"Rising Seas" lyrics
"Rising Seas"
Every child put down your toys
And come inside to sleep
We have to look you in the eye and say we sold you cheap
Let's confess we did not act
With serious urgency
So open up the floodgates
To the rising seas
Temperature rising
Climate denying
Fever is gripping
Nobody's listening
Lustre is fading
Because nobody's trading
Wall Street is jumping
Still the music keeps pumping
If you can't decide
Between wrong and right
If you can't see through
All that you hold true
Queen of the firmament
Lord of all beneath
Masters of the universe
We're all refugees
And in many countries they adore celebrities
Open up the floodgates
To the rising seas
Dinosaur stories
Reliving past glories
Lusting for gold
F-f-fishing for souls
They said it was coming
We knew it was a-coming
If you lift your game
Put your toys away
Well it looks like rain
On that western plain
Queen of the firmament
Lord of all beneath
Masters of the universe
We're all refugees
And in many countries they adore celebrities
Open up the floodgates
To the rising seas
To the rising seas
To the rising seas

The Smithereens - "Downbound Train" I had a job, I had a girl

Hunters & Collectors - "Do You See What I See?" I spy your humble home
I see the tea towels fly
In a blinding flash
I see the years go by
memories twisted around
somebody's finger
behind me now
oh but I still remember
Do you see what I see?
Do you...
Hoodoo Gurus - "I Want You Back" I can still recall the time
She said she was always mine
Then she left as people do
And forget what we've been through

It's the things I hear that she has got to...
Mental As Anything - "Big Wheel" I wouldn't speak ill of you
That would be unfair
I could not do that again
Someone's always there, someone's always there
Offer me a role, with dignity
Offer me control with dignity

John Butler Trio - "Betterman" Betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught so many things about myself
and you know this is true
but now we are apart and its all my fault
cos you know I need to be alone...
