Gabriel’s Kid Brother (E.Frencham) Golden unashamed a sweet refrain Indigo sighs a lullaby Folding Paper Cranes and aeroplanes and dragonflies that really fly You amuse and amaze confuse and faze bemuse and daze and dazzle and delight Never impatient for the lights to go green Opportunity is everything Keep time while the traffic sings Did you know? Gabriel’s got a kid brother Living in Clifton Hill Did you know? Gabriels got a kid brother and even if smiles could kill I’ll live forever Older than your years Unfazed by tears you let me cry ’til I feel fine Younger than your days little boy ways and soon I’m fine enough to fly I’m amused and amazed confused and fazed bemused and dazed and dazzled by the light Telling me gently ‘Let your dreams come true opportunity will shine anew Girl, I believe in you’ Did you know? Gabriel’s got a kid brother Living in Clifton Hill Did you know? Gabriels got a kid brother and even if smiles could kill I’ll live forever I’ll live forever (on the memory of your laughter that afternoon) and even if looks could drown I’ll jump off that pier at St Kilda And I’ll walk on water! Ella Bella Cinderella Soaring inside like a heavenly cello (Now I know Gabriel’s kid brother) singing the smile of a fella named Vella Angel in Melbourne town Ella Bella Cinderella Stepping in style with Gene Kelly’s umbrella Freed by the smile of a fella named Vella Angel in Melbourne town

Jericho (E.Frencham) Hello You can call me Jericho ‘cause I feel like a city forsaken by God and oh, if only I was Jericho I could wait for my Joshua I’m free But loneliness is heavy And the longer I wear it the less I can bear it You see, a seed of hope inside of me Says to wait for my Joshua Let go Everybody tells me so Don’t padlock your heart while you wait for some stranger but no, everyone needs love to grow so I’ll wait for my Joshua Hello You can call me Jericho ‘cause I feel like a city chosen by God and though these walls are strong like Jericho I will wait for my Joshua Say a prayer for my Joshua Just a word from my Joshua And the walls will come tumbling down

Room at the Table (E.Frencham) Driving my car, it’s such a lonely world stereo fights bravely to be heard above the roar Distortion becomes kind of friendly when it’s your only company Too much time to think in this lonely world of all the other dreams, you know you’ll never reach White lines devour all the strength inside But I feel a warm voice, whisper There’s enough room at the table There’s enough fruit on the tree and right around the corner a beautiful place for us to be There’s another stranger waiting to be a lifelong friend and a place at the table where we’ll be together in the end, (my friend) Hard to fight the cold in this lonely world I haven’t felt my fingers since half past three But colder is the fear inside maybe I’ll never be free from failures I relive in this lonely world Shame cuts me deeply and the wounds won’t heal Black night swallows my rear vision like the past I can’t change But there’s enough room at the table There’s another pathway to choose And if we care for one another there is no way that we can lose Don’t forget the stranger waiting to be a lifelong friend and a place at the table where we’ll be together in the end For I don’t want to be a slave to a stage Never to escape the twilight zone only live through the eyes of a crowd and then die every time I’m alone Always looking for the strength to stand tall When I’m getting too scared to try lest I fall But even if I fall There’s enough room at the table There’s enough fruit on the tree and right around the corner a beautiful place for us to be And though ahead there lies a struggle there’s a second wind to help us through So greet the world on your doorstep there’s so much hope for me and you And as I’m driving my car it’s not such a lonely world I’ve got myself a dream and it warms the empty seat and I can hear beyond the distortion there is a melody and it sounds so sweet

Make My Day (E.Frencham) We’ve been talking all night & it’s nearly daylight I think it’s getting quite clear Why we’re still sitting here But I’m feeling so shy Free-falling into your eyes I’m laughing much too loud Let’s get away from this crowd I’m reading you now like a brand new book Can’t get enough of you, I wanna closer look Hey boy brown eyes What do you say? Wanna kiss me? Go ahead & make my day Wound up like a spring Tight as a guitar string Move those lips closer please Why must you be such a tease You’ve cast your line & I’m hooked by the chin Have mercy now & throw me back or reel me in Stop sitting there like some ol’ statue by Michelangelo I’ve been trying all night just to catch you How much longer ‘til you let me know? Moving to a quieter place My fingers finding your face Not much more can I stand Just holding your hand I’m circling you now like a moth to a flame But I’m burning up I am tired of this game Wanna get a reaction but I don’t know how I know what I want & I want it right now Hey brown eyes What do you say? Wanna kiss me? What are you waiting for? Hey boy brown eyes Must I suffer this way? Now you better kiss me? No hesitating now Hey boy brown eyes If you want me to stay Kiss me & make my day!

Sleepless (E.Frencham) If I could ask God for just one thing As I lay here by your side Please can I have a silver comb To unravel this tangle of thoughts That crowd my mind & blur my vision Tease & trip my tired tongue & when I’ve freed each glistening strand You’ll listen & you’ll understand & maybe I will sleep tonight If I could ask you for just one thing As your fingers scorch my skin Please can you speak a silver sword to cut out this cancerous hope Carve the truth into my vision Let me bleed & sleep in dreamless peace Instead I watch my fortunes die Tossing turning tortured by the ease in which you sleep tonight Oh God please let me sleep

The Stronger the Tree (E.Frencham) You’re smiling at me brother Wish I had a smile for you My pockets all are empty I feel a little blue We’ve both played our guitars in bars Where no one listens to our song But I can hear you, brother and your friendship keeps me strong Me and my sisters never talk much of demons dwelling deep Lingering in bedrooms When he thought we were asleep And though my mother sent him packing By the time I turned eighteen I wondered if we’d ever make it right If we’d ever would feel clean But I’ll always remember what you said to me The stronger the wind The stronger the tree So I found myself a fire To melt the ice around this heart But he left to warm a lover far away and I almost fell apart Now I have to leave my refuge Just pay the bills Oh dreams slip through my fingers every day But I’ll keep on dreaming still For I’ll… Now we’re washin’ memories one by one In this tiny motel sink For life on the road my friend Is not as pretty as you’d think And I’m wondering my brother Will that kindred soul I seek Be listening at the bar to my guitar tonight or keep me waiting ‘til next week But I’ll…

Open Honest Heart (Steve Vella) Open honest heart Wiser some than me Thaw these frozen feet And trust come back Back from within fear Fear to belief Like sunlight reaches roots Only through Through the many leaves Time is left to wait and finds it’s oldest home In ebb & flow and many secrets shared Moon & sun become Paired and time now starts Starts but slow Open honest heart Will not be led astray Though dreaming takes it deep

Angels Wings (E.Frencham/S.P.Toombs) Trouble to me is like a river raging free It pours into my sea ‘til I am deep enough to drown I open my mouth and the words just waterfall Before I’ve thought them out at all But when I’m lost in the undertow Too weak to resist the flow Strong arms around That will not let me go Saved by the bell again Caught before I fell again With every step I know someone’s watching over me Never to far from a warm embrace to plant that smile back on my face and I can almost hear an angel’s wings Still I’ve found as I reach for dry ground These waves that pull me down grew from the ripples that I made Too hard to beat, guilt is chains around my feet I must retreat from what I see inside While alone I pretend to be the answer waits patiently When will I learn that I’m already free?

Happy Dream Has anybody seen my happy dream? It was right here in my pocket but I must have split the seam It took so long to weave it the stitches were so fine Rainbow renditions of a future I designed Now I've retraced the rocky ground between your heart and mine Not a single sign of where I left it behind Has anybody seen my happy dream for I’m all out of golden thread I’m all out of steam And I don’t want to live without the hope I wore so proudly the coat of many coloured songs that I had sung so loudly But now the words are empty a dream no longer mine Not a single sign of where I left it behind Leave me to grieve for my dream I don’t want your cold comfort I'm too tired to rage and scream Instead I’ll find some paper Bleed through this pen Rest ‘til I can face a dreamers needle once again Stitch by stitch my lesson learned I’ll weave a new design How that dream will shine and I’ll leave the past behind

Suitcase (E. Frencham) Standing quietly on your doorstep In a suitcase state of mind Rain is trickling through my hair But soon your face is glowing with warm sunshine I wonder if you’ll have me child of the North for 32 years I’ll fight back these fears & walk on through your door Melbourne dreams flow like streams & I am just a little boat making my way Melbourne my hands are yours to borrow if you’ll be my tomorrow I’m here to stay Movin’ to Melbourne today. Take a tram from Queens Parade oh To see that boy of mine Lazing long in conversation smile serenade & a jazz guitar entwine On the 86 to Fitzroy Happiest day in so many years It brings me to tears, feels like coming home Melbourne dreams flow like streams & I am just a little boat making my way Melbourne my hands are yours to borrow if you’ll be my tomorrow I’m here to stay Movin’ to Melbourne today. I know you're just another space to run a race I gotta get my shit together But there’s no other place on earth I ‘d rather be right now To sing a song & laugh about the weather Standing quietly on your doorstep In a suitcase state of mind

The Nerd Song (E.Frencham) My mum told me “Never fall in love with a musician, All long haired ego & obsessive ambition.” Daddy warned me those sailors Hardly ever come home Said “Girl, do you want to spend the rest of your life alone?” And there were songs to save me From drinkers & gambling men Who spend all your money again & again & again I tried to avoid all those dangerous guys My confidence grew as I opened my eyes I thought I’d choose well, I thought I was wise But the 21st century, Took me by surprise So absurd, I’m in love with a nerd But it hasn’t occurred to him that he needs me What good is a killer smile that he hasn’t seen? For he’s only got eyes for that computer screen Can someone help me please? I need some direction No mortal girl can compete with this new world of cyber perfection He don’t need a female just software & email The world at his feet without leaving his seat. I can’t get him to come to the movies or watch some band Where he can walk me home and maybe even hold my hand For he’s got Nintendo & DVD & all the music he wants on mp3 A high speed connection To give him…..satisfaction & a Pentium IV & he don’t need more There’s nowhere to turn & things are getting drastic I’m insanely jealous of a lump of beige plastic So absurd, I’m in love with a nerd But it hasn’t occurred to him that he needs me What good is a killer smile that he hasn’t seen? For he’s only got eyes for that infernal machine

Sweet Basil (E.Frencham) Your sweet basil left on my shelf full of fragrant memory when we tasted friendship a midnight meal and the music of a moonlit sea Your sweet basil cupped in my palm so I can slowly drink it in soothes my senses every nerve that grieves for the loss of your skin I can't look at the photos we took I can't listen to the songs we played But I think I'll sprinkle sweet basil on my lunch today King Cole on my stereo crooning lazy memory when we sang of friendship a song of steel in a storm-water drain by the sea King Cole melting velvet so warm like the voice you left in me fills my senses every word returns like a melody I can't look at the photos we took I can't listen to the songs we played But I think I'll sprinkle sweet basil on my lunch today Your sweet basil left on my shelf full of fragrant memory when we tasted friendship a midnight meal and the music of a moonlit sea Your sweet basil blessing me still Even though you've gone away Heals my senses Tasting tomorrow while swallowing yesterday

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (I.Watts/E.Miller) When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it Lord that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God All these vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to your blood. See, from your head, your hands, your feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did ever such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown. Were the whole realm of nature mine Would be an offering far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demand my soul, my life, my all.
