Mr. Radio

Hello, mr. radio, you friendly station,
So glad of your company, your morning music,
My wife she ran away, she left our home,
And though you're here with me, i'm on my own.
Hello, mr. radio, you friendly speaker,
You played my request today, request to see her
Your voice comes riding home across the air,
You travel 'round the world, but still you're here.
I heard on the news today the world is no good,
But if she returns today mine could be so good
I look into the sky, your waves rush by,
The weather man has lied, it makes me cry.
Hello, mr. radio, do i disturb you?
Sometimes i forget my place, i seem to know you
I miss you when you close, you'll never know,
And when your programmes go, i'm on my own.

Overlord of the World

If I were in charge of the world
Lots of things would be different
There would be world peace
All war would cease

If I were in charge of the world
I would never be sad
Always surrounded
By a friendly fad

If I were in charge of the world
All the resources would be replenished
We would never run out of oil
All of this taking place in the dreamworld

If I were in charge of the world
There would be no homeless people
People would care for others
The cruelness will crumple

*Fad is an inside joke; it’s a person who is kind and friendly

Because over and over again, the times that I've done really good things is because I've had a wonderful client of some kind, and a lot of it depended on me to induce them to be creative.

The Turn Of A Friendly Card (Part One)

(lead vocal - chris rainbow)
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier
For god knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all's the king's horse and all the king's men
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
For they think it will make their lives easier
And god knows it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral...

Umina Bowling Club

There’s nothing that’s finer when you are in Umina
Than bowling right up to the friendly bowling club
There’s nothing that’s finer when you are in Umina
Than dropping in for just a drink or some good grub.

Behind the bar you’ll find our Suzy, Linda and Michelle
When you come in you’ll get a welcome and a smile as well
And if the mood should ever take you to the pokie room
There’s all the games that might just make your fortune very soon.

On Thursday nights the club is packed when bingo starts at four
And Friday concerts – there’s no extra charges at the door
Our raffles too, they need an extra special mention
Its your happiness that’s our intention.

Now, when leaving, should you think you’re over the limit
We’ve got a bus that takes you home – no paying for a ticket
So if you’re young or if you’re old or somewhere in between
Just come along, join up with us and find out what we mean.

If

If all the world were funny
I could laugh it away.
If all the world were sad
I could cry night and day.
If all the world were kind
I could soothe my soul.
If all the world were mean
I could play a friendly role.
If all the world were ugly
I could close my eyes to its sight.
If all the world were beauty
I could indulge in delight.
If all the world were peaceful
I could capture calm.
If all the world were love
I could offer to all my palm.

And if all the ifs can never be
then what's to become of you and me?

A friendly smile

Just your friendly smile
When I think of, it makes
Me smile and afloat on the Nile

Absent, no matter long it takes
Your smile stands vividly still
In my memory and can it fill

Offered, your friendly smile
Is lovely for a being my kind
To love you I made up my mind

With your friendly smile
None of smiles can your place
Take and shrink back my pace

Everlasting....

Seeing a world
not quite understanding
to anyone not even you

You find yourself
walking down
this world of confusion
always thing of home and
how to get home

Never knowing
will you ever see home again
hoping ever day to
see your home
one last time
before its too late

Never knowing
can be torture to you
and can be held against you
if your life depended on it

The Turn Of A Friendly Card

(lead vocal - chris rainbow)
There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains
On a wheel of perpetual motion
Who belong to all races and answer all names
With no show of outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier
But the doorway before them is barred
And the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

Chains Of Darkness

Twell it as it isw and say it a it was,
Tell it like it was and say it like it is,
For they were given the Laws of Righteousness and the yrejected them!
But the old world saved Noah and seven others.

Chains of darkness,
Bringing the flood upon the world!
And like filthy conversations of the wicked;
Universal,
Presumptuous,
Self-willed,
Chiefly like them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness!
But tell it as it isa and say it as it was.
