A COUPLE OF DAYS

WORDS AND MUSIC ANDY GRAY

SKIES ARE GREY AND MY FEET ARE WET

BURNT MY FINGERS ON A LITTLE BET

HAD MY FILL, STILL THE USER PAYS

KNEW MY OPTIONS WERE JUST A FEW  

CLIMBED ON BOARD A JACKEROO

AND I TOOK MY LEAVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS

TROUBLES FADE WHEN YOU ROLL ALONG

HEADING FOR THE SETTING SUN

THE FLINDERS FLUSH WITH A PURPLE HAZE

CROSSIN' SWORDS WITH THE OLD GHAN LINE

ON A TRACK LIKE CORRUGATED IRON

SHARE SATAN'S ABODE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS

A COUPLE OF DAYS         A COUPLE OF DAYS

A PAINTED DESERT CAUGHT MY EYE

MOUNT SONDER WHERE THE WOMAN LIES

FLOCKING TO THE ROCK 

THE PILGRIMS MAKE THEIR WAY

LEFT ALICE IN A HIGH SEASON THRONG

MULLIN' OVER MULGA AND SINGING' THIS SONG

IS IT A LIFETIME OR JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS?

A COUPLE OF DAYS         A COUPLE OF DAYS

NIGHT ROAD TRAIN MAKES A MIGHTY THUMP

BUMPIN' ROOS BEYOND THE BLACK STUMP

WALTZIN' DOWN MATILDA HIGHWAY

BACK TO BOURKE  AND BACK TO TOWN

EVERYONE'S RACIN' AND I'VE SLOWED DOWN

AMAZING HOW THINGS CAN CHANGE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS

Words and Music  ANDY GRAY

1  LAYIN' ON A GRASSY BED

LOOKING OVERHEAD

AS BUILDINGS CAST THEIR SHADOW

CLEAR A SPREAD,  A PARK IS DEAD

AWAY THE FRIGHTENED FAUNA FLED

THE GREEN IS GETTING NARROW

2  A DOUBTFUL MENU WE ARE FED

WATCH THE VIRULENT VIRUS SPREAD

DEEP INTO THE MARROW

BETTER TAKE CARE WHERE YOU TREAD

DON'T LOOK AWAY LOOK WAY AHEAD

THE GREEN IS GETTING NARROW

CH  I STILL BELIEVE IN GREEN

I STILL BELIEVE IN GREEN

I BELIEVE IN GREEN

3  FROM LEFT TO RIGHT YOU CAN SWAY FROM RIGHT TO WRONG IN A THOUSAND WAYS

YOU CAN LEAD OR FOLLOW

OUR PROGENY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE OIL SLICK THAT'S ON THE BAY

DON'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW

CH  I STILL BELIEVE IN GREEN

I STILL BELIEVE IN GREEN

I BELIEVE IN GREEN

4 DON'T PREACH I HEAR YOU SAY

DON'T PRETEND YOU KNOW THE WAY

DON'T PUSH YOUR VERDANT BARROW

LIKE THE NIGHT FOLLOWS DAY

THE GREEN IS LIFE IN EVERY WAY

THE GREEN IS GETTING NARROW

CH  I STILL BELIEVE IN GREEN

I STILL BELIEVE IN GREEN

I BELIEVE IN GREEN

Words and Music  ANDY GRAY
Siege of Sydney Streets (Instrumental - DAVE SWARBRICK)

1    SEE I'M FALLING, I'M LOSING CONTROL

STRIPPED DOWN AND BARING MY SOUL

ONLY YOU CAN CONSOLE ME

2    OVER AND OVER DEFYING THE DAY

FEELING A HEARTBEAT AWAY

LEAVES ME ONE THING TO SAY

CH    I'M MAD ABOUT YOU:

I'M MAD ABOUT YOU'

3    FEEL SO HELPLESS, JUST BEING AROUND

THE LOVELIEST JEWEL IN THE CROWN

YOU CAST YOUR SPELL AROUND ME

4    NUMBERS AND FIGURES, THEY'VE LEFT ME BEHIND

WITH ONLY YOU ON MY MIND

IT'S A QUESTION OF QUALITY TIME

CH    I'M MAD ABOUT YOU

I'M MAD ABOUT YOU

Words and Music   RALPH GRAHAM

LATE AT NIGHT WHEN THE SKY IS BLACK

TALK TO THE STREET BUT IT DOESN'T TALK BACK

ALMOST STEPPED ON A FORAGING CAT

ON THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

CURTAINS DRAWN AND YOUR THOUGHTS ARE DEEP

RENDEZVOUS THAT YOUR SOUL MUST KEEP

STORIES HERE THAT WILL MAKE YOU WEEP

ON THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

UP AHEAD THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY

AND THE MUSIC TAKES MY THOUGHTS AWAY

MORNING COMES AND THE BIRDS THEY SING

THINGS'LL GET BETTER IN THE SPRING

BUT YOU KNOW LIFE IS LONG LIKE A PIECE OF STRING

ON THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

THINKING HOW STRANGE THE NIGHT WE HAD

I'M OK 'CAUSE I DID NOT BUY

BUT THE NEWS IS BAD AND THE FACES ARE SAD

ON THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

UP AHEAD THE MARKET COMES TO LIFE

AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS STRANGE DELIGHT

THERE'S HOPEFULNESS AROUND

AND DREAMS THEY STILL ABOUND

AND PERHAPS THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE....

I COULD STILL BE THERE I KNOW

BURIED BENEATH THOSE COBBLE STONES

BUT I MADE MY MOVE NO MORE TO ROAM

THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

NOW I GO BACK ON A SUNNY DAY

SEE THE FACES OF YESTERDAY

BUT THEY STILL TALK OF THE "GOOD OLD DAYS"

ON THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON

STREETS OF PADDINGTON

THE STREETS OF PADDINGTON
