Now I'm Easy

"NOW I'M EASY". - Eric Bogle. . For nearly sixty years, I've been a Cockie. Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived through plenty. This country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood.

Mirrors

"MIRRORS". -Eric Bogle. . Children are born with trust in their eyes. it's the first thing that we betray. Children are born believing in magic. it's the first thing we take away.

Ibrahim

"Ibrahim". -Eric Bogle. . (Album: The Colour of Dreams). . Hey Ibrahim, tell me what do you think of Australia?. Do our beautiful desert sunsets fill you with wonder?.

Creole Cafu00e9

Cornflower Blue

"Cornflower Blue". -Eric Bogle. . Cornflower blue, bloomin' in the mornin' sun. Tiny flowers that grew, from when our love had just begun. Long ago we planted, each dry and dusty row.

And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

"And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda". - Eric Bogle. . Now when I was a young man, I carried me pack, and I lived the free life of a rover. From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback, well, I waltzed my Matilda all over..

Trying Too Hard

maybe this is where i get off. but then i look at you and get lost. your friends and my friends don't mix. they separate us with their dumb politics. maybe i'm just.

To All You Guys

to all you guys of a menacing size. who made me feel invisible with your lies. to all you guys i want you to know. i've found a way to rise. to all you jocks who broke my balls.

Sugar And Cream

everything i hate. is starting to percolate. and you want to stir me up. put some sweetness in my cup. even if i thought i could change. my mind, my thoughts would feel strange.

She Needs Air

it's so hard watching you turn pale. that i might do anything, just give me a sign. i'd tend to your vine. . but it takes more than water and light. to make everything alright.

Scratch Ticket

I've tried making it the hard way. it gets harder every year. i cried me a river. and floated downstream on my tears. i want just enough, i'm not asking for much.

Running In Place

i'm not afraid to say i love you anymore. were those the words you waited for?. there was a time three words could make. all the difference in the world.

On Holiday

snowed in at the corporate retreat. all they had left was the honeymoon suite. now the joke's complete. a heart-shaped bed that laughs with me alone. .

The Old Temptation

New Earth

the sunset looked magnificent. cranberries to peaches and tangerines. they say it's just pollution. but let the polar ice caps drift. and drive your hybrid off a cliff.

In Love With A Broken Heart

tomorrow's just another day. where i'll still want the girl who got away. and maybe she was something real. i wasted every chance to close the deal. .

Alive (but Barely Breathing)

once into it i don't ever want to quit. but you know very well that this can't go on. okay i admit i shouldn't have ever started it. but once pressed to my lips all hope was gone.

Mercy

Kill your idols and your fables. Take your weapons off the table. It's only mercy now that you need in your world. . Lay your burdens on my shoulders.

Jericho

[Verse 1: Erica Bryan]. You built it brick by brick around your heart. You made it tall and stout, every rampart. To keep the pain at bay. always on guard.
