Julie your name is in it now but you don't make the board of this kind of company to tip toe around to win yourself any friends no if you have to roll heads you'll roll them you know why you were brought in you knew how you would be drawn but you're not a cartoon villian, no Julie when you were starting out you gave them every idea you had they took them gladly, paying you badly and you learnt back in the provinces they'll put a man ahead of you they'll put his face on your ideas too but you didn't complain you just worked your way right into the system, well our people didn't ask for the rules to change our people aren't afraid of a little dirt in the name of entertainment Julie you saved me when you put me on the screen I had become a great sportsman stranded on fledgling teams you were the one to convince me to take the money sell any dream that could be used against me so I didn't wait for the injuries to take me, well our people didn't ask for an interview our people aren't afraid of some higher minded truth just entertainment I was just a kid with a perfect kicking leg and what passed for an education you gave me a shot and I'll always remember that

Ask her what she'd like to be and she stares at her hands ten million years passing by in my mind the suspension in the arches of her feet the development of her spine that led her to stand with two free hands and so many of these kids they are like seals on the land they feel the beauty of their movements in a sea that won't let them breathe and here she stands with her free hands with her two free hands if I could be a biologist not a careers counsellor I’d write the last wish of each species as it left the earth she doesn't want to do harm she doesn't need anything grand at the parent teacher evenings they never understand they wanna know her plans for her free hands for her two free hands
3.
Old Images 04:06
Only looking through old images do I understand she carries albums in her mind from another time when the sun gave light in a different tint her mother wearing hazel print and though some remember doubt and fear she remembers colourful years and I'm not so radical I still have my affinities for the twentieth century I have a driver's license and one day I will drive her to the city that left this mark on me I know our parents dreams were innocent buy a house to shelter a couple of kids and if the world didn't blow up by then they'd grow up to do the same again now she tells me not to blame them for what became their great obsession for open arms that ceased extending or believing the world had finished mending here's a photograph of a young girl looking shyly into the camera wearing a shirt that reads Australia holding a rare butterfly in her hands and I wish that I could visit there be the air around her hear the secrets she might tell then but not now
4.
Bring no history bring no secrets with you we will put nothing at risk spend an evening singing in the war room but leave love out of this and when you're speaking, speak in present tenses stay in a moment that exists the future is irrelevant here the past isn't missed so leave love out of this leave love to someone who believes in it bury your anger tonight bury your frustration bury the signs you may have missed and though it might appear the only answer leave love out of this because revolutions are founded like this for illusions that we could still resist if we could trade emotion for clear mathematics, and leave love out of this leave love to someone who believes in it
5.
Who's going to hear my confession if you're not awake for this call? I used to be able to take on the world alone I used to pride myself on having no allegiance at all but I was mining myself I was mining myself for too long now I'm wondering where my resources have gone when I'm wrong I am wrong and in the language of these cities I can hear all the same themes all the young and talented indentured to their dreams I used to promise we'd never fall victim to those schemes but now I wonder was I right to fight with the stream? you said maybe you'll get what you want maybe not when you want it maybe there isn't a breakthrough you can time when I'm wrong I am wrong well maybe I believe my detractors count myself among the damned but tonight I am their man pretending that I understand and I understand how the loneliness is veiled underneath the thinnest plans because I've tried to disguise this everyway that I can you said maybe you'll get what you want maybe not when you want it maybe at some great cost maybe you won't recognise it oh when I'm wrong I am wrong when I'm wrong trust you to know

Christopher 03:59
Christopher it's true you feel something for her but you should have made that clear when you met her now she's confused what is she supposed to do to keep her friends from turning on her? Christopher you need to own this now now in this time of year when you hear the private planes landing and think of the champion sons the athletes taking their positions it's enough to make you angry with everything but take a step back she has nothing to do with that she just loves a man and let's say he loves her back, well you can't blame chivalry for that however much you claim to have and if you won't wear your true intentions if you must hang on things unsaid what kind of chivalry is that but a myth we must forget? and Christopher it's true you feel something for her maybe you've been a friend to her where ever your motives were but don't believe it's love that makes you feel the way that you feel now Christopher you need to own this now

Difficult for the family now you're living in Japan without our peace broker to sue for long term plans but you found a lasting work saving that country from its cracks here in California they're getting upset at the water flowing back I hear rumours of you your quotations ripple through the news you didn't need to wait long to see your warnings proved did you? come on, say it General MacArthur had a love for the far east so they made him an emperor told him to win the peace yes, we know proclamations oh fine intentions never really plugged a leak you wouldn't be first to come and go leave no mark on the sea but we still wish in secret dreams that you could feel feel what he felt knowing peacetime orders would have been carried out left without a peace to broker you just scuttled the plans yourself tidings of you written into barrels of waves rolling into sea with all you tried to save too late

Mataura Paper Mill words are lost on this waterfall if you search out the photograph you will feel the power it held I went over the bridge to bypass Gore I saw a world we just failed to fight for I came down I couldn't help myself a neighbour drawn to watch the fire but who am I to try to save this town from a toxic ammonia cloud? Mataura Paper Mill hearts are lost in the detail some protest others not at all what greater minds decide to mothball and greater minds will always cross this bridge to give their promise to the council and greater minds always incorporate so that no one can be held responsible Mataura Paper Mill filled with dross from the smelter all things flow in their natural course to leave us with the liquidator but I am here I couldn't help myself a neighbour drawn to watch the fire who were we, left to save this town? from a toxic come on from a toxic ammonia cloud come on

Lockheed Hudson Mark II Bomber from Melbourne to Canberra from the air you wouldn't know that the world is at war just another mild winter the snow surrenders from the highest hills how did you get here? from a dream you left the farm for to the sky you guard boys at your command and this morning you arranged for yourself and the war minister, the chief of staff and the people around you to make the trip in a beautiful new plane from the U.S.A you've been waiting to get your hands on but wait until Canberra to talk about the war leave until Canberra all that's looming over when you were twenty years old and shot down only a buggered arm to tell you knew it couldn't always end so well meeting the ground but once you have your wings it's hard to keep your head down you ran for office in your district you put an airstrip on the farm and you taught your brother to fly he taught his wife and she flew them on a sunday in thirty five right into the ground now you look at this perfect machine it took another war to give it its wings and you've got boys in England ready to do anything like you were when you were seventeen take this young pilot, he calls you sir he says the landing is hard to do but if you wanted the controls he would do as you tell him to and who knows if you asked for the controls? what will you see, what will you see when the plane comes down? you believe in God but you really fear the ground and it calls you now
