Can you hear the distant echo of the
hauntingdidgeridoo,
as it pulses through the airwaves? Yes, my friend it’s calling you.
To this land beneath the Southern Cross, it welcomes one and all,
and its drone spells out a message. Can you hear its beckoning call?
So come share our hospitality and shake an Aussie hand.
Mate, enjoy a trip down under … share the culture of our land.
It abounds with nat’ral beauty from its coasts to Uluru
and you’ll share our nation’s freedom just like we have learnt to do.
You’re invited friends to join us on a wond’rous holiday,
where the sun, our surf and golden sands are yours in which to play.
We’ve the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, The Reef and Kakadu
and experience the magic of a Darwin sunset too.

as it pulses through the airwaves? Yes, my friend it’s calling you.
To this land beneath the Southern Cross, it welcomes one and all,
and its drone spells out a message. Can you hear its beckoning call?
Come and cuddle a Koala, feed our unique kangaroo,
see our Emu and our wombat and our talking cockatoo.
Boil a billy, bake a damper, share a campfire’s flick’ring light,
in our vast Australian outback on a glorious star filled night.
See the paintings and the craftwork of the aborigine
and experience the stories of their dreamtime history.
More than anything you do here or wherever you may roam
we’d just like to say you’re welcome and please make yourself at home.
Can you hear the distant echo of the haunting

as it pulses through the airwaves? Yes, my friend it’s calling you.

My sad story lacks glory, it's one of a kind,
I got tossed, lost and frightened, now I'm losing my mind.
After all it is Christmas, for one wish I care -
To get back with my buddies, please take me up there.
T'was the night before Christmas, on our last round,
Of delivering presents to this lovely town;
As we dropped the last parcel we broke out the wine,
Santa soon got too jolly and ran a stop sign.
First he swore, then he chuckled, and stomped on the brakes;
I first stumbled then toppled, that's all that it takes.
I fell hard off the darn sleigh, it wasn't a prank,
And I then landed headfirst into a snow bank.
Well, my pals did not notice there was one less elf,
Left abandoned I had to attend to myself;
I've been wandering here in a search of a clue
How to get back up there and back with my crew.
T'was the night before Christmas, not much of a crowd,
In the dark, cold and lonely, who could help me out?
Then I met a sweet lady, she said for a fee
She would take me "up there", if I would agree...
But, but then, oh my Goodness, oh Bother, oh Gosh!
She pulled down my green breeches, oh Jingle Bells Blush!
I kicked hard and screamed loud with all my elf's might,
That lady, so shady-like, gave me quite a fright!
On this night before Christmas I wish for a kind soul
That finds my way out and to the North Pole;
I will work so much harder the following year,
I will handpick all presents, help me please, dear!
I hear your sad song, friend, it's one of a kind,
And it's Christmas, it's gift time, so I'm going to find
The way out of this village and out of your mess!
I will take you up there in My Polar Express!

Drowning Out The Truth
You say you've made a friend in the bottle
In the number one solution
You're getting loose watching drop after drop
Straighten all the confusion
You want to keep the party rolling on
Refusing to face the facts
The way you live each day, day in and out
The story can end so sad
You've got to see the light
Through the night; black night
Don't waste your youth
Drowning out the truth
What you used to understand without question
You now admit with hesitation
As if in your mind you're not sure
And the cause, only frustration
I want to know that you can see through the haze
But at times it seems as thick as mud
You're searching for all the answers
But you're losing hold of what was
...I know all about feeling good
So many days I've felt that way
But it's not an escape, just a delay in the game
Because when it's over everything is the same....
You've got to see the light
Through the night; black night
Don't waste your youth
Drowning out the truth
Life, my friend, right now to you is such a joke
But as a friend I can see your pain
I know your eyes, no you can't disguise
Bloodshot lines spell out your shame
You've got to see the light
Through the night; black night
Don't waste your youth
Drowning out the truth
It's in the movies that the display,
Measured white screen precisely laid,
The twenty-four a second images roll by,
Captured as if conceived by artistic eye,
And I don't know if what I have been is proper,
I haven't treated you as a friend and,
I haven't treated you as best I can and,
Properly displayed and played,
Stories of love and risk,
Do what is wrong, song of hearts,
I don't know what is meant as proper,
Romantic notions are adored only in fiction,
A rose by any other means is no less expensive,
What once as joy perceived as friction,
A proper distance starts at extensive,
And I don't know if it would have been proper to be proper,
I loved you as much as a friend as any other and,
I loved you enough to take a chance and,
Wrenched connection sure to cause stress,
Sink where respect goes to drain,
Done what is wrong, song of hearts,
I don't know why it is proper for us to part.
(I have done wrong).
