Song Lyrics From The Warmth In The White CD
*** FLAME TO THE RHYTHM You burn the flame to the music You burn the flame to the music You burn the flame to the music Don’t let the flame beat the music! You burn the flame to the cars, you burn the flame to the trees You burn the flame to the ozone, “can I get some more please?” Burn the flame to the ocean, the flame to the sky The flame to the river, an eye for an eye No one’s wising up huh, I’m sure it’s nothing to do with me or you From when I was little, the first time I wet my head Just six months, my mother threw me right in Silky smooth cold wet fill the smile With water, water, water One summer out swimmin’ in the river to the sea Swimmin’ with my sister it occurred to me Why so long since it rained my girl Why can I touch the bottom of what used to be a well What happened to the fish, what happened to the birds What happened to the water, where did it all go No one’s wising up huh, I’m sure it’s nothing to do with me or you CHORUS You burn the flame to the rhythm and the rhythm to the flame She’s still the same but no one takes the blame You burn the flame to the rhythm and the rhythm to the flame The change again, the change again You burn the flame to the rhythm and the rhythm to the flame She’s still the same but no one takes the blame You burn the flame to the rhythm and the rhythm to the flame The change, the change must come again Well this year’s worse, heaps worse than before But we keep rockin’ and knockin’ on fates door What you think, are you prepared to compromise? Water, water, water Burn the flame to the music Burn the flame to the music Burn the flame to the music Burn the flame to the rhythm CHORUS Don’t let the flame beat the music…

GOIN’
TO JAMAICA We’re
goin’ to Jamaica (x4) Well
I’ve been sailing the sea for the best of three years Had
a lot to see and a lot of good cheers Friends
come and go - but I’m still here today To
tell the fateful story of what happened that day It
was a quarter to nine in the early morn I
just stepped on land for the first time since dawn First
I heard the bass - and then I heard the treble Then
of course I caught the naughty smell Miss
Viola I say ‘hey!’ what’s the go today Six
hours to work and all I do is play Quiet
down boy and relax your mind Let
your locks chill you’re on island time (chill…) We’re
goin’ to Jamaica (x8) Well
just after lunch the haze begins to clear In
this part of Ochy we got nothin’ to fear except The weather’s turnin’ from blue to gray Better
wind it up or begin to pray I
hear the hurricane it’s after me again Go
run, go hide, go call a friend You
here me runnin’ – but no one’s commin’ I
guess I’m stuck in – the fun lovin’ Tropicana, No Espanola, Just Jamaica

call him the boss, you call him the tax man Call him what you done will he's the next man Hand
in hand they go walkin’ down the lane Skip

mister mister mister, mister parking inspector There’s three minutes to go but you still select ‘er Me,
to be the one to make your trifecta Waitin’ on me again, just to collect ‘er You

just about to kick it and drop the beat Please stay for a drink hell, have a bite to eat Next

the method of the man Contradiction, political system Contradiction,
something real Somebody speak up before there’s no one left to kill Well mister man, tell me if you will If you’re the man to the man, how can sit still? It's

RAT
RACE Billabong, waterhole, pool of mud in the ground Evolution they say well that's not what I've found Try to keep it to myself but it's hard sometimes Five years on this planet that we know so well But
the poor little kid's never heard or smelt The rain comin’ down in his own damn backyard The rivers run dry but your only concern Is that this year your new boat won't turn It doesn't make sense man, it doesn't make sense to me Ya
say it don't matter what I do now It's
to late now well say it's not true Stop
take a breath, take a look around Tell
me what ya see, looks like hope to me I know we gotta keep up in the rat race But ya know we gotta fix what we done to this place I know we gotta keep up in the rat race Tryin’
so hard, left your common sense behind Well if I said sign a waiver for your bad behavior Would ya look at me like you’re doin’ me a favor Please sigh the petition for the mission of this world Mortgage, 5 kids, comfort in debt, So hard to stop but I want that pet, Just
one more thing - that's it, I swear this time Ya
say it don't matter what I do now It's
to late now well say it's not true Stop
take a breath, take a look around Tell
me what ya see, looks like hope to me Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race But ya know we gotta fix what we done to this place Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race Tryin so hard, left your common sense behind Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race There ain’t no sign of stoppin’ and there ain’t no sign of changin’ this place Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race ‘Cause there ain't no spare planet for children this time We
know what's goin’ on, well can you feel it strong, Ya know it's in our reach, gonna keep pushin’ forward today Ya
know it's gettin old, I feel it in my soul, And ya know that it's still in our control Just
slow down a minute, there’s no need to push it Gonna’ give it back more than we took in the first place Gotta
keep pushin’ she needs some lovin’ Leave
a little bit for the next generation Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race But ya know we gotta fix what we done to this place Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race Tryin’ so hard, left your common sense behind Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race There ain’t no sign of stoppin’ and there ain’t no sign of changin’ this place Ya know we gotta keep up in the rat race We gotta leave a little bit for the next generation
**************************************
SILHOUETTE Well I say bounce, for your brother Tell me will ya still dance for your mama Well I remember that rain, on that summers day Papa's on the porch, rockin’ that chair to the smell of rain Dreams so big, we couldn't fit ‘em in the sky We had dreams so big, man - just you and I Playin’ Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and givin’ to the poor Man it seems like yesterday, anyway CHORUS: Sun set on your silhouette There’s a picture in my mind on that day - yeah Two butterflies in the wind Captured in the summertime Well it feels like yesterday, sittin’ underneath that willow tree Watching mama dance to the willow tree Spendin’ our days, hidin’ in the grass Watchin’ those clouds just rollin’ by, so high Well I can make anything we want Anything we need, anything you see Out of those clouds Do you remember what you used to make out of clouds, for me? CHORUS Sing to the lullaby - Sing to the lullaby Sing to the lullaby - Sing to the lullaby From my soul, to your kitchen table Though my soul, the music makes me able Shapes in the shade as the sun goes down, Wind it up again, wind it up again and play the lullaby Sing to the lullaby - Sing to the lullaby Sing to the lullaby - Sing to the lullaby CHORUS

SUNDAY
MORNING AVENUE Hello,
as stated by the sun ray A
new day, all starts with the sun ray Cozy
and warm with a little bit of you Crack
in cover, chills push us together Lie
down, don't get up just yet I
got so much I need to get off my chest So
I can make some space for you to rest your head Breathing
in time together, in harmony together Man
it don't get much better than this I
tickle your ribs a little, now your stuck in the middle Sorry
to wake you, couldn't help myself No
rush, just sleep, no need to go nowhere Shut
the door, keep out the cold, no need to go nowhere I
have a place with some space, for you to rest your head I
give you my soul with my all, my one, my only childhood girl My
life, with you, through the ups and downs, Now
we're back in this town on the ground In
my dreams, I see the sun through the clouds Livin’
where we want to be not so long, in this life We
gotta make the most of what we got and I don't want to ever stop Lovin’
you man it's true, what else we gonna do, That
compares to what we have and all that we been through Endless
love on this Sunday morning avenue Not
a care in this world except to be with you Lie
down, don't get up just yet I
got so much I need to get off my chest So I can make some space for you to rest your head
**************************************
WARMTH
IN THE WHITE Another
sunrise through my content eyes A
purple golden sky turns to blue with you Is
that you wise old ghost? A
reflection in time Of
journeys most kind in time Well
cut through the glass, Pierce
through the trees Rise
to the sky I
can hear you in the hall Almost
touch you through the wall But
I know as before You'll allude at
first light Curiosity will
not lie Well
let me lie A
recollection from your suggestion Just
the mention of your request Seems to
pause time It's
been forty years since you were lost in this house And
still we come looking for you We
come and we go knowing some how That
your gone but still strong in some sense As
I go to the east with a question in mind Warmth
in the white fills the room Breeze
moves the shade corrupted by questions Why
did you leave in this way Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why now Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why now
