The Stranger
It was on Queen Street
Auckland, we mystically met.
I hurried past up hill
to swiftly change in hotel room.
I felt presence reach
out, as I rapidly pasted.
I stopped; to glance around.
What had arrested motion?
This unknown man would be
singular alone anywhere.
We looked searching out secrets
deep within each others eyes.
Dressed he was in shielding travel stained
clothes of youth's pilgrims who travel.
Seeking an answer to impelling souls.
Moths ever magnetically magically drawn on.
It was on Queen Street, in my beloved Auckland,
in Aotearoa New Zealand, we mystically met.

`For'ard
It is stuffy in the steerage where the second-classers sleep,
For there's near a hundred for'ard, and they're stowed away like sheep, --
They are trav'lers for the most part in a straight 'n' honest path;
But their linen's rather scanty, an' there isn't any bath --
Stowed away like ewes and wethers that is shore 'n' marked 'n' draft.
But the shearers of the shearers always seem to travel aft;
In the cushioned cabins, aft,
With saloons 'n' smoke-rooms, aft --
There is sheets 'n' best of tucker for the first-salooners, aft.
Our beef is just like scrapin's from the inside of a hide,
And the spuds were pulled too early, for they're mostly green inside;
But from somewhere back amidships there's a smell o' cookin' waft,
An' I'd give my earthly prospects for a real good tuck-out aft --
Ham an' eggs 'n' coffee, aft,
Say, cold fowl for luncheon, aft,
Juicy grills an' toast 'n' cutlets -- tucker a-lor-frongsy, aft.
They feed our women sep'rate, an' they make a blessed fuss,
Just as if they couldn't trust 'em for to eat along with us!

When Albani Sang
Was workin' away on de farm dere, wan
morning not long ago,
Feexin' de fence for winter--'cos dat's

W'en Jeremie Plouffe, ma neighbor, come

'Antoine, you will come on de city,
for hear Ma-dam All-ba-nee?'
'W'at you mean?' I was sayin' right off, me,
'Some woman was mak' de speech,
Or girl on de Hooraw Circus, doin' high

'Non--non,' he is spikin'--'Excuse me,

Was leevin' down here on de contree, two

'She's jus' comin' over from Englan', on

The Best Way To Travel
And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to
Faster than light if you want to
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
Its all a dream
Light passing by on the screen
And theres you and I on the beam
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
We ride the waves
Distance is gone, will we find out?
How life bean, will be find out?
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to
Faster than light if you want to
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel

Soul Rebel
Im a rebel, soul rebel
Im a capturer, soul adventurer
See the morning sun, on the hillside
Not living good, yeah
You better travel wide

Said Im a living man
Ive got work to do
If youre not happy, children
Then you must be blue
I said, you must be blue
Im a rebel, soul rebel
Im a capturer, soul adventurer
Im a rebel, rebel in the morning time
Soul rebel
Im a capturer
Soul adventurer
See the morning sun, on the hillside
Not living good, yeah
You better travel wide

Smalltime Shot Away
3d :
Tucked it in
Dropped a lie
Turn me off
(I travel I travel)
We never leave each other cause we leave each other so cold
It makes a madder way
The easy part is taking yourself in
Its wartime every time
A shot away
Wipe the smile from your face
Its getting in the way
Its wartime every time
She caught me on a lie and she turned me off
She made it cold
You couldnt do it if you wanted to
(believe me believe me)
Its wartime every time
Small talk every time
Its my favourite chloroform

Harem Holiday
(words & music by peter andreoli - vince poncia jr.)
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
Im gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girls gonna know Im around
Theyre gonna know Im in town on a harem holiday
Twenty women, twenty women by my side
Im gonna kiss them all, because Ive gotta keep em satisfied
Gonna have the best time money can buy
Im gonna be flying high on a harem holiday
If romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that juliet would have never been his girl forever
Gonna go back, gonna catch that midnight plane
Twenty dancing girls are waiting just to call my name
Gonna have a ball, I aint gonna waste no time
Im gonna make em all mine on a harem holiday
If romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that juliet would have never been his girl forever
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
Im gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girls gonna know Im around
