Whoever heard of wishing for the perfect harmony
In passing was your friendship ever really meant for me
And though this apprehension may seem a little out of line
Just take a look behind you, feel the weight this hate of mine

Hardly a proud thing, who cares what others told you
Resentment’s rising, breakaway

Your pompous attitude recalls a bitter memory
Forever justifying senselessness and poverty
What schemes and what designs
Monitored your every move
Contemptible intentions hide the truth you’re nothing new

Chorus

Lead break

Chorus x 3

Hardly a proud thing, who cares what motives drove you
Resentment’s rising, breakaway
Breakaway

Well I was born in the suburbs of a northern town
With a tin roof dunny that the rain blew down
The tin roof’s drumming like it use to then
But god it only happens since I knew then

My mother said what are you doing son
She’s worried and she’s not the only one
I said don’t worry bout me, I’m nearly famous now

I was playing in a pub down the northern town
The glasses were breaking as the beer going down
The glasses are breaking like they used to then
But god it only happens, cause he knew then

Chorus

And I’m gonna be a big shot now
I’m gonna have parties that you read about
This thing’s gonna go down in history
You wait and see, you’re gonna be hearing from me

The more you win today
The more you find you’re losing
Listen when I say
Is your life confusing

I hear the calling of the way
Do, do, do, do, do
Calling burning rain
Do, do, do, do, do

So you think it’s hard
Comprising daily
Play a winning card
Lose yourself entirely

Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear the calling of the way
Do do do do do
Calling burning rain
Do do do do do

We started back in the days when school was boring
They fed you rules and chastised all your fooling
On Wednesday afternoon they caught you smoking
They said “You know you’re not allowed” , they weren’t joking

So, step aside and let your older ones do the thinking
Cause you’re too young (you’re far too young)
To know what to believe in

You left school and your mind’s on the loose now
You want to change the world but you don’t know how
So you kill off the politicians, they’re so black
You sit and knock the system while your beer goes flat

Chorus

You left the girl (?) and you set a drinking record
Now I’ll show the boys what this car is made for
A cop just smiling down at one that is so young

Chorus x 2

So step aside and let your (guitar thing)
Cause you’re too young (you’re far too young)
To know what to believe in

Cause you’re too dumb (you’re far too dumb)
To know what to believe in
Cause you too dumb
To know what to believe in

Far too young
Far too young
Far too young
Far too young

It’s just around midnight
The boys are in a dreadful fight
I hit the old man for a bite
The lady says she might

On a Friday night cruise
We’ve got nothing to lose
On a Friday cruise
We’ve got nothing to lose

Hot rocks, cold hands
Loose women, mean men
Bad news and raunchy blues
Take it all before it’s through

Chorus

Lead break

Chorus

Maybe I’m a fool
Cause I like my pills and my booze
Drunk suburban boys on the loose
Burning candles on a Friday night

Chorus

On a Friday night
On a Friday night
On a Friday night
On a Friday night

Ma said bad son
If that’s what your friends call fun
Well you can hit the pack and run
On a Friday night cruise

Have you heard about yesterday
Thinkin bout things that I might say
Don’t you know there’s something goin on

Have you heard about promises
I know they can’t be heard
I knew there was something going wrong

So go home, oh please
Go home, oh please
Go home, go home

Singin songs I don’t know why
This one’s about a little part of my,
Life, now go home

I know I just can’t believe
What they are doin to me I knew there was something going wrong

I don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where I’ll end up
All I know is I’m getting away from you

I’m sick and tired and fed up
You never held your head up
Let me say there is no hope for you

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know

You had me thinking like you
The world was gonna end soon
There was nothing good about anything no more

Look out they’re gonna get you
Those funny men in white suits
I’m not the only one
Who doubts your sanity, you see

Chorus

Lead break

Nothing had good side
Did you ever really try
Goodbye dreg
I don’t ever want to see you again

I don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where I’ll end up
But I’m well on the way there
And you can kiss my ass

Looks like the sun won’t rise again
Trouble is on its way back in
I’m off to make a little the regular way
Did you say see what he wrote

It’s so sad, it’s so sad
Why no reason it’s so sad
It’s so sad, it’s so sad
Why no reason it’s so sad

Gig’s on Saturday, everyone will be there
Watch you take a plunge or do your sole thing
But for a time the money comes your way
You’re gonna have to live for a day

So sad, so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad, so sad

Out of luck he is now and then
Any old time he’s running out of debt

Goin to a town, get the lyrics down
Gotta make it sound just right
Wouldn’t have a clue, just what to do
But my saving’s just in sight

Got the letter A, all it’s gonna say
Gotta be a muso’s fright
Make a million bucks, disco go and suck
We gonna make this simple tonight

You walk through the door and you place your money down
This place here’s supposed to be the best in town
Women looking bad but you’re feeling good
You look at the band are they playing good

You got a pretty woman and she wants to dance
A coupla more beers and she wants romance
The band’s sweating hard but you don’t care
Jump the fence next time and they can stuff the fare

We played all night for you
We played all night for you
Played all night for you
But what’ve you given us, ha, a lousy coupla bucks

Repeat chorus

You telling the boys you once played a strat
While the lead guitarist’s beer goes flat
Twelve o’clock comes and it’s time to go
Saturday spent, hey what about the show

I’ve got something, that might even interest you
It’s nothing really near the truth, it might do
I’ve got something, it’s just another passing thought
It’s not the best I’ve had of course, it might do

Hey, point of view, wa oh
Point of view, wa oh
Point of view, wa oh
Point of view

When they’re talking, you don’t have to hear and do
There’s nothing that you have to prove, just be you
Well I’ve got something, it’s just another passing thought
It’s not the best I’ve had of course, it might do

Your heroes have gone now from the screen,
Johnny Wayne, Cagney, Jimmy Dean
Just like Casablanca makes me cry
Try to be like Errol and survive

So so cruel the way they left you here
Your matinee idols were so sincere
Now you’ve got to play your own part
Make us finish it’s a 5.30 start

But who’ll worry, who’ll worry, who’ll worry
Who’ll worry, who’ll worry, who

I missed your opening premiere
How else could you look but debonaire
Standing ovation as you took the stage
Gable and Tracey thought you were all the rage

Chorus

Those years have gone now from the screen
Pity you missed the final scene
Just like the Bridge on the River Kwai
Save it all for a final goodbye

Repeat Verse 1

But who’ll worry, who’ll worry, who’ll worry
Who’ll worry, who’ll worry, who
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Who’ll worry, who’ll worry, who’ll worry
Who’ll worry, who’ll worry for you

Looking out hard trying to find the door
I’ve got to find my way to where I was before
But you blocked the passage with a battle line try
God if I’m goin down well then I’ll die with you, with you

Deafened by the silence of your self-made solitude
You ask me for the key but door’s rotten through to you, to you

Please won’t you leave me alone
Please won’t you leave me alone
I just want to be on my own
Please, please leave me alone

Well I don’t know why you’re talking to me
With offers of your high-born virginity
Give me a reason to stay on the track
Stepping in dry puddles, you’re hitting me with flack yeah you, yeah you

Drinking from an empty cup and looking nowhere
I try to play a two-way game of solitaire with you, with you

Chorus

Lead break

Chorus

Sleeping with the blind man he leads me to his hell
Running with the cripple to where a young Christ fell
All the while your laughter rings hollow in my head
That’s when I remember the lies I said to you, to you

Well now my time is over your kisses still stay sweet
The wine is gone, the flesh is burnt, the stains are on the sheet
Yeah you, yeah you

Bedlam with the belladonna bride all dressed in grey
I try to lay a false trail but I never get away
Looking for a safe port but left adrift at sea
Sleeping with agony to find that you are me, you’re me, you’re me

Chorus x 2

Georgy lives down backstreet somewhere round No. 4
Gets his pain and pleasure from the red light next door
Tells em he can get it anywhere, anytime
But he’s back again the next with that same old line

You don’t mean that much to me
I’ve got the will to live differently
You don’t mean that much to me
You don’ mean that much

Chrissy likes her wine it makes her beautiful
Chrissy oftens drinks it with a couple of pills
Tomorrow gonna give it up just wait and see
Huddled in the corner hear her say repeatedly

Chorus

Johnny’s got his switchblade makes him feel real tough
Got his studs and leather tries to cut it rough
Cross little Johnny and you’ll wind up dead (bullshit)
Johnny lives with mummy and she still makes his bed
