pack my things and go

Song - 2002


city life has really got me down
i walk the streets with a long long frown
it's all the same when i look around
aint no happiness to be found
i guess i'll pick myself up and go
back to the mountains all covered in snow
(back to the snow covered mountains that i used to know)

i met a city girl, she was nice to me
sophisticated and so pretty
she introduced me to the big city
but things are not the way they used to be
i guess i'll pick myself up and go
back to the (quiet) mountains all covered in snow
(back to the snow covered mountains that i used to know)

i find the city pace a bit too much
seems to me that i don't have the touch
don't seem to handle all the rage and rush
i  really can not understand the fuss
i guess i'll pick myself up and go
back to the (beautiful) mountains all covered in snow
(back to the snow covered mountains that i used to know)

I know it's me and not the city folk
but really sometimes i feel like a joke
just want to play guitar and drink and smoke
i think it's maybe i'm a country bloke
i miss the mountains and i miss the snow
so i'll just pack my things and get up and go

hiding in the dark

song 2002

i'm your secret you keep me hidden in the dark
hidden lover but of your life i have no part

we have a secret code we use when you want me to be there
"roses pizza" baby means i'm standing on your stair

i'm nobody baby anybody knows about
so when the doorbell rings you have tell me to get out

i don't know just how long i can handle being someone
nobody knows about or realises that i'm so in  love with you
i'll do what you want me to
even if it means i'm hiding in the dark


we can't walk together hand in hand along the city street
we don't know who might see us or who we just might meet

we can't sit together in a fitzroy restaurant
we can't kiss and hug in public even if it's what we want

i'm your lover baby and i'm so in love with you
i'm your hidden lover baby please tell me you are true

when i lie alone at night thinking only that i want to be with you
please baby tell me what to do
to stop me crying while i lie here in the dark
