MARY
Monique Brumby

Mary’s in the temple she’s got a broken heart again
Oh what do you expect girl when you go and hang out with those men
She’s just picking up the pieces off the stone cold floor again
Ah Mary’s in the temple full of sin
Ah yes she is ah yes she is

One thing you’ve got to realize is that Mary she’s just like you and I
She walks the streets with her head held high that’s her disguise
What she knows is what she wears
What do you think ah she won’t care

One thing you’ve got to realize is that Mary she’s just like you and I
She did what others disapprove of just because
What she knows is what she wears
What do you think ah she won’t care

IT’S ALRIGHT
Monique Brumby

Saw you walking in with your head in your hands wiping away the tears
Your face shows the strain all the sleepless nights
A head full of ideas
Why didn’t somebody stop to say hey
I wish somebody stopped to say

Hey it’s alright keep your head in the sky
There’s nothing wrong with that
Hey it’s alright move a mountain if you try
Keep your mind on track
Why didn’t somebody stop to say hey

I spent last night talking with a friend of mine
We talked about philosophy and he said
All living things they grow pushing up to the sun
And that’s the way it ought to be
Why didn’t somebody stop to say

Hey it’s alright keep your head in the sky
There’s nothing wrong with that
Hey it’s alright move a mountain if you try
Keep your mind on track
Why didn’t somebody stop to say

All the desperate hours put them in the past
Like you know you should
All the things you fear put them in the past
Like you know you could
Keep aiming for the sky you’ll achieve more
Than you thought you would
Keep your head up high I tell you hey

Saw you walking in with your head in your hands
I turn to you and I smile and I say
Look in the mirror and you’ll see all the pieces come together
Stay and talk for a while
Why didn’t somebody stop to say hey
I wish somebody stopped to say

Hey it’s alright keep your head in the sky
There’s nothing wrong with that
Hey it’s alright move a mountain if you try
Keep your mind on track
Why didn’t somebody stop to say

FOOL FOR YOU
Monique Brumby

Oh the dust has gathered on my windowsill
And the weeds in my garden are growing higher and higher still
And all I can do is sit and think about us
Two worlds colliding, I don’t ask too much
Do I ask too much

If you want to know why I’m here
Well I’ll tell you
You see I’m a fool for you
My nights were so long until you, you came along
Ease my pain that’s what you do
I’m a fool for you

I know I was acting a little crazy the other night
But sometimes I get so angry I don’t want to fight
And oh we rise up no one’s giving in
And not for all the tea in china will I lose your heart
Now you’re under my skin

If you want to know why I’m here
Well I’ll tell you
You see I’m a fool for you
My nights were so long until you, you came along
Ease my pain that’s what you do
I’m a fool for you

I once received a poem saying forever you’ll be
Now the writer of that poem I never ever see
So I don’t expect you to stop your whole world just for me
‘Cause people change we all move on
But I’m telling you oh so honestly

If you want to know why I’m here
Well I’ll tell you
You see I’m a fool for you
My nights were so long until you, you came along
Ease my pain that’s what you do
I’m a fool for you

THE CHANGE IN ME
Monique Brumby

So I saw you again today oh what a surprise
You opened the door to me
You’d dyed your hair from brown into bright white
I always said it looked good like that
So I saw you again today oh what a surprise
It seems like nothing’s changed
And I keep asking myself why, why do I still feel this way

If I cannot have you then no one can have you
If I cannot see you then no one can see you
If I cannot love you then no one can love you
I can’t believe this change in me
I can’t believe this change in me

So I saw you again today had to disguise my pain
The way you looked at me
Tell me what are you trying to say
Do you still feel the same
Don’t things get complicated when you don’t expect them to
I could let myself fall but I’m trying to keep a positive view
All I really want is you

So I saw you again today oh what a surprise
You opened the door to me
You’d dyed your hair from brown into bright white
I always said it looked good like that

ONE DAY
Monique Brumby

I had everything for just one day
I lost everything in just one day
So tell me what’s right what’s wrong
Love’s here now love’s gone
I had everything for just one day

Oh come the day I can grow wings
And fly to the earth’s end
Just one day I can be free
Just one day set aside for me

It all begins you pack your bag
There’s new horizons and good times ahead
You leave home a suitcase
Love’s gone without a trace
I had everything for just one day

Oh come the day I can grow wings
And fly to the earth’s end
Just one day I can be free
Just one day set aside for me

I’ve always wanted what I cannot have
I won’t listen to you anymore
Can’t hold my feet to the floor

We must move on don’t you resist the pull
It’s not gravity it’s called life you fool
You’re a fool you’re a fool you’re a fool

Oh come the day I can grow wings
And fly to the earth’s end
Just one day I can be free
Just one day set aside for me

LAVA
Monique Brumby, David Bridie & Simon Polinski

So this is your old stomping ground
I guess it must have been refreshing to see a new face
In such a boring crowd
You move like hot lava
The way you swept through the crowd
Turning heads with your smile
You were an object of total desire

I like the look of you I’m sure that you don’t mind
I like the look of you how do you feel inside

I move I become aware
That you’re watching me now from across the room
Burning a hole in the back of my head

I like the look of you I’m sure that you don’t mind
I like the look of you how do you feel inside

I ask questions I need answers
To your suggestions to your advances
To your sexual advances

It’s OK I admit you’re sweet
And the look of you spins me out of control
Just one word is all I need

I like the look of you I’m sure that you don’t mind
I like the look of you how do you feel inside

I ask questions I need answers
To your suggestions to your sexual advances
How do you feel inside…

UP & DOWN
Monique Brumby

Footprints in the clear white snow
I say oh it’s a lovely day
It’s far too lovely to waste
So why am I wasting it

There are some things that I wouldn’t do
And oh things that I wouldn’t say
You really kill my confidence
You say I’m wasting away

I rise up and down I pace up and down
I float up and down I am up and down

While you sleep I am lying awake
Will this night ever come to an end
But it wouldn’t be so bad if you’d try to understand

I rise up and down I pace up and down
I float up and down I am up and down

Footprints in the clear white snow
I say oh it’s a lovely day
It’s far too lovely to waste
So why am I wasting it

I rise up and down I pace up and down
I float up and down I am up and down

JUST LIKE THAT
Monique Brumby & Charlie Fenech

Time moves so slowly when you’re not here
Encounters so brief now as brief as this year’s winter sun
Warming me

Just like that just like that I turn around and you are here
Where were you yesterday
When I was crying dear dear dearJust like that just like that I drop my guard and you come here
Where were you yesterday when I was crying

A quick call spoke briefly
Saying you’d be here the day after next
You flew right to my doorstep
And I embraced you with the tears
That fell the day you left

I can’t go back I’ve come too far
And you’re hurting me and time will
Tear us apart tear us apart

So many reasons so many people
They affect you and I
So where do we go from here
Should I hold you in my arms
Should I even try

And you’re hurting me and time will
Tear us apart tear us apart
It’ll tear us apart

Time moves so slowly when you’re not here

FALLEN ANGEL
Monique Brumby & Stephen Moffat

Angel had such a pretty face
Angel was a girl we all wanted to be
But death it came too soon
It grew in her like wild ivy

The stars fill my room at night
But when I tried to catch them
They would run they would run and hide
Just like you just like you

Won’t somebody take me out of this
You were closest too my heart
Won’t somebody break my body open
And let my pain flow out

You would say I love the look of you
The flowers they were too bright
Oh my love the look of you

Won’t somebody take me out of this
You were closest too my heart
Won’t somebody break my body open
And let my pain flow out

Angel You had such a pretty face

NATURAL
Monique Brumby

He was watching from the window above
While she splashed around in the pool of love
She looked up his eyes were jet black
He did some things that he won’t forget

He was watching from the window above
While the sweat fell on her kid glove
Young and naïve such a delicate thing
He moved fast he justified each swing

Look at him girl take a look at him girl
Now take a look at yourself look at the state you’re in
Look at the state you’re in look at the state you’re in
Danger the first time she sinks like a stone
He lies to her he carries on saying
It’s only natural you should breathe with me
But it’s not natural the abuse she receives
No it’s not natural no it’s not natural to me

She was watching from the window above
Her life passed with each push and shove
I looked up her eyes were jet black
She looked at me and I won’t forget her cry

BRING IT ON HOME
Monique Brumby & David Bridie

In 1945 World War 2 had come to an end
They threw their hats they threw their arms
Into the open air
She came from the island of kings
He came from across the sea
They had two children and in turn
Life was given to me

Bring it on home
Bring it on home

For over fifty years they walked side by side
Through the war at the end of the earth
Where the mountains touch the sky

Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home

This is where he wanted to be
As his heart gave in his knees gave way
To the earth he fell and time stood still

She held him in her arms and spoke softly as she cried
She’d lost her love at the end of the earth
Where the treetops reach the sky
They all came and they brought their flowers
And they all brought their tears
She turned to me and with a smile she said
Stay as sweet as you are my dear

Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
