WERSET:
From this chair I see the sun
Z tego krzesła widzę słońce
Bathe me in shadows of Commission flats.
Wykąp mnie w cieniach mieszkań Komisji.
Though the cold does touch my arm,
Choć zimno dotyka mojego ramienia,
I turn to face the fire on telly.
Odwracam się w stronę ognia w telewizji.
A generation with our hands in blood,
Pokolenie z rękami we krwi,
Like all the generations gone before,
Podobnie jak wszystkie poprzednie pokolenia,
And though we thought we learnt our lessons,
I chociaż myśleliśmy, że wyciągnęliśmy wnioski,
It seems we learnt them too well.
Wygląda na to, że nauczyliśmy się ich zbyt dobrze.
So darling share this wine with me.
Więc kochanie, podziel się ze mną tym winem.
We'll be together on the eve of World War III
Będziemy razem w przededniu III wojny światowej
And will the children that have grown so high
I będą to dzieci, które urosły tak wysoko
In the back of our minds - slip through our fingers like oil.
Z tyłu głowy - prześlizgujemy się między palcami jak olej.

I think I must have seen a thousand films
Myślę, że widziałem z tysiąc filmów
Where all the boys come back from Vietnam
Gdzie wszyscy chłopcy wracają z Wietnamu
And when they said they'd purged their conscience,
A kiedy powiedzieli, że oczyścili swoje sumienie,
For a second I thought they meant it.
Przez chwilę myślałem, że właśnie to mieli na myśli.
So in the congress hear them plead,
Więc w Kongresie usłysz ich błaganie,
And try and carve their words in history
I spróbuj wyryć ich słowa w historii
Though we all fear the loss of life,
Chociaż wszyscy boimy się utraty życia,
Our leaders fear the rise in global petrol prices.
Nasi przywódcy obawiają się wzrostu światowych cen benzyny.
So darling share this wine with me.
Więc kochanie, podziel się ze mną tym winem.
We'll be together on the eve of World War III
Będziemy razem w przededniu III wojny światowej
And will the children that have grown so high
I będą to dzieci, które urosły tak wysoko

While you'd sing
Podczas gdy ty śpiewałeś
With eyes so close together
Z oczami tak blisko siebie
We focus in different directions,
Koncentrujemy się w różnych kierunkach,
Hey we look the same
Hej, wyglądamy tak samo
But not the same way,
Ale nie w ten sam sposób,
Same way at all.
W ogóle w ten sam sposób.
With summer painted 'cross the sky,
Z latem namalowanym „na niebie,
I see this child do laps around his sheltered life
Widzę, jak to dziecko krąży po swoim chronionym życiu

Such lofted dreams fill his head
Takie wzniosłe sny wypełniają mu głowę

He thinks he talks with God
Myśli, że rozmawia z Bogiem
He thinks he reads the future
Myśli, że czyta przyszłość

Podczas gdy ojciec przysięgał, że musimy utrzymać brzeg

I vow I will dream of Heidelberg.
Przysięgam, że będę śnił o Heidelbergu.

want to play it right too. As far as the 'solo'(if thats what you'd call it)
też chcę to dobrze rozegrać. Jeśli chodzi o „solo” (jeśli tak to można nazwać)
goes, don't hasle too much about the D note running through it. If you're
tak, nie przejmuj się zbytnio przebiegającą przez niego nutą D. Jeśli jesteś
playing in a group, it won't be missed (in fact, I don't think TOSAW worry
grając w grupie, na pewno tego nie przegapicie (właściwie nie sądzę, żeby TOSAW się martwił
about it much when they play it live anyway). Otherwise you can just get the

WRAPPED
Things of Stone and Wood
Timing: 4/4
INTRO:
I watched the lights go out in your eyes,
I felt the love seep out of my life,
I saw the truths we etched in stone,
I watched them blow away like sand.
I saw the anger in your smile,
I felt your hate still burn on naked flesh,
I saw you swear upon your lie,
I kissed the scars and they have burned my lips.
You say you've seen it all,
But what can you show,
You've got you're hate,
Wrapped around you.
You've got you're hate,
Wrapped around you.
I heard the love professed for all,
I saw it locked inside your front door,
I heard your blessings like the sun,
I felt the loathing deep within your touch
You say you've seen it all,
But what can you show,
You've got you're hate,
Wrapped around you.
You've got you're hate,
Wrapped around you.
[ Instrumental - mainly harmonica
A C D D (harmonica starts here
]
You say you've seen it all,
But what can you show,
You've got you're hate,
Wrapped around you.
You've got you're hate,
Wrapped around you.
You've got you're hate,
(You've got you're promises,
You've got you're promises,
What are they worth)
You've got you're hate,
(You've got you're promises,
You've got you're promises,
What are they worth)
With the riff part of 'A C D', it usually goes back to a C,
more as a ghost note than anything - add it in here and there
if you think it's worth it.
THE YEARNING
Things of Stone and Wood
In parts of this song, I've broken the chords up into separate
measures - easier to write, easier to read.
I've labelled them as such
A* A&&
D* D&&
INTRO -
A* A&& A&&
The stars will dwarf me,
And the winds will scatter me,
A D&& A*
And the earth will have me at last.
I weep upon my own grave,
I (will) cry for grief,
I (will) cry for love,
I will cry from guilt.
And so I must ask the unanswerable.
Why?
And I must ask the unanswerable.
It's in the hand that heals,
It's in the hand that blesses,
It's in the hand that kills,
It's in the hand that seeks redemption,
By gently stroking the bruises of it's fury's crimes.
This is the search for a god,
This is the horror of mortality,
This is the shadow of death tormenting me,
This is the yearning for more,
The yearning for more than this,
I yearn
I yearn
I yearn

There is a high possibility of there being mistakes in the transcription
of this song - if you find one, please let me know or post up a repaired
version, this is more of a starter than a complete transcription.
SINGLE PERFECT RAINDROP
Things of Stone and Wood
Timing: 4/4
During singing, the G chord is played in an arpegio fashion,
during the viola part it's strummed. I'm not a great fan of
this song, so I haven't put too much work into transcribing it
- sorry if you do like it.
Well I wander round this mind amidst the
Ruins of a lonely child,
I used to think I talked with spirits
Now I think I talk with crooks,
And I wonder if I ever did
Anything good at all.
Ever.
So I lie awake at night and vow
I'm not going to think about.
I've got self deception tattooed like a flag across my back,
Holding hands with war-mongers I feel I've been betrayed,
Though I dance in luxury without her I'll die of thirst,
She's a single perfect raindrop,
When she falls she takes my breath away.
Well I advertise the scars of middle classness
Like a shiny piece of junkmail,
I've inherited the meanness
Like a dinnerset kept for family gatherings,
But she will scream and tell me all the
Magic in her magic life,
We will laugh at how I'm scared of
Everything that moves lest it crash
Into me or with me in it.
I've got self deception tattooed like a flag across my back,
Holding hands with war-mongers I feel I've been betrayed,
Though I dance in luxury without her I'll die of thirst,
She's a single perfect raindrop,
When she falls she takes my breath away.
Ah ..... What a dissapointment this would all be
Ah ..... What a dissapointment.
'Cause I've got self deception tattooed like a flag across my back,
Holding hands with war-mongers I feel I've been betrayed,
Though I dance in luxury without her I'll die of thirst,
She's a single perfect raindrop,
When she falls she takes my breath away.
IN OUR HOME
Things of Stone and Wood
The intro isn't definitive, it's just a guide - I usually play it different
every time. The chords during the verses etc. are played in the same general
fashion.
INTRO:
RPT THROUH
Your sisters golden hair now falls
across the bed we called our own
She holds her fella tight they mock
C G5 (*Fill#1)
the isolation of the night
Every loving laugh I've known is now a
G5 D (*Fill#2)
match between my lids
The night is long since you have gone
From our home
Can you feel me can you feel me
As I reach to touch you in the night
I'd run to you now if I could,
G5 D (*Fill#2)
But it's a dream my limbs are still
The night plays tricks on me since you have gone
From our home
So I will hide beneath the whispering trees
I'll kiss you in my memory
We walk atop these hills of sand
See how you soothe this shaking drunken hand.
Beneath the burning sun
G5 D (*Fill#2)
I felt us melting into one
A year ago when you were here
In our home
So I will raise my voice to the north-bound wind
In the morning you will hear me sing
A breeze to soothe your fitful rest
You'll hold this ghost song to your chest
You'll cross the desert, cross the seas
For a second you will lie with me
You'll lie with me You'll lie with me
In our home.
INTRO - no repeat
FILLS
*Fill#1 *Fill#2
THEY WON'T KNOW WHY
Things of Stone and Wood
Timing: 4/4
INTRO:
Our eyes will wander across this vacant wall,
Stumble across the dusty floor,
And we will hide beneath this blanket full of holes,
Through which the cold has crawled
Its way into our bones
And we will fly into the Winter's night,
Our tears will crystallise,
And they will rain upon the frozen earth
And people will smile when they stumble across them shining,
They won't know why,
They won't know why.
INSTRUMNTL
Helby Baby, Tell me can you see,
We're gonna soar, we're gonna be free,
Nothing they can do can touch us now,
Nothing they can do can touch us now.
We're gonna soar amongst the universe,
We're gonna be freer than the birds.
We're gonna fly out where the sun won't shine,
Shining down on everyone.
And we will fly into the Winter's night,
Our tears will crystallise,
And they will rain upon the frozen earth
And people will smile when they stumble across them shining,
They won't know why,
They won't know why.
They'll feel a glowing in their hearts,
Feel a glowing in their hearts,
They won't know why,
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
They'll feel it shooting up their arms,
They'll feel it explode across their minds like song.
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
INSTRUMNTL
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
And we will fly into the Winter's night,
Our tears will crystallise,
And they will rain upon the frozen earth
And people will smile when they stumble across them shining,
They won't know why,
They won't know why.
And we will fly into the Winter's night,
Our tears will crystallise,
And they will rain upon the frozen earth
And people will smile when they stumble across them shining,
They won't know why,
They won't know why.
IS THIS WHERE I MUST LIE
Things of Stone and Wood
Timing: 4/4
The harmonica part of this song is played through a
'Wah' pedal - I think they sometimes also use a
distortion pedal, like in 'Hand Grenade'.
INTRO:
(Played on Bass)
**Bass line is played
This land once scarred right through verse**
With song suffocates,
Beneath this deathly sheet of plastic,
That we call our home.
Australia -
What have we done
Cm Bb Cm Eb Bb **Chords played on
Ab F Ab Bb amplified steel string -
continue through verses -
Cm Bb Cm Eb Bb same rhythm as bass**
The ancient voices
Silenced by the hum,
By the fury of this emptyness,
(It is) A tuneless song sung with precision,
A poem dead without meaning,
(It is) A love that never new passion -
A body without a heart.
What have we done.
Is this where I must lie.
Is this where I must lie.
Is this where I must lie.
I have seen the other side.
The crimes run in our blood,
They shadow every step,
Step lightly my friends,
Won't you paint my face in ochre and truth,
Won't you scar my chest with wisdom,
Won't you fill my head with dreams,
Won't you bury me,
Bury me deep.
Is this where I must lie.
Is this where I must lie.
Is this where I must lie.
I have seen the other side.

MY PRAYER

Timing: 3/4
INTRO:
Play FILL #1 twice.
VERSE:
**Play (FILL #1) once for each line**
How
I
Remember the day
She danced to the rocks there at Eden
Oh Oh Oh Oh .... (BASS ENTERS)
(Play FILL #1 twice)
Still
I
See the man and his tyre
'neath his belly to stop him from drowning
Then he walked on water
(Play FILL #1 twice - This time with an accoustic guitar strumming D
on the first beat of each bar)
And we
Talked there for hours
About whether
Or not I believed in you
And so I looked up to the mountains
And I knew that the dream will live on
(Play FILL #1 twice - continue through verses)
Slumber
On you morning that wakes
The lovers entwined in their small tent
Oh oh oh oh ...
Hold
That
Breath you shall blow
Sending lovers from here back to Melbourne
Pass them over
Hey-ey ...
And I
Felt like a good man
As I held her
There by the stream
And from a snake so black she fled into my arms
And I knew the dream will live on
No chord - spoken
This is my prayer
Please forgive me my despair
And set my raging spirit free
And I will sing for you my prayer
You've laid me in her arms
You've bathed us in summer light
By the look in her eyes
The dream will live on

To a night of fitful dreams
And strange apparitions

Hey!
Well you don't choose the place or choose the time

We'll through seeds of doubt at passersby
They will cross onto our side,
We'll sing our songs into the night
As we cast off all those strange facades
We'll see that we're all uniquely scarred
By the same hand
Beneath the same smile
(Singin' Hey) We're all just earings to the left of our parents
They're all just haircuts to the left of theirs
And we all wonder
"Why do nazis grow like wildflowers!"
Everybody dreams the same visions in the end
I know, everybody feels trapped and tired
So if you see a strange door to your right
Then drop your things and run for it

They're all just haircuts to the left of theirs
And we all wonder
"Why do nazis grow like wildflowers!"

ACROSS THE GRAIN
Things of Stone and Wood
With the frost of the winter
With the mist from a wave
With the dust of the wasteland
Yeah, I will bathe myself
Spirit who won't believe
In the wind that has blessed him
In the wind that has billowed
His lung full of song
Across the grain, I'll find my way
From the rock down to the sea
And there I pray, my ash will rest
With the waters fury ....
Instrumental - same chords as verse's
Across the grain, I'll find my way
From the rock down to the sea
And there I pray, my ash will rest
With the waters fury I shout to the night
Please let tomorrows sun come shine on me
A brand new day ....
Everything I think will be sweet
Everything I think will be loving
And every word I speak will be true
And everything I think will be holy
And this hand could hurt
Will sketch out my love for her
On her back while she sleeps
While the morning wispers of
Every single sacred life in the world
Across the grain, I'll find my way
From the rock down to the sea
And there I pray, my ash will rest
With the waters fury .... Hey.....
Across the grain, I'll find my way
From the rock down to the sea
And there I pray, my ash will rest
With the waters fury ....
FRANKIE GRINS (AT HIS MILLIONTH SIN)
Things of Stone and Wood
Timing: 4/4
When he was young he walked with such gentle steps
While leaving no trace he thought he was blessed
He said, "I won't do any harm"
His dreams they were filled with the forgiveness of spring
He thanked the sky for any gift
He said, "I won't do any harm here"
But he heard whispers as he walked past the fake gold lights
"You must cheat to succeed there my naive child"
As he surrended he thought he did so too easily
Frankie cried at his very first lie
The lie it was simple and it's produce was great
Guilt twisted it's fingers around his heart
He said "I did not mean any harm"
But soon ambition replaced all the love he had known
The spring wasn't rebirth but prosperity now
He said "I've not done many things wrong"
But he heard whispers as he walked past the fake gold lights
"You must steal to stay here my angry young man"
He said "I shan't be robbed of my labour's toil"
And he did not feel at his hundredth evil
Now he hears condemnation in the winds as they creep
In through the walls of this castle he's built
He says "You can't touch me any more"
But the cold and the hate they're just one in his bones
The sweet dreams of the young make him angrier still
He cautions "When you've done what I've done you will think what I think"
But he hears whispers as he walked past the fake gold lights
"You must kill to stay here my angry old man"
And he looks out with scorn at his colourless world
Frankie grins at his millionth sin
Frankie cried at his very first lie
And he did not feel at his hundredth evil
Now Frankie grins at his millionth sin
