Gravity
Well I had a dream last night
There was no gravity
Well I had a dream last night
Nothing holding me – down
Gravity – holding me
Gravity – holding me

Went to see my analyst
To try to figure the facts
She says you get no free advice
Life’s like that you see
With no gravity – holding me
Gravity – holding me

Well I had a dream last night
There was no gravity
Well I had a dream last night
Nothing holding me
Nothing holding us
There your life entrusts

Gravity – holding you
Gravity – holding us

Gravity was co-written with Dave Robb

Lean Machine

Please don’t lean ON my machine
Keep it clean And tidy It cost me money
It cost me time
It cost me all of the best years of my mind
Please don’t lean On my machine
Don’t lean I’ve got reason To believe
I’ll get my money back From this metallic thief
Don’t lean on my machine
While I get it back Took it from the widows
The orphans need
Took it from the roses
Took it from the weed In far flung fields
Where poppies grow Red like blood Then white like snow
For my machine
Don’t lean on my machine
Spin the wheel Make a deal
Raise the stakes
That’s all it takes
Can’t miss me I’m the tallest one I’m in your sky
O my Come and have a wheel on my big wheel
Come and make a deal
Spin another wheel
If you want to stay healthy While I get wealthy
You can watch
Keep your hands off
Please don’t lean On my machine
Keep it clean and tidy
that was a nice house
that was a nice car
It cost me money
It cost me time
It cost me all of the best years of my mind
Please don’t lean On my machine (He was a family man) don’t lean
There’s a good chap Just stand back Where’s your?……………………………………………
Please don’t lean on my machine (repeat)

Based on the truth – someone who gambled away everything he had on the pokies. Gambling just one of his problems. LH
