Sadly Wayne Austen passed away many, many years ago but thanks to the follicly challenged yet charming channeller Curtis Bollokov, he is able to speak to us from beyond the grave and comment upon the madness of the world today and share some ditties he rather likes....
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
Sail this night, ocean Filling my sleep so gently Just let it take you Just let it steer They sail light, ocean Sail this night, ocean Shimmer like gold, They're singing Filling my sleep so gently Just let it take you Just let it steer Just let it take you This is easy
And a task that seems impossible, is quite possible for you. A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through. It may not seem like very much right now, It'll do, it'll do. When you find yourself in the middle of a storm, And you're tired and cold and wet, And you're looking for a place that's cozy and warm, You'll make it; you can never forget! A kind and steady heart, can conquer doubt and fear. A little courage goes a long, long way, Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day, And before you know it, you'll hear someone say, "That'll do, Babe, that'll do." A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through. A little courage goes a long, long way, Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day, And before you know it, you'll hear someone say, "That'll do, that'll do, that'll do, Babe, that'll do
'Just one of many good songs from this group of talented fellows.'

You've been my queen for longer than you know
My love for you has been Everything step I take Every day I live Everything I see And if I get things wrong Don't want you to think I'm running away But I heard from Jo about this guy And I want to know What did he say? He called me baby, baby all night long What did he do? He called me baby, baby all night long Why? Why? Why, did you need him? Where was I? Just how close to you is he? Every smile you gave Every touch you made Every word you said And it hurts beyond hurt It was a love that blinds And a love that stings When I heard from Jo about this guy And I want to know What did he say? He called me baby, baby all night long What did he do? He called me baby, baby all night long What did he do? He called you baby, baby all night long What did he do? He called me baby, baby all night long What did he say? He called me baby, baby, all night long What did he do? He called you baby, baby, all night long I know he called you babe All night long
'A really lovely song I have known for sometime and, though not the official video, a very nice picture montage.'

When she passes me by, she's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun from the sky And I know she's a Queen, who deserves a king But I'm not a King And she doesn't see me When she dances she moves me to a smile I see everything near her shine There is a grace in her ways I can't contain I don't have that grace So she doesn't see me and the closer I get I can't help but hide so ashamed of my body and voice There are boundaries we pass in spite of the war but our own, we can't seem to cross he has a way that surrounds him, so delicate with a glory that reigns in his life He is all so so much that he is not but these things they don't see and she doesn't see me there are things we can change if we just choose to fight but the walls of injustice are high when she passes me by, she's a ray of light Like the first drop of sun from the sky and I know she's a queen who deserves a king someone other than me different from me she doesn't see me she doesn't see me
'This takes me back to life in Nethershire...sigh. 'Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you'll find me, and I know you're walking right behind me....' Enjoy. '

When you taught me how to dance
Years ago, with misty eyes, Every step and silent glance, Every move, a sweet surprise. Someone must have taught you well, To beguile and to entrance, For that night you cast your spell, And you taught me how to dance.
Like reflections in a lake I recall what went before. As I give, I’ll learn to take, And will be alone no more Other lights may light my way I may even find romance; But I won’t forget that night When you taught me how to dance
Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you’ll find me And I know you’re walking right behind me,
When you taught me how to dance Years ago, with misty eyes, Every step and silent glance, Every move, a sweet surprise. Someone must have taught you well, To beguile and to entrance, For that night you cast your spell, And you taught me how to dance. And you taught me how to dance.
but never found someone like you. Someone whose smile makes me feel I've been holding back, and now there's nothing I can't do.
'Cause this is real, and this is good. It warms the inside just like it should, but most of all it's built to last.
All of our friends saw from the start. So why didn't we believe it too? Whoa yeah, now look where we are. You're in my heart now. And there's no escaping it for you.
'Cause this is real, and this is good. It warms the inside just like it should, but most of all it's built to last.
Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight You and I were made to get love right
'Cause this is real, and this is good. It warms the inside just like it should, but most of all it's built to last.
'Cause you are the sun in my universe, considered the best when we've felt the worst and most of all it's built to last.
