He's movin' all his stock, to that bare paddock
The fire's comin' through and it's comin' fast
With 1600 sheep and 200 cattle
When it comes to givin up he'd be the last

And the old brigade came by with the bad news
The big burn's on it's way and we need your help
So he kissed his wife goodbye and said I love you
And he left his stock to fend for themselves
It's just how it goes

And he's stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And he's still circlin

A windshift turned the fire past his homestead
And he was faced with putin' down his injured stock
Across the smokey flat all lame and breathless
His collie cirled round the frightened mob
He's doin' his job

And he's stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And he's still circlin

Through drought and flood and fire
Through hardship and good time
I'll raise my glass to every man and dog
If you look you'll always find


They're stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And they'll keep the mob together while they're workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And they're still circlin

Still circlin'

My jeans are ripped, my boots are dry and muddy
You can tell that I drink beer and not champagne
I'm the kind of girl who likes to keep things simple
I've never longed for fortune of fame

My best friend is my dog, not a diamond
Diamonds don't snuggle up to you when you cry
And I don't like the thought, of being bought
A girl in love is something you can't buy

Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you

So cancel those dinner reservations
Instead let's take the dogs down to the creek
We'll pack a picnic lunch, we'll lie there in the sun
What a perfect way to end a working week

Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you

A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you

All I need is a rain drop from you
All I need is a rain drop from you

Verse I

All we have for now,
Is not enough somehow.
We will get the chance,
And fin'ly have that dance.

Lonliness hurts so bad.

Cottage by the sea,
Just for you an' me.
Be our honeymoon,
Holding on for June.

Baby when we meet,
I'll kiss you my sweet.
Then you'll know it's true
Fallen into you.

Verse I

My life was a shambles, but I didn't know.
Thought love was a myth but, it just goes to show.
I thought I'd found love but, it all crumbled down.
I gave up on looking, and then I was found.


Chorus

My sweet little baby,
I love you so much.
I long for the day when,
I feel your sweet touch.
My sweet little baby,
I love you so much.


Verse II

You are my life now, I can't think beyond..
Without you my darling, I could not go on.
I never believed that, I could be this way.
I just know I love you, more every day.


Verse III

It's simply amazing, how close we've become.
Though we are afar dear, yet still we are one.
Though waiting is torture, it's well worth the pain.
We'll soon be together, and so will remain.

Do you know the one they call S'il Vous Plait?
I want to marry one like S'il Vous Plait
Last summer at the movies, S'il Vous Plait
There she was before me
In all her fire and glory
She's the one that they call S'il Vous Plait

I moved a little closer, S'il Vous Plait
She smiled as if she noticed, S'il Vous Plait
I moved right up beside her, S'il Vous Plait
I put my arm around her
I felt like I had found her
She's the one that they call S'il Vous Plait

I'll shout it to the sky from the tallest of the trees
I want a woman, if you please
The lady may be tempting, but I've finally learned her lesson:
Keep your mind on your music if you want to get to heaven
Do you know the one they call S'il Vous Plait?
I want to marry one like S'il Vous Plait

So now the sun has sung a summer day
They say that S'il Vous Plait has gone away
But wherever there's a will, there's a way
She's always within reach
Like Venus on the beach
Do you know the one they call S'il Vous Plait?
I want to marry one like S'il Vous Plait

Verse I

We circled round and round at first,
Unsure of where we'd go.
Two strangers reaching out to find,
Just what there was to know.
But as the days and weeks went by,
I came to be quite sure.
That something special we had found,
So true, so bright, so pure.


Chorus

My darling baby girl,
You have become my world
I'm all wrapped up in you.
Love everything you do.
You cause my pride to stand,
When you call me your man.
My darling baby girl,
You have become my world


Verse II

It took a while for you to see,
That you were meant for me.
But then you caught a glimmering,
Through an epiphany.
You weren't ready to commit,
Yourself to me in full.
But I was quite persistant and,
Now you could feel my pull.


Verse III

And then a spot of clarity,
Brought your eyes open wide.
We're half a world a way and yet,
We stood there side by side.
Now you're as sure as I am dear,
You finally can see,
That what we have's a gem so rare,
We were just meant to be.

Verse I

My baby's off on a trip,
While I'm sitting here on my own.
Craving the touch of her lips,
Just feeling so sad and alone.


Chorus

Missing you baby,
Please come back to me.
Need you to save me,
From my misery.
Love has enslaved me,
Please come set me free.


Verse II

Someone has stolen my sun,
Gray skies have me feeling so sad.
I told her 'go and have fun,'
And meant it, but still I feel bad.


Verse III

I know it's just a few days,
Til she's in my arms once again.
It's foolish, what can I say?
My life is on hold until then.

Verse I

I was so lost and so afraid,
All alone and on my own.
All my life I'd been betrayed,
By love impure and cold as stone.


Chorus

There couldn't be another two,
As made for us as me and you.
We know the love we have is true,
It shows in ev'rything we do.
You know I love you through and through,
And I know that you love me too.
There couldn't be another two,
As made for us as me and you.


Verse II

You were sad and lonely too,
Seeking love you could not find.
Then a bolt came from the blue,
We found each other now we're fine.

Verse I

I hitch to get to where I need.
I have no car you see.
Times are rough,
But I am tough,
Sometimes you gotta be.
I get good rides most of the time,
At others it's no go.
It's all good
Get what I should.
On the side of the road.


Chorus

On the side of the road,
On the side of the road,
You never know,
How it wiill go,
On the side of the road.


Verse II

There's money lost and money found,
A crapshoot at the best.
Take the things,
Good fortune brings,
And disregard the rest.
I've found the thing to do is just,
Sit back and watch the flow.
What goes by,
Upon the tide,
On the side of the road.


Verse III

Sometimes there are people too,
Out wanderin' around.
Just like me,
They're try'n' to see,
What's out there to be found.
Some are nice and some are mean,
You never really know.
Some are out,
Just roam'n' about,
On the side of the road.
