1. Different Now
I don't remember and I don't know how
We became a little different now
I just don't remember and I don't know how
We're a little different now
Watch all the dark water
Flowing out to sea
To the sound of Auld Lang Syne
And some nameless anxiety
We just can't recall
The things we left behind
Floating away in that Southern mist
And the swirling tides of time
I don't remember and I don't know how
We became a little different now
I just don't remember and I don't know how
We're a little different now
We're a little different, just a little different
A little different now
I don't remember and I don't know how
We became a little different now
Fragments of some memory
When this was a foreign shore
Mix with the smell of roses
Growing outside our kitchen door
We still like to visit
The old boat that brought us here
Today we made a fire
It makes us warm as I hold you near

2. Closer To Blue Than Green
It was a simple life, we lived without a care
I could never tell you then and now it's neither here nor there
It’s neither here nor there, it's somewhere between
A shade or two closer to blue than green
Closer to blue than green, closer to blue than green
It’s a shade or two closer to blue than green
I still remember you there drenched in warm sunlight
Winter days got shorter here and darker than the night
Darker than the night, short, cold and mean
Another shade or two closer to blue than green
Closer to blue than green, closer to blue than green
Another shade or two closer to blue than green
There's a kind of ancient beat that keeps me in this line
I can see the broken lights all flashing in time
All flashing in time and now I know what they mean
They are closer to blue than green
Closer to blue than green, closer to blue than green
They are closer to blue than green

3. Indian Ocean Blue
Let’s just sail away on this ship
Wave goodbye to all we know and not make sense of it
Dance on the deck and twirl around in the dark
And listen to the ship bell ringin’ in time to a new beat in your heart
Say goodbye my love
Say farewell, au revoir and adieu
Bound for Indian Ocean Blue
Where nothing that you do could ever be a mistake
We thought it was a dream but it turns out we were very much awake
In the middle of a storm with all hands up on deck
How can you know where you’re going if you haven’t been there yet
Say goodbye my love
Say farewell, au revoir and adieu
Bound for Indian Ocean Blue
Yes, it's time now my love to say goodbye
Fare thee well and adieu
Bound for Indian Ocean Blue
For a while, for a while Let it all fall apart for a while
You might find some pieces that don't fit
And for a while, follow your heart for a while
You'll only get to know where it's going if you stay with it
You get to know where it's going if you stay with it
You only get to know where it's going if you stay with it
You get to know where it's going if you stay with it

4. Sweet Summer Wine
I was down in the dirt, buried out of sight
With only one place to go, back up towards the light
And as I make my way, through cracked and broken ground
Called up and on and on, by a beautiful sound
I can hear her singing through the grapevine
All you need is a lot of love and a little time
Just watch me turn water into sweet summer wine
Watch me turn water into wine
You've got to be tough, got to be strong
And if you find yourself here, it’s where you belong
You could go back, to the place from which you came
But it's just too late now, you will never be the same
You can her singing through the grapevine
Just watch us turn water into sweet summer wine
Watch us turn water into wine
There are things that I've seen, caught in the wheels of the machine
I've got a story to tell, turns out you've got one as well
We can hear her singing through the grapevine
All you need is a lot of love and a little time
Just watch us turn water into sweet summer wine
All we need is a lot of love and a little time
Just watch us turn this water into sweet summer wine
Watch us turn this water, just watch us turn this water
Watch us turn this water into wine

5. Let Yourself In
You hold the key to the door of my heart
You’re welcome to let yourself in
Ever passing this way and need somewhere to stay
You’re welcome to let yourself in
A few things have changed since last you were here
I don’t know where to begin
So take in the view of these grey skies and blue
You’re welcome to let yourself in
We found ourselves and time flies away with what we became
We lose ourselves and never stay the same
May you never stay the same
I moved here alone beside this great lake
Watch the long winter ice getting thin
Now the wildflowers grow like there’s no tomorrow
You’re welcome to let yourself in
You hold the key to the door of my heart
You’re welcome to let yourself in
I hope my wildflower grows wherever she goes
You’re welcome to let yourself in

6. First To Fall
We’d dive into the water, together we crossed the sea
I can hear Jack Adams cry, “Up boys and at ‘em, follow me”
Never thought I’d find myself, when we heeded the call
We were the first, we were the first to fall
We’d never stop to think if we could swim, didn’t know how to hesitate
We were the first to jump right in, the enemy lying in wait
We sure were something else, we were once and for all
We were the first, we were the first to fall
We were the first, the first to fall
I wrote you a letter, I could never explain it all
If I ever make it that far, I’d do it again for the first to fall
Webb was an orphan from Essendon, throwing bombs back into the night
Lost both his hands and walked out of the Pine, following an ancient light
He sure was something else, he was once and for all
And I never thought I’d find myself, when we heeded the call
We were the first, we were the first to fall
Wrote so many letters, I could never explain it all
If I ever make it that far, I’d do it again for the first to fall

7. Rebel Songs
We don't need no rebel songs ‘cause we're already free
Times have changed, we've all moved on, it’s no mystery
A flicker in the distance has become a blinding light
We don't need no rebel songs, to lift us up tonight
We don't need no rebel songs to sing under our breath
We stumbled through this brand new day and died a little death
When we realised that we'd become the thing we resisted
We don't need no rebel songs now that we've untwisted
This is the life, life that is unscripted
With a mystery prize still behind the creaking door
We came back, came back
We came back from where we drifted
We don't need no rebel songs to keep us company
All wrapped up in rusty chains our own worst enemy
Learnt by rote and repetition our thoughts were paralysed
We don't need no rebels songs now we can improvise
We don't need no rebel songs cause we're already free
Times have changed, we've all moved on, it's no mystery
A flicker in the distance has become a blinding light
We don't need no rebel songs to lift us up tonight

8. Wine Wine
Wine wine, blood red in the moonlight glow
And the glittering stars above the beautiful world below
We dance this long dark night towards another day
Wine wine, all alone on this bone dry land we sway
Wine wine, you do what you do so well
Found those things I’d never say and thought I’d never tell
All things come to pass and new things come to light
Wine wine, I lost my baby but I found you tonight
Wine wine, I lost my baby but I found you tonight
Wine wine, you said, “Come away from there
Where those pretty pink wildflowers grow and get tangled in your hair”
My Nana’d say those flowers are nothing but stirring weeds
Wine wine, now I’ll only shed tears for a heart that bleeds
Wine wine, blood red in the moonlight glow
And the glittering stars above the beautiful world below
All things come to pass and new things come to light
Wine wine, I lost my baby but I found you tonight
Wine wine, I lost my baby but I found you tonight
All things come to pass and now I feel all right
Wine wine, I lost my baby but I found you tonight
Wine wine, I lost my baby but I found you, I found you
Tonight I lost my baby but now I feel all right

9. The Bloody Hookline
I wrote this little folk song
Just to let you know that you got it wrong
As if you didn't already know
Gonna tell you once, tell you twice
The end is near, you're gonna pay the price
As if you didn't already know
Here comes the bloody hookline
Oh, and here it comes again
I wrote this little folk tune
Beneath the winter moon
You know that makes this powerful stuff
It'll make you dance, make you sing
And get you out of the mess you're in
You know that makes this powerful stuff
Here comes the bloody hookline
Oh, and here it comes again
Now it sounds like I am bridging
It is pointless; there is nothing more to say
I just wish that I could offer up some answers
But these type of songs, they just don't work that way
Here comes the bloody hookline
Oh, and here it comes again

10. All The Pretty Stars
Beautiful things in this world, have a tendency to break
And I’m still constantly amazed, by just how much you can take
So keep on walking in those shoes
They say that when you get to win
It's not before you lose
We need the darkness to see the light
All the pretty stars only appear at night
We need the darkness to see the light
From all the pretty pretty stars
There's a time and a place and it could be now
If you want to get somewhere you've got to find your own somehow
Beyond this house in which you dwell
There is more than you will ever know
And I guess it's just as well
We need the darkness to see the light
All the pretty stars only appear at night
We need the darkness to see the light
From all the pretty pretty stars
Go and get out of this city
While the rest of the world is asleep
Go where the skies are cool and clear
And listen to the sound of your own heartbeat
Look at all the pretty pretty stars appear
All the pretty pretty stars appear

11. My My Pretty Darling
My my pretty darling, don't leave me here alone
Don't leave me wondering if you're ever coming home
I won't get in your way, I won't make a sound
I just wanna be with you and have a good look around
My my pretty darling, don't leave me here like this
With nothing but a memory of your sweet candy kiss
I'll go anywhere, let's get lost and found
I just wanna be with you and have a good look around
My eyes are open, so many beautiful things to see
You know things only appear like that when you're here with me
My my pretty darling, let me come along for the ride
You just can't go wrong with me here by your side
I won't be no trouble when we go to town
I just wanna be with you and have a good look around
My my pretty darling, don't leave me here alone
Don't leave me wondering if you're ever coming home
I won't get in your way, I won't make a sound
And I won't be no trouble, when we go to town
I just wanna be with you and have a good look around
I just wanna be with you
