Happy Song 04:03
Mamma said never to walk in other people’s shadows, Pappa said to be brave bold as brass as we were yesterday Now I see the road ahead covered in Ice silhouette... Sometimes We Could Be Sad, Mad, Glad, Bad Sometimes, We Could Be Happy, We Could Be Happy, Sometimes We Could Be Sad, Mad, glad, Bad Sometimes We Could Be Happy, We Could BE Happy We Could Be Happy..... Mamma said to be free like the wind and disappear. Pappa said to be a man you've got to take it in your hands... Now I've grown to be a man I take it where I stand.... Sometimes We Could Be Sad, Mad, Glad, Bad. Sometimes We Could Be Happy, We Could Be Happy, Sometimes We Could Be Sad, Mad, glad, Bad. Sometimes We Could Be Happy, We Could Be Happy We Could Be ... Now I know where we're going to, To a land of opportunities. We're living life of luxury, As you stand there with your tainted smile.... Guitar solo. Sax Solo Sometimes We Could Be Sad, Mad, glad, Bad. Sometimes We Could Be Happy, We Could Be Happy, Sometimes We Could Be Sad, Mad, glad, Bad. Sometimes We Could Be Happy.

Walk On By 04:21
Walk On I see the sun beat down on the waters edge I see the blossom bloom on the inset I hear mixed messages on the radio As the sun turns red I walk on by and wait for you I walk on by with you CHORUS: You walk on by and take my hand You walk on by cheek to cheek You walk on by ,Walk.... Walk on By.... Walk on......... I see the wind swept valley below As the trees vibrate I see the possums by the moonlight I hear mixed messages on the TV As the dawn sets in I walk on by and wait for you I walk on by with you SOLO Chorus AGAIN I hear foot steps down in the park below I see the ripple of the waves out on the reach I hear mixed messages on the radio As the sky turns blue I walk on by and wait for you I walk on by with you (Repeat Chorus)

Verse 1: I was standing with miss perfection Sucking On Ice confections Watching her close infection Telling me little white lies Verse 2: I was staring in her direction Standing in her intentions Looking at her sweet affection Telling Little White Lies (sweet surrender) Chorus: Little White Lies (Sweet Surrender) Little White Lies (Sweet Surrender) Verse 3: There she stood in my reflection Staring at me in my direction Watching her skin complexion Telling Little White Lies Verse 4: There stood I with Mixed reactions Leaving My best impression Looking Beyond imperfection Telling Little White Lies (Repeat Chorus/ Guitar solo ) ( Repeat Verse 1 and 2 then Repeat Chorus

You walk in the door with your hands in your pants and you don’t know where you are. You spin spin around , sing and shout and shake up the dance floor. You look young so refined , so starry eyed. There’s tall Sue who know what to do and where to move and she says…. You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over To The Trouser Party…. There’s a Celebration at the station and hope you don’t leave too soon. There’s alchemy , toxic bloom, and the latest accessory. Financial booming, Global warming and the latest catastrophe. Start dancing , avalanching Watch out because she says… You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over… To The Trouser Party…. Electric Guitar solo There’s plenty of food with lots to do, And you don’t feel so secure. You look around mix a drink, as you walk past the dance floor. A new wave , A new Craze Out on the last crusade You start dancing , Start romancing… You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over To The Trouser Party…. You know what I wear every night and day Its jean, Corduroys at The Trouser Party You know what I see every night and day It’s jeans, corduroys so come on over To The Trouser Party….

You can see the Earth moving from under my feet. You can hear the distant thunder upon the street. But what do you know? Learn.. What do you fear ? Love.... What do you know? What do you care? Start Making Sense Start Making What you Want Start Making History Start Making What you want, Whatever you like Start Making What you want Start Making Sense.... You can see the world change from the democratic race. You can hear the footsteps falling down the aisle. But what do you know? Learn.. What do you fear ? Love.... What do you know? What do you care? Start Making Sense Start Making What you Want Start Making History Start Making What you want, Whatever you like Start Making What you want Start Making Sense.... You can sink a sailing ship from the middle of the ocean. You can see the soldier crying upon their fate. What do you know ? Learn... What do you fear ? Love.... What do you know? What do you care? Start Making Sense. Start Making What you Want Start Making History Start Making What you want, Whatever you like Start Making What you want, Whatever you like Start Making Sense....

Baby what are you doing tonight? You have your lipstick and you feel fine. Maybe you walking down without a soul Sometimes it’s not easy when your walking alone Your walking high in your dreams a shadow of the night..... Chorus:- She says:- I couldn’t believe it when you turn me upside down again I couldn’t believe it when you spin me round and round again I couldn’t believe it When you turn me upside down I couldn’t believe it When you spin me round and round again BRIDGE:- Around again into your room into your heart lets make a new start. Baby I can see the world change at my feet There’s a revolution going on Barkly Street tonight Sometimes it’s not easy when you walking that broken line And Sometimes it’s not easy when you walking alone at night- REPEAT CHORUS/BRIDGE

In the town of plenty , There is a boy just watching. He becomes the man of decisions He becomes the voice of reason. This is the life of many While the girl awaits decisions If everyone could stop Everyone would see... (whoa, whoa x2) CHORUS: What’s the colour of money? That’s the choice of many What’s the colour of money? That’s the answer to freedom What’s the colour of money? That’s the vision of many? What’s the colour of money? That’s the answer to freedom. Far across the desert There is a man of interest He has the golden treasure Without the fruition This has become legend As we sow the seeds of living If everyone could stop ... Everyone could see........ CHORUS: What’s the colour of money? That’s the choice of many What’s the colour of money? That’s the answer to freedom What’s the colour of money? That’s the vision of many? What’s the colour of money? That’s the answer to freedom. Solos – KeysBridge We can travel all around the world We can be what we want to be You buy your jewelry while I buy my time I can make a fortune just digging up the past. STOP We will remember We will remember

I woke up this morning with ice at my feet, And I recalled lost images of you. You were standing there counting out those humble times… Where the deep blue sea divides And the haunted breeze takes you aside… She’s no ordinary girl She’s just one of a kind She’s no ordinary girl She’s the loving kind Solo Walked upon the streets last night. And Looked upon the harvest moon. Well, there she stood under stardust skies She whispered to me in breathless rhyme. Where the deep blue sea divides And the haunted breeze takes you aside.. She’s no ordinary girl She’s just one of a kind She’s no ordinary girl She’s the loving kind Where the deep blue sea divides. And the haunted breezes takes you aside. She was far from the Netherlands…. Solo /end

Enough 03:53
Scott wants to be a lawyer so he can travel in his sports car. Suzie wants to live in the city in a nuclear free zone. Where work and pay is rewarding and the future looks so bright. She says : There is Enough for everyone, Is Enough for you and me. There is Enough for Everyone, Is Enough for all to See. There is Enough for everyone, Is Enough for you and me. There is Enough for Everyone, Is Enough for all to See. Doug wants to live on the outskirts of town Where Poverty is not prevalent and where living is all cheap - Oh Yeah Suzie wants to have a baby so she can tell tall stories, Of its inheritance and all the glory. She said:- There is Enough for everyone is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone is enough for all to see. There is Enough for everyone is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone is enough for all to see. Once Suzie left Scott he had big bills to pay. Scott's little baby just crawled its youth away. Scott couldn't understand so he drank his life away..... Harmonica SOLO He says we can change for the better. Count the lessons on one hand. We can change like the wind Or We can take a chance,. n a moment of fury we just had romance. She said:- There is Enough for everyone is enough for you and me There is Enough for everyone is enough for all to see Harmonica solo There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for all to see. There is Enough for everyone, is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for all to see. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for you and me. There is Enough for everyone ,is enough for all to see.

The Only One We’re standing in a crowded room Counting the faces of freedom We knew where we were We saw changes of indifference We escaped from the truth Hidden in a lost adventure Adventure tale……. Chorus:- Yeah you’re the only one to hear not speak no evil Yeah you’re the only one to hear not speak no evil The Only One, The Only One The Only One …. We looked up in the cold night air To see what we could find We heard the familiar tune So we turned down the lights Our papers rustled in the wind As we fled to a foreign shore What for ? To her heart…. Repeat Chorus:- Yeah you’re the only one to hear not speak no evil Yeah you’re the only one to hear not speak no evil The Only One, The Only One The Only One …. Bridge: If you are heading Downunder You ‘ll know where you are Walking through the city Girl you’re the only one…….. Breakdown/solo Repeat Chorus: Yeah you’re the only one to hear not speak no evil Yeah you’re the only one to hear not speak no evil The Only One, The Only One The Only One …. ….. The Only, The Only, The Only,The Only …The Only One…
