QUIET STREET - THE LATE STARTERS VERSE Sitting in a quiet street Resting I’ve put up my feet Watch the sun come streaming through From a sky clean big and blue CHORUS Down in the quiet street We meet those we love to greet Down the quiet street We seek the peace we love to keep Down the quiet street VERSE 2 A busy day without traffic There’s nothing driving round automatic An alpine scent in the air When we lived with no fear CHORUS BRIDGE When cars come driving People are arriving When the cars come driving The street is thriving again CHORUS VERSE 3 Where the brook rarely flows And modern life never shows Paradise at our feet Here in the quiet street CHORUS X 2

CABBAGE TREE - THE LATE STARTERS VERSE 1 Let’s hang in the garden find some things to do There’s nothing better than hide n seek with you We can find a place that we ne - ver knew Am F C Dsus4 A solitude discovered by so few CHORUS Cos I won’t see you and you won’t see me Cos I’ll be hidin in the cabbage tree Woh oh Woh oh Cos you can’t see me and where I’ll be Cos I’m a seed in the cabbage tree Woh oh Woh oh VERSE 2 Am I behind a tree or behind a leaf I don’t know If we get found we’ll have nothing to show In native grass let love fore-ever flow Cos when Santa comes we’ll all be playin in the snow CHORUS BRIDGE I won’t be where I oughta be I’ll be hidin in the cabbage tree I won’t be where oughta be I’ll be hidin in the cabbage tree VERSE 3 Let’s take a ride in the deep blue sky and cruise Residing here a mass connected snooze We could be there or be where-ver we choose Lying here we’ve got nothing to lose CHORUS X 2 OUTRO In the cabbage treeeeee….

CLEAN CLEAR VIEW - THE LATE STARTERS VERSE 1 Mist that won’t go Sun that won’t show Clouds that won’t drift Gloom that won’t lift Will winter go Will summer show Damp & depressed Puffer’s our dress CHORUS We just want to see you But we cannot see you We just want to be part of A clean and clear view VERSE 2 There’s a dull glow Maybe you’ll go You’ve been so rude Dampen the mood As dusk arrives Skies come alive Lifting our worst Magic sunburst CHORUS BRIDGE When the skies emerge and you take us to a brighter place Will the stars converge and be viewable from outer space How will we know that you are never going to show again Fair weather flow of frowning faces leaving us insane FINAL CHORUS (long and building) Ad lib…Clean & clear view

WATCHIN THE TIDE ROLL IN - THE LATE STARTERS VERSE 1 Sun sea swimming and sand A warm laid back land Sampling the local brews Reading the island news Forgetting why you came Hunting the big fish game Weather a big wide grin Watchin the tide roll in PRE-CHORUS How easy would it be To live forever by the sea With the magic that pervades And real life evades CHORUS Beneath the glimmering glow Of the calm shallows below In the shimmering sun Watching the tide roll in VERSE 2 Bikinis stolen looks Lounging reading books Cool in the lagoon Come and join me soon Out in the big deep blue I’ll be waiting there for Watchin the tide roll in PRE-CHORUS CHORUS SOLO PRE-CHORUS CHORUS OUTRO Watching the tide roll in (I’ll be waiting for you) repeat

OHAU – THE LATE STARTERS VERSE 1: A nice and icy aqua stream Lived twice and thrice in an alpine dream The tempting pool that you can’t jump in For the welcome fool with the cheeky grin VERSE 2: A visual vein of our national power Flows freely powerfully every hour The southern strength of a clean green team Sees a crystal sky with no smoke seen CHORUS Ohau O how you are so blue Ohau O how you are so blue Ohau O how you are so blue Ohau O how you are so blue VERSE 3: A feeding stream from a southern lake Gives daily life for the fish we take The leisure landscape for pleasure craft Lay seaborne sights forward and aft VERSE 4: When Hops & Dobson fathered you They did so from a glacial view Provincial boundary cycling foundry Shining light in MacKenzie country CHORUS: BRIDGE: I don’t wanna get caught in the water with you x 4 CHORUS: D G Asus4 First two bars quiet (drum sticks) Next two bars all together Outro: So Blue, So Blue

BROKEN GOOD - THE LATE STARTERS VERSE 1: (PM) In the beginning it was a family A place where Everyone was happy How can you take What you didn’t make And pull it apart It was right from the start CHORUS Now its broken and its broken good Its now broken and its broken good Now its broken and its broken good Its now broken and its broken good VERSE 2: With best intentions Your interventions Have caused despair But do you care? Where loyalty’s A penalty The place to be’s The family tree CHORUS BRIDGE Fun and laughter have been replaced (Fun and laughter have been replaced) A corporate world no human face (A corporate world no human face) Once before there was work and play (Once before there was work and play) We pray again for the morning ray (We pray again for the morning ray) VERSE 3 Many have come And played their part Many have come And given their heart The ties that bound Are no longer found The ties that bound Cut by a clown CHORUS

GOODNESS IS GREAT – THE LATE STARTERS VERSE 1 Walking through a forest Along a leafy lane Whatever lies here for us Will never be the same Taken by the danger Abandoned by the shame Our love is not a stranger In this dangerous game CHORUS You thought I could forget cha You thought I’d never would But how could I forget cha When our goodness is great You thought I would forget cha You wondered if I should But how could I forget cha When our goodness is great G short VERSE 2 Moving on forever We’ll never be alone Won’t drift apart together Our seeds already sown Not stranded on the ocean Or sailing in the sea Conflicted by emotion Together we are three CHORUS INSTRU VERSE 3 The past is not our future Consigned to history I could never miss ya Remain a mystery Drive to the horizon Driven by our fate Inspired by the sun Where your goodness is great CHORUS X 2 Your goodness is great CHORUS X 2
