes the fridge
But sooner or later
In the refrigerator
Things will start to decay
Life sneaks in and finds a way
There goes another day
Easy to forget about the due date
The best before ain't even a debate
Try and stay fresh before it’s too late
Life ain't always such a breeze
Cos the cold can only hold you for so long
Things get stale and old and go wrong
That’s all there was to say in this song
You better move on or freeze
So you gotta get outta the fridge
You gotta get outta the fridge
And don’t be too cool
Cos we all end up cold some day.
Don’t be too cool
We all end up cold one day

Right Is Wrong
02:25

Just seems like I can’t do nothing ever right
Turn every day into some kind of fight
If I could get the fire to light
To sleep at night
Maybe I might
Be less uptight
Yeah right
There is no way of getting through to you
Wrong is right and right is wrong
Day is night and night is long
And nothing I can say is ever true
Right is wrong and wrong is right
Time goes fast and I just might
Quit before my face turns blue
Feels as if I kinda get things awful wrong
Like trying to fit what I want to say into this song
Now I’m too weak when I should be strong
Don’t belong
Just go along
Til time is gone
Guess I’m done
I can’t find a way of starting out anew
Wrong is right and right is wrong
Day is night and night is long
And nothing I can do is good for you
Right is wrong and wrong is right
Time is short and it feels right
To end what now must feel so overdue
Wrong is right and right is wrong
Day is night and night is long
And I just don’t know what I’m gonna do
Right is wrong and wrong is right
Life is short and and so tonight
I bid my goodbyes to you

Bricks At The Bottom
03:43
|

When we got started to do what we oughta
Didn’t know a much about bricks and mortar
What do we do, and how do we start?
Just a day at a time, and love in my heart
No matter how big you gotta start small
Sometimes it’s a wonder things stay up at all
Mansions and homesteads and skyscrapers got 'em
They all got started with bricks at the bottom
Mansions and homesteads and skyscrapers got 'em
They all got started with bricks at the bottom
Now this construction had an odd design
Some of it was yours, and some of it was mine
But we always kept building, through thick and thin
And you should be proud of the state we are in
So it will stand out
Stand out from a crowd
Cos you are so different,
Makes you special somehow
Mansions and homesteads and skyscrapers got 'em
They all got started with bricks at the bottom
Mansions and homesteads and skyscrapers got 'em
They all got made with bricks at the bottom
And no need to say sorry, there’s no shame and no guilt
Cos in the end it’s just the way things are built
And that’ll be our story of how it got made
And the way it turned out is the way that it stayed
So nothing needs fixing not much anyhow
You’ll be loved as you are the way you’re loved so much now
Mansions and homesteads and skyscrapers got 'em
They all got started with bricks at the bottom
Yes mansions and homesteads, skyscrapers got 'em
When all’s said and done they got bricks at the bottom
When all’s said and done they got bricks at the bottom
