- Choirgirl
Looking like a choir girl
Crying like a refugee
Looking like a choir girl
Crying like a refugee
One nurse to hold her
One nurse to wheel her down
The corridors of heeling
And I've been trying
- Flame Trees
Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We share some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Time to book a room to stay tonight
Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same"
- I Gotta Get Back On the Road
There’s a lone jet-trail west of the moon
Nothing for a thousand miles below
A one-pump roadhouse, late afternoon
My time is over here, I gotta go
I gotta get back on the road
Finish up and pay
There’s nothing here as good as a girl I know
- Juliet
Jet-lag cramps the lonely face
Cheek-bones pinched and tired
It's a cold tarmac breeze
That wraps the terminal around
Flight-times drag the night along
Cab skids down the freeway
Time to find a bed
For the weeks ahead
- Khe Sanh
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand
About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-dayheroes in 1973
- Merry-Go Round
I cried my tears in a glass of tequila
For a truck-stop honey with a dubious name
She held my heart like a blackjack dealer
And took my money when she left the game
She was overly fond of sophisticated messin' around
I've had a bellyful of livin' in the same old merry-go-round
Well I played in the summer and I froze in the winter
And I hankered for the high school beauty queen
- Saturday Night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night's already old
Walking into Sunday, and I find
All desires are cold
I could walk forever, I don't mind
- The Toast Of Paris
We both know you’ll be leaving soon, flying for a day
Following a heart already gone
I can hear your conversation turning inward and away
We both know when it happens you’ll be flying out alone
I’ll watch you disappear like a stone into the blue
Take the loss and never let it show
You think your destination is waiting just for you
- This Big Old Car
[Chorus]
This big old car, gonna take us home
This big old car, gonna take us home
Gonna take us home, to what we know so well
This big old car, gonna take us home
Gonna take us all the way to Brisbane
Take us all the way to Cairns
- When The War Is Over
When The War Is Over
Ain’t nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain’t nobody gonna steal this heart away
When the war is over
Got to get away
Pack my bag to no place
- You Got Nothing I Want
You got nothing I want
You got nothing I need
You got nothing I want
You got nothing I need
You got nothing I want
You got nothing I need
