THE SAME HEAT
(Bridie/Phillips)
And it's the same heat out there,
Dry and old boulders in the weather.
And then the wind buffets the skin
The red earth, the spinifex and Bill
That's all there is everyway he looks
that's all there is.
If you walk upon this road,
even if you walk for days and days
and days and days
You’d be waiting for the red dust sun,
To slowly take you away.
A rusty tin hiding place
And there's red eyes everywhere.
Little desert with a wood and wind parade.
There's lots of heavy drink out there.
Dry and old boulders in the weather.
And nothing else can save the dog's bones
From breaking up and rolling away
Until they turn into red dust…

STORM (1990)
(Not Drowning, Waving)
The dying wheat and buggered ground,
They whipped it 'til it cracked and broke,
On the half shut people in the half shut town,
Then it all came down, rain and tears all around.
The dark clouds gathered over head,
They gathered 'til they cracked and broke,
On the half shut people in the half shut town,
Then it all came down, rain and tears all around.
The waters are warm. The winters are warm.
When we can only trust, the very closest hand.
We walk tired, we walk tired it seems.
Away from the breathing, a normal desire.

OLD WOBBLY MAN
(Bridie/Phillips)
I sit in my wooden box
and feel the edges damp and rough
the rain that falls upon the roof
is leaking down my back.
Everyone inside their rooms
but no one wants to play
the words with which we made up things
aren't working any more.
An open space where no one lives
we are strangers in this land
In the wet season on a light blue sky
and then no more.
I heard the old wobbly man say
one by one we drop hey hey
and all that’s good will drift away
like the waters down.
