They had my future wrapped up in a parcel
And no one even thought of asking me
The day I turned fifteen I caught the mail train
To find out what else might be in life for me
Well I rode on trucks and trains
and lived on nothin'
Served me right for wanting to be free
Ah well that's the way society looked at it
But it didn't seem to be that way to me
And the biggest disappointment in the family
was me
The only twisted branch upon
our good old family tree
I just couldn't be the person
they expected me to be
And the biggest disappointment in the world
was me
A lot more dinner times than there were dinners
I learned a lot that hurt me at the time
Then this quiet country boy
went home a different man
With a memory of distance on my mind
Maybe drank too many glasses down
And perhaps my clothes were older than I realised
A relief to all concerned when I left town
And the biggest disappointment in the family
was me
The only twisted branch upon
our good old family tree
I just couldn't be the person
they expected me to be
And the biggest disappointment in the world
was me
And the biggest disappointment in the family
was me
The only twisted branch upon
our good old family tree
I just couldn't be the person
they expected me to be
And the biggest disappointment in the world
was me

Confide In Me

I have hardly been outside my room in days,
Cos I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,

The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees
The time has come to say fair...

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 ...

Like a freeze dried rose
You will never be, what you were
What you were to me in memory
But if I listen to the dark...

Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh, and breathe them deep into your lungs
