You’re So Strange
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
Won’t ya Slow Down
I’m tired of chasing you around
I’m glad I don’t have to now
Yeah I don’t have to now
You’re so strange, in every way
When I met you on that fateful day
Everybody said the same
You better look out boy
She’s gonna make you her toy
She was so strange, but I couldn’t stay away
I kept on chasing her around
She kept on dragging the whole thing out
She was so strange
When we were together, she was always in a rush
I liked the silence and the feel, she always had to push
Then I was down and out, she found me out
Digging a bigger hole, diggin a deeper hole
You’re so Strange in every way
But I’m lucky she like’s it that way
You’re So Strange in Every way
You’re so strange but I like you that way
You’re so strange, yeah I chased you around
I couldn’t stay away
You’re so strange, but I like you that way
Won’t you slow down
Yeah I kept on chasing her around
She kept on dragging the whole thing out
You’re so strange in every way
….yeah I like you that way.

It’s Much Better
(Written by Michael Boyle/Stewart Cunningham)
Don’t ya talk so much, ohhh you make me blush
I always see you in my dreams
I wanna tell you how much it means
You keep on talking in my dreams
I wanna hear you say what you mean
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
It’s much Better
It’s much Better than that
It’s much Better
Don’t ya act so tough, oh you’ll say too much
I hear you talking in my dreams
What you say I don’t know what it means
You keep on talking in my dreams
I wanna hear you say what you mean
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
Oh it’s much better than that
You’re so much better than that
You keep on talking in my dreams
You keep on talking, talk ain’t talk

Gimme the Future
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
Gimme the future, gimme the juice
Gimme Gimme everything
Lets forget the past
Gimme the future
Let it all hang loose
I forgot the future
I forgot the past
Gimme the future and gimme gimme the truth
Just gimme the future baby, gonna let the past go loose
Gimme the future baby, I don’t wanna lose
Gimme the future, I want it all with you
Just gimme the future
Just give me the future you can have the truth
Don’t gimme no danger, don’t gimme no shelter
I take a drive in the pouring rain
Through the back streets of my mind
I could never see any future
Till I look in your eyes
I can never see any future
I can never see any future
Just gimme the future baby you can have the truth
Gimme, gimme gimme, let it all hang loose
Gimme the future, I don’t wanna lose
Gimme gimme me the future, won’t end up in the noose.

Cruel City
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
Have you ever seen the sun shine clear like this, I have no pity
The rats like to hide when it’s all so bright
But I have seen what’s really inside
Have you ever seen the night sky clear and cool
It hides a cruel city
Cruel city can you look at me
You wanna know the truth it can set you free
Well come and see me
I’ll tell you ….It’s a cruel city, cruel cruel city
You tried so hard to get a break in this place
You get nothing then they spit in your face
You spend your whole life living here
and now you may as well be living in outer space
Two faced people who don’t really care
There’s no honour in Tarrawanna
Don’t fall for the cruel cruel city
You’re coming last in the human race
You’re coming last!
I survive your demise
I survive and your decline
Is the price for your crime
I survive, I will survive
Your decline…. your demise
It hasn’t always been this way
Poison in the heart and a vacuum in the brain
I’m here to tell you that it’s a tricky game
Keep your wits about you or you’ll end up in the drain
Cruel city, it’s just the same
They wanna see you fail they like it that way
Cruel city is a twisted place
Cruel city is a fuckin shame
Now you wanna runaway

The Lonely Road
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
You’re walking on lonely road
Won’t let no one help you share the load
I can see you walking all alone
A lonely shadow walking in the cold,
Walking alone
You put yourself on that lonely road
Now you’re sitting in some foreign bar
The place is full of people, you don’t know who they are
You head up to your hotel room
Sittin’ there in your lonely gloom
You spent too long on this lonely road
You’re walking on a lonely road
Won’t let no one help you share the load
Woe oh oh that lonely road
No direction – just keep on walking on
You just keep walking on
You won’t open up to anyone
You can’t escape this lonely road
I am not alone
You find yourself in that broken woe
Sittin’ in your room, staring at the TV glue
Your only friend’s a guitar and your favourite tunes
You can hear the people singing down the hall
And you ask yourself
How did I end up on this lonely road?
You can’t escape this lonely road

Wandering Man
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
Like a Gypsy, I was born in a Caravan
My good luck, to be born a simple wandering man
Turn myself inside out, twisting on a roundabout
Looking for an easy way out, head off on a walkabout
I found out, what it’s all about
Hear the people shout
Here comes a wandering man
Don’t try to understand just keep a wondering
Here comes a wandering man
Like a Hobo, I was born by the side of the road
My bad luck to be born in such a miserable hole
Turn myself inside out, twisting on the roundabout
Looking for an easy way out, head off on walkabout
I found out, what it’s all about
Hear the children shout
A house ain’t a home, when you’re alone
A house ain’t a home, when you’re alone
I wanna roam

She’s such a pretty thing we’re loving her thing
She’s such a pretty thing we love to hear her sing
They follow her around the boys in that town
She’s such a pretty thing she’s the jewel in the crown
Such a pretty girl whoe oh oh wo
Such a pretty girl she’s diamond of a pearl
Such a pretty girl wo oh wo
Such a pretty girl she’s a ruling my world
She’s such a pretty thing watching her swing
She’s such a pretty thing we love to hear her sing
They follow her around all over that town
She’s such a pretty thing she’s a beautiful sound
She’s ruling my world
She’s ruling your world
She rules the whole world
What’s that you say she’s coming my way
I can tell her anything that I want to say
She’s coming my way
She’s such a pretty thing we’re watching her swing
She’s such a pretty thing we lovin her thing
They follow her around the boys in that town
She’s such a pretty thing she’s wearing my ring

The Other Ones
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
Can someone call me up and tell me what’s going on
Someone call me up tell me what’s going on
I heard you got caught messing round with the other ones
Can you call me up tell me what’s going on?
Dammit Call me up, tell me what’s going on
Dammit Call me up, tell me what’s going on
I heard you been caught up messing round with the other ones
Dammit Call me up, tell me what’s going on
Jackie called me up late last night
She told me a little about what’s going on
Something about the police, drugs and a girl
She said you got caught messing round with the other ones
Police knocked on my door at 6 am …again!
They wouldn’t tell me what’s been going on.
Can you call me up tell me what’s going on
Dammit Call me up tell me what’s going on
We heard you got caught messin round with the other ones
Dammit Call me up tell me what’s going on

No Room at the Inn
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
There’s no room at the inn
They won’t let these boys in
We can write em tunes we can sing any songs
But theres no room at the Inn
I knocked on the front door
And I rapped on the window pane
But there’s no room at the Inn
I can’t even break my way in
I’d like to kick that door in
No room at the Inn
So I went round the back door
And I begged on the kitchen hand
Please throw me some bones, do anything you can
Be he would not let me in….
He said take your songs home
Don’t come round here no more
You wouldn’t fit in…No room at the Inn
So I hit the dusty back roads of old
On my way I never struck any gold
Found myself stuck in many a hole
But the people told me wherever I roamed
You got something man, don’t give up the ghost
You got something man ….more precious than gold
Don’t give up the ghost
Now twenty years on
They still won’t let me in
I can see in the window, I hear laughter and gin
I’d like to kick that door in
But time’s moved me on
And I found treasure and gold
On the backstreets of Rome
I made them my home, I made them my home
So I hit the dusty back roads of old
Found myself stuck in many a hole
On my way I never struck any gold
But the people they told me wherever I roamed
You got something man, don’t give up the ghost
You got something man, that’s never been told
You got something man, don’t sell em your soul
You got something man ...more precious than gold
Don’t give up the ghost

Don’t Think Twice
(Written by Stewart Cunningham)
Gotta think twice it’s alright
Don’t think twice Just do it tonight
Pick up that guitar
Don’t have to take it too far
Make things better for a little while
Just do it tonight – makes it alright
Do it tonight, don’t think twice
Do it tonight
I can stay at home and it’s alright
I can stay at home and do it another night
Staying inside where it’s safe and warm
I don’t wanna go out
If I don’t wanna go it’s not my show
But on my shoulders
There’s always an excuse to do it another time
Don’t thing twice
Don’t think twice, just do it tonight
Don’t think twice, do it alright
Pick up that guitar
Don’t have to take it too far
Going out alone but it’s alright
It’s alright – I’ll do it tonight
And it makes no difference if anybody really knows
Maybe it’s alright, maybe don’t think twice
Tomorrow never ever comes
Your better off doing it tonight.
Don’t think Twice, just do it tonight
And it makes no difference if anybody really knows
Do it tonight
