One Day

Talk is cheap they say
But we’ll do it we’ll do it one day
So let’s get these words engraved
Into our life trajectory
Until then we’ll keep on
We’ll keep moving along through song
Until when we move on
And can instead do nothing
Screech of a tyre is bursting your ear drums
But it’s not for eternity
We will live by the ocean
And we’ll walk on the sand
And we can lay on the grass
And be relaxing
We will tend to the fire
To keep us all warm
We’ll settle down and we’ll live in slow motion
I hope these neon signs don’t stain
We’ll let the fairy lights guide our way
Back to earth and far beyond
To the place that we belong
Squeal of a siren’s bursting your ear drums
But it’s not for eternity
Watch the trains roll by
And those pilots navigate the night sky
Block out cars racing by
Until we finally wave goodbye
One day one day We will leave here babe
One day one That will be our life babe
Screams from the pavement bursting your ear drums
But know this isn’t eternity

Road Tripping

lyrics
We packed supplies and excitement into a camper van
There’s no better way to get to know someone then road tripping
The dirt was red, horizon filled with stubborn emus
I’ll never forget the moment we arrived at Uluru
As the sunset, the colours changed
I’d seen pictures but this put them to shame
At that moment, yeah I knew
Wanted to spend my life road tripping with you
The obvious next step was some music festivals
So we headed to the camping store to purchase essentials
That very day we ended up buying our first home
With two bedrooms made from canvas a net for the mosquitos
We smuggled in the contraband and erected the tent
We had magical moments shared between old and new friends
We spent our time stumbling upon our new favourite bands
But it went sour sneaking in your cousin sharing a wristband
Her boyfriend, He never came
So I ventured outside for the exchange
But I was cooked, I couldn’t hide
Despite best efforts, your mother realised
Road tripping through
Countryside that’s new
There’s no better view
But still so much more to do
Our wedding was easily the best day of my life
But I couldn’t wait to honeymoon with my brand new wife
Spent time in Paris, Italy then set off for Amsterdam
Where we shared an experience we never could have planned
We got lost, But found our way
I almost fell, but you had me saved
Life or death, we faced our fears
But had to ration all the edible souvenirs
Road tripping to Some off beat avenue
We’ve got the greatest crew Still so much more to do

lyrics
I
Love my
I love my wife ez
When I’m with you
It’s always Friday
No cares no worries
With golden rays of sun
You make me feel
Like my three beer self
Confident happy
I’ve got a buzz going on
I
Love my
I love my wife ez
I
Think I’m
Hashtag blessed
You keep me on
Me On the level
Ensure this vessel
Doesn’t crash ashore
You keep me in
You Keep me in check
I’ll always be next
To you on the chessboard
While I don’t pray at night
Not heard from Jesus Christ
I still feel hashtag blessed
No cross above my bed
JC’s not in my head
I still feel hashtag blessed

Follow Your Heart

lyrics
Thinking 'bout up and moving away
Thinking 'bout what you said that day
And I just can’t seem to figure it out
What to do to help you to see
What to do to help set you free
But I just can’t seem to figure it out
But my love
Follow your dreams
We’re not done
We’re going to live until we are one hundred and one
We’ve got time
We’ve got love
Relatively this is just the start
Banging our heads on the wall
Banging on and on about it all
But together we’ll figure it out
And some weeks feels like I just pretend
And some weeks feel like they’ll never end
But together we’ll figure it out
So my love
Follow your dreams
We’re not done
We’re going to live until we are one hundred and one
We’ve got time
We’ve got love
Relatively this is just the start
Let's plant a seed
We'll see what grows
Who knows what
The future holds
But just know
In the future I’ll hold you
Follow your dreams
We’re not done
We’re going to live until we are one hundred and one
We’ve got time
We’ve got love
Relatively this is just the start

Once Upon a Rhyme
03:17

Let your hair down, You deserve it
It shouldn't be this hard, be this hard just to exist
Let down your hair, Just let it fall
I need all of your support to help me climb, climb up these walls
Gather round now it's storytime
I'll sing you once upon a rhyme
Flick through the pages until I find you
Like a fractured fairytale, Your no damsel in distress
You came along and saved the day, and now I'm doing my best
Rupunzel, Red Riding Hood, well they got nothing on you
I'm not covered in shining armour, But I hope I'll do, I hope I'll do
Let's build a life, We'll use some bricks
Despite our best intentions feels like they all turn into sticks
Let's get back up, when we're blown down
I don't think I could get through this without you being around
Sit down because it's storytime
I'll sing you once upon a rhyme
If I lose my place I hope you'll come find me
Just like a fractured fairyland
Your no damsel in distress
You came along and saved the day
And now I'm doing my best
Rupunzel, Red Riding Hood well they got nothing on you
I'm not covered in shining armour but I hope I'll do I hope I'll do
I hope I'll do I hope I'll do
I hope that I will do for you
I said I do You said I do
Now I'll do anything for you
And Happily ever after
It finally came true

Dukuleles

lyrics
Purchased a new trumpet oh its so shiny
Upgraded to a grand piano and it sounds lovely
The euphonium they bought's the biggest and the best
But why are we even interested
Our bond is strong
And that’s enough
Like The Beatles said "You can’t buy me love"
We could walk to the beat of our own drum
Or we could shake it up just like a maraca
We could like slide like a trombone’s melody
Or just be content playing ukuleles
Or just be content as the dukeleles
Grass is always greener on the other side
Be careful comparisons can disease your life
We may decide between chooch or buffalo
As long as it’s beneath our toes
You’re here for me and I’m for you
Like The Beatles said "Love me do"
We could walk to the beat of our own drum
Or we could shake it up just like a maraca
We could like slide like a trombone’s melody
Or just be content playing ukuleles
Or just be content as the dukeleles
We’ve got friends and family
Sure there are challenges, responsibilities
But I’ve got you and you’ve got me
Loke the Beatles said "Love is all we need"
We could walk to the beat of our own drum
Or we could shake it up just like a maraca
We could like slide like a trombone’s melody
Or just be content playing ukuleles
Or just be content as the dukeleles

lyrics
The first time that I saw you
You really caught my eye
I was bowled over by your green skirt
And that beautiful smile
Ever since we helmet
You had me in a spin
We drunk together we had a ball but
I still regret leaving
Cause just like Big Bash stumps
You light up my life
And I’d like to declare my love you
In summer those Big Bash stumps
Light up the sky
But they pale in comparison to you
That time the candle burnt down
To the end of the wick
It almost set the house ablaze
But we survived it
It’s certainly a test of patience
Watching everyday
But there's no one else I’d rather be with
During life’s power play
Cause just like Big Bash stumps
You light up my life
And I’d like to declare my love you
In summer those Big Bash stumps
Light up the sky
But they pale in comparison to you

Keep Calm and Karaoke On
02:45

Alarm bell sounds
The radio, turns, on
Devastation, fills that station
All day long
I look at you
You look at me
We need something to break all this misery
Combat the bombs, with sing alongs!
Keep calm and karaoke on
Cause I love singing with you.
Alarm bell sounds
The routine goes, on
Another day ends, count down the days until
The weekend comes
I look at you
You look at me
We need something to break the monotony
Well my heart longs for 90s pop songs !
So Keep calm and karaoke on
cause I love singing with you.
It isn't all that drastic
warm beer drunk from plastic
A smoky room and worn out furniture
Interpretive dances
between sly romantic glances
I believe that we have found the cure
So Keep calm and karaoke on
Cause I love singing with
I love being with
I love singing with you
