From the album "My Friend the Chocolate Cake". Dedicated to young blokes that grew into tired dads. My neighbour does some funny things He's got three kids and he's got six drinks to go Before he sleeps tonight Singing liberation songs out on the front veranda My neighbour falls asleep out there He wakes up the next morning with the sun And it reminds him that it's time, well, it's off to work we go It's always one day starting way behind another Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Dreaming is a casual thing you do if you believe In just by chance one day the lovely things will come true But he's way past thinking that, it's now a day by day proposal He's lost his magic, christ, he'd like to get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Once upon a time there were so many plans Holidays and blossoms and some fine romance But it's all behind him now, there's no game plan to be followed He's lost his magic. Christ, he'd like to get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now Get it back now, get it back now, get it back now.... + Informações

From the album, "My Friend the Chocolate Cake". Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be For ye shall bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.. + Informações

From the album, "My Friend the Chocolate Cake". She's walking the railroad She's walking away She stares over the sleepers, the tracks start to join. Right off in the distance at the end of the bridge there's mist off the water her breath bites the air. She's taking her girls away from that town They smiled when they told her With puritan grace You can't raise your children If you're living alone But the webs on the window the slush on the ground the ice and the cold the furnace and dust. She's taking her girls away from that town Now they're out on the river, rowing away from the town, the homeless set round fires on the side of the lake. And they sang as they sailed She stared at the sky and the boat filled with water but only so far. She's taking her girls away from that town. + Informações

David Bridie and Helen Mountfort from My Friend The Chocolate Cake perform "Pentecostal Girl" on 'Mornings with Kerri-Anne', Nine Network Australia, April 19 2007. Some background to the song: David heard the album "No!" by They Might Be Giants and was inspired to write a narrative song in a similarly lighthearted vein, a style he has seldom tackled. He remembered a childhood crush he'd had on the older sister of his schoolfriend Peter whose family were Pentecostal Christians. David actually attended one of the family's church services, probably so he could spend more time gawping at his friend's sister. Early in the service, however, he was startled to see her start speaking in tongues, at which point her father immediately (and loudly) said, "oh... she always has to be first, she's such a show off". David somehow managed to expertly work this anecdote into rhyming lines and verses for early solo performances of the song, however while arranging it for the band it became clear the two verses needed to be condensed into one, hence the device of "the woman sitting in front". In the TV clip David sings "What chance have I got/I've got no hair on my chest". The real line is "I've got no hair on my balls or my chest". The word "balls" was omitted at the request of Kerri-Anne's producers. The line "She's on a direct phone line to Jesus/And she screams like she just doesn't care" sometimes becomes "she screams like He's really there", depending on David's mood!. + Informações
