LITTLE SPIRIT words and music vasudha harte I met my sister on a country train She said I’m going to the big city to hang out for a few days I said hey sister what’s going on She said actually I’m going there for a termination I met my sister back in boarding school She had a boyfriend who was not so cool I said hey sister what’s that frown She said actually I’ve got this heavy decision going down O sister it’s all right To let that little one take flight O sister it’s okay To let that little spirit fly away Fly away I met my sister in the doctor’s chair She said I’ve got your test results right there I said sister I’m not ready for this one Oh no no no And I wish she’d said O sister it’s all right To let that little one take flight O sister it’s okay To let that little spirit fly away Fly away I met my sister on her Indian balcony She said I’m telling everyone that I am in retreat I said sister you’re so beautiful She said actually I’ve just had me an operation And I put my arms around her I said I’ve been down that road too And she put her arms around me And we wept O we wept like sisters do Like sisters do O sister it’s all right To let that little one take flight O sister it’s okay To let that little spirit fly away Fly away Fly away O little spirit won’t you fly away Let that little spirit fly away

FERTILISER MAN words and music vasudha harte I don’t want to see your face It would only spoil my day It shows anger hate and judgement Well you just a mirror on your way We peeled off those onion layers And jumped into the stew Some days I can’t help thinking I wish I’d never met you Well there must have been some kind of magic For both of us to stay But we drove it underground Yes we hid it all away And I sucked it out of you and you Sucked it out of me Now I’m going to go digging again To get back my energy Thanks for the fertiliser man Cos all the shit’s gone down quite nicely I’ve been hanging down in the compost heap Now my soil’s all rich and spicey Cos I look so cool and I feel so hot I look so hot and I feel so cool I look so cool and I feel so hot So you came and showed your face Now it looks all right to me It show softness now and love And vulnerability And you came and stood real close to me And we looked eye to eye Oh I just couldn’t help myself You kissed me and I cried But thanks for the fertiliser man Thanks for the fertiliser man Cos I look so cool and I feel so hot I look so hot and I feel so cool I look so cool and I feel so hot

HIGH PRIESTESS words & music vasudha harte She’s soft She knows what she needs veiled in the moonlight She’s strong Got the fruits of the earth at her feet Endurance to go on a long journey inside Got the insight to know it could take a little time So she melts with the moon Aah High Priestess Aah High Priestess

GOOLANGA GOOLANGEE* words and music vasudha harte Modern western development Is turning our land into excrement Poisoning the water killing off the trees Encouraging the spread of the uranium disease Greedily the companies take what they want Leave the earth dying and act nonchalant They won’t get away with it for very long Cos soon they’ll all have cancer and be dead and gone They can’t see past the dollar signs in their eyes Their hearts are closed to the sounds of the people’s cries Their hearts are closed as they take on a trust me guise They’ve got to realise Nature’s breathtaking beauty is priceless Continuing a history of invasion and disrespect will sacrifice us There won’t be fresh water for us to drink There won’t be clean air for us to breathe They’ve got to listen up listen up listen up Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Australia’s Howard government Has turned our nation into an embarrassment Forgetting their compassion ignoring human rights Remembering to make sure they’re in cosy beds at night What will it take for them to pay attention And stop pretending not to hear the problems that we mention We want to free the refugees from prison camp detention We want a state of love not a state of endless tension But they can’t see past the fear growing in their eyes Their hearts are closed to the sounds of the people’s cries All we want is to live in peace Just a little open heartedness at least They’ve got to listen up listen up listen up Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people Goongalayla Listen to the voice of the people Goongalayla Listen to the voice of the people Escucha la vos popular Listen to the voice of the people Goolanga Goolangee Listen to the voice of the people *inspire by Ruby Langford’s words Guningah Nullangee

SISTAHOOD words and music vasudha harte The sistahood is gathering We’re making jaws drop down We’re running amok cos we don’t give a fuck We’re taking over this town We’ve spent too long hiding underneath a rubble of self doubt now Our wounds are breaking open so we’ll let our life blood flow We’ll stand here and declare it cos we’ve got to let it out now The earth needs our attention and we’ve got seeds of love to sow Cos the sistahood is gathering We’re making jaws drop down We’re running amok cos we don’t give a fuck We’re taking over this town We don’t want to see this farcical freak show any more Of men in suits all in cahoots dictating law and war We want to see humanity embracing what we’ve got To love the earth from deep within before we lose the lot Cos the sistahood is gathering We’re making jaws drop down We’re running amok cos we don’t give a fuck We’re taking over this town There’s children here old people too & black wisdom for you brother we’re all here to remind ourselves to take care of each other so give to yourself give to your friends give to your enemies too give to the earth and the earth will give her riches back to you the sistahood the sistahood the sistahood the sistahood is gathering We’re making jaws drop down We’re running amok cos we don’t give a fuck We’re taking over this town
