Big Picture
04:30
|

|
You find shells on the beach
They dodge mines in the ground
You sip wine by the fire
While their homes
are burning down
You let your children run free
Their sons and daughters live in fear
You live in the land of plenty
But you say, there ain’t no room here
Oh, no no no
No no no
No no no
Your politicians
Sell you their lies and peddle their spin
For 30 pieces of silver
Those fools would tell you anything
You watch the nightly news
But you don’t take anything in
You see Joseph and Mary with child
But you say, there ain't no room at the inn
Oh, no no no
No no no
No no no
Oh, no no no
No no no
No no no
You’ve got to
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind
To the big picture baby
Take a look around
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind
To the big picture baby
Take a look around
Why don’t you
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind
To the big picture baby
Take a look around
Open your eyes
It’s a big world outside your front door
Open your mind
To the big picture baby
Take a look around

It’s 3am and I’ve got nowhere to go
I’m happy lying here with you
No matter what tomorrow brings
This here and now belongs to me and you
It’s 3am and I’ve got nowhere to be
I can lie all night just to hear you breathe
It’s 3am and all’s right with the world
Holding you, loving you
Holding you, loving you… girl
And when the morning comes
And when the morning comes
And when the morning comes
I’ll be here with you, to greet the sun
It’s 3am and the rain is falling hard
The thunder of my beating of heart
The storm is close, we slowly move
And lose ourselves, perfectly in tune
Holding you, loving you
Holding you, loving you… girl
Holding you, loving you
Holding you, loving you… girl
And when the morning comes
And when the morning comes
And when the morning comes
I’ll be here with you, to greet the sun
It’s 3am and I’ve got nowhere to go
It’s 3am and I’ve got nowhere to go

Dangerous Girl
03:44
|
|||
|
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
She drew me in to her labyrinth world
And I followed her down the rabbit hole
My heart served on a platter, she was mad as a hatter
I played with fire and got myself burned
I took the lessons but I never learned
I returned time and again to her world
Like nothing else mattered, so easily flattered
I was dazed by the headlights
Caught in the crossfire
She pulled the trigger
And I just stood still
And barely escaped with my life
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
Beautifully deadly, with femme fatale curves
I let her to push me close to the edge
Plasticine pliable, I’m a fool undeniable
No more than a sideshow
She just toyed with my ego
She lit the fires
And I walked right in
And barely escaped with my life
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
I fell in love...
I was dazed by the headlights
Caught in the crossfire
She pulled the trigger
And I just stood still
And barely escaped with my life
And all because…
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
I fell in love with a dangerous girl
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love

Carry Your Cross
04:44
|
|||
|
Take all your memories and put them
Inside a box
Rolling stones gather no moss
Don’t shed a tear, don’t let them
See that you’re lost
You’ve got to carry your cross
In the name of the Father
And of the Son
The Father loves you
His will be done
So in silence
You carry your cross
Take all your anger and push it
Deep down inside
Remember to nod and smile
40 years in the desert, because
Of these men of the cloth
All these years you carried your cross
In the name of the Father
And of the Son
The Father loves you
His will be done
So in silence
You carried your cross
Don’t say a word
Who would believe you
You're just a child
And they hold your soul
And leave you to carry the cross
At the end of a rope
The end of a gun
The sins of the fathers
Die with the sons
Who in silence carried their cross
In the name of the Father
And of the Son
The Father loves you
His will be done
So in silence
They carried their cross
But the silence is done!

Dead On My Feet
04:56
|
|||
|
[ Take me higher baby
Take me higher
Baby take me there ]
I can't go on forever
In this fashion
You're the straw that broke the camel
Playin' with my passion
I'm essentially weak
I crave love's distractions
Your body's all talk baby
But so little action
Perfect line and length
You drain my strength
So discreet
Tempt my desire
Take me higher
Then retreat
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
I can't take it no more
I can't fight the fire
You could tip the balance baby
Quench my desire
Love's potentially sweet
Put the gears on action
There'd be no time for talkin'
If you'd let love find the traction
Perfect line and length
You drain my strength
So discreet
Tempt my desire
Take me higher
Then retreat
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet
[ Take me higher baby
Take me higher
Baby take me there ]
You're leaving me
Dead on my feet baby
You're leavin' me
Dead on my feet girl
You heat me up
You're just playin' with me baby
You light the fire
Just to drive me crazy girl

Get Me Off This Rock
05:02
|
|||
|
[Tick, tock, tick, tock]
Up, down, spinning around
Driven by our greed, we've burned our bridges down
Wrong, right, we don't know day from night
We argue over pennies, as the clock is ticking down
Get me out of here
Blue, Green, she's our Life Machine
One precious lady, spinning out in space
You, me, her careless seeds
She gave us a garden, so we paved over her face
Get me out of here
Get me off this rock
It's a lunatic asylum
We trade our lives for pay
Now the walls are crumbling down
Get me off this rock
It's a one way street we're driving
These towers that we've made
Time will soon erase
So...
Get me out of here
Get me off this rock
It's a lunatic asylum
We trade our lives for pay
Now the walls are coming down
Get me off this rock
This doomsday ship we're riding
These towers that we've made
Time will soon erase
So...
get me out of here

Her Royal Majesty
03:17
|
|||
|
I look to her window and see her silhouette
She dances alone, a sad pirouette
She throws back martinis and tries to forget
That she once was a queen
She courted her lovers with open contempt
She used them, abused them, and none were exempt
From her machinations, her cruel attempts
To silence the voices within
Now she dances alone
Forgotten by all, and wanted by no one
She sits on her throne
Her a Royal Majesty
Now she dances alone
Forgotten by all, and wanted by no one
She sits on her throne
Her a Royal Majesty

Sugar Girl

Hey sugar girl
Yeah I’m sweet on you
One little taste
I want all of you
You’ve opened my eyes
To the possibility
That I'm not all done
There’s still life in me
You're my sugar girl
You’ve addicted me
One look in your eyes
It was plain to see
You’ve captured my heart
So easily
We’ve barely begun
But you’ve already won me
Sugar Girl
Sugar, sugar, sugar girl
Fallin’ head over feet
But I’m feeling no pain
Surrendered to this delicate treat
She’s pure spun sugar made
My sugar, sugar, sugar
Sugar babe
Pure spun
My sugar, sugar, sugar
Sugar babe
Sugar Girl
So sweet through and through
My bitter days
And loneness are through
You’ve taken my hand
Leading me to
Better days
Just, me and you
Sugar Girl
Sugar, sugar, sugar girl
Sugar Girl
Sugar, sugar, sugar girl

No Turning Back
04:52
|
|||
|
Somewhere in the dark, I can hear you breathe
I can feel desire, stir inside of me
In matters of the heart, I wear it on my sleeve
I know no other way, no no no
Right from the start, I knew you were the one
It was like the heat, from a million suns
And when I caught your eye, I was totally undone
There was no turning back, no no no
When fate plays her hand
There's no, no turning back
I could feel my heart, beat inside my chest
Driven by a thirst, that I could never quench
And then you smiled, I was at your mercy then
There's was no turning back, no no no
Move to the edge
And let our bodies fall
We'll either find our wings and fly
Or tumble in free fall
Let the winds
Take us where they will
Embraced as lovers
Until we've had our fill
When fate plays her hand
There's no, no turning back
When fate takes control
There's just no fighting that

I Ain't Over You
02:47
|

|
Everywhere I go
I still see your face
Your beautiful smile
And your confident grace
I ain’t over you
I ain’t over you
And I’m smoking too many
Damned cigarettes
Drinking too much
Cos I’m trying to forget
I ain’t over you
I ain’t over you
Don’t care what people say
I’d take you back in a heartbeat
How would they know
What’s good for me
They don’t know you like I do
‘Cos the best of me
Came from me and you
I don't wanna move on
You still fill the space
In my broken heart
I don’t wanna replace you
I ain’t over you
I ain’t over you
I ain’t over you
I ain’t over you
Don’t care what people say
I’d take you back in a heartbeat
How would they know
What’s good for me
They don’t know you like I do
‘Cos the best of me
Came from me and you
I ain’t over you

Being Free
04:15
|

|
I heard a little rumour, is it true?
That as of today, you and I are through
A little birdie whispered it to me
Your wish on your birthday, is to set yourself free
So, Happy Birthday to you
I hope it’s as fun as can be
And you enjoy your
365 days of being free
In just one year, I thought our love had grown
Everytime our eyes would meet, I was overthrown
You light up my world, like a christmas tree
But today, my beautiful girl, you’re leaving me
So, Happy Birthday to you
I hope it’s as fun as can be
And you enjoy your
365 days of being free
You've got the whole world eating
From the palm of your hand
And I guess that i wasn't
A part of your plans
You know where you're going
My beautiful girl
My end is your beginning
You're gonna conquer the world!!
So, Happy Birthday to you
I hope it’s as fun as can be
And you enjoy your
365 days of being free
365 days of being free
365 days of being free!
Hap hap, Hap
Happy Birthday
Hap hap, Hap
Happy Birthday
Hap hap, Hap
Happy Birthday

David Fuller Melbourne, Australia
I am a Melbourne based songwriter. I write about the things I see, the things I feel, the things that intrigue me and move me. I have eclectic tastes in music, but my heart always drifts back to 70s and 80s rock. My own music draws from that rich well; a blend of rock, blues, soul, funk and jazz. ... more
