Lyrics – Worth Your Love album
WORTH YOUR LOVE
(Sammy Storer & D.Storer)
You have travelled 1000 miles
Just to look each other in the eyes
And now I see why it was worth it
Commitments made vows said and done
Time pauses for no one
Another chapter begins
And I know you’ll be right there
Through the rocky and the fair
That doesn’t mean I’m not scared
That will be my weight to bear
Cause it’s worth your love
Let it lift you up
Oh high above
Oh it’s worth your love
What it looks like from outside
Is the crushing realisation why
It’s time to grow up
That’s easier said than done
We were girls together once
And now that’s never coming back
And I know you’ll be right there
Through the rocky and the fair
That doesn’t mean I’m not scared
That will be my weight to bear
Cause it’s worth your love
Let it lift you up
Oh high above
Oh it’s worth your love
When two become one it’s all about love
175
(S.Storer)
On this street at 6am
See the early bird catch the early worm
Boat wood chair and coffee is warm
And day light’s chasing after shadows
On this street he never waves not once
But his lawns are green and his hedges done
And if he falls off his mower and raises an arm
I’ll pretend I didn’t see him and just keep going
On this street where the T-Junction is
He’s no longer mad she’s no longer here
Kids in the buggy don’t come down to swim
At 175 how we miss them
On this street at 175
We pulled out all the trees so the stars could shine
And if you drive late at night
And the curtains aren’t down
You can see what we’re doing at 175
On this street there’s a house on the bend
And junk yard cars grow in garden beds
Well the wind picked up and the fire spread
And insurance insured he’d start up again
On this street at 175
We pulled out all the trees so the stars could shine
And if you drive late at night
And the curtains aren’t down
You can see what we’re doing at 175
On this street on the 1st of July
If you don’t like crackers you won’t survive
The pig dogs are howling and the wheelie bins are out
And the hoon in the Holden puts the pedal down
On this street at 175
We bought it off a couple didn’t realise
They have the same birthday as ours
See what I mean stars align
On this street at 175
Wet footy boots are hanging on the line
And the curtains are made from floral cotton sheets
At 175 on this street
Stella will bite if you look her in the eyes
And so will the kids … at 175
LAYERS
(S.Storer)
I had a tough day
It’s messing with my head
There’s a party on tonight
I heard what they said
I try to pretend
I try not to cry
If only they could see
There’s a person here inside
I throw my bag on the floor
Head down to my room
I fall onto my bed
My mum will be home soon
I’ll tell her what they said
Maybe, NO I wont
It’ll only break her heart
And I didn’t want to go anyway
Underneath these few layers on me
There’s a girl
Who wants just the same things as you
In this world
Best friends and secrets of love
On summer days
But all you see are layers & layers of weight
Monday comes around
I’ll start over again
I’ll fit into those jeans
Yeah I won’t eat a thing
But I had a tough day
This lesson never ends
I saw the look you gave
With your little group of friends
Underneath these few layers on me
There’s a girl
Who wants just the same things as you
In this world
Best friends and secrets of love
On summer days
But all you see are layers & layers of weight
I’m really good at art
And I have pretty eyes
But I’ll never look like them…
And their perfect Tik Tok lives anyway
Underneath these few layers on me
There’s a girl
Who wants just the same things as you
In this world
Best friends and secrets of love
On summer days
But all you see are layers & layers of weight
All you see are layers & layers of weight
Ah you see are layers & layers of weight
All you see are
BLIND FREDDY
(S.Storer & M.Fell)
Did you see that
We’ve all been talking
You got a ball and a bat but you just keep missing
Even blind Freddy would’ve seen that coming
And now you’re lying on your back stars are circling
Do you go out on a whim do you take direction
Do you swing to the right or the left on a sharp bend
Did you even see the sign that said slippery when wet
Do you see blue and I see violet
Will I wake it out of ya
Shake it out of your head
Even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
Will I wake it out of ya
Shake it out of your head
Even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
Oh it’s right in your face but you still keep searching
Did you drive straight past in a daze and forget
Well there’s no time left to be calling a psychiatrist
To wake it out of ya shake it out of your head
I got to wake it out of ya
Shake it out of your head
Even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
I got to wake it out of ya
Shake it out of your head
Even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
Oh even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
I’m going to wake it out of ya
Shake it out of your head
Even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
I’m going wake it out of ya
Shake it out of your head
Even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
Oh even blind Freddy would of seen that coming
UNDER DARWIN STARS
(S.Storer)
Hear the curlew calling
In the early morning
And the fan keeps turning
Oh we run for cover
In the sweat and the swelter
But it’s just what we’re used to
Do you remember the day I first met you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Do you remember the day I first kissed you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Laksa and lightning
Out there and hiding
Big saltie waiting
He’ll be back by morning
1000 k’s is nothing
When ya loving that someone
Do you remember the day I first met you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Do you remember the day I first kissed you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Hear the curlew calling
In the early morning
There’s a cyclone warning
Oh it’s too hot to think straight
Was that just the cool break
Ah shoot I blinked and I missed it
Do you remember the day I first met you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Do you remember the day I first kissed you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Do you remember the day I first met you
Under stars under stars under Darwin stars
Do you remember I remember
I remember
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD
(Pat Benatar)
You’re making me go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
Well I just want to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you’ve had
Believe me believe me
I can’t ask you why
But I’m trapped by your love
And I’m chained to your side
We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises no demands
Love is a battlefield
We’re losing control
Will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside
And when all this gets old
Will it still feel the same
There’s no way this will die
And if we get much closer
I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders
You’ll need me to hold
We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
And no one can tell us we’re wrong
Search in our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises no demands
Love is a battlefield
Love is a battlefield
Love is a battlefield
ON A LIMB
(S.Storer)
Take your time let’s see who’s listening
Oh loud and clear or hardly say a word
Are you first or wait for second
Or wait forever and never get a turn
Take your spot take your position
Oh are you centre or hang out on a limb
Behind closed doors have you stopped breathing
Cause your believing has left you once again
It ain’t fun out here
It ain’t fun out here on a limb
Don’t look down it’s a long way down
Take the stage like you’re a legend
Like they’ve been waiting all day just for you
Or take the stage like it’s a blessing
But second guessing everything you do
It ain’t fun out here
It ain’t fun out here on limb
Don’t look down it’s a long way down
It ain’t fun out here
It ain’t fun out here on limb
It ain’t fun out here
It ain’t fun out here on limb
Don’t look down
It’s a long way down
It ain’t fun out here
It ain’t fun out here on limb
Don’t look down
It’s a long way down
SING HER HEART OUT
(S.Storer)
She got her babies her babies got her
And how could she do that differently
She got that someone she can always count on
And she’ll sing what she damn pleases
But there’s a bird on a wire
Says you could fly higher
She don’t want it about enough
Play mummy and sitting on the sideline
Maybe she should wind it up tonight
She don’t want it bad enough
Playing lover so family don’t break down
I hope the crowd shows up this time
So at least she can sing her heart out
She got her grounding grew up on the land
And whistles through the wheat fields
She got her blessings doesn’t need to tell them
All about her broken strings
But there is talk in this town oh
On stage if she ‘d just spin around
She don’t want it bad enough
Playing mummy and sitting on the sideline
Maybe she should wind it up tonight
She don’t want it bad enough
Playing lover so her family don’t break down
I hope the crowd shows up this time
So at least she can sing her heart out
Oh there’s talk in this town
On stage if you’d just spin around
She don’t want it bad enough
Playing mummy and sitting on the sideline
Maybe she should wind it up tonight
She don’t want it bad enough
Playing lover so her family don’t break down
I hope the crowd show up this time
So at least she can sing
At least she can sing
At least she can sing her heart out
GET IN BEFORE THE BROLGAS DO
(S.Storer)
I am a brolga
In a place far from the sea
On the banks of the Georgina
Under stars you might find me
I am a warrior
And I will dance for you
And if a yabbie grabs you by the toe
You might dance for me too
I am a water lily
I change colour as I go on
On the banks of the Georgina
I’ve survived the drought and flood
I am a warrior
And I will dance for you
And if you eat my yummy little seeds inside
You might dance a sweet dance too
I am little bare feet
And my home is Camooweal
And the banks of the Georgina
Are old and wise like an ancient tale
We are all warriors
And we will dance for you
And if you cook us up goanna tonight
You’ll be hopping like a kangaroo
And if you want sweet little lily tonight
Get in before the brolgas do
Get in before the brolgas do
Get in before the brolgas do
KIDS ON A RAMPAGE
(S.Storer & G.Storer)
Kids are on the rampage
They busted down the door
Screaming up the highway
Policeman at the door
Kids are on the rampage
They busted down the door
Screaming up the highway
Policeman know the score
There should be a roly-poly
Rolling down this street
There should be two gun slingers
Death about to meet
Pressure cooker’s boiling
Watch out she’s gunna blow
Still we look for answers
But the answers are so slow
Kids are on the rampage
They busted down the door
Screaming up the highway
Policeman at the door
The kids are on the rampage
They busted down the door
Screaming up the highway
Policeman know the score
Think I might just listen
To see what I can hear
Think I might stop talking
Keep the airways clear
Worry worry worry
About our kids out here
Always in a hurry hurry
While their ripping through the gears
Kids are on the rampage
They busted down the door
Screaming up the highway
Policeman at the door
Kids are on the rampage
They busted down the door
Now their screaming up the highway
Policeman know the score
MARMALADE
(S.Storer)
Marmalade’s a mongrel
It’s been years since Jimmy died
The neighbour took the mangey mutt
And tied him up outside
The dog he’s never tired
Cause he sleeps away the day
And at night he man’s the boundary restricted by his chain
And the birds are now awake
And so is the beating heart of mangey Marmalade
And he SPINS and he SPINS for him
Oh on a whim on a whim
He’ll turn to him
The brown bare patch of being
Spinning lying sleep
Bones green algae growing
In his water bowl deep
He hears him in the distance
That motor noisy struts
I’m over here a bark and cheer
“Sit down you mangey mutt!”
And the birds are now awake
And so is the beating heart of mangey Marmalade
And he SPINS and he SPINS for him
Oh on a whim on a whim
He’ll turn to him
And say “Get on in”
Marmalade’s not angry
He’s got water he’s got shade
As he drifts into a daydream
The good old days invade
He’s back there chasing rabbits
His beating heart possessed
And Jimmy’s weathered loving hand
Rests upon his head
And the birds are now awake
And so is the beating heart of mangey Marmalade
And he SPINS and he SPINS and he SPINS for him
Oh on a whim on a whim
He’ll turn to him
Oh and he SPINS and SPINS and SPINS for him
Oh on a whim on a whim
He’ll turn to him
And say “Get on in!”
FARMER
(S.Storer)
He’s part of the soil
Like barley and wheat and sorghum
He’ll wilt in the sun but he’ll thrive in the rain in Autumn
His mind’s the clouds
His heart is telling him how to come down
But it’s in his blood
He’s just doing what his dad told him
Farmer how you getting on
Farmer how you keeping strong
Fool hearted love
Crazy the time that he’s given
Share it around but when lost his found
His tractor’s spinning
Barley and wheat cattle and sheep and the winter
But troubles in town
I know when chips are down
And you’re not sleeping
Farmer how you getting on
Farmer how you keeping strong
Well I know what you think
When your mind is on the brink
And you cry
When it all rests on you this way of life rule
And the price is…
Fool hearted love
Crazy the time that he’s given
Share it around but when lost is found
His tractors spinning
Farmer how you getting on
Farmer how you keeping strong
His mind’s the clouds
His heart’s telling him how to come down
When it all rests on you this way of life rule
And the price is…
Farmer how you getting on
