ATTACK OF THE TOXIC SHOCK TAMPONS (Copyright 09/2006 Rob Bender) 1. Forgotten all connection, no guarantee to find it Looking in no direction, out of a one track mind Sometimes the only action, is when you don't decide it Wait for a chain reaction, but you don't have the time 2. Sometimes the only answer, is standing right before you Night is a strong enhancer, of things as plain as day, No time to beg the question, no mind to reason why, It's just a sharp reflection, in which to do or die
12.
THINK THINGS OVER (Copyright 2006 Rob Bender) 1. Simple days of before, lookin' back from the outside Along the trail to the shore, we'd be spending together But holding on to the past, doesn't lead to a future You're only cheating yourself, if you hold on forever CH. You could be what I need, just give me some time, to think things over Maybe we'll wait and see, just give me some time, to think things over 2. The lonely path to your door, overgrown with discontentment We should have seen it before, but that's wisdom of hindsight But don't be hard on yourself, love is blind from the inside, 'Cause it's a matter of choice, what you do, or you don't do CH. rpt.

SO I MARRIED A FUCKTARD MURDERER (Copyright 07/2004, Rob Bender) 1. Baby when I met you, there was something strange About the way you kept your knives, in the bathroom cab'net You'd trawl the clubs at night, looking for male strippers, Then tip-toe up the stairs, in your bedroom slippers! Where are you? Where are you? 2. A harmless bit of whacking, soon turned into hacking It put them in a whirl, to find you were a girl! Where are you? Where are you?
14.
POSITION IMPOSSIBLE (Copyright 2008 Rob Bender) 1. Traffic lights and dead end streets, forgot what I had to say, Victoria 3-7-9, inside the New York Cafe, Bridge 1. September she was mine, but by January she went her own way 2. I went down to the wailing wall, to look out across the sea, Picked her up 2 hours before, and got what I didn't need, Bridge 2. October she was fine but by February she went her own way again Went her own way again, she went her own way Bridge 3. I know that love is blind but can we stay together for worse or better? 3. Took a stroll on Manly Wharf, and stood on the windy beach, Threw myself right off the gap, and drowned in a blooded sea, Bridge 4. But how was I to know she was getting ready to make her way back to me, Make her way back to me, she made her way back Made her way back to me, she made her way back
15.
IF YOU ONLY KNEW Copyright 08/2006 Rob Bender 1. If you knew what they really thought What goes on, in private talk If you knew how he really feels, You wouldn't be chasing at his heels If you knew how she really felt You'd wanna get it off with someone else CH. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah If you only knew Yeah yeah yeah yeah If you only knew 2. If you try, to read her tears, You'd find that they aren't, that sincere Wouldn't it, be so nice, To know what, she really thinks, Two-faced friends in disguise But you might not like, what they say CH. rpt. 3. If you heard them behind your back, You might take, a different tack All the words that you'd never hear, Would become, crystal clear There can be no revelation Call it self-preservation, 'Cause if we all really knew, There would be just me and you CH. rpt. Outro Sometimes, you're better off that you don't know Sometimes, you're better off that you don't know

Billboards 04:00
BILLBOARDS (Copyright 1993/2006 Rob Bender) 1. We never get too far, without a price to pay The other side takes heart, with nothing more to say, As the day breaks, into your room, right through your window pane, I'll be driving, by open fields, along the highway lane (Which reminds me . . .) CH1. "You'll never see, a billboard lovely as a tree, Perhaps unless, the billboards fall, You'll never see a tree at all," Said Ogden Nash in '33, in a parody of Joyce Kilmer's "Trees", The flying dove, the velvet glove, Have come to wave "Goodbye my love" 2. Words are not enough, when words are all you've got, The reasoning drags on, because it's all a con And the night holds, a place to delve, Into the reasons why But it won't change, a single thing, 'Cause I've made up my mind CH2. The time has come, to find a space where I belong No telephone, and no way home, I watch the endless sky alone And the winter shade, from the trees above, Hide the colours of your undying love, Exchanging rings, and other things, Doesn't count for anything. (That reminds me . . .) CH1. "You'll never see, a billboard lovely as a tree, Indeed unless, the billboards fall, You'll never see a tree at all," Said Ogden Nash in '33, in a parody of Joyce Kilmer's "Trees", The flying dove, the velvet glove, Have come to wave "Bye-bye my love"

Mary Celeste 02:24
MARY CELESTE (Copyright 1994/2008 Rob Bender) 1. It's all too much, even though it's not enough Reasons why, start to march into the night Ch 1. Running out and running in, through the fields of desperation, Only ten set on their way, but none came back to Save the day 2. Our ship set sail, on chiding seas, on beds of nails No time to lose, to tragedise this ocean cruise Ch 2. Rabbits' feet and bain-maries, fun and games upon the high seas Ocean wrecks on tortured sands, this is where our journey lands
18.
The Gap 06:45
THE GAP (Copyright 2001, Rob Bender) 1. The sky and the trees don't mean anything to me, without you, without you The stars in your eyes are not telling me goodbye, but it's blue, without you Ch. Without you, you Parting with you, is always such sweet sorrow, But on the bright side, there'll always be tomorrow. 2. She's big on petite, from her head down to her feet, Can you guess who, is fond of you? Ch. Without you, you Parting with you, is always such sweet sorrow, But on the bright side, there'll always be tomorrow. 3. You're my shining star, oh so near but yet so far, And it's true, I'm telling you Ch. Without you, you

If you got troubles baby, then you know just what to do If you got troubles baby, then you know just what to do, Well you know that there's a pillow, Waiting right here just for you 3. If you got hangups baby, weighing on your troubled mind If you got hangups baby, weighing on your troubled mind, When you get yourself together, You don't know, what you might find

GOLDEN SHOWERS (Copyright 07/2004 R. Bender) 1. With the breaking of the waves, on the reef, I knew you were different, underneath, When I took off your clothes, you were full of holes Our love was strong and free, are you ready for me?

JUST FOR NOW (Copyright 1990 Rob Bender) 1. White lies, in dark disguise, Anyway no matter which way, you turn While the questions are sometimes misleading, The answer is always the same It's alright, if you can try, To forget about life, for a while, 'Cause the story don't end till you're . . . gone 2. Far away from reason's grasp, Just wasting time. When you're mind is a pool full of nowhere, But yet everywhere at the same time, Take a dive, into the night, Until everything drops out of sight, Because nothing is something until . . . It's over . . . Solo It's over . . . Just for now.

Turn A Page 16:45
TURN A PAGE (Copyright 1993 Rob Bender) 1. You've been lookin' for somethin' That you cannot see, All the load you've been carrying is Coming down on me 2 Nothing less, nothing more, Nothing really matters that mattered before, Lotsa girlies coming through but None of them are you. (Hidden verse) Take a look, turn a page in a world of make believe And you know that tonight, it's alright (Hidden chorus) For the first time today, It's alright to say the things You know you wanna say. (Hidden verse) Have you seen, all the spies In the corners of the eyes Waiting there, for a small victory 5. You want someone, call on me You need freeing, I can set you free, I could be, on your mind Everyday, all the time 6. Strangers cross like ships at sea, their ardent thoughts lie sound in sprees of Reasons waged and intertwined, and thoughts that wait late to be lined. Are you calling? Hear you calling? 7. Though most paths are separate lines, they will together meet sometimes and If they do then let them show, what seasons new from this will grow So I say come follow me, into the arms, of destiny, Only calm tranquillity, and all your troubles are set free. Are you calling? Hear you calling?
