COORABELL MIST words and music vasudha harte Last night Was so misty I got out of my car And found I’d driven myself To your house I knew You had a spare bed So I tiptoed down your starry driveway Fell asleep on the verandah at your house and thank you for being here just when I needed a soft place to lay my head down thank you for being you life’s so much richer and sweeter since you’ve been around morning Coorabell hills still misty And I found myself under a line of beautiful shirts You’d hung on the verandah At your house You woke Left for the markets While I stayed back and wrote this song On the piano in the lounge room At your house and thank you for being here just when I needed a soft place to lay my head down thank you for being you life’s so much richer and sweeter since you’ve been around you’ve done so much for me without doing a thing thank you for being here just when I needed a soft place to lay my head down thank you for being you life’s so much richer and sweeter since you’ve been around life’s got more music and poetry since you I have found

INTOXICATING BREW words & music vasudha harte @ greeves st st kilda I was sober last night When I made love to you I was sober last night When I made love to you We laid our souls bare and we laid our flesh bare too But now making love to you is like drinking an intoxicating brew Making love to you is like drinking an intoxicating brew You were sober last night When you made love to me You were sober last night When you made love to me We used to do it years ago when we were far too drunk to see But now making love to you is like drinking an intoxicating brew Making love to you is like drinking an intoxicating brew Back when we were young We were only 16 We had a brief romance but then You split the scene When we met up again It was 1989 I still had a thing for you but you had another fish on the end of your line we made love anyway on Melbourne Cup Day with our bellies full of booze someone came home we snuck out the window I was wearing your shoes They were far too big for me Making love to you is like drinking an intoxicating brew Making love to you is like drinking an intoxicating brew We were sober last night When we made love We were sober last night When we made love I just want to get drunk every night

TOM’S WAITRESS words and music vasudha harte I have a secret I must confess I wanna be tom’s waitress I want to be the woman who holds the flame That lights the cigarette of the holy gravelly voiced one in a game Of coffee and rolls adoration Hopeless hospitality infatuation I want to stand at his table with his head at my torso Ask him what he wants and point out that also We have love consuming wine to go with his meal And like mary magdelene at his feet I will kneel Shine up his shoes with spittle of awe Tickle his toes so I can hear him guffaw Yes yes I must confess I wanna be tom’s waitress I wanna be tom’s waitress It’s not such an impossible dream I guess I could find him in America by sailing across the sea Pull pen and pad out of pocket and say so baby what’ll it be I could sing you a song about toasted cheese sangers Or perhaps you’d prefer to eat mash and bangers I know a cool about being perpetually drunk Or we could gaily swap stories on the virtues of punk I could serve you up a slice of our best grapefruit moon And while you’re consuming it I’ll quietly swoon I’d pluck up the courage when time was in fullness And say I’ve always wanted to meet you your coolness Yes yes I must confess I wanna be tom’s waitress I wanna be the waitress of tom Not his daughter or lover or sister or mom But an anonymous girl in his old café scene That he strikes up a chat with at the coffee machine A charmed willing object for his observation Transformed into lyrics via sweet inspiration And when he’s busily chopping out that song I’d jump in his piano and say take me along I’ll serve you up pancakes with pancakes and mustard He’ll look at me strange and say baby you’ve lost it Ah but a look is a look and it’s enough to be satisfied And I’d drink in that glorious gaze and happily die Yes yes I must confess I wanna be tom’s waitress

GOOLANGA GOOLANGEE* words and music vasudha harte *Ruby Langford’s words BBWF 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 Naoto Kan 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 Yoshihiko Noda government needs to make decisions that are pro environment To remember their compassion acknowledge human rights Not only making sure that they’re in cosy beds at night What will it take for them to shut every plant down so there will never be another nuclear meltdown There's no use saving face now or sticking to convention We need 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

DRUNK ON YOUR KISSES words and music vasudha harte I can’t wait to get drunk on your kisses again Nuzzle and cuddle and caress and then Lose myself in the the longing of our lips Feel our tongues as they slides and they slips Their sensuous ways in and out of our mouths Softly disarming ourselves and our souths Oh let us be fire cracker kiss drunk tonight Smooch seduce nibble and bite Kiss til the sun itself kisses the dawning Carousing arousaling all through the morning And give ourselves over to that most tender art That shuts out the world and opens the heart Eyes closed Abandoned to passion Sublimely surrendered To glorious glorious pashing The never-ending snog The timeless embrace Innocents oblivious To that great tonsil chase Eyes closed Abandoned to passion Sublimely surrendered To glorious glorious pashing The never-ending snog The timeless embrace Innocents oblivious To that great tonsil chase I can’t wait to get drunk I can’t wait to get rolling drunk I can’t wait to get drunk on your kisses again and again and again
