Just a perfect day
     Drink sangria in the park
     And then later, when it gets dark, we'll go home
     Just a perfect day
     Feed animals in the zoo
     Then later a movie too, and then home

     Oh it's such a perfect day
     I'm glad I spent it with you
     Oh such a perfect day
     You just keep me hanging on
     You just keep me hanging on

     Just a perfect day
     Problems all left alone
     Weekenders on our own
     It's such fun

     Just a perfect day
     You make me forget myself
     I thought I was someone else
     Someone good

     Oh it's such a perfect day
     I'm glad I spent it with you
     Oh such a perfect day
     You just keep me hanging on
     You just keep me hanging on

     You're going to reap just what you sow
     You're going to reap just what you sow

     Oh it's such a perfect day
     I'm glad I spent it with you
     Oh such a perfect day
     You just keep me hanging on
     You just keep me hanging on

And the land is dark

Well I wont be afraid

Just as long as you stand,
Stand By Me

Oh my darlin Stand by me
Will you stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Make You My Lady

      If you've ever been lonely
      Then you'll understand
      Why I treasure every smile that you show me
      And every touch of your hand

      I've been waiting a long time
      For a girl like you
      Oh and maybe this could be the right time
      For all my dreams to come true

      Chorus:
      I want to make you my lady, make you my lady
      Love is so hard to find, girl
      I want to make you my lady, take you my lady
      Then you'll be forever mine, girl.

      Do you think I'm pretending
      Do you think I'd lie
      Lady, our love could be never ending
      If you'll give it a try

      Gonna fly high over a rainbow
      Gonna find a heaven on earth we can share
      Paradise is not far away
      Just show me you care, and I'll take you there

      Chorus x 3.

Looking from a window above, it's a story of love
Can you hear me
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away
Want you near me
 
Chorus:
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all i ever knew
Only you
 
This is going to take a long time and i wonder what's mine
I can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

Chorus x2
 
Only you can turn the world on with your smile
Only you can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile
Well it's you girl and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around no need to waste it
You can never tell why don't you taste it
You're gonna make it after all
 
Chorus X2
 
Your're gonna make it after all (only you) X5
 
You're gonna make it after all

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves

I was born in the wagon of a traveling show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good

Chorus:
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town, they'd call us
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Picked up a boy this side of Mobile
Gave him a ride, fed him with a hot meal
I was 16, he was 21
Drove with us to Memphis
And Papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done

Chorus

Never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth Southern style
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while
I haven't seen him for a while

She was born in the wagon of a traveling show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good

Chorus X3
 

From the club the boys file out
Into the autumn air
Some rev cars, some clutch beers
Some just teeter on the stairs

From a park I watch a fight
The same two guys that fought last night
Then I think of you
My dear Virginia

I park the car up by the school
Creep in past your swimming pool
Down the path your father made
I’ll wake you with my serenade

You will think I’m crazy
And you’ll love me again, Virginia

I crawl along your flower box
I tap upon your window pane
I whisper "I love you"
And gently I say my name
And then I sing my alcohol serenade

Do you still have the stars in your eyes
Do you still wear my leather ring
Do you still sing our favourite song
I say your first name whenever I can

From up above a head pops out
A face I do not recognise
A voice yells down "What’s going on?"
I’m serenading Virginia
The voice yells back "That family’s moved
There is no Virginia in that room"

Do you still have the stars in your eyes
Do you still wear my leather ring
Do you still sing our favourite song
I say your first name whenever I can

From the club the boys file out
Into the autumn air
Some rev cars, some clutch beers
Some just teeter on the stairs

From a park I watch a fight
The same two guys that fought last night
The I think of you
My dear Virginia
My dear Virginia
My dear Virginia

Butterfly     

From the mountains to the sea
Stretching out in front of and I
The morning sun has warmed our bones
And now it’s time for you to fly
Sweet butterfly

Oh my Butterfly

You travel madly through the day
Trying anything that gets in your way
But some hath glideth by your eyes
We never thought that you would fly
Sweet Butterfly

Oh my Butterfly

The rain has fallen down On the place
Where you lay
The pieces twist and fall
But not all

We might have noticed from your face
Some little clue of what was taking place
In spite of all I thought that I
Would never have to see you die
Sweet Butterfly

Oh my Butterfly

Your shadow wheels across the land
Down below
Quietly we stand and watch
As you go

That Butterfly

Oh my butterfly  (Oh my butterfly)

Sweet sweet Butterfly  (Oh my Butterfly)

Oh my Butterfly   (Oh my Butterfly)
I never thought I
Would ever have to see you die   (Oh my Butterfly)
My Butterfly
Oh my Butterfly
Oh my Butterfly
Oh my Butterfly
Oh my Butterfly

*Thank you to Shelley for the lyrics to Butterfly and Virginia Serenade.

Opus of Peace

To mend the heart of a broken world,
For those who fly too high and fear the fall.
For every man, woman and child,
I sing this opus of peace.

For nights alone without a friend,
To the darkness that has end.
For those lost within demented souls,
We sing this opus of peace.

This is our peace opus,
Such a shame that it should come to this.
Join hands and sing along with us,
Sing our opus of peace.
This is our peace opus, this is our peace opus,
This is our peace opus, this is our peace opus.

For those with hearts afraid to love,
For all those whose minds have gone.
For those who've turned their backs on God,
We sing this opus of peace.

For the tiny fights in every home,
For the pain that comes again and again.
For the wars which have no end,
We sing this opus of peace.

This is our peace o' piss, this is our peace of piss,
This is our piece of piss, this is our piece of piss!

Repeat Verse 1

This is our peace opus,
Such a shame that it should come to this.
Join hands and sing along with us,
Sing this opus of peace (sing along!).
 
This is our peace o' piss, this is our peace of piss,
This is our piece of piss, this is our piece of piss! (Everybody now!)

This is our peace o' piss, this is our peace of piss,
This is our piece of piss, this is our piece of piss!
 

Can't Take My Eyes Off You

You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And i thank god i'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you

I love you baby, and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to end my lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank god I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my thighs off you  :)

I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you, stay
Oh pretty baby, Trust in me when I say
 

I was caught by your smile under a blushing moon,
You were the only one left there.
Words poured like wine over an open wound,
You were the only one left there.
With sky-borne blue-grey eyes
Sky-borne blue-grey eyes

Pale light falls over a broken bed,
You were the only one left there.
Cold hands in mine, lips bruised and black,
You were the only one left there.
With sky-borne blue-grey eyes
Sky-borne  blue grey eys

Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now
I have been patient my patience is gone
Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now
All of my vision has blurred into one
Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me now.

The cool of the night fell on us like a ghost,
You were the only one left there.
I wept as a child, wept for the life I'd lost,
You were the only one left there.
With sky-borne blue-grey eyes
Sky-borne blue-grey eyes
(Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me)
Sky-borne blue-grey eyes
(Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me)
Sky borne blue-grey eyes.

Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now
I have been patient my patience is gone
Shut up and kiss me now, kiss me now, kiss me now
All of my vision has blurred into one
Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me
Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me
Just Shut up, just shut up, just shut up and kiss me now.
 
 

He Will Provide

My mother told me
He will provide
As tears of joy filled her eyes
She said "if you remain poor in spirit,
You'll remain poor all your life
Only the Saviour can save you
Trust in Him."

Did he raise Lazarus from the dead
Made the blind man see again
Then he'll save you too in times of woe
Like he saved Daniel from the lions den

Chorus 1:
He Will Provide
He Will Provide
Boats, cars, aeroplanes, even diamond rings
He Will Provide
He Will Provide
The Lord God will provide

*something wendy sings I don't know!*
Is he vengeful don't you know
He'll burn you too in fires of Hell
Like he destroyed the walls of Jericho
 

Chorus 2:
He Will Provide (He will provide)
He Will Provide (He will provide)
Pay your bills, buy your pills, furnish hard core drugs
He Will Provide (He will provide)
He Will Provide (He will provide)
I said the Lord God will provide

All right bring it down now,
bring it down bring it down
let me hear you bring it down!
I'm going to strike you in the name of the Spirit Ladies and Gentleman
I want to let the spirit enter you.

Did he cure the sick and the lame
(Go down now!)
And cancer of the brain,
Well then he is the pill to cure your ills
Like he saved Abel from his brother Cain
(which didn't really happen of course coz Abel died)

Did he save Noah and the Ark
Protect Moses and *something!*
You're never alone
He's as close as the phone
If you want it all
You just have to ask

What do you want?
HG: a fart free baked bean!
What do you want?
Sandy: energy for the tired.
What do you want?
Flacco: nothing for me I'm fine thanks

He Will Provide
(take it away sister Paul)

He Will Provide (He will provide)
He Will Provide (alcohol and pure drugs!)
He Will Provide (food for all)
He Will Provide (tax reform without a GST!)
He Will Provide (free cinema passes for pensioners!)
He Will Provide (Angel hair powder!)
He Will Provide (shares in Telstra, BHP, AMP)

Happiness

(Ok it's not from GNWeekend but I've had requests to put the lyrics up so here they are)

You're what happens when models marry
You're the kind of angel they produce
Pale creature more sad than savage
Heaven knows you're fireproof

In an apartment with a dirty mirror
You can still kiss you face goodbye

I want you
I need you
I want your skin upon my skin
I want to
Possess you
I want to know where the hell you've been

You're what happens when models marry
You're the sort of victim they let loose
Sitting on your own it's tragic
That no one knows the awful truth

Your scheming little junkie friends all tell you
That sort of beauty is a crime

I want you
I need you
I want you confused and unable to stop
I want to
Possess you
I want to know what the hell you want
I want you
I need you
I want your happiness and scars
I want to
Oppress you
I want to know who the hell you think you are
