Doors and Bridges Wayne Jury
V/1
Some folks are with us for a short time, and some say they’ve been here too long
Some shine a light in the dark of the night when everything seems to go wrong.
My Brother was strong and dependable but his time here was cut short by half
And who knows why it was his time to die and nothing I could do was enough.
Chorus 1
Now I know that his time was over, all this thinking’s not doing me right
What is done is done. And there ain’t no one who could change it, or help make it right.
We’ll meet again one day as brothers, when blood is gone and bones are dust
We’ll meet on the road called forgiveness, through the doors and the bridges we’ve crossed.
V/2
Death defying acts of compassion, many an aeon will cross
And the milk of human kindness lives somewhere in everyone’s heart
My brother you kept it hidden, locked away like it’s some kind of shame
But pounded your door like a working class Whore, demanding she wants to be paid.
Chorus 2
And in time I’ll find forgiveness, ‘cause that’s the road I’m travelling on
Shine a light down ancient highways our ancestors walked once before
We’ll meet again one day as brothers, when blood is gone and bones are dust
We’ll meet on the road called forgiveness, through the doors and the bridges we’ve crossed.
M/8
Life is a bitter sweet mistress, no quarter is given some days.
You were down on your knees and you still tried to stand, it broke my heart just to witness.
And when the last breath came for those that remain Sweet relief that the suffering is gone
Life goes on.
V/3
At rivers bend, I will meet you, and we’ll sit with no need for words
And sorry, won’t have any meaning because time doesn’t know it exists.
And as the golden light flickers and dances’ through the leaves of the eucalypt trees
I’ll lay down a swag there beside you, in the cool of the soft evening breeze
Chorus 2
And in time we’ll learn forgiveness, that’s the road I’m looking for
Shine a light down ancient highways, together we’ve walked once before
We’ll meet again one day as brothers, when blood is gone and bones are dust
We’ll meet on that road called forgiveness, through the doors and the bridges we’ve crossed
We’ll meet on the road called forgiveness, through the doors and the bridges we’ve crossed.

It’s a new day (Song of indifference) Wayne Jury
This is a song of indifference; just take your place in the queue
Or if you like, leave your number and someday I’ll get back to you
Turn on reality TV. On your tablet or telephone.
See me and all of my problems, in case you don’t have enough of your own.
I need some gratification; you know I need it today
How come I feel dislocation? When I can’t have it all my own way?
Imagine more is the headline, on the billboards and in your news feed
The neighbours have got more than I got, so that’s how much stuff that I need.
How come I can’t have that lifestyle, famous, and rich and complete?
I want what I am entitled, and I expect it for free.
Just take the corporate position; they need to sell more stuff
I’ll suck it up like a siphon, but somehow it’s never enough.
It’s a new day, tomorrow is a new day People it’s a new day the sun is shining It’s a new day, tomorrow is a new day People
If you came looking for justice, I’d say you’re in the wrong place
Justice, just up and left us, in the corner it’s hiding its face
The bullies came armed with dollars; they argued that right can be wrong
Supported by Lawyers and scholars, the arm of the law can be long
I guess I’ll just lay here and wallow and not give a damn how it goes
Whatever they serve up I’ll swallow, while the Media holds on to my nose
I’ll wake tomorrow and feel good, in my comfortable middle class bed
With slogans and a few zillion sound bites running around in my head
It’s a new day, Tomorrow is a new day people, it’s a new day, the sun is shining, it’s a new day, tomorrow is a new day people.

Jimmi Jimmi - Wayne Jury
Jimmi Jimmi why you hang your head so low
Jimmi Jimmi what you going through
Kickin’ stones and hanging round the streets all day
Jimmi Jimmi what you gonna do with your life
Opportunity is there; you just need a reason to care
Gimme Gimme life, gimme love
Gimme Gimme faith, in this world
Gimme Gimme strength, so I can face this world alone
Gimme Gimme life, gimme love
Gimme Gimme love, love so strong
Gimme Gimme dreams, so I can dream a better day
Jimmi Jimmi there’s trouble here and trouble there
Jimmi Jimmi if you seek you’ll find
Happiness is something you can give the world
Jimmi if you keep an open mind
It comes down to me and you, there’s nothing else that we can do
Gimme Gimme life, gimme love
Gimme Gimme faith, in this world
Gimme Gimme strength, so I can face this world alone

Gimme Gimme dreams, so I can dream a better day
Jimmi, Jimmi you say this world is in a mess
Jimmi, Jimmi that ain’t exactly true
You say one man hate his sisters and his brothers too
Money, greed and fear makes ‘ em do it
It comes down to you and me, Shine a light for all too see,
Gimme Gimme life, gimme love
Gimme Gimme faith, in this world
Gimme Gimme strength, so I can face this world alone
Gimme Gimme life, gimme love
Gimme Gimme love, love so strong
Gimme Gimme dreams, so I can dream a better day

King of the broken Heart Wayne Jury key C
V/1
If you loved me, like I love you
You would keep it, to yourself
Cause you know, the pain, and heartbreak
That a love like ours could bring
V/2
We meet as friends, in company
I kiss your cheek and you kiss me
But I long to hold you closer
To feel your heart beat on mine
But if we can’t be lovers then friends we shall be
‘Cause I’d rather have you in my life than to not have you at all
V/3
So long, goodbye, I’ll see you again
Go home to your family, we’ll still be friends
And I’ll keep my secret, locked safe inside
And no one will know, all the love that I hide
And I guess I’ll just be happy
To know you’re treated right.
And you’ll never know, that I love you, love you so
‘cause if I knew, that you loved me too
It would tear our worlds apart
Cause I’m the King of the bro-ken heart.
Yes I’m the King, Yes I’m the King, oh I’m the King
I’m the King of the bro-ken heart.

Rain Wayne Jury
Beyond the horizon, the buildings rise high
In the house of the fallen, where the earth meets the sky
There are cracks in the earth where my seed used to grow
No water above me, No water below
Rain, Wash me clean. Rain, Oh I believe
The joy of living, the pain of the grief
The fear of dying can shake your belief
They bring cold comfort, those clouds on the hill
But a bottle of moonshine from my Grandfathers still
Rain, Wash me clean. Rain, Oh I believe
Rain, Take me home. Rain, Cleanse my soul
In the dark before dawn I am under
And the water around takes me down
Amber and cool it surrounds me
I surrender.... and sink, like a stone
Instrumental Chorus
The Willy Willy rises, a mouth full dust
I’d eat this brown dirt if I knew that I must
To save my family and my dignity
Do I beg for forgiveness or get down on my knees?
Rain, Wash me clean. Rain, Oh I believe
Rain, Take me home. Rain, cleanse my soul, and set me free
Rain, wash me clean. Rain, I believe.
Rain, take me home. Rain, cleanse my soul
