In the velvet darkness of the blackest night Burning bright, there’s a guiding star No matter what or who you are There’s a light over at the Frankenstein Place There’s a light burning in the fireplace There’s a light, light in the darkness of everybody’s life I can see the flag fly, I can see the rain Just the same, there has got to be Something better here for you and me There’s a light over at the Frankenstein Place There’s a light burning in the fireplace There’s a light, light in the darkness of everybody’s life ---

I know that now it’s so hard to see But in time you’ll find, the light, waiting Boundless and barren oceans surround But when it’s darkest, you’ll see the light You must open your eyes Then you’ll know that the thunder only crashes awhile And the storm clouds will pass soon Then you’ll see that the lighthouse waits for you The lighthouse waits ---

Play of light A photograph The way I used to be Some half forgotten stranger Doesn’t mean that much to me Trick of light Moving picture Moments caught in flight Make the shadows darker Or the colors shine too bright Oh the light can carry All the visions of the sea Oh the light can carry All the images to me Run to light from shadow Sun gives me no rest Promise offered in the east Broken in the west Chase the sun around the world I want to look at life In the available light ---

‘Bang!’ goes another kanga On the bonnet of the van. “See the light ram through the gaps in the land.” Many an Aborigine’s mistaken for a tree 'Til you near him on the motorway And the tree begin to breathe. “See the light ram through the gaps in the land.” (“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha”) Coming in with the golden light In the morning. Coming in with the golden light Is the New Man. Coming in with the golden light Is my dented van. Woomera. “Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee- A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- I-i-i-i-i- Me-me-me-me-me,” ---

Travelling in a fried-out Kombi On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said: “Do you come from a land down under, Where women glow and men plunder? Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover.” Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscle I said, “Do you speak-a my language?” He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich And he said: “I come from a land down under! Where beer does flow and men chunder. Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover.” ---

Rock on, gold dust woman Take your silver spoon and dig your grave Heartless challenge Pick your path and I’ll pray Wake up in the morning See your sunrise loves to go down Lousy lovers pick their prey But they never cry out loud, cry out Well, did she make you cry, Make you break down, Shatter your illusions of love? And is it over now? Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home? ---
