Advance Australia Fair

Australia's National Anthem

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.

Orange Colored Sky

by Natalie Cole

I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-colored sky
Flash! bam! alakazam!
Wonderful you came by

I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange-colored view
Wham! bam! alakazam!
I got a look at you

One look and I yelled "timber"
"watch out for flying glass"
'cause the ceiling fell and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
"i've been hit, this is it, this is it!"

I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! bam! alakazam!
Out of an orange-colored sky.

Heart of Gold


by Neil Young

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.

Not Me Not I


by DELTA GOODREM

You mixed me up for someone
Who'd fall apart without you
Yeah you broke my heart for the first time
But I'll get over that too
It's hard to find the reasons
Who can see the rhyme?
I guess we were seasons out of time
I guess you didn't know me

[Chorus:]
Did you really think love is blind?
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
surprise, and I caught you out
On every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not me, not I, not I, no not me, not I

The story goes on without you
And there's got to be another ending
But yeah you broke my heart it won't be the last time
But I'll get over them too
As a new door opens we close the ones behind
And if you search your soul I know you'll find
You never really knew me

[Chorus]

All you said to me
All you promised me
All the mystery never did believe
No I never cry no I never not me not I

Did you really think love is blind
That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines
surprise, and I caught you out
On every single time that you lied
Did you think that every time I see you I would cry
No not I, I won't cry
No not me, not I, not I,
Not I
No not me, not I

You Gotta S-M-I-L-E to be H-A-Double-P-Y


Movie:Stowaway
Year:1936
Lyrics and Music by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel

If something may upset you
Don't ever let it get you down,
Don't wear a frown.

If fortune should forsake you
Don't ever let it make you sigh,
Keep shooting high.

Be a crooner, not a groaner, never kick,
Here's a spelling lesson that will do the trick:

You gotta S-M-I-L-E to be H-A double P-Y,
Keep it in mind when you're blue,
It's easy to spell
and just as easy to do,
You gotta S-M-I-L-E
It's gonna help considerably.

Just keep your chin up
and give it a try,
And you'll find silver lined clouds in the sky,
You gotta S-M-I-L-E
To be H-A double P-Y.
