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, 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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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

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!
