Bigger than you bigger then me	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than you When I'm all alone I dream that I live for the circus And I travel by a horse and cart la la la la When I'm all alone I picture myself as a dancer Swirling for the men in sequins la la la la la And I'll be part of something bigger than this emptiness and liquor And I'll be stronger than a giant I'll make sure you can join my chorus We won't be scared of what came before us For I'll be part of something bigger Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me When I'm all alone I dream that I'm a sword swallower And I'll make the people squirm and scream la la la la When I'm all alone I wish that I was not alone Surrounded by the freaks who love me la la la la la And I'll be part of something bigger than this emptiness and liquor And I'll be stronger than a giant I'll make sure you can join my chorus We won't be scared of what came before us For I'll be part of something bigger Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me If you could see me now you may just change your mind and say “ That girls going places, I was wrong to turn my head and look away Not just a pretty picture, she's part of something bigger Bigger than you bigger than me”... And I'll be stronger than a giant I'll make sure you can join my chorus We won't be scared of what came before us For I'll be part of something bigger So don't be scared to scream your lungs out And tell the world what these freaks are about And we'll be part of something bigger I'll make sure you can join my chorus We won't be scared of what came before us For I'll be part of something bigger Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me Bigger than me, bigger than you, bigger than me...

Bicycle	*Face Painter*
I am feeling like a re-enactment is occurring I am feeling like I've mucked it all up yet again If I could ride a bike I'd ride away into the sunset I know you know what that feels like I know you know what that feels like... CHORUS: If you got something you want to tell me darlin’ Please, can you hold it in until we meet this Sunday Oh…I need to think about this path I want to take On my bicycle whoa oh... I am feeling like my voice is stuck down in my throat I am feeling like a stranger inside my own skin If I could ride a bike I'd ride away and visit Norway I know you know what that feels like I know you know what that feels like... CHORUS: If you got something you want to tell me darlin’ Please, can you hold it in until we meet this Sunday Oh…I need to think about this path I want to take On my bicycle whoa oh... Always going away Why can't I come with you one of these days? Oh please don't say that if we keep going on like this We may not get through…may not get through May not get through...through…through CHORUS: If you got something you want to tell me darlin’ Please, can you hold it in until we meet this Sunday Oh…I need to think about this path I want to take On my bicycle whoa oh...

Chai Tea	*Face Painter*
When something just comes and opens the door Could this be our chance to fly to the stars? Letting go seems easy, moving on seems strange And finding out that one of us has changed When there's no more chai tea for me No more chai tea for me.... Yesterday I began to paint The face of me and the words I sent to you the other day Now there's no more chai tea for me No more chai tea for me.... Is this forever or forever just for now? I hope it's the latter but I don't know somehow Oh well just tell me one thing before I go Just tell me you don't love me, so then I know... That there's no more chai tea for me No more chai tea for me...

Chew Love	*Face Painter*
It's times like these that I thank God that I can write a song To overcome this troubled mind while it's too busy singing along I wish I could just breathe you out the way I breathed you in But I love you…I love you… CHORUS: Could this be chew-a-chew-a-l-l-love yes? chew-a-chew-a-love? It's times like these that make me down so down I cannot see But I refuse to write a song that's hateful and so angry I know I was upset but you know you are the best person that I have… ever met That why… I love you CHORUS: Could this be chew-a-chew-a-l-l-love yes? chew-a-chew-a-love? Please say that you love me still the way That you said you did the other day I can't help but think this is such a waste... [Instrumental] I love you...I love you CHORUS: Could this be… chew-a-chew-a-l-l-love yes? chew-a-chew-a-love? Chew Love… Chew Love etc.

Cocaine	*Real Life* *Computer Game*
I heard a funny thing today, that I'm addicted to Cocaine But I haven't got the cash, to indulge in those ways I think I need some time to heal, before I take illicit drugs maybe some time as a wanderer, 'though the end will surely come But you know it is days like these, that I just wish I could... try something new Gee baby I miss you like you know But this love became a chore Could you try to be a business man and I'll try to be your whore But you know it is days like these, that I just wish I could... try something new But you know it is days like these, that I just wish I could... try something new

Could this mean if everyone is alone together, in the way that we're all together alone?	*Real Life* *Computer Game*
Chattering chattering just stop the clutter she’s hearing when walking and talking it’s everything Everywhere there’s a man with no face His arms are reaching to her but he’s blinded By skin over eyes and she’s always reminded That when we die we’re always alone So could this mean if everyone is alone we’re together? In the way that we’re all together alone? And if she wanted to just be a circle She would have you believe she’s just a poster girl But now she sits alone on the bedroom floor Cos you won’t call at all Stop it just stop it you people with veils on Are reaching into her like nobodies business But without loving them she does not exist If only she’d morph into me then she could only see Just by looking at her makes the dark disappear One day I’ll invent a way So we can be with everyone who’s alone together In the way that they’re all together alone And if she wanted to just be a circle She would have you believe she’s just a poster girl But now she sits alone on the bedroom floor Cos you won’t call at all Friend: If you want her to be the one you take home Just go on boy cos you’re treating her mean! Boy love: I don’t know this feeling anyway and I’m so scared to let her into my heart Easy just to leave and fly away cos I’m so scared to let her see the real me Girl Love: But when I’m with him, he connects with my mind And I feel like the lonely cannot get to me Friend: He’s treating her mean Boy Love: I’m treating her mean Girl Love: He’s treating me mean And if she wanted to just be a circle She would have you believe she’s just a poster girl But now she sits alone on the bedroom floor Cos you won’t even fucking call at all And if she wanted to just be a circle She would have you believe she’s just a poster girl But she just sits alone on the bedroom floor Cos you won’t call at all

Dry Land	*Real Life* *Computer Game*
You were the only one who knew me The way I thought it should be But one day you took my little hand And plummeted us both in to dry land How did we let ourselves slip away I know it to be oh my big mistake Sometimes all it takes if for someone else to run from you to make you find yourself Do you even know this I can’t tell? Now all I need is time just on my own To get used to this body and it’s knew home Just thought I would say ‘thanks’ as I go on my way Please tell me to stay Do you even want that anyway? Do you have anything to say? Do you even want that anyway? I froze up like a cube of ice But even though you were so untrue Somehow you could melt me like you do Darn it darn it darn it you… You were the only one who knew me The way I thought it should be But one day you took my little hand And plummeted us both in to dry land

Emma Dean Meets Dr Dream	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
Dr Dream has a way with words when I'm broken Peel my skin for a sneaky peak and i'm chokin' Burn me down like an ashtray and i'll be smokin' For Dr Dream has a way of keeping me crazy like a loon is that amazing? I'll be coming home What did I tell you? What did I tell you honey? He's not making me better, I think I should ask for my money back and what did I tell you? Am I fucking crazy? For Dr dream has been and gone and I still live in an imaginarium Dr Dream has a way of twisting the truth dear He sits me down on his big black chair and he whispers in my ear He says “there's nothing wrong with dialogue between yourself and an imaginary friend or three” And I say “well that's great but I can't hear myself think and lately I can barely feel myself breathe” Oh crazy like a loon, is that amazing? I'll be coming home What did I tell you? What did I tell you honey? He's not making me better, I think I should ask for my money back and what did I tell you? Am I fucking crazy? For Dr dream has been and gone and I still live in an imaginarium What did I tell you? What did I tell you honey? He's not making me better, I think I should ask for my money back What did I tell you? What did I tell you honey? He's not making me better – I think I should ask for my money back I think I should ask for my money back Am I fucking crazy? For Dr Dream has been and gone And all this madness lingers on An empty rocking horse rocks on I'm in the corner curtains drawn And Dr Dream has been and gone And I still live in an imaginarium

End of the table	*Real Life* *Computer Game*
I hope that you are everything that you say that you are But why did you not say anything when I was ignored? I know that I’m young and a little shy and I don’t sit straight But I’m a nice girl I want them to know that I’m a nice girl Why did you ask me to come? Why did you ask me? Why did you ask me to come? Why did you ask me? All of my friends say “well done” before when I ask them So tell me you like it when I sing jazz…I like to sing jazz But why did I ask you to come? Why did I ask you? Why did I ask you to come? Why did I ask you? I know you’re wanted, I know all this stuff But don’t let them look at me like I’m not good enough My body froze it was just my luck There I was at the end of the table pretending that I could relate to them… I change all the time but that night I stayed where I belong I hope you don’t mind that I’m just a girl who likes to write songs Why did you ask me to come? Why did you ask me? Why did you ask me to come? Why did you ask me?

Have I over sung this? Could this be my big break? Oh who knows for heavens sake? Aching over because lovers say that everything’s ok, when it’s not But are you different do you love me or will you hate me when, when I’m gone? X 2 I just can’t think enough of you I can’t think enough of you I can’t think enough of you Henry I , I just don’t know what to do Let us take a walk and talk about the songs that we’ll write for one another And make mochas with marsh mellows and make snow people in New Zealand

I keep on losing myself (written Ben Stewart)	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret

Doctor Doctor won't you please help me I'm swollen and tearing at the seams, I'm broken won't you make this...

Most of the time	*Real Life* *Computer Game*
Do you think that I’m a hopeless girl And I’ll love you forever more? Once I don’t have you I’ll call you back Cos I can’t stand to be alone? I’m teaching myself to read a book And really focus on that book Cos I start to think these crazy thoughts Like “maybe I should just do a puzzle?” and “do you think he’ll marry me?” But what would I say now? Everything is changing now. I know you think I’m over-dramatic Well, I think you’ve got it too easy I’m on the radio in your big automatic And I’ll talk as much as I please! You know you can’t stop me! But what would I say now? Everything is changing now. What would I do if I saw myself standing in line? Cos I deserve better most of the time I don’t have anyone to blame Oh but I can not stand playing this game Do you want me? Or do you want to be free? But what would I say now? Everything is changing now. What would I do if I saw myself standing in line? Cos I deserve better most of the time Cos I deserve better most of the time Cos I deserve better most of the time But I can’t stand to be alone…

Suspended in “almost” in “maybe” in “um” Fill me with self doubt before I've begin Talk to me talk to me tell me the truth You reject me 'cause I'm better than you Well look in the mirror and see the decay I'll eat you for breakfast oh one of these days 'Cause there's no way you know better I'll piss on your letter And it will make me stronger And you will regret it But if you ever want me If you ever want me I'll be waiting here to tell you... no! NO! Tell me what's wrong with the way that I think Am I like a plug that don't fit in your sink? I filter your bull shit – it falls down the drown But waiting for answers is like catching rain 'Cause there's no way you know better I'll piss on your letter And it will make me stronger And you will regret it But if you ever want me If you ever want me I'll be waiting here to tell you... no! NO! Everyone everyone has a beat that they drum Everyone everyone has a song that is sung Everyone everyone has a moment in time This is mine, this is mine This is mine, this is mine 'Cause there's no way you know better I'll piss on your letter And it will make me stronger And you will regret it There's no way you know better I'll piss on your letter And it will make me stronger And you will regret it But if you ever want me If you ever want me I'll be waiting here to tell you... no!

Over-Drive	*Hanging Out The Washing*
I see life on the other side Even though politics just confuse me Am I just so naïve? I think it might be over-drive Out of my depression so now I’m preaching hope On to the sailors on a sinking boat And I hope this does not offend you I hope this does not offend you… I think that for once there’s not a Firestorm oh am I missing the point? Should I become more aware? I am feeling bad because I’m So so happy at this time But I wish I was one of those ‘worldly girls’ I know that he loves And I hope this does not offend you I hope this does not offend you… Could it be always, that I’m just overcome? Could it be always that I’m just overcome? Or could it…could it be gold that he wants, gold that he wants? Could it …could it be gold that he wants, gold that he wants? I see life on the other side Even though politics just confuse me Am I just so naïve? But why compare myself to those Who aren’t me. True self-esteem Is appreciating who we are And not who we could be And I hope this does not offend you I hope this does not offend you…

Sharks	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
There are sharks in my pool and I think they're just playing mean and cruel but it makes me sad that I can't swim and ask my friends 'round to jump on in 'Cos if I trusted them to not eat me alive, eat me alive I would be desert – sugar and spice, they'd eat me alive There are hawks in my sky and they are swooping as I pass by The thickness of my skin don't count when they're scratching at my eye 'Cos if I trusted them to not eat me alive, eat me alive I would be desert – served with a warm chai, they'd eat me alive Now it's time to call or fold To turn the young in to the old To turn the weak in to the wise The circus freak with no disguise 'Cos if I trusted them to not eat me alive, eat me alive I would be desert served with a warm chai, they'd eat me alive There are sharks in my pool and I think they're just playing mean and cruel but it makes me sad that I can't swim and ask my friends around to jump on in

Sincerely Fearful (co-written Ben Stewart)	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
I just can't live without it X 2 I am sincerely fearful of the voices in my head that tell me “ honey make your mind up we're giving you the wind up little lady” I am sincerely fearful of the choices that I face should I show you What's under the wrapping there could be something lacking CHORUS Could you fade me in And could you fade me out? And could you fade me in? If you're not in doubt? And could you lie to me? And could you call me Gwenda? And could we just pretenda And could we just pretend? I am sincerely fearful of admitting I'm afraid so I think I'll try to blow your brains out, hope I can get the stains out and say this never happened I am sincerely fearful of the truth that I will face so I think I'll... I'll get liposuction, botox, a breast reduction CHORUS I just can't live without it I just can't live without it I just can't live without sincerely fearing you oh X 2 If you wanna be the switch I can be the angry bitch I'd like to be the one who can turn this off, who can turn this on wooo I'd like to be the one who can turn this off, who can turn this on CHORUS X 2

Something they can hold	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
Sally wanted the world but hadn't a clue how she would be heard So one day she drove herself to the cliffs and sang of her love then threw herself in so no one forgot But everyone has a name and hers will be sold again and again as stories are told And as time moves on she'll wonder if darkness ever becomes something she can hold David always fell short at least so he thought a job he could not hold down for a fortnight His bills piled up right next to his pills and one day he thought “ man I've had my fill” But everyone has a name and his will be sold again and again as stories are told And as time moves on he'll wonder if darkness ever becomes something he can hold No brave sacrifice just loads of regret and it's not that nice when you can't forget the warmth of his skin the smell of her hair and all you can wish is “take me back there” The magic is lost when you disconnect for you can't rewind when you've hit eject And as time moves on you'll long for that friend who told you the truth who would not pretend And I have a name and it will be sold again and again as stories are told And as time moves on I'll wonder if darkness ever becomes something I can hold

Stuck in the mud	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
Sometimes I look at you and think that you’re beautiful Stylishly so, in an “I don’t care” way And I stare at you from behind painted glass windows The colour depending on what kind of day And my hands press up against the glass – I can’t reach you So surely I will not be able to teach you Your worth…but I’ll pray for you every night And as I melt away I forget that once I would dance all day to the dream I’ve yet to touch But how dreams fade when they get stuck in the mud Sometimes I look at you and wonder if I am what’s Bringing you down to the ground and I ponder “ maybe I should work with flowers? Or go back and Study significant things you get paid for?” But hurry cos I’m getting older and they're getting younger And I feel like everyone’s staring at me I don’t know what you want me to be But as I melt away I forget that once I would dance all day to the dream I’ve yet to touch But how dreams fade when they get stuck in the mud Am I aching your heart or just mine? Will it be ok if I start walking in time? And for you I would nail myself to the wall But I’ll hate you for it… Sometimes I look at you and think I love you so much that I’d give all this up If it meant you could hold me and know I was here in the moment And not with the puzzle and how to solve it But I don’t know when I’m allowed to be happy or proud So I’ll always tone down did you figure it out? I’ve wanted to scream and shout And as I melt away I forget that once I would dance all day to the dream I’ve yet to touch But how dreams fade when they get stuck in the mud X 2

Taking It Easy Again	*Hanging Out The Washing*
Take a good step back so you can hear the words From the rugged readings of your psychic bird Who sings a tune I know too well, how swell So she sings you every Friday And you’ve got yourself thinking that you’ll be ok To clean yourself and to wash away Any chance of trying to explain Any chance of trying to explain I’m packing up and trying again Have you erased your thoughts and cancelled out the fact that you’re human with thoughts that aren’t always in tact The songs that you sing, they blow me away But why do I always seem to hear you say Why do I always seem to hear you say Only excuses to run away from me, from me? From little little, so below you, so fucking small, do you do you… Now I'm taking it easy again And I'm taking the road And as we speak I'm waiting for messages From other boys I don't know (repeat verse) Bvocals: I remember hanging out the washing And you said I was a sheltered girl But you're sheltered far beyond the ceiling Even far beyond an oyster pearl And now I'm taking it easy again Now I'm taking it easy again etc.

Thieving Hearts (lyrics co-written BenStewart)	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
Once a thieving scoundrel dared, me to steal your underwear The silk did trickle down your legs, to your ankles pink as pigs Father told me I was wrong and mother sang a Christian song Their hurtful words they stung my mouth, and filled my belly fat with doubt Oh touch me in this sharp light I've been aching through the night Thieving hearts meet after curfew You know where I'll be waiting for you... Lover love me or let me go, so this guilt can melt like snow And fill the streams that wash my hair of what a thieving scoundrel dared Oh touch me in this sharp light I've been aching through the night Thieving hearts meet after curfew You know where I'll be waiting for you... Open up your window love (where I'll be waiting for you...) Climb through my window tonight and cast us both in this sharp light and blood will run like scarlet freedom

Three Meals	*Face Painter*
How could it be I'm running out of time sir? I'm only 22 sir, I'm only 22 How could it be I feel old now? But I've so much to learn now I only cook three meals now I only cook three meals... How could it be I want to change my style now? I look at you and cry now ‘Cos that was my idea now but no one got to see it So chuck it out chuck it out Chuck it chuck it ch-u-u-u-uck it out...oh oh CHORUS: So I don't know my way, I don't know my way But tell me that it's ok where…where do I belong? Is it in your arms or is it somewhere I can learn to be strong? How could it be I'm running out of steam sir? You do know what I mean sir? I'm getting pretty sick now of coughing up these thoughts And I hate to be annoying, I hate to be annoying But if you could just make it stop now oh... CHORUS: So I don't know my way, I don't know my way But tell me that it's ok where...where do I belong? Is it in your arms or is it somewhere I can… oh… I’ve got to find a way, I’ve got to find my way So tell me that its okay where…where do I belong Is it in your arms or is it somewhere I can learn to be strong? So you might see me following the footsteps that turn in to a slow jog But I can't keep up - they turn in to a fast paced run What level do you speak of my dear as you motion higher with your hands? Am I underneath your ears…Or is that your neck…Or is that your chest? CHORUS: Oh I've got to find my way, I need to find a way But tell me that it's ok where...where do I belong? Is it in your arms or is it somewhere I can… oh… I’ve got to find a way, I’ve got to find my way So tell me that its okay where…where do I belong Is it in your arms or is it somewhere… I can learn to be strong?

Thunder (co-written BenStewart)	Dr Dream & The Imaginary Pop-Cabaret
If you were a hand I’d clap with you If you were a mess I’d clean you up If you were a short dress I’d probably wish you were shorter If you were a holiday you’d be Halloween We’d dress up as ghosts I’d help you spook out a family, haunt them until they leave so you are alone with me always And I promise you I promise you there’ll always be a place for you in my old heart I promise you I promise you there’ll always be a place for you in my old heart CHORUS For nothing compares to this thunder inside When it rumbles like the deepest bass in the choir When the temperatures rising – you feel you’re on fire When you love me tonight If you were a mandolin I’d tremolo In the orchestra you’d be the piccolo solo And sing over the harmony as I conduct you If you were a hitchhiker I’d drive you home You’d take me in for coffee and I’d never go I’d tie you to the bed so I can be alone with you always And I promise you I promise you there’ll always be a place for you in my old heart Yes I promise you I promise you there’ll always be a place for you in my old heart CHORUS I hope that you can just begin to understand The magic that I feel even when you just hold my hand But do you think you'll feel this Thunder? Do you want to feel this thunder thunder? Do you want to feel this thunder thunder? For nothing compares to this thunder inside? CHORUS Do you want to feel this thunder?

Too Fat for Ballet	*Face Painter*
Am I in over my head? Some days I wake up and wish I was a nurse or a lawyer instead But I've worked at this since I was three Since when my teacher told me I was too fat to do ballet So listen up can't you see I'm more than those people who you see and who have said that they love me I've got so much I want to say But if you don't hear me - I want to do floristry at TAFE...floristry at TAFE... Where you going? no one's showing up today I guess it's just the weather keeping them inside Maybe you could bring a friend or two to fill it up And I will buy them a drink with my 15 dollars pay Where you going no one's showing up today I guess it's just the weather keeping them inside But I would like to thank you all for coming 'cos there's so few of you I'll find it easy to socialise... Am I in over my head? Some days I wake up and wish I was a nurse or a lawyer instead But I've worked at this since I was three Since when my teacher told me I was too fat to do ballet

Waiting Room

Real Life Computer Game

If you want to go
If you’re sure then say so
This world aint gonna wait
For a fearful heart that’s running late

So make your mind up
Don’t be shy now of you’ll wind up
sitting in the waiting room with no appointment
Shake the 8-ball
Wake up to it all
And get out of your waiting room

Love has always won
This fear of being with no one
Now I will stand my ground
I will stand my ground

So make your mind up
Don’t be shy now of you’ll wind up
Sitting in the waiting room with no appointment
Shake the 8-ball
Wake up to it all
And get out of your waiting room

NA NA NA NA NA etc

So make your mind up
Don’t be shy now of you’ll wind up
Sitting in the waiting room with no appointment
Shake the 8-ball
Wake up to it all
And get out of your waiting room
