I’ve got a hollow inside my stomach
That I can’t seem to fill
With all the things
That I believe
I fill it with mead and I fill it with bread
And I fill it with drink on a
Saturday evening
Till Sunday morning
But I’m still hungry
For something to fill me
Ah, make me whole again
So I won’t be hungry anymore
Anymore
My own neighbour knew wood and skin
He was good with his hands
Always heavy with drinking
My own neighbour
My own neighbour’s wife came home
In the early morning
She grabbed the little girl and
She took off in the half-light
To the Best Western
Now he’s looking for
Something to feel this time
True, give his heaviness
Something involved, oh
Feel this time
True, give his heaviness
Something involved, oh
But if you’re
If you’re coming back
To me lonely
But if you’re coming home
Cold and hungry
I’m gonna die
You’re needing for
You, for my baby
For your whole life
For my lovely
For your fingers, oh
Thanks Steve G and oldfriends for figuring these out.
Wake me in the morning
Gon’ wake me up at night
Ain’t got no use for sleeping anymore
Ain’t got enough time
For myself
Or time for my friends
And, and I can’t even write
Just wake me up, it’s fine
Let me go away, Hitch
Away from where we’ve grown
I’ve got dirty and did wandering
Through bars and
Foreign family homes
And I had never have cared
To be alone
Now I just wanna feel
How you would feel
Left at home
Hey Hitch, hey Hitch
I’m coming home
Hey Ma, hey Pa
I’m coming home
Hey J, hey Tree, hey Mel and Graeme*
I’m coming come
Hey Heath, hey Kris
I’m coming home
Well I seen many places
And they all been seen before
I done lost my Jack Luck spirit
I’m goin’ back to Hitch at home
*names of family members: Jared, Katrina, Mel, Graeme, Heath and Kristen.
Green-eyed looker, it always pains me to see
Hollowed out picture of skin and bone
The strangest stranger that I ever did meet
Oh and I guess I ain’t that old
She came on strong with her own confidence
Made you sweat in your cotton, though it’ll breathe (?)
The cruelest behaviour ain’t born or mined (?)
Feel her shell should just go and down the wine (?)
It’s deep water, driving rain
And all I can remember is a cold
Another burned out lover who was begging to leave
She said “why wouldn’t you tie your soul to me?”
Took all I had in my waiting cell (?)
And a little of what I just don’t know
But I got my thinking up to where I fell
And I let the memories of my lovers die
It’s a bitter taste and a, a blinding light
Time fade burns, most would know
Took the hand of the, the woman I love
Now I am sure I’m gonna make her my own
It’s the deep water, the driving rain
I’m making a shelter of my own
When Jesus comes he’s gonna eat with me
And he’s gonna find our children old
Got a road all laid out and trenched
And mined enough for a walking pace (?)
It seems so different from where I’ve come
Oh Lord I’d love to see that, that place again
With its deep water, mountain range
Full of those hard living kind
Petrol stations and a copper mine
The kind of place I think I could die
I’ll try not to bore you with this type of thing too often but I thought it was interesting that ‘land of the bloody unknown lyrics’ is now the top search query for this site. (The list shows what people type into google to get to pages on this site).
There were letters unopened at the foot of my bed
When I woke up with you in the morn
There were lions roaring on ships in the harbour
The night my true love was born
There’s a minstrel singing of the holy dove
On the mountain of old St Jerome
There is glass on the floor of the hallway I walk
When the stars bear down from their throne
And the old southern cross is shown
And it points down the sad road home
To the land of the bloody unknown
I heard that your mother took off in the fall
With her pretty curls and her wooden spoon
I heard you whispering to yourself last night
She’ll be coming home some day soon
Well the wine you drink is stained deep in your shirt
And just like the sin in my soul
It is never ever ever ever coming out
While the stars bear down from their throne
And the old southern cross is shown
And it points down the sad road home
To the land of the hunter dancing under the trigger
And the bride washing up on the shore
I could never really dance that well
I can’t raise the flags or ring them bells
But I can shoot my gun down the line towards my home
To the land of the bloody unknown
There’s a black dog watching over me in my sleep
And I stir just to toss him the bone
There’s a red moon rising on the hills tonight
Where the stars bear down from their throne
And the old southern cross is shown
And it points down the sad road home
Jesus came to my birthday party
When I was seventeen
I thought it was a dream
But I know I seen him standing there
With his long hair
I know I seen him there
That was a long time ago
And I haven’t seen him in a while
Now I’m down in the city
And I think I seen him in the eyes
Of the strangers that pass
In the eyes of the poor
Jesus came to my birthday party
When I was seventeen
It was a long time ago
Jesus came to my birthday party
When I was seventeen
It was a long time ago
Jesus came to my birthday party
I thought it was a dream
But I know I seen him there
the trees are burnt
the grass is brown
the sky turns red
when the sun goes down
for all the tears
in God’s green earth
we haven’t cracked
in this old town
’cause we’re holding on to youth
and we’re stubborn to the tooth
the smell of dread
and burning heads
is a sure sign
that you’re in town
and we’re holding on to youth
and we’re stubborn with the truth
here on the shores of the sea comes the end
here on the floor on our knees comes the end
here on the shoulders of these comes the end
here when you replace me comes the end
comes the end
here on the shores of the sea comes the end
here on the floor on our knees comes the end
here on the shoulders of these comes the end
here when you replace me comes the end
comes the end
comes the end
