Fun Park Fugitives (from "Banter" compilation)

Does she remember the 4th of December? 
She wants to sacrifice her Summer with me 
Let's start the car and head for the Fun Parks
We don't pay admission, we're sneaking in        

Match made on a security camera
There's fake stamps on our wrists
When we're on the inside
There's a gravatron and a waterslide
Like the sign says: "too much fun for just one day"

To you it might seem trivial
But if I must be a criminal in comfort 
I'll find that she's my partner in crime

Look like a ghost on the rollercoaster
Your fingernail marks are fading on my arm
Yeah, we had our ups and downs
But when we were upside down
The coins fell from my pockets like silver rain 

To you it might seem trivial 
But if I must be a criminal in comfort
I'll find that she's my partner in crime 

There's no other place we should be
So from our heads down to our sneakers 
We're natural born thrill seekers
Her mind is willing but my stomach is weak
Once we got caught and I got angry
I promised myself I'd never be that way again

There's no other place we should be
So where your hand ends my hand starts
We're fugitives in the funpark
Where your hand ends my hand starts
We're fugitives in the funpark
Where your hand starts my hand ends
You promised that we'd always be the best of friends
You said we'd never be the worst of friends 

Hello Stranger

Hiccups

Some day without trying you'll find something that's rare
Like an eight letter word on a triple word score
'Cause I knew a girl who thrived on second hand news
She wore clips in her hair and judged boys by their shoes

A thousand ideas i try to tell crossword girl
how do I get one accross when you're always two(too) down?
And if things get hard will you throw in the pen?

Eli Wallach

I've only known you for an hour
So I'd prefer you didn't die just yet

Punk's Not Dead 

She answered our ad wanted
We had a vacancy
She didn't know what was in store
But we were soon to see
Now she plays records of The Foreskins (or insert band name here)
At any given hour
She turns on the hot water tap
While I'm in the shower
And at night the house is quiet
You might wonder why...

But Punk's not dead
She's just gone to bed
Punk's not dead
She's just gone to bed

I couldn't give a fuck about 
The friends of mine she'll scare
Some people just can't see past studs 
And bleach-blonde spiky hair
I say "A for Abba" 
She says "A for Anarchy"
In the morning she says "Never mind the Bollocks,
"Here's your cup of tea"
And at night the house is quiet
You might wonder why...

But Punk's not dead
She's just gone to bed
Punk's not dead
She's just gone to bed

I pass her in the kitchen
She's got a long-neck in her hand 
She's playing me a dictaphone 
Recording of her band
The drummer has been playing
For nearly seven hours
But he hits them with such passion 
It makes other drummers cower
And when the night has come
All safety pins must come undone...

And if the house is quiet
Well that's because Punk's retired for the night
If the house is quiet
Well Punk's retired for the night
Yeah, she's retired for the night
If the house is quiet 
Well that's because tonight...
There's one little punk rock girl
Who's dead to the world.

Danielle (From Simpletons "Light a Candle" EP)
 
I remember seeing you for the first time
In grade one
You had your hair in pigtails
Mine was cut with a basin
It was Saint Patrick's on the hill
Our parents did enlist 
When you first spoke to me
I nearly choked on my jam sandwhich

You were the dux and I was the dunce
I thought all my little lunches
Had come at once

Danielle, Danielle
Our conversations were dictated by the bell
Danielle

We did the progressive barn dance
At the Primary School Ball
Armed with two clammy hands and a pair of left feet
I circled the Science Hall
The chance for me to ask you to be
My friend would soon be gone
By the time I plucked up my courage
I heard a voice say "Pass your partners on"

I'm now inclined to say
That like my asthma, you took my breath away.

Danielle, Danielle
My palms were as sweaty as hell
Danielle

But I guess in those days 
You had to be careful of getting girl germs
If a girl tried to hold my hand I'd probably panic
And give her a Chinese Burn

And so the years rolled by and didn't seem to stop
Our milk containers were exchanged for bottles of Passion Pop
Our friends would help us drink them down the park in the trees
Our nights at the Railway Hotel are still so clear in my memory

Memory, memory

And I remember your birthday - 21 years
I didn't turn up just because I heard your Dad
Was putting on free beer.
We gathered there your friends and me to sing
To sing:

Danielle, Danielle
We wish you well
Danielle

21 years, 21 years
21 years old.
