We’re the Bunburys.
You’re a Bunbury too.
When you’re living in a world of Bunburys,
Tears don’t fall and dreams come true.
When you’re a Bunbury,
fly the Bunbury way.
Everybody want to be a Bunbury.
Don’t delay, don’t delay.
The test of your life.
Fly away, fly, fly away.
Everybody wants to be a Bunbury.
Don’t delay, don’t delay.

You can dream.
You can dream about your island paradise.
There have been
so many dreams for you.
Ain’t that nice but you can’t go.
You can send your mother to say hello
to the blue sky and the blue sea,
to see those palm trees swaying
all those starry nights,
all those sunny days.
And you can hear them singing,
their voices ringing across the bay.

We’re the Bunburys.
You’re a Bunbury too.
Everybody wants to be a Bunbury
to make all your dreams come true.
For the rest of your life.
Fly away, fly, fly away.
Everybody wants to be a Bunbury.
Don’t delay, don’t delay.

We are one.
We complete our mission well.
We’ve gotta be a team
on a life crusade
‘cause you never can tell
when somebody needs your help.
What a place of wonder
that the world can be
for the young girls and the young boys.
I still can hear those palm trees swaying
all those starry nights,
all those sunny days.
And you can hear them singing,
their voices ringing across the bay.

Join us, rest of your life, everybody.
Join us, everybody, everybody.
Join us, rest of your life, everybody.
Join us, everybody, everybody.

Everybody want to be a Bunbury
to make all your dreams come true.

You’re a Bunbury.
I’m a Bunbury too.
Everybody wants to be a Bunbury
to make all your dreams come true.
For the rest of your life.
Fly away (We’re the Bunburys).
Fly, fly away (You’re a Bunbury too).
Fly away.

 We must have lost the road.
Don’t you think it’s getting late?
Maybe if it’s colder,
we can stop and wait.
 
We must have lost the words,
all the little things we said.
And now the world is frozen.
Only you in my head.
 
Aah, we lost the road.
Aah, we lost the road.
Aah, we lost the road.
Aah, we lost the road.
 
We must have lost the tune.
Where did I step out of line?
I’ll search for the melody
that calls you mine.
 
Aah, we lost the road.
Aah, we lost the road.
Aah, we lost the road.
Aah, we lost the road.
 
Aah, we lost the road (we lost the road, we lost the road, yeah).

This is where I came in
(2001)
 

We both acknowledge what we came here for.
We take each other and walk through the open door.
From the first time that I saw you
to the way you look tonight
I was shaken by your spirit,
I was blinded by your light.

And the world that I used to see is gone without a trace,
replaced by your eyes and the smile upon your face.
And I will not turn away
‘cause you might disappear.
I was haunted by your heart
and I felt that you were here.

And funny when the time is right,
when lightning strikes,
you’re not alone.
Baby, I will pray for you my whole life through
this day.

We’ll be together,
husband and wife,
now and forever,
the rest of our lives.
Well, take me to heaven (ah),
take me tonight (ah).
There is nothing words can say
on this our wedding day.

Oh, now is the hour, now is the sowing of the seed,
I will take tomorrow,
I will lay it at your feet.
And the two of us escape from the sadness of the world,
from the thunder and the darkness,
from the hunger and the hurt.

You know I will remember well the mission bell
that rings your name.
And baby there could never be
a memory like you.

We’ll be together (ah),
husband and wife (ah),
now and forever (ah),
lovers for life (oh).
Well, take me to heaven (ah),
take me tonight (ah).
There is nothing words can say
on this our wedding day.

This is my pledge to you.
I will follow through to the end.
And we will find another plane.
We’ll be home again.
And tonight I’m going to find true love, true love.

We’ll be together,
husband and wife,
now and forever,
lovers for life.
Well, take me to heaven (ah),
take me tonight (ah).
There is nothing words can say
on this our wedding day,
this our wedding day.

 It’s your eyes:

Makes me freeze.

To concentrate.

We can lift a mountain.
We can cross the sea.
We can have the world exclusively.
If you hear the sound of a symphony in C,
We can hold along this love in key.

When you’re walking alone
in the heat of the night
and you see it’s a sign
of the times.
When the walls that divide
you are tumbling down
and we’re stronger in
body and mind.

And I know at a glance
it’s a a prison of love.
And I don’t stand a chance.
And you know that it’s wrong
when you say it’s okay.
So I know where I stand.

We are atomic,
we are fire.
Lightning striking me by the hour.
We are atomic.
Love struggle to be in a world
without end.

Do you still cry out loud
at the sound of her name?
Or is she just a face in the crowd?
Well, I suffered enough in
your tower of shame.
But somehow you just made me believe.

And I tremble and shake.
It’s so hard to escape.
And it’s strangling me.
And the voices I hear are
like ghosts in the night.
And they’re calling to me.

We are atomic,
we are fire.
Lightning striking me by the hour.
We are atomic.
Love struggle to be in a world
without end.
 
We are atomic,

Lightning striking me by the hour.

I’m floating on a cloud and I can’t come down.
It feels just like a dream.

You own the love that somebody shares.
You should be with me, spending your time.
Loving me, loving me now.
Holding me only, but now.

I’m just watching the hours go by.
Nothing to do but cry.
Now you are gone.
I should be glad.
But I love you only.
So that’s why I’m sad.

Go to your baby, don’t make him cry.
Each time you kiss him, remember I die.
Walls are my neighbors, shadows my friends.
Keeping me, watching me there.
All of the things we shared.

I’m just watching the hours go by.

Even our love becomes a master plan, and so I..

…I think I’m walking on air.
So much in love I can’t tell what I’m saying.
There’ll be no running away.

You and I won’t be apart again.
I know in my heart that we can start again.

Wait for the summer
when love’s in the air.
You won’t be sorry.
You answered my prayer.

I see the games that you play.
And I don’t care what the people are saying.
No other love can compare.

Just to hold you in my arms again
I feel like walking on air.
And just to dream you’ll be there keeps me going.
And all those days go by.

We will never be apart again,
knowing our love will never die.

Wait for the summer
when love’s in the air.
We’ll be together this time of the year.

We will never be apart again,
knowing our love will never die.

Here comes the summer
with love in the air (love in the air).
You won’t be sorry.
You answered my prayer (answered my prayer).

Here comes the summer
and everyone’s here (everyone’s here).
We will be sailing
through year after year (year after year).

You know I’m walking on air.

 I wish there was another year, another time
when people sang and poems rhymed.
My name could be Napoleon.
A thousand ships.
A windy sail, so huge and high,
it’s tall enough to touch the sky.
It’s beautiful but hard to find.
But I just wasn’t born in time.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street,
you can get a good seat at the end.

I can dream
of growing trees and things that live
and grass that’s green
in meadows that have never been.
But I still place my trust in the Queen.

What is life
when a man is pressured
based on wrong or right?
And I don’t know what it means.
There must be more we haven’t seen.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street,
you can get a good seat at the end.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street,
you can get a good seat at the end

Walking back to Waterloo again.

If there’s a time I feel downhearted
I close my eyes and I see you there.
Shower me, my precious love,
With all the good things two people can share.

When it seems like the sky is falling
I need you near me so desperately
‘cause we forget so easily
all the magic two people can be.

Being lonely makes it oh so hard for me to carry on.
Oh, though I know you’re so far away,
I’m reaching for you, needing you both night and day.

Sometimes a man finds out too late
that life slips by each moment we live,
‘cause we don’t know how rare it is
all the loving two people can give.

And though I know you’re so far away,
I’m reaching for you, needing you both night and day.

If there’s a time I feel downhearted
I close my eyes and I see you there.
Shower me, my precious love,

Tell me the answer
in your changing mind,

I don’t know
if love can last.
 
When time is gone
and we are on the roundabout,
would you still laugh
and be a clown
when love runs out?
 
Or will you say that I
am reaching too high?

 I’m not the one in search of friction.
I’m not the one to look for fights.
When it gets down to me and you
I think it over twice.
 
We sing the same song
with it all subject to change.
There is another place in time, girl.
You and I will meet again.
 
I saw the signs I never knew.
Didn’t have enough on you to follow through?
Call it innocent or guilty.
Inside you, it’s still me.
 
Ooh, whose word you gonna take?
Whose heart you gonna break?
Not mine.
If I believe your true confessions
I’m never gonna make it.
You know you hurt me for the very last time.
 
I need you, darling, and it tears me apart.
And if someone comes between us
it’s the death of my heart,
it’s the death of my heart.
 
I think about you and I paint a picture.
You wanna love above the law.
And you got a taste for adventure.
It’s what you’re living for.
 
We say the same lies.
Anyone to crucify.
We’re the victims of the same sensations.
I can be as bad as you.
 
I step aside, you can understand.
I won’t stand in the way but I will if I can.
Not to be your judge and jury.
It’s still you inside me.
 
Ooh, whose word you gonna take?
Whose heart you gonna break?
Not mine.
If I believe your true confessions
I’m never gonna make it.
You know you hurt me for the very last time.
 
I need you, darling, and it tears me apart.
And if someone comes between us
it’s the death of my heart,
it’s the death of my heart.
 
My gun is loaded and I’m ready for war.
I come and get you and I kick down the door.
There’s no way, I can’t let you leave.
I’m not working for the enemy. Ah.
 
Ooh, whose word you gonna take?

Trash, I love it.
 
You see I wasn’t born with much
‘Cept the sun and the moon and such,
 So I handle it all carefully.
Trash is everything to me.
 
The busted strings and ragged ends,
The broken things that no one mends.
Trash, I love it.
 
The schemes that only last a day,
The games I’m just too old to play.
Trash, I love it.
 
But when I feel I’m wearing thin,
Regretting things that might have been,
I settle down quite peaceably.
Trash is everything to me.
 
Sometimes I think I’d like to fly,
Touch a star or reach the sky.
Trash, I love it.
 
But every dream that slips away
The fact that gets me through the day
Trash, I love it.
 
It’s not that I don’t understand,
But when the great things that I’ve planned
Just get wrecked eventually,
 Trash, it’s everything to me.
