Angus And Julia Stone

First topic message reminder :

Hold On :
And I'm waiting for the day
I know you've got your part
And I'm waiting for the day
I know you'll have the heart

And I'm hoping that you'll say
That you loved me all this time
But it turns out just the same
And you break apart the things I had

Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?

And I'm waiting for the day
Inside my mother's clothing store
And I'm waiting for the day
What am I waiting for?

Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?

River :
It's coming on christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
You know, It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I'd teach my feet to fly
Cause' I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye

She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
And she loved me all naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Cause' I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye
I made her say goodbye

Silver Coin :
Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.

I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone

All the love has gone away
Cos I didnt have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone.

Soldier :
I met him down by the bay,
he said life is a stranger
that wont go away.

He took me by surprise,
and I felt for the first time,
what its like to be alive

I’m a soldier,
but I don’t know how to fight.
I’m your best friend
but I’m scared to see you tonight.
I’m the darkness,
but I want to be the light,
oh how I want to be,
oh how I want to be.

I met him down by the sea,
said I look like someone he knew.
I said I don’t know anyone,
so how could I possibly know you.

He touched my hand ,
finally I understand
what it means to be here with you.

I’m a soldier,
but I don’t know how to fight.
I’m your best friend
but I’m scared to see you tonight.
I’m the darkness,
but I want to be the light,
oh how I want to be,
oh how I want to be.

Sadder Than You :
I don’t deserve love, I slapped him in the face
as he stood by the bed and said ‘I love you’
He told me I'd taste the pain
but I taste it everyday

You win, I'm sadder than you
You win, I'm sadder than you
You win, I'm sadder than you
You win, I'm sadder than you

You’ll turn out like him and I'll turn out like her
I'll be lonely and sad, you’ll be strong and unmoved
You won’t have any friends and I'll live in a room
with flowers on the walls and golden doorknobs

You win, I'm sadder than you
You win, I'm sadder than you
You win, I'm sadder than you
You win, I'm sadder than you

Jewels And Gold :
I’m going round,
I’m going round to my friends house,
To get myself high.
It takes me to a different place
where nothing leaves my mind.
But men in blue knocked on my door,
and said “ I’ve come to kill off your kind”,
it’s the killing of the mind.

The circus came,
then packed up there things.
When there’s no ones around,
We’ll be high as kings,
without the things,
like jewels and gold.

I’m rolling down,
I’m rolling down to my hotel,
between the lines.
The paperboy still looks the same,
as the old get old
and the young are feeling fine.

A soldier came knocked down my walls
and said “ I’ve come to kill off your kind”
It’s the killing of the mind.

The circus came,
then packed up there things.
When there’s no one around,
we’ll be high as kings,
without the things,

Stranger :
In a sunset park,
we move through the crowd.
I kissed your lips,
there was no one around,
there was no one around.

In a house made of glass,
there’s a boy throwing rocks.
He loves like his last cause
your hearts all you got,
yeah your hearts all you got.

And it’s been so long,
Since you’ve been round.
I’ve never missed a stranger before.
I think it’s nice (?)
It’s Judas’s call (?)
I’ve never missed a stranger before, like you.

She wore lace round her hair
and she looked like a queen.
With eyes so fair,
she was something of a dream,
yeah she was something of a dream

Cause it’s been so long,
Since you’ve been round.
I’ve never missed a stranger before.
Think it’s nice,
It’s Judas’s call
Never missed a stranger before, Like you.

Cause its been so long,
Since you’ve been round.
I’ve never missed a stranger before.
Think it’s love,
It’s Judas’s call.
Never missed a stranger before, Like you.

Wooden Chair :
My old wooden chair
In amongst the flames
Alone

I clear my throat to speak
But I cant say a word
Not one

This girl knew my name
On a wooden bridge
Its cold

Woke up on the floor
With poison in my blood
And I'm missing you

My old wooden chair
In amongst the crowd
Alone

If I can't tap my foot
To an honest tune
I'll run

I took a leap
Across the creek
The water rose

Woke up in the sea
With poison in my blood
And I'm missing you

The Beast :
Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
No mercy with time

They brand you with the fire,
Then push you into the sun.
They want the free land to expire,
They want everyone to be numb.
The worlds drinking from a cup that no one wants to share
Words from the king that no one wants to hear

Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)

Retrench me because of machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track mark under the sleeve
I can't talk I need to run
Loves thrown away the ring
Not knowing what to say
Mama won't you sing
It's like you're cut by the blade

Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)

Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)
(Don't be running late)

Don't be running late (till the end)

The Wedding Song :
We are gonna build a life together
You and I for ever and ever
And we'll, we'll make babies on the beach
Under the stardust
And I'll hear your voice come through the door
A thousand times, maybe more
And I'll smile inside to know you're mine
Completely

Do you know how lovely you are?
In the starlight, in the starlight of my heart
Do you know how lovely you are?
In the moonlight, in the moonlight of my heart

We're gonna build a home together
You and I for ever and ever
And we'll, we'll make babies on a beach
Under the stardust
And I'll hear your voice come through the door
A thousand times, maybe more
And I'll smile inside to know you're mine
Completely

And I'll wind up every day
Thinking about the way you make me feel
When your lips touch my lips
And I'd crawl inside a cave
Or live somewhere strange
As long as I'm with you
I have got what I need

We are gonna build a life together
You and I for ever and ever
And we'll, we'll make babies on the beach
Under the stardust
And I'll hear your voice come through the door
A thousand times, maybe more
And I'll smile inside to know you're mine
Completely mine

Wasted :
I don't know just what I'll do
Everytime you walk into the room
Oh my head is spinning around
And I can't see clearly right now

I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you (x2)

I don't know if I'll survive,
In this magical land behind your eyes.
And there's all these funny little men,
There all asking me to dance and sing.

I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you (x2)

Red and yellow, pink and green, purple and orange and blue.
Are all of the colours I see my love, everytime I see you.

I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you (x2)
