1. Set Me On Fire
(lyrics written by Missy Higgins, Butterfly Boucher & Dan Wilson)
I got a lot to say I just don’t know how to say it /
I know all the rules I just can’t seem to play it /
You can tick the boxes /
follow the equations but the knife won’t budge until /
you learn patience /
I got notes to sing I just can’t reach the words /
they’re out on a ledge in the dark with the birds /
but I’m trying to find them inside of you /
Take my brain and break it in two /
Melody you’re the only one who saves me /
Out of the cold you take me (set me on fire) /
You save me (set me on fire) /
Melody, all I want is to remember /
what came before this winter (set me on fire) /
Save me, set me on fire /
I got a rock between my heart and my mouth /
I know how it got there but I can’t pull it out and the bones that once moved my fingers over keys are protesting in a fist on my knees /
Gotta find a way to unzip my skin cos this is a stranger’s I’m living in /
Melody, you’re the only one who saves me /
Out of the cold you take me (set me on fire) /
You save me (set me on fire) /
Melody, all I want is to remember what came before this /
winter (set me on fire) /
Save me, set me on fire /
What came before the winter /
Set me on fire /
Melody, you’re the only one who saves me /
Out of the cold you take me and set me on fire /
You set me on fire /
Melody, all I want is to remember /
what came before this winter (set me on fire) /
Save me, set me on fire /
Melody, you’re the only /
one who saves me /
You set me on fire ... /


2. Hello Hello
(Written by Missy Higgins & Kevin Griffin)
I would have gone /
with you that night /
if you’d have asked me /
and I wouldn’t have left your side /
but you marched /
into the rain /
stubborn as a child /
while right here I stayed /
Hello hello, is anybody there? /
This disappearing act is getting harder to bare /
Hello hello? /
Oh when you gonna see /
you have to take me with you if you don’t wanna lose me /
You know I’d fight /
dagger in hand /
beside you if only /
I knew what you’re battling /
but you crawl /
out of the dark /
into my sunshine /
and I don’t dare ask /
Hello hello, is anybody there? /
This disappearing act is getting harder to bare /
Hello hello? /
Oh when you gonna see /
you have to take me with you if you don’t wanna lose me /
Cos I wanna follow /
Just let me follow /
I promise I don’t scare, don’t scare easy /
Ain’t much I haven’t seen… /
Hello hello, is anybody there? /
This disappearing act is getting harder to bare /
Hello hello? /
Oh when you gonna see /
you have to take me with you if you don’t wanna lose me… /


3. Unashamed Desire
(Written by Missy Higgins & Butterfly Boucher.)
Empty all my pockets and take what you like /
Empty all my pockets if you like /
I've got nothing to hide /
Empty all my pockets and take what you like /
Empty all my pockets if you like /
I've got nothing to hide /
My unashamed desire /
is an open fire /
Unashamed desire /
Open up my chest and take what you like /
Open up my chest if you like /
I've got nothing to hide /
Cut open my heart and turn on the light /
Cut open my heartache if you like /
I've got nothing to hide /
My unashamed desire /
is an open fire /
Unashamed desire /
And I'm not afraid to love /
Not afraid to love /
Unashamed desire /
We get one sweet moment in the arms of youth /
I don't wanna waste time holding down the truth /
I've got everything to win and onely pain to lose /
This is my /
Unashamed desire /
Unashamed desire /
Unashamed desire /
Unashamed desire /
And I'm not afraid to love /
Not afraid to love /
Unashamed desire /


4. Everyone's Waiting
(Written by Missy Higgins & Dan Wilson.)
I know all the lines to say /
The part I'm expected to play /
But in the reflection I am worlds away /
As I put my costume on /
Eyelashes one by one /
Been doing this so long I can tie the knot /
Behind my back /
And everyone's waiting /
But it's getting harder to hear what my heart is saying /
Cos everyone's waiting /
Just swallow and breathe,she says /
Remember this ain't foe you it;s for them /
And all of those painful lessons you're had to learn /
You gotta use them now or never /
Cos everyone's waiting /
But it's grtting harder to hear /
What my heart keeps saying /
Turn it off ,I wanna turn it all off /
When everyone's waiting /
It makesit harder to hear what my heart keeps saying /
Turn if off,I wanna turn it all off /
But everyone's waiting /
I hear that answers appear when you just stand still /
But make it all,how do you make it all stop /
When everyone;s waiting? /

5. All In My Head
(Written by Missy Higgins & Butterfly Boucher.)
I woke / to the sound / of a single note / ringing out /
And I thought / thought you had left me /
I thought you;d disappeard /
It was sadder than any song /
That I ever heard /
But now I know it was all in my head / all in my head /
All this time it was all in my head / all in my head /
I walked every street /
Searched every lonely bar where you might be /
I thought I'd never find you /
I thought all was lost /
It was sadder than any song / that I ever heard /
But now I know it was all in my head / all in my head /
All this time it was all in my head /
All in my head /
I finally found you /
Deep in my heart you'd been hiding out /
I didn't know the dark night of my soul had been blacking you out /
It was all in my head / all in my head /
All this time/ it's all in my head / all in my head /
All this time/ it's all in my head / all in my head /


6. Temporary Love
(Written by Missy Higgins.)
You're doing something /
Something to my heart /
Some kind of motion / that's pulling it apart /
Cos I live on the other side / of the sea /
This is temporary,temporary love /
Only temporary,temporary love /
But somthing's moving / in places I'd forgotten /
The knives you're throwing /
Keep hitting the right spot /
I keep on trying to tell my,trying to tell myself /
This is temporary,temporary love /
Only temporary,temporary love /
This is temporary /
Gotta keep reminding myself that /
This is temporary love (let the love in,let the love in) /
Year this is one sweet moment / But it ain't going to last /
You're doing something / underneath my skin /
I never meant to / let you so far in /
I keep on trying to tell myself /
This is temporary,temporary love /
Only temporary,temporary love /
This is temporary,temporary love /
Only temporary,temporary love /
Gotta keep remingding myself that / this is one sweet moment /
But it ain't goging to last... /


7. Watering Hole
(Written by Missy Higgins & Katie Herzig.)
Watering hole in my head /
Watering hole in my head /
Watering hole,the hole in my head /
I stretched and I scratched and I pulled at that hole /
that watering hole in my head /
in my head / in my head / in my head /
But every night one be one / all of the beasts once ran from / crawl out of the darkness and into my bed /
These vultures of light they must be fed / in my head /in my head / in my head /
Watering hole in my head / all that I pray is one night's rest /
But those creatures arrive with a thirst they want quenched /
and as head as I fight/
They still get in / to my head / to that watering hole / in my head... /


8. Tricks
（Written by Missy Higgins& Katie Herzig.）
I'm done with poetry / I'm done with prose /
I'm done with dressing up these words in delicate clothes /
I'm done with dancing on this here box /
Like a begging dog /
I'm done with smoke screens / and fancy veils /
I'm done with all this petty decorating of myself /
I'm hanging up these / whistles and bells /
Cos I can tell / that none of my tricks work on you /
No matter what I do / you seem to see straight through /
Why don't they work on you? /
I'm done with high heals / ribbons and bows /
I'm done with pulling up my skirt so that you rethink saying no /
I've got no cards left up my sleeve /
I've tried everything to please /
But none of my tricks work on you /
No matter what I do / you seem to see straight through /
Why don't they work on you? /
Guess you should want me the way I am /
Truth is I want to be more than that / so I'm gonna find me someone to believe /
Only the versions I show them of me /
Yeah I'm gonna find me someone I can / hold in the palm of my head /
Cos none of my tricks work on you /
No matter what I do / you seem to see straight through /
Why don't they work on you? /
Why don't my tricks work /
Why don't my tricks work /
Why don't my tricks work on you baby? /
Why don't my tricks work /
Why don't all my tricks work /
Why don't my tricks work on you? /
Cos you're the only one I wanna fool... /


9. If I'm Honest
(Written by Missy Higgins.)
Darling if I'm honest / you've been on my mind / on my mind all day /
And lately if I'm honest /
I can't bring myself to think no other way /
I've been finding all kinds of reckless ways to forget your face /
Like going out on the town spreading around all that love I'd kept foe you /
But no-one touches me like you used to /
It's a shame but it's true /
Nobody loves me the way that you used to /
Darling I've been moving through seas of faces /
Hoping to meet your stare /
And dancing towards any stranger with your crazy eyes or wayward golden hair /
I've been finding all kinds of useless ways just to push it all down /
Like spinning around ,spinning around till I've fallen to the ground /
But no-one touches me like you used to /
It's a shame but it's true /
Nobody loves the way that you used to /
I painted over all the cracks / but now the paint is peeling back /
It's a shame but it's true (nobody loves me) /
When the flame turned blue (nobody loves me) /
It burnt a hole right through /
Now nobody loves me thaht way you used to ... /


10. Cooling Of The Embers
(Written by Missy Higgins.)
You put your hand on top of mine /
You're talking fast but talking blind /
And I can't bring myself to meet your eyes /
'Cos death is slowly coverring you / in galaxies of black and blue /
And under your skin all his colours bloom /
And you're only half here / like someone left a frail body and took the rest /
But I remember when you were strong /Never wanted help from no-one /
What you've become is not who I remember / is this the cooling of the embers? /
She'soff again through summers past / the smell of rain and freshly cut grass /
Seems those ordinary days are the ones that last /
Cos he was there ,the one you loved /the oen you never did let go of /
And there's something you know as you're looking up /
Cos you're only half here /
like someone left a frail body and took the rest /
But I remember when you were strong /Never wanted help from no-one /
What you've become is not who I remember / is this the cooling of the embers? /
is this the cooling of the embers? / Cos you're not who I remember /
It's like you are a child ,you are a child, you're a child once more /
And all of our yesterday's have gone /
You put your hand on top of mine /
You're talking fast but talking blind /
And I cna't bring myself to meet your eyes... /


12. Sweet Arms Of A Tune
(Written by Missy Higgins.)
He told her when she played / wings sprouted from her shoulder blades /
And every bone inside her seemed to change /
So on her fingers moved / Over notes she hoped would soothe / his jagged soul and
caress every groove /
Oh and how she longed to say / that she'd missed his troubled ways /
Oh and if she could she'd do it all again /
But sometimes every word had been used and there's nothing left to do /
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune /
A year ago today / New York City seemed to fall away / to leave only the bed
in which they laid / But an island is just that /
Oh and when the world came flooding back /
All the pillars underneath them began to crack /
Now he's sitting on her floor / She's playing all the minor chords /
Wishing so damn hard that he'd kiss her like before /
But sometimes every word has been used and there's nothing left to do /
But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune /
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune /
Cos sometimes every inch of you is bruised and there's nothing left to prove /
So just hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune /
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune... /
