"Can you wait? My plane will be arriving shortly. Right there at the gate. I pray that you'll be waiting right there for me.This time could be what We've both been searching for. Our whole lives waking up And coming back for more."

"Some people like to deceive you, While others may feel that they need you. While I do the best that I can, Keeping my life in my hands."

"We could break every rule Anytime we wanted to. Don't be afraid to live this way; Let's defend the things we say.I want to be up in the air; I could be anywhere. Tell me I'm wrong, at least till tomorrow. Set me free and I will follow."

"We're like crystal, we break easy. I'm a poor man, if you leave me. I'm applauded, then forgotten. It was summer, now it's autumn."

"I don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary. You'll never guess the things that I do. I'll have the devil round for tea. Don't you know that I'm here beside you? Can't you see that I can't relax? When I saw you in my rearview, You could've stopped me in my tracks.I'll be there for you when you want me to. I'll stand by your side like I always do. In the dead of night it'll be alright. 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to."

"This can't be real. My heart is burning. How does it feel? Well let's say I'm learning; It had to come. The ship has landed, It's time to run. The crew are stranded.We're having the time of our lives, We're lost in a cruel paradise."

"What does this ship bring to me? Far across the restless sea, Waiting for the sirens' call. I've never seen it here before.There she plies the lonely trail, Getting through the breaking winds. Drifting slowly from the coast, She is lost forever more."

"Some people get up at the break of day, Gotta go to work before it gets too late. Sitting in a car and driving down the road, It ain't the way it has to be.But that's what you do to earn your daily wage. That's the kind of world that we're living in today. Isn't where you wanna be; And isn't what you wanna do."

"This is why events unnerve me. They find it all, a different story. Notice for whom wheels are turning, Turn again and turn towards this time. All she ask's the strength to hold me. Then again the same old story. World will travel, oh so quickly Travel first and lean towards this time."

"There is no end to this. I have seen your face, But I don't recognize all these things You must have left behind. It's a problem, you know That's been there all your life. I try to make you see the world without a view That just turns black and white. At night it gets cold and You'd dearly like to turn away. The escape that fills that makes you want to turn on heel Alone, alone, alone, alone."

"Help me, somebody help me. I wonder where I am. I see my future before me, I'll hurt you when I can."

"Heaven, a gateway, a hope Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke. And though it hurts me to treat you this way, Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say. Up, down, turn around, Please don't let me hit the ground. Tonight I think I'll walk alone. I'll find my soul as I go home."

"No, I've never met anyone quite like you before Bolts from above hurt the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go"

"You just can't believe me When I show you what you mean to me. You just can't believe me When I show you what you cannot see.You're hiding from feelings, searching for more, Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long. Our lives still change from the way that we were And now I'll tell you something I think you should know."

"I've watched your face for a long time; It's always the same. I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles. You were always so vain. Well, now you live your life like a shadow In the pouring rain."

"That's the way, Shellshock. Hold on! It's never enough. It's never enough until your heart stops beating. The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain. Don't give up the game until your heart stops beating."

"You can walk, or you can run. You don't have to be someone. I went on a summer cruise Upon an ocean born to lose. My brother said that he was dead. I saw his face and shook my head. Can you see where we can't be? We're losing our blood in the sea.Cause it's the state of the nation That's holding our salvation. Yes, it's the state of the nation That's holding our salvation. Oh, the state of the nation Is causing deprivation. Oh, the state of the nation Is causing deprivation."

"I feel so extraordinary; Something's got a hold on me. I get this feeling I'm in motion, A sudden sense of liberty. I don't care 'cause I'm not there. And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow. Again and again I've taken too much Of the things that cost you too much."

"He told me to close my eyes. My gift would be a great surprise. I saw tears were in his eyes. He never meant to hurt me. Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me. There's so many ways our lives have changed. But please, I beg, don't do this to me. Johnny, don't point that gun at me. Can I save my life at any price?. For God's sake won't you listen to me?"

"I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face I couldn't look at you I guess you knew it, but I never realised that we were through. And now I'm down here all alone With every feeling that I own. You can't take that away. And with every breath we take, And the illusions we create Will come to you someday."

"Express yourself; Its one on one. Express yourself; Its one on one. Express yourself; You can't be wrong. When something's good Its never gone."

"Who is this man That follows me? This blue eyed boy Who wants to beThis worthy cause Of human kind, This pawn set up by time."

"My promise could be your friend, A given end to your dreams. A simple movement or rhyme Could be the smallest of signs. We'll never know what they are or care. In it's escapable view, There's no escape so few in fear Give in a changing value."

"Those steps which seem to take a lifetime, When eyes just turn and stare. The day begins, collapsing without warning, You fade from sight, there's nothing there.No hope allowed, calls are answered daily. Questions are on your side. Deeply moved, beyond all consolation, You felt the pulse, now hear the cry.In my mind, thoughts are becoming clearer. I'm watching every move you make, Counting time spent in observation. A single blow, a false mistake."

"Won't you please let me go? These words lie inside, they hurt me so. And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what I want to do. I'm not the kind that needs to tell you Just what you want me to."

"How does it feel To treat me like you do? When you've laid your hands upon me, And told me who you are.I thought I was mistaken. I thought I heard your words. Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how do I feel?"

"I see a ship in the harbor. I can and shall obey. But if it wasn't for your misfortunes, I'd be a heavenly person today.And I thought I was mistaken. And I thought I heard you speak. Tell me how do I feel? Tell me now, how should I feel?"

"Oh I've just come From the land of the sun, From a war that must be won In the name of truth. With our soldiers so brave Your freedom we will save With our rifles and grenades And some help from God. I want to see my family, My wife and child waiting for me. I've got to go home, I've been so alone, you see."

"I stood there beside myself Thinking hard about the weather. Then came by a friend of mine, Suggested we go out together. Then I knew it from the start, This friend of mine would fall apart. Pretending not to see his gun, I said let's go out and have some fun."

"I like walking in the park When it gets late at night. I move round in the dark And leave when it gets light. I sit around by day, Tied up in chains so tight. These crazy words of mine, So wrong they could be right."

"Every time I think of you, I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue. It's no problem of mine, But it's a problem I find Living a life that I can't leave behind. But there's no sense in telling me; The wisdom of the fool won't set you free. But that's the way that it goes. And it's what nobody knows. Well every day my confusion grows.Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray. I'm waiting for that final moment; You say the words that I can't say."

"I just can't help thinking what you've done to me. You built a wall of love and tore it right down in front of me. And you think you know what's going on. You keep telling me that I am wrong. I don't care about what you do, Cause if you mess with me, I'll get rid of you. The picture you see is no portrait of me. It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know. And it's driving me wild; It makes me act like a child."

"Answer me, why won't you answer me? I can't recall the day that I last heard from you. Well you don't get a town like this for nothing. So here's what you've got to do. You work your way to the top of the world, Then you break your life in two. Well what's the use in complaining When you've got what you don't need? Anyone would think you were hardened too. What do you want me to believe?"

"Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address Of everyone I've ever known. It's nothing I regret. Save it for another day. It's the school exam and the kids have run away.I would like a place I could call my own. Have a conversation on the telephone. Wake up every day that would be a start. I would not complain of my wounded heart."

"I turn sideways to the sun, Keep my thoughts from everyone. It's a jungle, I'm a freak; Hear me talk, but never speak.So I'm stepping out of time Because breaking is a crime. And it may all be too late But I've no passion for this hate."

"Hardwired into everyone's head is the person they're gonna be. Growing up's not a matter of choice, it's a matter of wait and see."

"I'm on the drug! I'm on the drug! I'm on the drug that killed !"

"Ron Hitler-Barassi: They've talked about the death of the novel and they've talked about the fact that art in Australia is spiralling downward and I think TISM on Review is confirming that fact. You know, like, for 10 years, Review viewers, we've been slagging you lot off. I know you're expecting some pencil-neck geek with short cropped blonde hair and a black polo necked sweater and drinking his latté talking about some crappy artist that's getting my taxes for years and years and here you have TISM the sort of artists for people who aren't creative, you know. We're from the solidly middle class. We're the artists for people who went to government schools, you know. So I'd like all you Review listeners to put down your latté's and turn up your home stereos and your 48 inch colour TV and get a taste of real life instead of sitting back on your black spotty behind, taking my taxes and thinking you're so creative. Don't you agree, Humphrey?"

"Humphrey B. Flaubert: Oh, I agree with everything you said, except for every third word."

"Humphrey B. Flaubert: I would like to say, to all the people of Australia: "Kick me - I'm different.""

"Humphrey B. Flaubert: I’m certainly always proud of everything we do. It’s sort of like when I’m proud of my poo. I look down on it and think "that’s well-formed, that means I’m healthy."

"The rich kid becomes a junkie, The poor kid, an advertiser. What a tragic waste of potential. Being a junkie's not so good either."
