And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

When I was a young man I carried a pack And lived the free life of a rover From the Murrays green banks to the dusty outback I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in 1915, the country said, Son, Its no time for roving, theres work to be done And they gave me a tin hat and gave me a gun And they sent me away to the war And the band played Waltzing Matilda As the ship pulled away from the quay And amidst all the cheers, the flag waving and tears We sailed off for Gallipoli Joy (1981) _:__ The Very Best of the Skids (2003: 5:33 Lyrics: Eric Bogle Music: Traditional Arrangement: Richard Jobson & Russell Webb Oh well I remember that terrible day When our blood stained the sand and the water And how in that hell that they called Souvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter Johnny Turk he was waiting He primed himself well Showered us with bullets and rained us with shells And in ten minutes flat hed blown us to hell Nearly blew us right back to Australia And the band played Waltzing Matilda As we stopped to bury the slain We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs Then we started all over again They collected the cripples, the wounded and maimed And they shipped us back home to Australia The armless, the legless, the blind and insane All the brave wounded heroes of Souvla And when our ship pulled into Circular Quay And I looked at the place where me legs used to be I thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me To grieve and to mourn and to pity And the band played Waltzing Matilda As they carried us down the gangway But nobody cheered they just stood there and stared And then turned their faces away So now every April I sit on my porch And I watch the parade pass before me And I see my old comrades how proudly they march Reliving old dreams and past glory But the old men march slowly, their bones stiff and sore Tired old men from the tired old war And the young people ask what are they marching for And I ask meself the same question But the band played Waltzing Matilda And the old men they answer the call But year by year those old men disappear Soon no-one will march there at all

Animation
Animation caused the game to close How we hurried to survive Animation caused the hanging fire How we hurried to retire Disengage time and the bodys on its own Feel the stagnation and this is where we are thrown Labour saving days are the ones that cant recline Labour saving days are the ones that always shine Animation was a hidden source Always seeking a new mind Animation was a purifier Always starching a new find Days in Europa (2001) 4:49 Dunfermline (1987) 4:04 Sweet Suburbia - The Best of the Skids (1995) 4:04 The Very Best of the Skids (2003) 4:05 The Saints Are Coming: The Best of The Skids (2007) 4:33 Masquerade Masquerade: The Skids Live (2007) 4:16 Lyrics and music: Richard Jobson & Stuart Adamson Rejuvenate time and the bodies join the throng Contact stains but the time it feels so long Leisure loving days are the ones that cant decide Leisure loving days are the ones that cant provide Animation was a lying cloud Pretending to survive Animation was a solemn heir Withdrawn from the play Animate time and the game is on its own Play at sustaining and this is where we are thrown Animating days are the ones that cant recline Make believe days are the ones that always shine Leisure loving days are the ones that cant decide Leisure loving days are the ones that cant provide Labour saving days are the ones that cant recline Labour saving days are the ones that always shine

Arena
Its gross this loss of jaded sanity Days are found recalling vanity The guise the poise serving solitude Days are found plating gratitude Arena, I seen her misdemeanour, in the corner Mural watching children screaming Running running running running running run The face, the grace of this atttitude Make mistakes onto platitudes The race, the case the boys are innocent These mistakes buy new testaments The Absolute Game (2001) 5:24 Lyrics and music: Richard Jobson, Stuart Adamson, Russell Webb, & Mike Baillie Arena, I seen her misdemeanour, in the corner Mural watching children screaming Noble watchmen guard the children Mural watching children screaming Running running running running running run All the boys are innocent, lonely, oh, oh All the boys are innocent, lonely, oh, oh All the boys are innocent, lonely, oh, oh

Brothers
Stood in the field And echoed a thunder Dream of a hill And valleys of gold Summer of stream And crystal-like fountain A flower of joy Free from the burden Of man-made in toil The sorrowful sight of Brothers in mourning Bathed in a garden Of greenfield and plenty Cleansed of a sin And ready to call The angel of woman Divine in her reign A flower of joy Free from the burden So sick and so old The sorrowful sight of Brothers in mourning Brother watch over me, guard me day by day Brother watch over me, your strength my need to fight Alive and so sure I'm ready to answer Already a man And steady in stand I'm already there, I'm already there Give me a lance I'm ready to answer The sorrowful sight Of brothers in mourning Brothers in mourning Brother watch over me Guard me day by day Brother watch over me Your strength my need to fight

Calling the Tune

Down in the gutter Where white eyes roar A man seeks a lover To keep behind doors Lie in a bedroom Want to make more An ignorant human Can't hear you call Calling calling, crazy tunes Look all around you Your life is in ruins A negative husband No love for his wife He lives in an army To kill is his life Along came a bullet That shattered his head Once was a father Now he's just dead Calling calling, crazy tunes Look all around you Your life is in ruins A handsome young stallion To make is no pain Corrupt and deceitful He feels no disdain His mission is simple To add to the score Look through his reflection Ah what could be more Calling calling, crazy tunes Look all around you Your life is in ruins My body, my body Has taken a shape Dead with no friendship I cannot relate Blinded and deafened They can't see my state Inside is a kick Can this be my fate Calling calling, crazy tunes Look all around you Your life is in ruins, look all around you, life is in ruins

A Challenge (The Wanderer)

I The wanderer told me Of galleon shores how mystery beckons while fire lights close He spoke of danger in unholy men The eye of the lion who looks over men I've never seen anything I've wanted to sail Give unto me, a challenge II The wanderer left me Excited by need To run from the mountains and take to the shores He swore an oath To journey afar holding his head high drenched in fatigue III I watched from a distance The manner of his way and fought for a reason to which I could remain I gathered the soil The fodder of my feed and ran from the mountains the honeycombe of seed. I've never seen anything I've wanted to sail Give unto me, a challenge hi ho. IV I took to the ocean Affection of the sea the roaring of winds the blessing of my plead Gales held a warning Of what lay ahead the signs of a strange land those mysteries of sea V I braved through the storm Resolute in fright and leapt at the landing no caution in sight A fire on the sea shore Defiant to the last desire took control the famine and the fast I've never seen anything I've wanted to sail Give unto me, a challenge hi ho. VI I seen in the distance The wanderer so bold the might and the standing a journey for the true I boasted of my glory An action of the brave he laughed and he shunned and turning with disdain I've never seen anything I've wanted to sail Give unto me, a challenge hi ho. VII The parasite within me Drowned among the flak releasing my bravado the stunt of my attack The wanderer soon left me Alone, the sunken plume widower of a mountain so sullen and so soon I've never seen anything I've wanted to sail Give unto me, a challenge VIII I dreamed of a mountain High above the sea the guardian of beauty custodian of free Take me home, I'm weary Sentinel of sea. The danger of a journey oh sea, the sea, I see. I've never seen anything I've wanted to sail Give unto me, a challenge hi ho.

Charade
The band still played Through the interval Candle lit but the room was still While two men dealt amongst the chill Charade... The stakes were high but the danger low Without a friend these risks would grow This the night their eyes would glow Charade... The band played on like a dazzling flame Another card for the burning game Selling solitude to ease the blame Charade... Then the time came to run or choose Either way one would fail and lose Gamble a partner and dim the fuse Charade...

Charles
Charles got a job in a factory Drilling sheet metal from six till three Worked extra hours for a better wage Got lost in his task quite needlessly I noticed his brain was a plastic box His work rate improved 'cause he couldn't stop He couldn't eat lunch with those metal hands His legs were supports for new inner glands Next when I saw him his face was gone A stainless steel spine now instead of bone His arms became grafted onto the switch Six months without food made it quite a trip Scared to Dance (1990) 2:48 Dunfermline (1987) 2:43 Sweet Suburbia - The Best of the Skids (1995) 2:43 The Greatest Hits of Big Country and the Skids - The Best of STuart Adamson (2002) 2:45 The Very Best of the Skids (2003) 2:45 The Saints Are Coming: The Best of The Skids (2007) 2:47 Masquerade Masquerade: The Skids Live (2007) 2:22 Lyrics and music: Stuart Adamson His wife soon returned from her open grief She told his employer she had kids to keep They gave her the scrap price of his machine Last weekend Charles became obsolete.

The Children Saw the Shame

The master held on edge And dogs are held at bay The climax on its verge As mother's taken away The master looks for land And preachers meet in fire The master meets his land And mother meets her choir Oh tragedian, tragedian of my shame But the children saw the shame But the children saw the shame The master cried aloud The children can go home The change is in the crowd Our embassy is thrown The master cried in shame As mother joins her choir The preachers all aflame As mothers in the fire Oh tragedian, tragedian of my shame Forward go the children Playground full of sadness Forward go the children Mother knew the answer Forward go the children Tragedian of my shame But the children saw the shame But the children saw the shame

Dossier (Of Fallability)

1. I never said never I only said can't Move over move over It's unjustified romance No more affair It went on too long No more communication Time I was gone Put down receiver. Time I was gone. Move over move over Time I was gone. The blood lay spilled on the receiving end The wrists were cut unseen to all The blood lay spilled an ancient blend The wrists were cut during this call. 2. You are such a martyr You leave such a taste You are a disciple You are such a waste No more intimacy Only footage news Rejection of religion Cascaded with blame No stricken conscience Attendance at the ashes Sorry for the family See you at your grave A situation built round this plight I no longer seem to require my greed All these ambitions severed in flight Just realised love's more than a need 3 Inside and outside Caught in between The method that killed you Was mine it would seem A situation built round this plight I no longer require my greed All these ambitions are severed in flight. I've just realised love's a need Should I endeavour to reset the wire To reset the wire of life This mental torment with nowhere to rehire Please let my Dossier-grind-shoot-and HALT The blood lay spilled on the receiving end The wrists were cut unseen to all All these ambitions are severed in flight And I've just realised love's more than a need.

Dulce et Decorum est (Pro Patria Mori)

Dissipated tears from the soldier He felt his world break, into a smoulder Disgusted jeers come from battalions He sought out refuge from new companions Overground cheers seek the answers The Heralds waiting, insert the dancers But all around the ballet sheltered The soldier listened as dancers faltered These children bore no malice Please God serve me the chalice This ash around me thickens Oh why does no one listen Days in Europa (2001) 4:07 Masquerade Masquerade: The Skids Live (2007) 5:37 (medley with Grey Parade) Lyrics and Music: Richard Jobson & Stuart Adamson "Dulce et decorum est My childlike dream is marching west Dulce et decorum est For my soul I`ve failed the test Dulce et decorum est Come our Johnny join the rest" Heroic realms come from the martyr He felt his world cry into a banter But as the danger fell behind him He felt young soldiers marching past him These visions bear no meaning I must stand back and leave them Please never say you`re inside I need your world to confide Dulce et decorum est My childlike dream is marching west Dulce et decorum est For my soul I`ve failed the test Dulce et decorum est Come our Johnny join the rest

Home of the Saved

City grey walled in the distance Dusty roads white from the sun Doctors disease has to live here Nursing the sons One who can stray from the shepherds Heralds an outbreak of gloom Lost from relations unheard of Show us the tombs Home for the lonely, home for the new born Home for the plague, unclean Please for salvation and mercy Burn on bureaucracy`s pen Figure lay waste to the saviours Blinded again Virus becomes epidemic Throats grip with panic and fear No flight from quarantine stations Dying is here Home for the lonely, home for the aged Home for the plague, unclean Lookouts lie bare on the ramparts Cinemas boarded and closed Immunized peace rests uneasy Dying is done Home for the lonely, home for the new born home for the plague Home for the lonely, home for the aged home for the plague Home of the fetish, home of the hatred, home of the saved

Hope and Glory

1 The essence of outlandish dreams Is the wake, and the daylight Is the sweats of nighttime screams Surrounded by crystal veils In this position, it seldom fails I have hope and glory Redeeming my life story I have hope and glory Dissolving all of my worry 2 The emotion of paper words Is the lost, and the love Raucous writers seem lost for words Failing this the authors dream Transcend all else, the poetic scheme I have hope and glory Redeeming my life story I have hope and glory Dissolving all of my worry 3 The blemish of the failing rise Is the sustain, and the fear Reject advice to accept the cries When all of this is gone This a time, not for forlorn. The man on the dolphin's side Shine, silver diamond Escape, prospectors, mine Collect, enhance your children Cherish, stalemate black on white Shine, silver stallion Prepare, the final ride Victory, victory over victory The man, the man on the dolphin's side Chorus

Iona
Oh Iona, winds are blowing Shall I see you home again Oh Iona, I remember Days of beauty, days of pain I believe you I am with you To a promise I will keep No lamenting joy is waiting I shall see you as I sleep Oh Iona though divided All my passion I will save Oh Iona undecided Stands by waiting, as I pray Oer the distance, now between us Sailing homeward on stormy sea Speed my message of devotion Born in flame, forged in steel Oh Iona, how I miss you Oh my soul cries out for thee Oh Iona, Oh Iona,Oh Iona, stand by me

Melancholy Soldiers
Who fed you to the lions When hanging from a tree It's a case of melancholy There's no tourists at the sea Twelve saw decaying monuments While marching on attack Eleven watched a single Thus continued on the march Oh, oh Pin point toward horizon Convalescent to the last A moment lost of imagery The last word to the cast Won't you listen to the danger I can't listen any more Oh, oh. This...oh, oh oh! This...oh, oh oh! This...to march along This...on undwelt seed This...is a panorama This...is a soldier's creed. From this came a stranger All the marching seemed to halt From this came a moment Then the march led to assault The dwellers took position While commanding genocide The enemy were helpless And there's lots more besides Oh, oh This...to march along This...on undwelt seed This...is a panorama This...is a soldier's creed. This...oh, oh oh This...oh, oh oh

A Memory
So long now It seems as though it passed me by And never thought to say to me Will you no, come back again So long now, A memory of promises Look and say quite distantly Will you no, come back again So long So long now The loneliness of honesty Exposed and cost indifferently Will you no, come back again So long now, The last remain of faithfulness So long now Will you no, come back again So long So long now It seemed as though it's passed me by So long now A memory of promises So long now I change again so easily So long now The loneliness of honesty Called and said goodbye to me, so long now, Will you no, come back again.

Night and Day

The city lights are dying, Two burning suns cruise west, Stomachs taught, With the smack of wine Left behind the streets of sweat, Bled a thousand times Living in the alleys of grime, Kids made of steel Who never give, Muscle and blood To stay alive An encounter on the highway, A woman in an injured machine Several numbers, One wave thought To steal some fun in a single shot, The screams lost in the distance No city tears were shed, The Boss-man sheriff So far away, As the car pulled off and The night turned day...... and CONTUSION... There's blood on the road, Car on the motorway Screaming machine, Passed by the Red Cross of Agony, Or victory or Ecstacy There's blood on the street, Man in the subway, Human remain, Passed by the Red Cross of Agony, Or victory or Ecstacy There's blood in the war, Passage of history, Only a memory Passed by the Red Cross of Agony, Or victory or Ecstacy There's blood in your brain, Clot travelling slowly, Held by a vice, Passed by the Red Cross of Agony, Or victory or Ecstacy There's blood in the sea, Float so smoothly, Never to blend Passed by the Red Cross of Agony, Or victory or Ecstacy In a reasonable way the blood gained transfusion But nothing could block, no nothing could close, These cells of confusion

A Woman in Winter
The sailor shot the dice straight through As woman cried with birth And doctors ran from town to town Resolving every myth The ones who stayed afire in ice Cried in winds of change But winter it just fell some more And nothing felt so strange (Oh, oh, oh, oh) The camps and fires lay empty there Children had flown home The ones who crossed still were there As wind re-read each moan The birthday boys cried out for sun But no sons reappeared But winter it just fell some more Just as they had feared (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I saw this lonely boy In this other world With a marble girl In another face In another world (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Somewhere said she waits for me It ran out from my mind So I sat and watched the winter fall Pretending to be blind I watched you darken Kipling's lights You saw me by his thrown But winter it just fell some more And I was still alone (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I saw this lonely boy. In this other world With a marble girl. In another face. In another world. I saw this lonely boy. With a marble girl. In another face. In another world. (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Is anybody looking for a woman in winter Is anybody looking for a woman in winter Is anybody looking for a woman in winter

Saw Vietnam as a partisan and wished I`d never been As I held the rope on through the scope I wish I`d never seen Where the air turned red as the bodies bled into a schoolboy`s dream But who were there could only stare into this wondrous scene Yankee, Yankee, Yankee, Yankee, to war head high, in call we cry. In Germany in the `45, my mind was on the altar Thought of God the Iron Rod and thought that needed shelter From `Tragen` pain and men insane and eyes that got much colder Saw a German son with a Yankee gun and a uniform much older Days in Europa (2001) 4:54 & 3:37 Dunfermline (1987) 3:39 Sweet Suburbia - The Best of the Skids (1995) 3:39 The Greatest Hits of Big Country and the Skids (2002) 3:39 The Very Best of the Skids (2003) 3:40 The Saints Are Coming: The Best of The Skids (2007) 3:39 (Single Version) Masquerade Masquerade: The Skids Live (2007) 5:05 Lyrics and music: Richard Jobson & Stuart Adamson Yankee, Yankee, Yankee, Yankee, to war head high, in call we cry.
Working for the Yankee Dollar Working for the Yankee Dollar Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero`s welcome For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion And all flags and Yankee mags which embroidered all the meaning In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation Yankee, Yankee, Yankee, Yankee, to war head high, in call we cry.
