It was January 1963 when Johnny came home with a gift for me,
He said I bought it for you because I love you,
And I bought it for you cause it's your birthday too,
He was very nice and he was so very kind,
To think of me at this point in time.
I used to think of him,
He used to think of me.
He told me to close my eyes,
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw tears run in his eyes,
But he never meant to hurt me,
Oh God.
Johnny don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please I beg don't do this to me.
Johnny don't point that gun at me,
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life,
Johnny came with another wife,
And he often remembered how it used to be,
Before that specail occasion 1963,
There was too many ways that you could kill somone,
Like in a love affair when the love has gone.
He used to think of her,
She used to think of him.
He told me to close my eyes,
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw hatred in his eyes,
But he never meant to hurt me,
Oh God.
Johnny don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please I beg don't do this to me.
Johnny you keep on using me,
Can I change my life for any price?
Johnny won't you listen to me?
I just want you to be mine,
I don't want this world to shine,
I don't want this bridge to burn,
Johnny do you miss me?
I just want to feel for you,
I will always feel for you,
I will always feel for you,
I will always feel for you.
hopefully this will open some of your eyes and minds to new music by ONLY being able to read the lyrics...

Run 2
Answer me why don't you answer me?
I can't recall the day,
That I last heard from you.
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing,
So here's what you've got to do,
You work your way to the top of the world,
Then you break your life in two.
Well what's the use in complaining,
When you got what you don't need?
Anyone would think you were hard done to,
What do you want me to believe?
What the hell is happening?
I can't think of everything,
I don't know what day it is,
Or who I'm talking to.
But I know that I'm okay,
Cause you're here with me today,
I haven't got a single problem,
Now that I'm with you.
So what's the use in complain,
When you've got everything you need?
Anyone would think you were hard done to,
What do you want me to believe?
I can't recall the day,
That I last heard from you.
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing,
So here's what you've got to do,
You work your way to the top of the world,
Then you break your life in two.
Well what's the use in complaining,
When you got what you don't need?
Anyone would think you were hard done to,
What do you want me to believe?
What the hell is happening?
I can't think of everything,
I don't know what day it is,
Or who I'm talking to.
But I know that I'm okay,
Cause you're here with me today,
I haven't got a single problem,
Now that I'm with you.
So what's the use in complain,
When you've got everything you need?
Anyone would think you were hard done to,
What do you want me to believe?
Love Vigilantes
I've just come from the Land of the Sun,
From a war that must be won in the name of truth,
With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save,
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God.
I want to see my family my wife and child waiting for me,
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see.
You just can't believe the joy I did receive,
When I finally got my leave and I was going home,
I flew through the sky my convictions could not lie,
For my Country I would die and I will see it soon.
I want to see my family my wife and child waiting for me,
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see.
When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor,
And with tears her eyes were sore I did not know why,
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram,
Said that I was a brave, brave man but that I was dead.
I want to see my family my wife and child waiting for me,
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see.
I want to see my family my wife and child waiting for me,
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see.

Beds Are Burning
Out where the river broke,
The blood wood and the desert oak,
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels steam in 45 degrees.
The time has come to say fair's fair,
To pay the rent to pay our share,
The time has come a fact's a fact,
It belongs to them let's give it back.
How can we dance when our Earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our Earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
The time has come to say fair's fair,
To pay the rent now to pay our share.
Four wheels scare the cockatoos,
From Kintore East to Yuendemu,
The western desert lives and breathes in 45 degrees.

She Will Be Loved
Beauty Queen of only 18,
She had some trouble with herself,
He was always there to help her,
She always belonged to someone esle.
I drove for miles and miles,
And wound up at your door,
I've had you so many times,
But somehow I want more.
I don't mind spending everyday,
Out on your corner in the pouring rain,
Look for the girl with a broken smile,
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile.
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved.
Tap on my window,
Knock on my door,
I want to make you feel beautiful,
I know I tend to get so insecure,
It doesn't matter anymore.
It's not always rainbows and butterflies,
It's compromise that moves us along,
My heart is full and my door's always open,
You come anytime you want.
I don't mind spending everyday,
Out on your corner in the pouring rain,
Look for the girl with a broken smile,
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile.
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved.
I know where you hide,
Alone in your car,
Know all of the things,
That make you who you are,
I know that goodbye,
Means nothing at all,
Comes back and begs me,
To catch her everytime she falls.
Tap on my window,
Knock on my door,
I want to make you feel beautiful.
I don't mind spending everyday,
Out on your corner in the pouring rain,
Look for the girl with the broken smile,
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile.
And she will be loved,
And she will be loved.
And she will be loved,
Please don't try so hard,
And she will be loved,
To say goodbye.
Please don't try so hard,
To say goodbye,
Please don't try so hard,
To say goodbye,
Please don't try so hard,
To say goodbye.

Right Here
I know I've been mistaken,
Just give me a break,
And see the changes that I've made,
I've got some imperfections,
But how can you collect them all,
And throw them in my face?
But you always find a way,
To keep me right here waiting,
You always find the words to say,
To keep me right here waiting.
If you choose to walk away,
I'd still be right here waiting,
Searching for the things to say,
To keep you right here waiting.
I hope you're not intending,
To be so condisending,
It's as much as I can take,
You're so independent,
You just refuse to bend,
So I keep bending till I break.
You always find a way,
To keep me right here waiting,
Always find the words to say,

To keep you right here waiting.
I've made that commitment,
I'm willing to bleed for you,
I've needed fullfillment,
I've found what I need in you.
Why can't you just forgive me?
I don't want to relive all the mistakes,
I've made along the way.
But I always find a way,
To keep you right here waiting,
I always find the words to say,
To keep you right here waiting.
But you always find away,

To keep me right here waiting.
If I choose to walk away,
Would you be right here waiting?
Searching for those things to say,
Would you be right here waiting?
Just give me a break,
And see the changes that I've made,
I've got some imperfections,
But how can you collect them all,
And throw them in my face?
But you always find a way,
To keep me right here waiting,
