Mystery lyrics
Songs that are completely unidentifiable. If anyone finds this page, two people will be wondering what on earth these songs are.
The transcriptions below may contain the odd error. After all, as a kid, “craving your kiss” became “gravying your chips”, and “you share my reverie” became “you share my rubber ring”.

It’s so hard to say why love’s gotta find.
[ inaudible ]
Can’t predict the way your heart will grow,
as though [ inaudible ]Gonna keep trying [ ... ]
fighting for the love we once knew.If you leave me now,
I won’t stand in your way.
If you leave me now,
I won’t stand in your way.It would break my heart,
but I won’t stand in your way.
It would break my heart,
but I won’t stand in your way.I wanna keep trying.
I wanna keep fighting.
[ inaudible ]
I wanna keep fighting.
[ inaudible ]Many times I thought [ inaudible ]
[ inaudible ]There were signs we’d drift apart,
but I was justifying.
I wanna keep trying.
I wanna keep finding new ways to love.I wanna keep fighting,
for the love we once knew.
Dreaming
Featured in Ian Bell’s Fragmentary Glimpses of Eternity volume 3 (start of track 4).
[ inaudible ]
Did you see them in your dreaming?
Did you see them come ashore?
The soldiers and the convicts,
the scapegoats of English law.
An end to your dreaming, the white man has come,
with rattle of chains and roar of gun.
With their flag of love, your land they’ll take,
and the next time you dream, you’ll never awake.Did you see them in your dreaming?
Did you see the buildings rise?
Did you see the bridge cross the harbour?
Did you see the jumbos in the skies?Chorus:
Did you see them in your dreaming?
The promises you’d get.
Did you hear the white man scheming, to keep you waiting yet.[ repeat chorus ]
An end to all your dreaming,
did [ inaudible ]
But you’d be dropping from the bullets,
or you’d be hiding [ inaudible ]
You’ve been listening to a government,
with promise in its eyes,
with greed down in its belly, and in its mouth just lies.[ chorus ]
[ repeat chorus ]
Did you see them in your dreaming?
