I think people tuned in a lot to see Barbara when she first came here and they just didn't like the show they saw. I think it was dull. It was sterile.

Barbara's Been a Bad Girl
Barbara's been a bad girl
Someone should have said
Then taken away her candy
And sent her straight to bed
Barbara grew up with people
Who would never scold
Who were always within reach
Without even being told
She starting meeting friends
Just to keep the blues away
Soom they moved in
And were there to stay
We never really knew little Barbara
When we met she'd already been sold
To friends who didn't care
She only wanted more and not to get old
Barbara had a bad time
Always trying to get more
For Barbara's friends came in bottles
From a prescription drug store
Barbara's been a bad girl
Someone shouold have said
Then taken away her pills
And pulled her out of bed

The sterile
I didn’t steal; I didn’t covet;
I didn’t chase; I didn’t molest.
Instincts have been burnt.
I am worse than the sterile ones.

We have made mistakes. In our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. And when the people raised their voices, we didn't hear. But our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition.

Barbara On Your Mind
Last night you called me barbara
As you lay fast asleep
And although Im not barbara
You wanted me to be
You whispered words I havent heard
In such a long, long time
Last night you said I love you
With barbara on your mind
Sometimes I find traces of her kisses on your skin
And strands of chestnut hair
That say youve been with her again
Little traces of her that it breaks my heart to find
Last night you called me darlin
With barbara on your mind
With barbara on your mind
You held me in your arms so tight
And lying there so close to you
I cried until day light
And though you think that I dont know
Im really not that blind
Last night you said I love you
With barbara on your mind
Last night you called me darlin
With barbara on your mind

I like the sensibility of Australian film a lot and the crews are fantastic. Great characters, wonderful people and no line between - I think in Hollywood they have this line between actors and crew a lot, and that just didn't exist, which I really appreciated.

i didn't do anything today
stay in bed
i'm finally doing what i said i'd never do
i'm doing nothing
i'm doing it for you
and you will admire the ultimate courage
when i throw everything right in the garbage for you
i didn't say anything today
nothing said
i didn't think anything today

i'm finally doing what i said i'd never do
i'm saying nothing
i'm saying it at you
and i will get helpers i'm recruiting them now
i'll show them nothing to do i will show them how
and we will do nothing
we'll do it together
i don't care when we get through
we'll do it forever for you

Open And On Exhibit
The obtaining of success,
Has always been made to look too easy.
Especially by those,
Assessing others right under their noses.
And having no clue what they do to get done.
Or what it has taken for them to get the attention.
And without soliciting to get any from them at all.
'I didn't know that about you? '
~You didn't?
I thought everything I did was open and on exhibit? ~
'Me too.
That goes to show,
We don't know people like we think we do.'
~No.
That goes to show...
Gossip you listen to has nothing to do with truth.~
To hear them say with expressions made,
How lucky someone is...
To get something finally achieved.
When that achievement accomplished,
Had always been there without their awareness.
And in a place they least likely to suspect,
With a doing right in front of their faces.

I Am Alone
I am alone
They didn't know
They wouldn't care
It didn't show
This is how I feel, and so
I'll take my life
My pain will show
They will all say they didn't know
They still don't care, though blood may flow
Through veins into a little bowl
I'll write my tale, in blood I'll show
I'll tell them what they didn't know
Until they care, the blood will flow
And so, and so, my pain will show
I'll go, I'll go, and all will know
I took my life, and this is all

Cornelia
I am a massive fan of the actress, Cornelia Frances;
Any TV or theatre show, her presence really enhances.
Since I was fourteen, of hers, I’ve been a very big fan;
To watch her on TV, home, from school, I quickly ran.
In ‘The Young Doctors’, she played the fiery Sister Scott;
Viewers loved her, but her on-screen nursing staff did not!
She ruled the hospital wards with a cast iron fist;
There wasn’t a single trick that she ever missed!
But, through it all, she struck me as a very warm person;
Someone so very different, from her on-screen version.
When I’ve seen her interviewed, as herself, on TV,
She’s exactly the sort of person, I imagined she’d be.
The next Australian TV series, in which I caught her,
Was as Barbara, in the soap opera ‘Sons and Daughters.’
From this, there were many memorable scenes for me,
Especially those ones involving Barbara’s mother, Dee.
As Barbara, she was, yet again, a lady who was very strong;
Someone who would cope, even when things went very wrong.
To those Barbara liked, she would always extend a warm hand,
But, equally, she was very derisive, to those she couldn’t stand.
When any visitors turned up at the Hamilton household,
They received a welcome, which was either warm or cold.
At people, who she hated, she would stand, and coldly glare,
But with people she liked, she’d wrap her arm around theirs.
The people, who she liked, she would very warmly receive,
But the ones, she hated, she very bluntly asked to leave.
With husband, Gordon, Barbara had a very close bond;
Of each other, they always appeared to be so very fond.
For many years, she’s played Morag in ‘Home and Away’;
She keeps coming and going, but I wish she would stay!
Morag is a top judge, at the local criminal justice court,
So, it’s no surprise to learn, she’s the ‘tough-cookie’ sort.
Cornelia has always had such very expressive eyes,
And she strikes me as someone, who is also very wise.
When she’s with others, I notice every little hug; every little touch;
Her obvious warmth is one of the reasons, why I like her so much.
She’s nearly thirty years older than me: old enough to be my mum!
I’ve heard she has a really great sense of humour, and is great fun.
I can imagine that she’s like a mother to younger members of cast;
That they shared many wonderful times, and had a right old blast!
To meet Cornelia in person, is something which I’d really love to do,
And, for me, it really would be one of my biggest dreams come true.
I can imagine that I’d feel pretty nervous, and feel really rather shy,
But, I hope that I’d be brave enough, to approach her and say ‘hi! ’
Many years ago, in Westcliff-On-Sea, she was in panto,
But I lacked confidence back then, and so I didn’t go.
I really do greatly regret not going to see her now,
And really wish that I could put that right somehow.

Let The People Have Their Say
The tide is turning
Its coming from the street
Read your own wisdom
Not the headlines
Dont let them tell you
Its fine the way it is
Its our agenda
We know better
Let the people have their say
Let the people show the way
Every woman child and man
Has the power in this land
Now dont you worry
The future will unfold
If we are open and ready
We all have choices
Not just the chosen few
So raise your voices
Hold them steady
Let the people have their say
Let the people show the way
Every woman child and man
Has the power in this land
(let the people)
The time has come now
To realize our dream
To claim our future...together
