[Verse] In the schoolyard you were a kind of shy Behind your smile was a hidden cry We grew up but the pain stuck around You were lost even in a crowd [Chorus] Ghost in the alley shadows in the night Lost in the battle no end in sight We weren't close but I grieve your fall Your silent scream echoes through it all [Verse] Saw you stumble through the years Eyes glazed drowning in your fears Addiction gripped you like a vice Paid the price once then twice [Chorus] Ghost in the alley shadows in the night Lost in the battle no end in sight We weren't close but I grieve your fall Your silent scream echoes through it all [Verse] Tried to find you a saving grace But darkness clouded every place One moment you were here the next gone Left me with a ghost to mourn on [Bridge] Every promise now seems shattered In a world where you never mattered But to me your memory stays Haunting shadows cling to my days

Oh, Diane from Aldbury, she’s classy and bright, Set off to her book club on a Thursday night, With Austen and Brontë and Hemingway’s prose, She’s got her good wine glass and her fanciest clothes! [Chorus] But oh Diane, what a scene, Tipsy as a lord, but feelin’ like a queen! Textin’ on her phone, she was feelin’ just fine, But down she went, after too much wine! [Verse 2] The book talk was lively, the laughs came fast, With each sip of Shiraz, she was havin’ a blast. “Just one more glass!” she proclaimed with pride, And forgot all about her walk back outside. [Chorus] Oh Diane, what a scene, Tipsy as a lord, but feelin’ like a queen! Textin’ on her phone, she was feelin’ just fine, But down she went, after too much wine! [Verse 3] Now Aldbury’s quiet at the end of the day, But here comes Diane, swayin’ down the way, With her heels clackin’ loudly on the village street, And her eyes on her phone, not watchin’ her feet! [Chorus] Oh Diane, what a scene, Tipsy as a lord, but feelin’ like a queen! Textin’ on her phone, she was feelin’ just fine, But down she went, after too much wine! [Bridge] She tripped on the curb, with a gasp and a shout, Her book club bag spillin’ as she tumbled about! Flat on her face, oh, her pride took a hit, And her leg got bruised where she took that big split. [Verse 4] Now Diane’s limpin’ home, lookin’ worse for wear, With a bruise on her leg and wine in her hair, But she laughs as she thinks, “I’m still feelin’ fine, Just next week, maybe… half as much wine!” [Final Chorus] Oh Diane, what a scene, Tipsy as a lord, but still our Aldbury queen! The book club might gossip, but that’s quite alright, For Diane had one heck of a night! [Outro] So here’s to Diane, our brave bookish friend, May her texts stay unbroken, her bruises all mend. She’ll laugh and she’ll say, with a glint in her eye, “That’s the last time I’ll go home with my head to the sky!”
Siempre al lado de la mesa, firme y quieta en su lugar, viendo charlas y risas, mientras el tiempo pasa sin cesar. Pero un día la separaron, sin una palabra, sin un adiós, y ahora sola en un rincón, la silla se quedó, sin voz. (Estribillo) Oh, silla triste, ¿dónde vas a ir? Si la mesa ya no te deja existir, ya no hay platos, ya no hay gente, solo el polvo, la soledad presente. Oh, silla olvidada, ¿quién te va a ver? Si la mesa te arrastra y te hace desaparecer, tu madera llora, tu cojín suspira, y en el rincón se apaga tu vida. (Verso 2) El eco de las risas se fue, la mesa ya no tiene razón, las voces se ahogan en la nada, y la silla se pierde en el olvido, sin canción. El tiempo pasa lentamente, y ella espera en su rincón, como un sueño perdido, como un recuerdo sin corazón. (Estribillo) Oh, silla triste, ¿dónde vas a ir? Si la mesa ya no te deja existir, ya no hay platos, ya no hay gente, solo el polvo, la soledad presente. Oh, silla olvidada, ¿quién te va a ver? Si la mesa te arrastra y te hace desaparecer, tu madera llora, tu cojín suspira, y en el rincón se apaga tu vida. (Puente) Y aunque el viento la toque, y el sol la acaricie, la silla sigue esperando a que alguien la recuerde, a que alguien la vuelva a mirar. (Estribillo) Oh, silla triste, ¿dónde vas a ir? Si la mesa ya no te deja existir, ya no hay platos, ya no hay gente, solo el polvo, la soledad presente. Oh, silla olvidada, ¿quién te va a ver? Si la mesa te arrastra y te hace desaparecer, tu madera llora, tu cojín suspira, y en el rincón se apaga tu vida.
Verse 1: Oi, listen up, mate, here’s a yarn, ‘Bout a bloke out back on his farm, Everything’s blue, fair dinkum it’s true, From his stubby to his ute, his flanno too. Blue’s his shed, his old Commodore, Blue esky chillin’ out by the door, Got blue gum trees as far as ya see, And he’s blue ‘cause he’s lonely as a bloke can be. Chorus: I'm blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Yeah, I’m blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day. Verse 2: Got me a blue shack with a blue tin roof, Blue thongs, blue socks, I swear it’s the truth, Blue trackies on the washing line, And me blue stubby holder’s mighty fine. Blue kangaroos jumpin’ round the yard, Blue as the beer in me chilly bin jarred, Blue are me thoughts as I sip on me brew, And blue are the feels when the day is through. Chorus: I'm blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Yeah, I’m blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day. Verse 3: Got a blue ute parked out in the sun, And me blue heeler’s ready to run, Blue gum smoke as we light the fire, Me blue sky dreams just reachin' higher. Blue are the mates who wander ‘round, Out here in blue gum country ground, Blue’s the sunset, the stars up high, Blue as the stories I’m tellin’ tonight. Chorus: I'm blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Yeah, I’m blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day. Outro: I’m blue as a billy boilin’ on the flame, In this blue life, everything’s the same.
