Dawning Of The Day (Jim Moginie)
It was a compromise
It was worthy of the wise
We were moving through decay
It was an atmosphere
No hate and no fear
It was the dawning of the day
Give your impressions of the girl
And does she cartwheel round your world
Is she the sand that made the pearl
Give your impressions of the girl
We grew a thicker skin
Blood still flows within
It held a beating heart
It was the old catch cry
Better than second prize
It was the dawning of the day
Won’t you tell me what you see
Give your impressions of the girl
And does she cartwheel round your world
On windswept mountains, wandering
Give your impressions of the girl
Won’t you slip into the water wearing nothing
Won’t you take me to the master of your treehouse
Won’t you put me back together your way
Custom made in your own image just to please you
Ricochet off alabaster if I need to
In the morning we will know, we will comprehend
Give your impressions of the girl
She stands up high with flag unfurled
She comes to fly the canyon plane
Give your impressions of the girl

Traitor (Moginie)
One day I will see through you
One day I will
Something lurks beneath your smile
One day I’ll know it for what it really is
Traitor, are you a traitor
Hiding in the cloistered halls
Traitor are you the traitor
‘Cause no one’s gonna come for you
One day I will choose a side
One day I will
Judas, quisling, turncoat, snake
One day I’ll know you
For what you really are
Traitor are you a traitor
Hanging from the city walls
So tell me, are you the traitor
Cause no one’s gonna run to you
No one’s gonna come for you

Say Goodbye Vera Lynn (Moginie)
Well I live beneath a mountain
And I am happy there
I’m surrounded by my possessions
All the thing I love are there
When you left I walked through the door
The house was empty I fell to the floor
Say goodbye Vera Lynn
So I sat beneath the mountain
And pondered what I knew
You cut me hard, you said you don’t look back
Fair play to me, fair play to you
When the first rain came you ran to higher ground
A silent thunderclap there was no warning sound
Say goodbye Vera Lynn
I heard the stream run to the ocean
I heard the lyrebird say your name
The dealer must have dealt from the bottom
All I held was emptiness and pain
The funny thing these things never end
Maybe some sunny day We will meet again
Say goodbye Vera Lynn

In the morning when I call your name (Moginie/Neil Murray)
I miss you
In the morning when I call your name
I miss you
In the morning when you call my name
I need you
When I must face another day
Without you
Things don’t fit the frame
I’m outta shape
Running into walls and balustrades
‘Why why
You felt you had to go when I loved you so
There’s no answer
It happened that’s all
And I would be so happy to find you smiling at my door
You felt you had to go away
No blame no shame no recriminations or pain
Let’s pick up the beat again and play it over and over
’Til it shines
Clear and golden
Like it was before
In the morning or afternoon
Finding new ways to kiss you
In the long day and night like spoons we stayed
In the morning when I call your name
In the morning when I call your name
When I must face another day

One by One (Moginie)
One by One all souls must fall
Before the armies of the heart
Two by Two the animals
They find their way onto the ark
Won’t you come back home
Won’t you come back home
One by One the ships will sail
Out to edge of some strange world
Two by Two we stand as one
Alone
Won’t you come back home
Won’t you come back home
Oh I heard the mopoke cry
It sounded like the winds of change
The sound of his sad lonesome song
Made me feel lonesome too
Won’t you come back home
Won’t you come back home
