Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Thereโs no where to find it,
And no oneโs designed it,
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Now in the Pacific thereโs something horrific,
The water's not water, it's soup.
There's plastics both macro and micro and I know
It's a deadly and dangerous goop.
Our consummate waste flows out into this paste
And it kills all that gets in its way
For this detritus fine it's the end of the line
But thereโs no such place as 'away'
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
We have to reduce,
All the tripe we produce,
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
On the streets of the city, not everythingโs pretty
Thereโs cast-aways each place you look
Daily, hundreds erased from the chance of a place,
State services, just a closed book.
We pity afflictions, deride their addictions
Maybe dribble small change in a tray.
But a small twist of fate could put us in that state,
โCause thereโs no such place as away.
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Never think to yourself,
That you wonโt need such help,
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Itโs an unkind last stroke that our our First Nations Folk
Have been butchered since early invasion.
Now in place of the viral, the venom, the rifle,
We kill them through incarceration.
We know what to do, the Commission spoke true,
Made a roadmap to make things OK
But weโre too bloody gutless, and our country lies, luckless
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
We could be altruistic,
Ugh... theyโre just a statistic,
But thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Back in the Pacific and itโs still horrific,
Weโve outsourced our diligence due
If youโre pleading for succour youโre all out of luck, hereโs
A tropical prison for you.
And it pulls all the focus away from our locus
Control: itโs the point of the game
Gain the popular vote of the folks who hate boats
But thereโs no such place as 'away'
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Going on about human rights,
Makes tedious news sound-bites,
But thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.
There's nowhere to find it,
And no one's designed it,
Thereโs no such place as โawayโ.

"In The Wild"
by Awkward Strangers
A woman carves out her own truth
A free man whistles his tune
A lone child buries her first tooth
I will meet you on the moon
I will meet you on the moon
Build a longer table
Turn your back on the taller wall
Pay the worker not the lable
I will answer when you call
I will answer when you call
[CHORUS]
Play the unplayable piano
Console the heartbroken child
Don't practice your art in the shadow
I will find thee in the wild
I will find thee in the wild
Never outgrow the playground
Keep your promises, your vow
Let starlight temper your sweet sound
Iโll honour you here and now
Iโll honour you here and now
[CHORUS]
Play the unplayable piano
Console the heartbroken child
Don't practice your art in the shadow
I will find thee in the wild
I will find thee in the wild
[Instrumental]
Invite the awkward stranger
Make a blindfolded leap
Embrace the unknown danger
We shall settle in the deep
We shall settle in the deep
[CHORUS]
Play the unplayable piano
Console the heartbroken child
Don't practice your art in the shadow
I will find thee in the wild
Play the unplayable piano
Console the heartbroken child
Don't practice your art in the shadow
I will find thee in the wild
I will find thee in the wild

"9 to 5"
Tumble out of bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me, hmmm
They let you dream
Just a watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5
Yeah, they got you were they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
9 to 5
Oh, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5
Yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
