Con Man
Written by: Lou Van Loon
You got the gift of the gab Mr Confidence Man
Jewelled smile in the palm of your hand
With a twinkle in your eye
You make me understand
Mr Confidence Man
You're a con man!
Fuelling my desires Mr Confidence Man
Making me say yes just as hard as you can
Oh you're making me forget who I really am
Mr Confidence Man
Well you're a con man!
You're a con man!
You're a con man!
What have you got for me today?
"You won't be disappointed!"
Is what you say!
Then you smile with those eyes I'm hypnotised.
Make me say yes
Make me say yes
Make me say yes
Mr Confidence Man!
You're a con man!
You're a con man!
Aah ah ah ah Aah ah ah ah
Aah ah ah ah Aah ah ah ah
Aah ah ah ah Aah ah ah ah
Aah ah ah ah Aah ah ah ah
Fuelling my desires
I'm a live wire
Making me say yes
Oh you're making me forget!
Oh you're making me forget!
That you're a conman
You're a con man!
You're a con man!
What have you got for me today?
"You won't be disappointed!"
Is what you say!
Then you smile with those eyes I'm hypnotised.
Make me say yes
Make me say yes
Make me say yes
Mr Confidence Man!
You're a con man!
You're a con man!
You're a con man!

Amity

Amity, there's no place I'd rather be
Amity, where the sky is falling down into the sea
And the dolphins play around in front of me
And the sun sets on the water
And the stars are dripping from the sky
On you and I by the firelight
Ah ha
Amity, it's the place I long to be
Amity, where the fish are jumping out in front of me
And the trawlers bring their catch back from the sea
And the sun sets on the water
And the stars are dripping from the sky
On you and I by the firelight
Oh Amity, Amity Amity!
Oh Amity, Amity, Amity!
Mm hm
Amity, it's the place I wanna be
Where the boats are lazing round in front of me
It's a feeling of peace and tranquility
And the sun sets on the water
And the stars are dripping from the sky
On you and I by the firelight
Oh Amity, Amity Amity!
Oh Amity, Amity, Amity!
Oh Amity, Amity, Amity!
Oh Amity!

Oh Lie Lie
04:11
|

There you go again
Professing all those lies to me
Oh I know you said
You’re telling all those lies again to me
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
You started with omission
Didn’t notice what what missin’
Was your mission to deceive me
Am I really that naïve
Well believe me better leave me
Nobody’s gonna grieve me
Then you looked me in the eye
And you told a little white lie
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Then the lies were gettin’ bigger
Go figure! Pull the trigger
Didn’t take too long to wonder
‘Bout the spell that you were under
A little white lie
Can slowly turn a nice guy
Into a sly guy
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
There you go again
Professing all those lies to me
Oh I know you said
You’re telling all those lies again to me
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Well can you look me in the face
Tell me this is not the case
It’s just a phase
A kind of craze
Cos you were livin’ in a daze
Your fall from grace
Was made in haste
It’s such a waste
I cry
I sigh
Cos I
Have to say goodbye
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Can you look me in the face
Tell me this is not the case boy
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Then the lies were getting bigger
Go figure! Pull the trigger
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
You started with omission
Didn’t notice what what missin’
There you go again
Professing all those lies to me
Oh I know you said
You’re telling all those lies again to me
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
You started with omission
Didn’t notice what was missin’
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Was your mission to deceive me
Am I really that naïve
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Well believe me better leave me
Nobody’s gonna grieve me
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Then you looked me in the eye
And you told me a white lie
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Then the lies were getting bigger
Go figure! Pull the trigger
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Didn’t take too long to wonder
‘Bout the spell that you were under
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
A little white lie
Can slowly turn a nice guy
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Into a sly guy
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Can you look me in the face
Tell me this is not the case boy
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
It’s just a phase
A kind of craze
Cos you were livin’ in a daze
Oh Lie Lie! Oh Lie Lie!
Your fall from grace
Was hard to place
It’s such a waste
I cry
I sigh
Cos I
Have to say goodbye

Better Shake Your Weary Self Awake
Indecision gets you nowhere
Fills your pockets with regrets
Better wipe your hands
Cos your pocket's full of sand
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
And the world is getting smaller
Smaller than the human race
Better look at yourself
Better look at everyone else
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
And the world is getting warmer
All the science is in place
Better wash your hands
Cos there's something with this land
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake
Better shake your weary self awake

Metaphor Land
04:40
|

Please pardon me if you don't understand
I've been living in a place called metaphor land
Where dreams are born and visions are grand
And I am home
Can I take you for a ride on my conscience stream
Where the colours of the rainbow infect my dreams
Where everything is not what it seems
But I am home
It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
Cos I am home
We could follow the silver lines around every cloud
Where light and darkness have their battleground
And noiseless thoughts make a cacophonous sound
And I am home
So please don't ask me to come back to earth
Cos everything there has to have some worth
And I have everything I need in my purse
And I am home
It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
Cos I am home
So please don't correct me if I am wrong
There are no rules where I belong
Just impossible dreams of this writer's song
Oh I am home
So please don't worry when I don't answer the phone
I often love love to be alone
Where Metaphor calls me to come back home
Metaphorically speaking
It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
Cos I am home
It's a magical place in Metaphor
Where illusions drift onto the shore
And I always discover what my life is for
And I am home

Ain't Got Mine
04:38

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Feel the warmth of the sunlight
Watch it shine on the silver ocean
Waves roll, roll on into themselves
Ain't it peaceful
Well I'm riding on the wave of luxury
Laying on the banks of my memory
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I remember your eyes as you watched the sunrise
I remember your eyes as you held me so tight
You said, "Hold me, hold me like you'll never let me go!"
And I did just that
Now I'm riding on a wave of fantasy
Remembering the way that it should have been
Years have gone by in the name of time
You got your love and I ain't got mine
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
You got your love and I ain't got mine
oh!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Now I'm lonely, there's been no one else
No one to blame except myself
And I'm still falling, falling under your spell
Ain't it stupid!
Now I'm lying on the road of destiny
Remembering the way that it should have been
Yeah yeah yeah!
Years have gone by in the name of time
You got your love and I ain't got mine
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

My Bay Window by Lou Van Loon
I love it all! I have it all!
And I see it all through my bay window!
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di da di da di,
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di dah!
I am the place all the locals love to know.
I am the smell of the mangroves when the tide is low.
I am the diamonds sparkling in the morning sun.
I am the islands breaking the horizon.
I love it all! I have it all!
I see it all through my bay window!
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di da di da di,
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di dah!
I am the people getting down along the Esplanade.
They walk, they roller blade, they cycle, they laze on the grass.
I am the children swimming in the wading pool.
I am the breeze that keeps all of us cool!
I love it all! I have it all!
I see it all through my bay window!
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di da di da di,
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di dah!
My bay window!
I am the one thousand sails dancing on the water.
I am the one million lights in the middle of the night.
I am the fishermen, the sailors and the scuba divers.
I am the flying sailboards in the middle of Rose Bay.
I am the crowd along the street on the day of the parade.
I am the heart I am the soul of the bay.
I am the friends out jamming on a Wednesday night.
They sing, they dance, they play, they make you feel alright!
I love it all! I have it all!
I see it all through my bay window!
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di da di da di,
La di da da! La di da da! La di da di dah!
