[Verse 1:]
Touch the wish behind the words,
Discover strainful joy that hurts 
Your radar on, antenna up.

Book that's read between the lines
Is happy to reveal its signs.
Bookstore's still open, hurry up!

Your album travels far beyond what you think
You will be taken by surprise! 

[Verse 2:]
Seven wonders hide under sky
Only waiting for open question why?
It's enough to enter should you only try.

River in the sea is hard to see,
But broken wave wants to give away the key
Ride that rip undaunted, it will set you free!

Whatever obvious is easy to see,
But there is simply no such thing!

[Verse 3:]
Touch the wish behind the words,
Discover strainful joy that hurts 
Your radar on, antenna up

Seven wonders hide under sky
Only waiting for open question why?
It's enough to enter should you only try.

Whatever obvious is easy to see,
But there is simply no such thing.

Touch The Wish

[Verse 1:]
Have you ever noticed 
How world around you
Was not moving forward at all
Years and years were passing 
And nothing happening
But then you receive a call

Are you ready to pick up the phone?
Cause you know who this call is from
Dot your t's and cross your eyes
And prepare to move on.

[Verse 2:]
If you were a painter 
With all the colors 
And brushes at your command.
You could smudge your paints
In a random way
But I doubt this is what you planned.

Well, guess what? He's a painter too, 
But his picture's much bigger than you.
Help him draw your part
Make sure it's fine when it's due.

[Chorus:]
You just had a call
And your world just shifted
You feel the power about to break free
Now you ask yourself
What exactly  was gifted   
You have no clue
But you now have the key

An illusory wall ahead 
Has transformed to a door instead 
Only words that were told today
Will remain unsaid.

[Verse 3:]
We were told our lives are 
Like lice that crawl 
Through the thick of a zebra's hair.
We enjoy the white stripes,
And suffer through black ones
In hope you-know-who would care.

Only I don't agree of course
I am a knight on a big white horse
Paint it black or white 
Or yellow for better or worse.

The Call

Out Of Whack (Live)

[Verse 1:]
You think you know the game,
But you are playing with Sharpie (sharp-Er!)
You can't bluff a bluffer
And there is no one to blame

You think it's a joker, 
But it's really a trump card.
Wow, what a surprise! 
You're in the wrong game!

[Break:]
Really? I don't know, man...
Tarot cards maybe?

[Verse 2:]
You play above board, 
All according to Hoyle (who?)
But there is always someone 
Who shuffles the deck.

You kinda know about that, 
But it still makes your blood boil
They have their own rules a
And they don't give a heck!

[Chorus:]
Facepalm! 
For crying out loud!
Keep calm
How can it be?!

Facepalm! 
Don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Keep calm
Breathe!

[Solo:]
Now, keep calm! What? Keep calm, damn it!!! Jesus!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
You're forced to ante up,
But it's not a good feeling
When you realise that
You were dealt a bad hand!

You would have done it right
But you are not the one dealing
It's not a fair game
It should come to an end!

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Facepalm!
Pushing on a pull door.
Keep calm!
Why you're laughing at me?
Lip balm
What are you talking about?
Heart attack
Breathe! Breathe!

Headdesk
Now the shit really hit the fan!
Feel bad!
It happens every day
Rat race!
Don't choke on your cheese!
Salad face!
I'm sick of this nonsense! Stop it!

Facepalm

[Verse 1:]
There's a certain place
Where city meets surf
And the nature's grace
Like nowhere on Earth

Where wild ocean world's
Right next to hip bars
Full of pretty girls
From near and far

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to
My place on Coogee Bay Road

[Verse 2:]
I lived many lives
Up there and down here
Till I realised
My options are clear

In the piles of snow
In the darkness of day
Where the sky is low
For sunshine I prayed

So I packed my guitar
And moved 'cross the world
Down here to Coogee Bay Road

[Chorus:]
In my hideaway place, Honeycomb
I came find out what is home
In my wildest dreams I traded my postcode
To Coogee Bay Road

Cowbell solo, hit it!
[Solo]

[Verse 3:]
AC/DC songs
Pulsate in my veins
Bronze Medallion done
I cannot complain

But my hardest test
Was by far Vegemite
It took a five year quest
Till I got it right

Now I got all the ticks
And I cracked the code
Of life on Coogee Bay Road

[Chorus]

Coogee Bay Road

[Verse 1:]
I'm being humble to describe myself
The smartest cookie in the jar
It is related to my mental health
My narcissism has gone too far

I am one of those who always know the best
Rely on me I'm always right
But thoughts of being wrong won't let me rest
Like a group of splinters in my mind

If you ever dare
To question my reign
You're gonna be writhing in pain

[Verse 2:]
I change my colours as the backgrounds change
I'm telling you - Hey, it's my natural colour!
Don't trust your vision I'm beyond your range
And I like you the more the duller.

If you deal with me you have to make a choice
Respect authority and bow
I will defame you if you raise your voice!
I'll coin a nasty name for you - I'll call you...

[Chorus 1:]
Unreasonable x4
You are...
Unreasonable x4
This makes me right
And that makes you wrong
If I just repeat - you're
Unreasonable x4
You are...
Unreasonable x4

[Verse 3:]
I wonder how do people eat this shit
'Cause I can do whatever I want
And you'll be thanking me for all I did
And you'll be sorry if you don't!
That would be...

[Chorus 2:]
Unreasonable x4
You are...
Unreasonable x4
It makes me feel safe
In my stupid brain
Repeating this word - you're
Unreasonable x4
You are...
Unreasonable x4

Unreasonable

[Verse 1:]
I would often call you late when I was feeling down
You have always been my mate when I need you around
Now anytime I try to reach you all I get is beeps
I know you're there, it's giving me the creeps.

[Verse 2:]
You have always been my girl, but not the only one
I know you wanted something more and now you got it done
Now that you decided that it's time to tie the knot
Don't blame you honey, go ahead, why not?

[Chorus:]
Leaving to new life (It's too late now)
Leaving me behind (You're engaged now)
Too much for my brain (Speak now or forever hold your peace)
Driving me insane (Forever and ever, amen!)

[Verse 3:]
I loved our dirty games, but never stayed the night
I would would do it all again, but now I have no right.
You will be respected woman, volunteer for church
Conduct econometrical research
