1.Australia
I saw sunshine
I saw gold
Down that old coastline it was the best time that i'd known
Tell me how far should i go for your love
Oh Australia
My old friends
Ten cardboard cameras to remember what i did
A coaster from a bar
A poster from a show
Oh!!!!
Will i be back again？
Will i be back again？
I don't know
I'll save my money up
I'll go for a Holiday
Winfield's and P.J.'s
Though i would like for more
The show has no encore
2.Gotta Get Out
I waited but all that came was December
I can't remember if I loved you then or if ever
But I can't wait here another day and hope for anything to
change
I gotta get out, gotta get out
I gotta get out, gotta get out
I gotta get out
Yeah!
The city's alive and shining from my window
It looks so dreamy, like we're all underwater
But I can't wait here another day and hope for anything to
change
I gotta get out, gotta get out
I gotta get out, gotta get out
I gotta get out
Yeah!
But I can't wait here another day and hope for anything to
change
I gotta get out, gotta get out
I gotta get out, gotta get out
I gotta get out
Yeah!
3.Ghost Town
The colour's drained away, all the streets are bleeding perfumes
And in the checkout lines a couple jilted teary bridegrooms
The lips all stretch and dance about
And talk of days and months spent lying about
I tried to walk to your place but my bones skipped out
Yeah, this is a ghost town
Every friday night another place 'round here goes up for sale
And the place where lovers met was quarantined after the fallout
scare
We wave from cars like presidents
And the weeds crowed out the monuments
I can't wait until your letter's sent
Yeah, this is a ghost town
Maybe the ground opened up
And swallowed everyone up
It's just you and me so comfortably
The news out on the wire's of a cruise ship lost out at sea
The security guard slept as a bull ran through the gallery
Some take up residence in funeral homes
Some hang thier fuzzy dice in the catacombs
Alexander Graham Bell's crying on the telephone
Yeah, this is a ghost town
4.Longjohns And Toques
Winter took it's time to finally arrive
But boy, it's really here
Gotta little runny nose and little red ears
The little winter wind gives me little winter tears
Oh how i took my time to finally decide
That i want you near
Let's get together for the winter, let's do it all again
We could hold hands through our woolly mittens
I'll wear my longjohns
I'll wear my toque
I'll brave the cold
Just to hold on to you
We usually take it easy when the winter comes around
When there's snow on the ground
But if you're heartbroken there's no such thing as a winter
break
It's the perfect time to go outside and fix your old mistakes
I'll wear my longjohns
I'll wear my toque
I'll brave the cold
Just to hold on to you
Oh baby, do you remember the first time that we met？
The smoke of your cigarette
Mixed with the mist
Of my breath
5.The Defeat
6.Paris Be Mine
China is great
and Brantford is just fine.
I think it was in Ottawa that I had the best time.
Though Montreal's appealing,
oh, I need the real thing.
Paris, oh, Paris,
be mine.
When I was just sixteen years old,
that's when I found out where I needed to go.
Yeah, I found the answer in the Tropic of Cancer,
discovered letters and dirty whores in an ice cream book report.
Now some years have passed and I still know
I found a garden for my heart to grow.
The big Eiffel Tower, like a beautiful metal flower,
was smiling, singing down to me.
She said, 'Si'il je et vous ette ti si.'
And I won't be afraid of no men in berets.
I will dance and parade all over town.
And I can't get hurt by no women in striped shirts.
I won't be shy or embarrassed, no, not here in Paris.
China is great
and my friends are right.
I think of all the crazy nights of drinking cheap red wine.
Though certainly I'll miss you,
I heard they have missed tissues
in Paris, oh, Paris, be mine.
Paris, oh, Paris, be mine once again.
Paris, oh, Paris
be mine.
7.Cuddly Toy
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train
that was left out in the rain
The day after santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you not to love no other
You must have dreamed it in your sleep
8.Randy's Song
Waiting around for something to do
Smoked enough cigarettes to yellow the room
I hope you get back from wherever you're at
It's lonely here without you
Whistling while i'm stocking the shelves
There's the aisle where i laid you down
I take from the till for our house on a hill
Our friends will come around
Sometimes i get surprised by how much i need you
I hope you get back from wherever you're at
It's lonely here without you
9.Please Don't Go
There's a picture taped up on my wall
Taken so long ago, taken at a mall
The happiness of two young kids in love
But you know photographs can only last so long
Please don't go (please please, please don't go)
Please don't go (please please, please don't go)
Please don't go (please please, please don't go)
Please don't go
My friends all tell me that i'm only to blame
That i'm wasting my time as i wait for the day
'She's gone!', 'Move on!' they'd say
But those pictures sure trick us and we cry anyway
Please don't go (please please, please don't go)
Please don't go (please please, please don't go)
Please don't go (please please, please don't go)
Please don't go
'A stubborn lover isn't quite welcome now
Don't be so proud
We won't suggest that you have to forget
But it's time to take that picture down
Time to take that picture down'
10.Sure Was Great
Sure was great to see you
After such a long time
I had nearly forgotten
That sunny park and nine-dollar wine
But it's not a great idea
That's spinning 'round in my head
To try and re-ignite a spark when
It's better to let it die
And while we talked of where you're at
I tried not to think of going back
Sometimes i felt at home
But for now i know i'm better off on my own
Sure was great to see you
Just when i was feeling a little low down
Talking to you on the corner
Brought back so many memories
I hope to see you 'round again
11.Homework
I would love to see you in the morning
Out in the garden pulling out some weeds
And i would love to read to you in the morning
A list of instructions, favours and functions
Of housework for to do for me
Housework
Housework
I would love to see you in the morning
Red-eyed and tired from pulling an all-nighter writing my essay
And i would love to greet you in the morning
And kindly remind you that my essay's not due
For another couple of days
Homework
Homework
There are many ways to say i love you
Love comes in many forms
It could for instance mean homemade cookies
My favourite kind is chocolate chip with just a hint of cinnamon
12.Two Girls From Montreal
Two girls from Montreal
Out in Tokyo
Out to find cute Japanese boys
In a hip-hop club called Harlem
Tanya is a first year student
Her best friend Marise is an actress
And me i'm in a rock and roll band
But the rest of the band has gone to bed
Two girls from Montreal
Would you let me tag along？
Too shy to dance at home
But i might tonight in Tokyo!
And the kids on the street
Passed out on the curb
Don't they know us asians can't drink
When will they ever learn？
Two girls from Montreal
Would you let me tag along？
Too shy to dance at home
But i might tonight in Tokyo!
And the kids on the street
With their heads in their hands
Exhausted and tired, killing time until five
When the subways open again
13.B-B-Bicycles
I found a girl yeah she's so pretty
But my pretty little girl lives in a different city
She's so good yeah she's so sweet
With a pretty little name that starts with a 'B'
B-B-B-B-Bonnie!
B-B-B-B-Bonnie!
She asked me for a record i said you gotta be patient
It's not just a band it's a mode of transportation
And honey when you hear it you're gonna freak
It's the greatest little thing and it starts with a 'B'
B-B-B-Bicycles!
B-B-B-Bicycles!
Bonnie don't you cry if i'm not by your side
One day you'll understand your happiness is your hands
B-B-B-Bonnie!
B-B-B-Bicycles!
You g-g-g-g-g-g-gotta believe
Bonnie and The Bicycles is all i really need
Two little things that start with a 'B'
14.I Will Appear For You
Saw you sitting in your bedroom
Wishing that i could be there too
Lean back and close your eyes
Those tears will soon be dry
I will appear for you
I will appear for you
I will appear for you
Your notebook tells me i'm your favourite
My picture spread out on your carpet
And one above your bed
For late night duets
I will appear for you
I will appear for you
I will appear for you
Did you know i got your card？
The construction paper heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of our two initials
I will appear for you
I will appear for you
I will appear for you
15.I Know We Have To Be Apart
Another night spent on the couch as i think of getting out
I've been put up and put up with all over town
Yeah we talk most every night 'till the dawn's first waking
light
But it gets so hard out on my own
Without your touch to set me right
I get the urge to give in everyday
But i know we have to be apart
And figure out if we should start
All over again, all over again, whoa whoa whoa
Yeah i get lots of advice, and i know they all mean right
But they don't know, could never know how your touch has set me
free
Yeah you know i love you babe, but if it goes on this way
We'll just wind up hurting eachother and destroy the love we've
made
I get the urge to give in everyday
But i know we have to be apart
And figure out if we should start
All over again, all over again, whoa whoa whoa
I want you to know that i'm still in love with you
16.Luck Of Love
Well i love you and you love me
It seems so easy but the funny thing 'bout love
There's one thing rarely mentioned in this rock philosophy
It's just giving up
And giving into luck
(Luck of love)
'If love is a contest
(Luck of love)
Of who waits the longest
Honestly what are you doing all this for？'
(Luck of love)
'If love is a game
(Luck of love)
Of who's love remains'
Then i'm not playing anymore
Well i love you and you love me
But oh you realize it happens all the time
And if we came together and still you always planned to leave
I won't be bitter 'cause
It begins and ends with luck
(Luck of love)
'If love is a contest
(Luck of love)
Of who waits the longest
Honestly what are you doing all this for？'
(Luck of love)
'If love is a game
(Luck of love)
Of who's love remains'
Then i'm not playing anymore
