Sun beams from a movie scene
are sparkling in a blue stream
glistening like a mirrorball
underneath it all
sun beams make the water glow
and the fish have colours that explode
starring at me so curious
oh the prettiness
all the fishes in the sea
don't know what they mean to me
and I wonder if I'll ever want to go home
all the fishes seem to be swimming oh so free
I think I'm falling in love under the sea
I think I'm falling in love
Sun beams sink down low
to the coral that lies below
who knows how it got there in the past
or if its ever gonna last
sun beams drift on by
to the rhythm of the rippled sky
a school of you in the ocean blue
off Vanuatu
all the fishes in the sea
don't know what they mean to me
and I wonder if I'll ever want to go home
all the fishes seem to be swimming oh so free
I think I'm falling in love under the sea
I think I'm falling in love
Sun beams from a movie scene
are sparkling in a blue stream
glistening like a mirrorball
underneath it all

Food truck

I bought an old truck for 50 bucks
and a half drunk slab of corona
got it fixed up from a mate round the block
he said man I'm coming with ya
we got the things going and the beers were flowing
hanging out just me and my mate
we went down the street and we got a good spot
pulled up by the shade
in our food truck
me and my mate in a food truck
selling pancakes in a food truck
talking to beautiful woman
everything was doing fine
going surfing to pass the time
we got up early as the birds were chippy
and we noticed another van there
their was a man with a scare below his left eye
and long curly dark hair
we asked what he was doing he said
nothing really just roasting pumpkin and potatoes
we said are you selling them or something special
he said yeah look at my menu
oh shit he's got a menu
stealing our business with his menu
he's got fancy lights and a menu
he's talking to beautiful women
everything was doing fine
not really not this time
so we got up in the middle of the night
and we stole that fella's van
we drove it down south to the great city lights
to a quiet little town called melbourne
I was in the van my mate was in the other
we were racing and smiling at each other
we were selling pancakes just like before
but then my mate his name was richard
baked a potato
selling pancakes and potato
selling pumkin pacakes and potatos
talking to beautiful women
everything was doing fine
drinking coffee to pass the time

Hope in the car get ready to go
this could be the best day of your life
play the music you want i won't judge it too harshly
won't tell you if it's wrong or right
you can be free oh my daughter
be free oh my daughter
be free just my daughter and me
Up on the highway might stop for a sunday
or something nice to put in our guts
I won't ask questions you'll tell me what's happening
when you're feeling that the timings right
you can be free oh my daughter
be free oh my daughter
be free just my daughter and me
I know that things are a bit of a mess with your mother
it's something that I'm trying to address
I hope it doesn't bother you
now we're at my place got a look on my face
a content as anyone's could be
singing songs and getting along and
bonding casually
you can be free oh my daughter
be free oh my daughter
be free just my daughter and me

Van (big dreams)
03:59
|

there could be some criticism for that I'd expect
mostly from my parent and the guys that I work with
or they could be envious even think that I'm the man
if I ever start living in my van
could be a legend the guy that never pays rent
could be a weirdo with more dollars than cents
could be so confined I'd have to learn how to cram
I wonder if I could live in a van
big dreams big man big dreams
there's thousands of ideas on pinterest people post
of vans that look like cabin by the mountains or the coast
they make it look so homely with a customised plan
I wonder if i could live in a van
I know nothing about wood work I wouldn't know what to do
I'd have to buy a jigsaw a sander and a router too
I hope that I can do it without cutting off my hands
I wonder if I could live in a van
big dreams big man big dreams
I wouldn't need to garden or mow down and grass
the pictures on my wall would be the scenery I'd pass
and all of my neighbours will be my friends on the road
and my pets would be Cane Toads
oh don't you wanna feel that big old lump of steel
put your foot down to the floor grip your hands on the wheel
pull up by a coastline under a tausend moving stars
and lie there with that girl in your arms
big dreams big man big dreams
what if you get sad? well I'll pump my own tires
what if you get annoyed? well I'll sho out all the flies
so you can call me a hobo call me a loof
call me a flower child or say that I'm uncooth
you can call me crazy for what I wanna do
but I wanna start living in my van
call me a beatnik or a subterrainian bum
call me a dropout or a lame bohemian
I'll call you from a lonely telephone booth
and say I've got
4 wheels and the truth
big dreams big man big dreams

Turtle

Hello my story is not a good one
run away now if you have the time
it's a story of a sad departure
a story of a friend of mine
yeah
well it all happen when I was at my house
and the phone did ring
and a scary voice came down the line
and I said to my turtle don't you worry about a thing
but the government took my turtle
took my friend away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day
now do you know anything about jail?
cause I think thats where I am now
hanging out with my cell mate dale
and he's laying on a bed wearing nothing but a towell
yeah
then later that evening I realised that noone was wearing belts
and later that evening I realised the food was really bad
and later that evening I realised a shot load of nurses
and later that evening I started say why why
but the government took my turtle
took my friend away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day
now the nurse gave me an injection
and I was feeling kinda sleepy
my head felt like a box of jelly beans
.. yum yuum yum yum yum.
then I realised, then I realised.
my turtle was a crack pipe (times by heaps)
The government took my turtle
took my crack pipe away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day
baah baah bah dumm
