Spring is here
04:17

Impossible flowers
Bright yellow bulbs
Waving like bees in the yard
Springtime is buzzing
With nectar and youth
Twinkled and selfied and starred
If you sit in a park
With some fish and some chips
With your soft cotton dress
And your lovely red lips
I'll sit here beside you
Taking deep sips
Of spring, of spring, of spring
Spring's here, yo ho e yo
Yo ho e yo, she's here
Walk by the river
See all the boats
They bob, rock and squeak like a kid
There's ducks on the pond
All splashing around
Like our parents, the things that they did
We jump in the lake
In our t-shirts and jeans
Just to feel the cool water
Rush up through the seams
It's the leap, without looking
The feeling that means
That it's spring, it's spring, it's spring
Spring's here, yo ho e yo
Yo ho e yo, she's here
Holding your hands
Heady and giddy
Hope for the good times to last
Scattering seedlings
To grow our tomorrow
Not fade away into the past
Sit at our table
With a glass of red wine
With love in our hearts
And a dream that's divine
Cause we know somehow
Everything will be fine
Cause it's spring, it's spring, it's spring
Spring's here, yo ho e yo
Yo ho e yo, she's here

Beer, wine or whiskey
02:36

Life is full of choices, big and small
I can't possibly nail them all
Every day a crossroads, twists and turns
Once I pick a path, there's no returns
But of all the choices, the biggest choice is
Who do I want to have my next drink with?
Who's gonna make the night pop and fizz?
Is it beer, wine or whiskey
To get a gypsy really tipsy,
And solve tonight's great mystery
Beer, wine or whiskey
Choose beer, for a BBQ with mates
Choose wine to impress a fine date
Choose whiskey, for class and praise
Beer wine or whiskey, it's your choice to make
What's right for you tonight, my dear
Do you want a whiskey, a wine or a beer
To help us live, and love, and dance and cheer

Shape of your kiss
03:16
|

|
The shape of your kiss
Is a never-ending circle
As wide as the horizon
And deeper than the sea
The shape of your kiss
Is a broad and sweeping arch
That leads from your heart
Into the heart of me
It has no jagged edges
No corners and no end
A reach beyond the canvas
Beyond my greatest friend
Shapes are drawn, and shapes erased
But the only one I miss
Is the shape that's most untraceable
The shape of your kiss
The shape of your kiss
Has a bold commanding line
All the colours in the water
The mountains and the sky
The shape of your kiss
Is a smooth and salty crystal
A beating wing that stops all time
Before it races by
It holds us like a cradle
Until our time has passed
Thrills us in an instant
That will forever last
I'll hold my finger to my heart
And draw the shape of this
The only shape I've truly loved
The shape of your kiss

Some write for the papers
Some write for the truth
Some write for the movies
Olives, gin, vermouth
Some write words for school exams
Then put their pens away
Some write songs for dancing crowds
The songs they play are gone the next day
Some write for the thrill of seeing
Words they wrote in print
Some write for the record
Sugar coat the things they did
Me, I write for love
Cause it's simple and it's true
And the only one I write for is you
The only one I write for is you
I only write for the one that's right
And the only right one is you
The only one I write for
Is the only one I'm right for
So the only one I write for is you
Some write with computers
Punching p's and q's
Some write with their Remingtons
Such a hip machine to use
Some write with a method
A structure and a plan
Some write with abandon
And make what sense they can
I don't need no fancy tools
Just pen and serviette
Or notes app on my broken phone
Whatever I can get
I'll share our love on anything
It's a thing I have to do
Cause the only one I write for is you

Fiddle sing
03:42

I've been hanging round
That girl with the skin tight pants
When she plays her violin
Nobody else has a snowball's chance
Listen to those sweet lonesome sounds
Coming through the bow and out of the strings
Gets your feet a-moving when you hear her fiddle sing
Come on, sing, fiddle sing
It sure is the sweetest thing
Gets your feet a-moving when you hear her fiddle sing
They had called for last drinks
Saturday was coming to an end
But it's when the band stops
That the real music begins
Down on the Mayfield Avenue
Everyone who plays is gathering
Gets your feet a-moving when you hear her fiddle sing
She's dancing while she plays In her high heeled boots
And a little red corset
With her big brown eyes and a golden smile
You'll never see her break a sweat
When we play together, it's so hot and smokin'
Like the day we first met
A wink, a look, I was totally hooked
That's the day I'll never forget
We were driving down the coast road
Heard our new song on the radio
Now we gotta catch a plane
Gotta go and play some sold-out shows
Feel like I'm back down on my knees
Giving her my heart and a diamond ring
So take a deep breath and let's make your fiddle sing

You only live once
03:49

Going on a holiday
Where I'm going I couldn't say
Yolo you only live once
Grab my passport leave my keys
Flying somewhere overseas
Yolo...
Yolo Yolo Yolo you only live once
Slamming shots in East Berlin
Dancing till the dawn came in
Yolo...
Finally I hit the deck
When a stranger kissed my neck
Yolo...
Walked with him to lover's ledge
His pills threw him off the edge
Yolo...
Tears were streaming from my eyes
As I watched that good man die
Yolo...
So let's drink to those we've lost
Who lived hard and paid the cost
Yolo...
Here's to life, here's to you
Cause you lived and made it through
Yolo...

Happy that you're here-o

Sitting round the barbecue
Chicken leg and pinot
We've been everywhere, but there's
No place we'd rather be-oh
Sing with me yo-o
Happy that you're here-o
Standing in a hotel lift
Lift is broken down-o
But I don't care, cause you're here
So we can go to town-o
Sitting on an aeroplane
20 hour flight-o
We won't be bored, oh Lordy lord
Feel higher than a kite-o
Locked out of our rental car
Tow truck's on the way-o
Time to get the fiddle out and
Sing and dance and play-o
New Orleans 10pm
Music in the street-o
So you dance me by the hand
And sweep me off my feet-o

I love you very much
I love your gentle touch
I love you cause you're such a lovely
Love I love to love
I love you every day
In a huggy, sunny way
And in each word I say, lovely
Love I love to love
And when you're mad
It makes me sad
There's nothing I can do
But run and hide
Somewhere outside
And think how I love you
I love you more and more
I can't help but adore
That's what I was made for, my lovely
Love I love to love
I love you like a dream
Even when you are extreme
Words ain't always what they seem, lovely love I love to love
When / you're hot, mad and stressed
I feel a bit depressed
Until we get undressed, lovely
Love I love to love
Let's dance and flirt
And twirl your skirt
The best way to make up
The anger is
Gone with a kiss
Till something else comes up
I love you like a tree
You can depend on me
With you I'll always be, snuggly
Love I love to love
