Televangelist

I won’t control you, oh
I want the whole you, oh
I’d never change you, oh
I want the strange you, oh
Who am I to try and deny?
It’s written in the stars up in the sky
You got me doing the twist
Like a televangelist
Down on my knees
Begging you please
You make my whole body shake
Like a California quake
However it aches
Whatever it takes
I won’t try to save you, oh
Enslave or deprave you, oh
I won’t exchange you, oh
I won’t rearrange you, oh
Who am I to try and deny?
It’s written in the stars up in the sky
You got me doing the twist
Like a televangelist
Down on my knees
Begging you please
You make my whole body shake
Like a California quake
However it aches
Whatever it takes
My mind’s in a bind
All of the time
Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
You got me doing the twist
Like a televangelist
Down on my knees
Begging you please
You make my whole body shake
Like a California quake
However it aches
Whatever it takes

It Would Be A Delight
03:14
|
|||
|
Instead of giving in to the doom and gloom
Staring at the 4 cornered walls of our living room
Waiting for some action, any ole distraction
Maybe we should do it ourselves
We always say we’ll get away one of these days
Maybe we should drop everything and go out and play
We don’t need excuses, waiting round is useless
We’ll hit the gas and find something else
Let’s get away without a delay
Just you and I - King and Queen for the day
Let’s get lost whatever the cost
We’ll do it right, it would be a delight
Now that we have finished our coffee cup
Without another thought, let’s head out and never let up
We don’t need no others, coz we got each other
Turn up the radio, here we go!
Let’s get away without a delay
Just you and I - King and Queen for the day
Let’s get lost whatever the cost
We’ll do it right, it would be a delight
No one telling us we can’t
We out here and we’re making plans
It might seem insignificant
But it’s so nice when you take life in your hands
Let’s get away without a delay
Just you and I - King and Queen for the day
Let’s get lost whatever the cost
We’ll do it right, it would be a delight
How’s it’s been 3 hours of watching you pack
Feeling kinda lazy and now I’m needing a snack
Everything we want is right at home around us
Let’s order up some food and stay in!
Why don’t we stay in, forget what I said
Just you and I - in our king size bed
Lounging in robes, who needs all these clothes
We’ll finish those books, we’ll watch all our shows
Why don’t we stay in, forget what I said
Just you and I - in our king size bed
Lounging in robes, who needs all these clothes clothes
We’ll do it right, it would be a delight

Summer Rain
03:29
|
|||
|
Ohhh, I don’t know what day it is
How long have I been dreaming?
I have so much to do today
But now I feel that’s changing
I step outside and I look up
The sky starts falling from above
I’m soaking in the summer rain
And you won’t hear me complain
I’m soaking in the summer rain
Cancel all my plans today
And just like that it quickly stopped
Was it too much of a good thing?
I waited til the final drop
I hear a bird begin to sing
And when I thought it was the end
The sky starts falling once again
I’m soaking in the summer rain
And you won’t hear me complain
I’m soaking in the summer rain
Cancel all my plans today
And when the sun refuse to shine
When everybody hides themselves away
When I am alone at night
The sound of rain takes me to Seattle
And I don’t even have to travel
I’m soaking in the summer rain
And you won’t hear me complain
I’m soaking in the summer rain
Cancel all my plans today
And when the sun refuse to shine
When everybody hides themselves away
When I am alone at night
The sound of rain takes me to Seattle
And I don’t even have to travel
I’m soaking in the summer rain
And you won’t hear me complain
I’m soaking in the summer rain
Cancel all my plans today
I’m soaking in the summer rain
I’m soaking in the summer rain
I’m soaking in the summer rain
I’m soaking in the summer rain

The Day Tom Petty Died
03:12
|
|||
|
Oh, the last time I got high
Was the day Tom Petty died
Laying on my back
With headphones on
I couldn’t even cry
I laid there asking why
Letting you explain
It all in song
Ohh, you’re a heartbreaker
Ohhh, you’re a heartbreaker
And when I hear your voice
I never have a choice
It cuts right through
Alive and oh so true
Ohh, you’re a heartbreaker
Ohhh, you’re a heartbreaker
It’s with a thankful heart
Though breaking all apart
What you sang in song
Will carry on
Ohh, you’re a heartbreaker
Ohh, you’re a heartbreaker
Ohh, you’re a heartbreaker
Ohh, you’re a heartbreaker

A Sight For Sore Eyes
03:25
|
|||
|
Oh you’re a sight for sore eyes
Yet it's no surprise
You always find your way in
And then you find your way out again
Are you back now?
Will you stay now?
It don’t phase me
But it drives me crazy
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Whenever you arrive
Your diamonds shine so bright
I almost can’t believe
You played it all with one hand
But something up your sleeve
Are you back now?
Will you stay now?
It don’t phase me
But it drives me crazy
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Whenever you arrive
When will I see?
The whole world agree
We’re all out of place
This love we’ve replaced
When will I see?
I'm not free, oh
You sold my name to the press
Said you couldn’t care less
Where did we get so off track
But for now I know I really shouldn't ask
Are you back now?
Will you stay now?
It don’t phase me
But it drives me crazy
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Every time you arrive

Baby You're A Faker
03:32
|
|||
|
When you run out of emotions you pretend to have
Looking for a magic rabbit in your hat
Everyone will see that you are singing flat
But I knew all along
Have you ever had a single thought to call your own
I’m sorry if it’s breaking news your cover's blown
The emperor was never wearing any clothes
But I knew all along
And when your house of cards fall
You’ll see how thin the ice you skate on is
Baby you’re a faker
A knockoff Gucci handbag
You shake your moneymaker
I’m only seeing red flags
While you’re second-guessing all your second-hand advice
Looking at solutions for the lowest price
You think you’ve fooled me once, you think you fooled me twice
But I knew all along
And when your house of cards fall
You’ll see how thin the ice you skate on is
Baby you’re a faker
Your silver turns my skin green
Baby you’re a taker
Your love’s a pyramid scheme
Baby you’re a faker
A paint-by-numbers Van Gogh
No one gonna take her
I think it’s time that you know
Baby you’re a faker
Baby you’re a faker
Baby you’re a faker
Baby you’re a faker

The Scenic Route
02:44
|
|||
|
I was on the outside
I was on the outside looking in
I didn’t know where I’m going
And I didn’t know where to begin
You always had it together
I had to find a way however I could
You were what I wanted
But I’d never guessed someday you would
Coz I’m traveling on the scenic route
I’ll get there when I do, I have no doubt
It might take me a while, but I’m not counting the miles - no more
Away from the loud, away from the crowd - the scenic route
All the hustle and bustle
All the who and what and where and why
I had to find my own way
And I see ‘em on the side, while I go by
Coz I’m traveling on the scenic route
I’ll get there when I do, I have no doubt
It might take me a while, but I’m not counting the miles - no more
Away from the loud, away from the crowd - the scenic route
Always travel on the scenic route
Always travel on the scenic route

Pick Up The Phone
03:27
|
|||
|
I’ve been inside my head all day
I’m trying to work out what to say
But it’s scribbled up and down my face
And it’s on display
If i could take it all back now
I don’t know where, why, when or how
Coz it’s been 3 weeks without a sound
Why won’t you come around?
Pick up the phone, I'm all alone now
Hurry it up, I need you back somehow
Gimme a call and let me crawl back to your throne
Pick up the phone
Why must you go run and hide
Wouldn’t it be better if we hit rewind
I feel it up and down my spine
Now my call’s declined
If I could only speak my mind
We’ll find a way, give it a little time
It doesn’t have to be defined
Can I get you on the line?
Pick up the phone, I'm all alone now
Hurry it up, I need you back somehow
Gimme a call and let me crawl back to your throne
So I try, all day and all night
Is this goodbye or is this your plan
And I cry til the morning sunlight
I’ve given all that I think I can
But I know you are home, probably holding your phone
Pick up the phone, I'm all alone now
Hurry it up, I need you back somehow
Pick up the phone, I'm all alone now
Hurry it up, I need you back somehow
Pick up the phone, I'm all alone now
Hurry it up, I need you back somehow
Gimme a call and let me crawl back to your throne
Pick up the phone

I'm Not Mad Anymore
03:35
|
|||
|
Oh, I get it
You go up, I go down
The universe is safe and sound
I accept it
Heads or tails, red or blue
You won’t be happy until it’s through
They only want you when you’re on top
No one will touch you when you’re circling the drain
Now I’m living in a pawn shop
Without your worries always stabbing me in the brain
I’m not mad anymore
I didn’t mean to be mean
I’m not mad anymore
Oh, it takes work
But you knew that from day one
Always believing in one outcome
Don’t forget
There’s no future, there’s no past
And it's only our love that will last
They only want you when you’re on top
No one will touch you when you’re circling the drain
Now I’m living in a pawn shop
Without your worries always stabbing me in the brain
They only want you when you’re on top
No one will touch you when you’re circling the drain
Now I’m living in a pawn shop
Without your worries always stabbing me in the brain
I’m not mad anymore
I didn’t mean to be mean
I’m not mad anymore
I didn’t mean to be mean
I’m not mad anymore
I’m not mad anymore
I’m not mad anymore
I’m not mad anymore

Good night, my sweet darlin’
Sun rise will wake the mornin'
It will be alright
The storm will pass us by
Sleep tight, my sweet darlin’
Outside the snow is fallin’
But here by fire light
We will be warm and dry
Good night, my sweet darlin’
Sun rise will wake the mornin'
But I’ll be up and
But I’ll be up and gone

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.
