Nightfall on the City © Barry Ferrier As cars flow down the lanes, of the city’s veins And junkies blow their brains Night coming down… And waves break on the sand, and kids are kicking cans, And fools are making plans, A planet revolving The night grinds into gear with lover’s bitter tears And bikies drinking beer . moon is on the rise There are dreams that turn to dust, there are gamblers going bust There are lovers lost in lust, night coming down Watching night fall on the city The city’s in full swing, as secretaries have their fling And hookers sell there skin, blood streaks the sky With hearts pinned to their sleeves, the sailor boys on leave Are trying to believe, they gonna find some fun… Beneath a dome of stars, lovers in parked cars, The crashing of guitars, night coming down Watching night fall on the city The moon smiles down so sad, on suckers being had In so many dingy pads Night coming down Sunk deep in armchair bliss, couch potatoes never miss The night’s sweet sultry kiss, a planet revolving. The screech of rubber and the siren’s scream A frightened face caught in a headlight beam The city is an electric dream Night coming down Watching night fall on the city

The New Voodoo ©Words & Music : B.Ferrier There’s a beast inside you that you can’t control You’re bitten by the bug and it’s in your soul Can’t deny the feeling that your heart’s on fire You’re a tight-rope walker dancing on a live wire It’s got you Cookin’ up, cookin’ up a little live hoodoo Witches brew Feel that rhythm, crazy rhythm, feel that crazy rhythm let that Voodoo cast a spell on you Voodoo Rhythm cast a spell on you There’s a fever in your vein when you hear that beat Got to take a chance get up on your feet Soar like an eagle when you hear that sax Can’t stop now gotta Grab my axe Hey little girl who tied you to the rail-road tracks You don’t need no toil and trouble, no goat’s head soup, no bat-eye stew Let that Voodoo music cast a spell on you Voodoo Rhythm cast a spell on you Hear strange voices in the back of your head Humming to the music of the Grateful Dead Jimmy Hendrix set the night on fire Voodoo music get you higher and higher You’re a tight-rope walker dancing on a live wire Witches brew Feel that rhythm, crazy rhythm, feel that crazy rhythm let that Voodoo cast a spell on you Voodoo Rhythm cast a spell on you You don’t need no toil and trouble, no goat’s head soup, no bat-eye stew Let that Voodoo music cast a spell on you Voodoo Rhythm cast a spell on you

Miracles Can Happen 03:17

Miracles Can Happen © Barry Ferrier Miracles can happen I could find my keys And we could go out driving by the sea Miracles can happen You could still belong to me How could you treat your loving man so cruel? Red shoes by the lookout Did she jump or was she pushed? How could you feel as desperate as this? Moonlight on the cold cruel water Red blood on the rocks This is how it feels She went too far this time There’s no turning back Miracles can happen They’ll pull her from the sea and she’ll open her loving eyes and smile at me... Miracles can happen I could still be free From this cold cruel prison with no doors Red shoes by the lookout You were much too drunk to dance How could you laugh so coldly in my face? Moonlight on the cold cruel water I reached, but could not grasp This is how it feels She went too far this time There’s no turning back

Tragedy Queen © Barry Ferrier Scarlet woman, talk of the town Tell me baby, when you gonna live this one down? It’s not quite worth it when it comes to an end Drugs and dirty money never bought you no friend My, My – what a bad scene I gave my heart to the Tragedy Queen She saw the gold in the sugarman’s smile I guess you got to feel a little pain for a while You a real wild child It’s goodbye to the Tragedy Queen She’s hurting so bad, makes her wild, makes her mean And when she done me, she done me good I ain’t no woman hater but maybe I should… Get myself together, ‘Cause I’m falling apart She put a detonator on the tracks of my heart Stone derailed me, left me for dead I caught her having breakfast down in Beezelbub’s bed My, My – what a bad scene Sold up the river by the Tragedy Queen She saw the gold in the sugarman’s smile I guess you got to feel a little pain for a while You a real wild child It’s goodbye to the Tragedy Queen She’s cloaking the pain, she’s choking the scream And when I done her, she done her no good I ain’t no woman hater but maybe I should… It’s goodbye to the Tragedy Queen She’s hurting so bad, makes her wild, makes her mean And when she done me, she done me good I ain’t no woman hater but maybe I should… Tell her that I love her - How come it took me too long? I tried to leave her, but the chains were too strong Now I still need her There’s a black gaping hole I worry for you baby ‘cause you sold your sad soul My, My – what a bad scene I gave my heart to the Tragedy Queen She saw the gold in the sugarman’s smile I guess you got to feel a little pain for a while You a real wild child

The Big One 2006 Barry Ferrier When I finally win the Big One Gonna buy myself a dream Gonna build myself a mansion By a crystal mountain stream Gonna own a string of horses A stretch limo racing car Finance an action movie And you and I will star When I finally win the Big One And my shoes are new In my imagination All my dreams come true Everything will be so perfect And the sky so blue When I finally win the big one Maybe then I can win you When I finally win the Big One And I never have to wish I’m gonna have my own chef Cook me any dish Gonna buy an emerald island And I’ll never have to pawn My silver helicopter Will land on your back lawn When I finally win the the Big One And all our friends are there I’m gonna get my teeth fixed And do something with my hair Gonna iron out all my problems And these wrinkles too When I finally win the Big One Maybe then I can win you...

The Cockroach Blues The cockroaches have taken over my kitchen I hear them party when I dim the light But hundred dollar bills won’t keep you warm after midnight You’ve got to have that someone to hold you tight We get so high, we get so high, when there is love when there is love, sweet love My vehicle’s blown a gasket, and the rent’s due, The rats have gnawed a hole in my I Ching, I’d walk a thousand miles through broken bottles Cause you and I, we got a special thing We get so high, we get so high, when there is love when there is love, sweet love Chorus: What can I say? What can I say? You blow me away… You blow me away again I must confess, I was a mess, you came around And put me back together again a little taste of heaven melt those blues away You think this world is bad, then read the papers But somehow you and I seem to get by And one thing gets me through a thousand troubles, yes it does I can see it in your eye Chorus

Calm Down 03:50

CALM DOWN ©Barry Ferrier Hopelessly and helplessly - Escaping from reality Why is it you just can’t see, that’s how I choose to be? I’ve got my reasons… But then a voice inside my head, Mr. Indecisive says, Can’t make up my wayward mind - What am I trying to prove? Who am I fooling? You’ve got to shape up, you can’t run around forever With your head in the clouds You’ve got to get your feet on the ground, you’ve got to calm down, you’ve got to calm down, you’ve got to calm down No more Mr. Inbetweening she says I reach for you but you’re not there, you’re building castles in the air Chasing something I can’t see. You try much too hard to be free. That’s what I’m seeing He says Manically depressively, you just see what you want to see Your world is no more real than mine, Maybe it’s you who’ve been blind? You’ve got to face facts You can’t keep this up forever ‘Cause you’re gonna grow old And love is gonna leave you behind So make up your mind, make up your mind, don’t waste my time. I can’t wait forever.

Tomorrow Never Comes 04:22

Tomorrow Never Comes ©Barry Ferrier Who’s that knocking at my door? Preacher Man. I’ve heard it before It’s a world drowning in sorrow The lies that you swallow Wild geese you are following You live for tomorrow But it never comes I wish there was another way, Feeling like I do today No leaders worthy to follow Politicians are hollow men They sell you tomorrow But it never comes So point me in the right direction We must have made a wrong turn somewhere ‘cause there’s room for correction to the course we’ve charted there’s no use turning back ‘cause we’ll only end up back where we started is this really evolution? Sailing in a glass bottomed boat on a sea of pollution Better take the money and run For tomorrow never comes. War and violence everywhere We can hardly breathe in the air In corruption’s slime the piggies wallow They’ll kill for a dollar bill They’re stealing tomorrow But it never comes Tomorrow never comes, my friend

Honey Trap 2008 Words & Music : B.Ferrier I’m caught up in the Honey Trap A sticky place to hang your hat Like an ant, I’m caught in honey The more I work, the more you spend my money I’m deeper in, the more I struggle You torture me the way you make me juggle The line is fine between pleasure and pain The more that I get, the less that I gain With pain I cry, with pleasure I shout You turn me on, you turn me inside out I want to fly - but my wings won’t flap You got me stuck in your Honey Trap Set me free – ooh ooh babe what you’re doing to me Don’t you see – it’s a fact I’m a bumble bee, you’re my Honey Trap You press my buttons and you pull my strings You taught me how to fly, then you clipped my wings You wear me down and you send me up You bring me coffee in my favourite cup You make me happy and you make me so mad You do me good till it hurts so bad I can’t get by on a tickle and a slap I can’t break free from the honey trap Set me free – ooh ooh babe what you’re doing to me Don’t you see – it’s a fact If you can’t sing along – at least you could clap! I tasted the fruit of the Forbidden Tree The Angels cry when they lookin’ down on me They say: How could you do it? You’re never gonna win Open up the Gates Lord, and let me back in The Spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak I’m living in a madhouse, I’m feeling like a freak I’m a knight in shining armour knee deep in crap A willing victim of your honey trap (optional) I’m Pavlov’s Dog, you’ve got your finger on my button You’re a witch’s feast, and I really am a glutton You’re a man-eating flower - You’re a vampire shrew I gotta wonder baby what I’m gonna do with you You build me up then you break me down I’m the laughing stock of this stupid little town You turn me on then turn off the tap You got me stuck in your honey trap Chorus

Disco-Lobotomy © Barry Ferrier Disco-lobotomy – saturate with sound until the brain can feel no pain At the Love Factory – dancing in a strobe-lit video landscape Dazed by the laser rays, spinning like a mirror ball Freeze frame image of you in negative Fade to red Disco-lobotomy Feel the body heat, and the bottom end beat got a hold of my feet I’m a-walking on hot coals Legs in fishnet do the military goose step I’m an alien robot Look at that ghost go, doing the tango Lonely, lonely, lonely night Fade to Blue Disco-lobotomy Drown my troubles in sound sound sound Talk to me in sign language Dancing in a psychedelic sea of sin Thought I got your name right honey I carry a card with my name in Braille Would you like to feel it Disco-lobotomy – saturate with sound until the brain can feel no pain At the Love Factory – dancing in a strobe-lit video landscape Choled on the smoke machine, slipped on the parquee floor Freeze frame image of me in full flight Fade to black Disco-lobotomy Drown my troubles in sound sound sound
