ARISTOCRATS OF THE SOUTH SEAS

Thy Will Be Done Wiliam Topley / Luke Brighty

You call it anyway Your light would shine so bright A flower brought to life You say it's good to see the western wind make sail The light's already gone I'm on my way, I'm on my way You say a strong man needs to see the other side To sit beside the fire I'm on my way, I’m on my way You take it You want it You win my love Thy will be done Thy will be strong Thy will be gone You say it's good for me to see you with another one Your precious flower brought to life beneath some heathen sun The Eastern sky prepares your sails for another run I'm on my way I'm on my way You say a strong man ought to learn to see the other side To sit with savages beside a eucalyptus fire To hold the stories of a thousand nights inside his mind I'm on my way, I'm on my way She left you staked out under mad southern skies Church bells are ringing out those Pentecostal changes The choir is raving 'bout some absolutist nothing Thy will be done Thy will be gone You know I'll call it one sweet day And I'll be home some day But for now I'm on my way But I call it anyway

Catherine William Topley

I like a little bit of Muddy Waters Too much strong stuff drives a man insane I like to hum a bar of soul survivor But I ain’t dippin' in the bag again I like a little bit of John Lee Hooker Too much loving drives a man insane I like to taste a little Holy Water But I just stepped out for some French champagne I've been running all my life Set adrift in storm and strife I been keelhauled and missed the trips ashore I don't want to settle down You won't miss me when I'm gone I've been broken on the wheel by Catherine I like a little bit of' Bonzo Bonham Kick and snare are playing quarter time I used to rattle with sweet Virginia But I can't afford her all the time I been running all my life Set adrift in storm and strife I been keelhauled and locked up in the brig I’m not going to settle down You don't miss me when I'm gone I've been broken on the wheel by Catherine Sweet loving time I like a little bit of Robert Johnson The strangest hand to ever touch guitar Using English like a force of nature Laid low by Ladies in a seedy bar I like a little bit of Sleepy Estes Deep Ellum blossom in the Dixie rain I like a little bit of Fury Lewis A Bourbon Chaser and damp c***ine

I Believe In Love William Topley / Mark Taylor

Ain't no need to hide Ain't no needto run Woman by my side, is where you do belong You act so hard on yourself You just won't blame no one else You say I believe in love And all the fire she may bring Ain't no need to turn There’s nothing to deny Feels right just where it is You know you don't have to try You act so troubled inside You never stop to think twice Say I believe in love And all the fires she may bring Woman by my side Lord that's where you gonna be 'Cos I believe in love I've felt all the fires she may bring But woman by my side Lord is where you gonna be Ain't no need to smile Lord there ain't no need to frown Because the space beside me angel Is space you already own You act so hard on yourself You just wont blame no one else You know everything I want now angel I find inside your love I believe in love I've felt all the fires she can bring Woman by my side is where you gonna be

Purple Residue William Topley / Luke Brighty

Well I ought to know You get at the cream the cat is gonna want to know How I want to roar That state of the dogs wailing outside your door You kind of wore my heart out cheating and it is over now Came to define that sound so blue You leave your down and dirty burning purple residue How can I ever live up or pray to God above Or hide me from the Naiads of the southern comfort inn? Slow don’t lose your ride Woman where you going tonight? Hey you got to learn to let it go Gonna be rolling down that road alone How can I ever live up or pray to God above Orhide me from the Circe of the red roof inn How can I ever live up | I'm on the avenue of shattered dreamers Hide me from the Naiadsof the southern comfort inn? Mama come take me down the river I want to wash my soul in the water Well I ought to know You get at the cream the cat is going to want to know But I won't ever change The set of my heart will always be the same Mama come take me down the river I want to wash my soul in the water Come on and take me down to the river You know I want to wash my soul in the water

Don't Bring Nothing William Topley / Mark Taylor

Rome is calling on the wire tonight Don’t bring nothing just leave at first light Rank and number in this velvet night Leave no traces back down the line

Hear the sirens calling out your name From past recesses deep within your brain You were the heart and soul of me It's draining away now

Don't repeat it just commit to mind A last call to colours in the black of the night Weary traces of desire in your vein, Don’t say nothing don't call here again

Faces trapped inside a silver frame Like leaves are bent in shame against the rain Ain't no point in hiding from, avoiding, or deciding on your fate

Hear the sirens calling out your name The past excesses cheapening your reign You were the heart and soul of me It's draining away now

Throw Me A Line William Topley / Luke Brighty

When you are lost and lonely I'm less homely angel And I will bring you love But if it's all just pain and tears of rage I will stay alone

Just throw me a line 'Cos it feels like I'm falling in Just give me a sign, 'Cos it's sink or swim And you know I'm sinking

Well if the night is too warm You can change your gown angel And I will bring you love But if you drive in vain Through tears of rage I will stay alone

Just throw me a line 'Cos it feels like I'm falling in Just give me a sign, 'Cos it's sink or swim And you know I'm sinking Just throw me a bone, 'Cos it feels like I'm breaking down Canton Mississippi breakdown Just give me a sign

And I'll be back around But you know I’m moving on

I won't stand you up I don't care what people say I won't turn you loose On my knees I pray

Seems when you are lost and lonely I'm less homely angel And I may bring you love

Last ToKnow William Topley / Dominic Miller

How am I gonna make it right? Whichever way the wind blows I'll be alone tonight How am I gonna start again? Turning on a country road in the morning rain How am I gonna bring it home? Whichever way the storm breaks I'll be the last to know How am I going to talk you down? You seek the heat of summer as the parade goes round I hope you make it on your own

Don’t look down I hear you sigh Don't look back Don't you cry I said it don't matter anymore I know you don't you love me that's for sure

How I'm gonna make it right? Turning on a country road in the morning light How am I gonna bring it home? Whichever way the wind blows I'll be the last to know I hope you make it on your own

Persuasive in the evening But lost in the morning light Lost to the morning bright I hope you make it on your own

How am I gonna make it right? Whichever way the storm breaks I'll be alone tonight

Tough Love William Topley / David Saw

You put a hole inside this heart of mine Round about 7 a.m. Sitting up drinking with one of my loveless friends Down and dirty I was all alone Getting nothing from the telephone Burnt carpets and blood for my hotel room

You've got try just a little bit You've got to lie just a little bit That's love Tough love You've got to try just a little bit You might make her cry just a little bit more But at least this time you'll be sure That it’s you that she hungers for That it's you that she's crying for

7 states and we'd been on the run Just about ahead of the starting gun Mile markers flash in my eyes round 5a.m. I didn't expect very much of you I guessed at what you'd want to do with me too But don't you go telling no tales 'Cos we're not even friends
