Adelaide Will Always Be My Home
(R. Hood/C, Stewart)
We got hills to the east
And beaches to the west
Suburbs in the north and south as well
We got everybody covered
From Elizabeth to Hackham
And also from Burnside to Glenelg
Adelaide will always be my home
Adelaide will always be my home
We love our sport in Adelaide
We always like to win
To the point of being fanatical they say
Between the Crows, the Power, the 36ers
The Reds and the Redbacks too
And for the Adelaide Cup we even have a holiday
Adelaide will always be my home
Adelaide will always be my home
In Summer it gets really hot
And Winter it gets cold
In Spring we have the blossoms
In Autumn the leaves are gold
It doesn’t matter where I go
Across the country or abroad
My home town of Adelaide
Is the place where I look forward
To come home to
This town is famous far and wide
And all around the world
For its music and its creativity
We got the Adelaide Fringe, the Festival
Plus, our local music scene
It grips the rest of the nation in jealousy
Adelaide will always be my home
Adelaide will always be my home
Adelaide will always be my home
Adelaide will always be my home

Just Be Yourself
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
If it feels wrong, don't do it
Say exactly what you mean
Coz you don’t get a prize for being nice
If what’s required is honesty
You don’t need to be a people pleaser
Just so you can get along
Coz if people can’t see who you’re meant to be
Then at the end of the day they are wrong
Just go and be yourself
Coz everybody else is taken
You know there’s nobody else
You don’t need an explanation
Always trust your intuition
It’s a handy skill to learn
Coz if you ever find out what is causing your doubts
You can escape it and not get hurt
Always be kind to others
And in return they will be kind to you
Coz a smile is free between you and me
This is the undeniable truth
Just go and be yourself
Coz everybody else is taken
You know there’s nobody else
You don’t need an explanation
Never speak badly about yourself
And never give up on your dreams
Don't be afraid to say yes or no to a world
That is crazier than it seems
Keep the good things close to your heart now
And let go of what you can't control
And stay away from toxic people
Their negativity will swallow you whole
Just go and be yourself
Coz everybody else is taken
You know there’s nobody else
You don’t need an explanation

I Look Towards The Stars
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
I always find that late at night
Is when I miss you the most
But when I go outside I somehow
Feel so much closer to you
But when I’m missing you
All I need to do is look towards the stars
Coz when I’m feeling blue
All I need to do is look towards the stars
You are always on my mind
From the time I rise until I sleep
As my hands cradle your photograph
The memories come flooding back to me
But when I’m missing you
All I need to do is look towards the stars
Coz when I’m feeling blue
All I need to do is look towards the stars
You know I love you to the moon and back
You know my love will never die
But when the night disappears in the morning
That’s my time for me to say goodbye
But when I’m missing you
All I need to do is look towards the stars
Coz when I’m feeling blue
All I need to do is look towards the stars
But when I’m missing you
All I need to do is look towards the stars

Little Sister (Song For Barbie)
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
Little sister, there's nothing better
Then to have you in my life
You and I, we've grown up together
We've seen a lot in our time
You've made me laugh and you've made me cry
Plus, all emotions in-between
My little sister, I couldn't live without you
But nothing lasts forever and that is reality...
This little song is for you and what I sing is the truth
I won't stop loving you for the rest of my lifetime
I will be here to wipe away your tears
After all of these years and for the rest of my, for the rest of my life
Oh little sister, I live in hope
And pray that you'll be safe
From all the harm that's in our world
It's time for you and me to escape
Oh little sister, just take my hand
And let me walk with you please
Let's take the stairway to the moon
Coz I want to take you there in my dreams
This little song is for you and what I sing is the truth
I won't stop loving you for the rest of my lifetime
I will be here to wipe away your tears
After all of these years and for the rest of my, for the rest of my life
You always told me that if I ever wanted to leave
That you wouldn't stand in my way but can't you see
I just want to put my arms around you
Just hug you and never let you go
Your family is right here beside you
But it’s this one thing that we want you to know
This little song is for you and what I sing is the truth
I won't stop loving you for the rest of my lifetime
I will be here to wipe away your tears
After all of these years and for the rest of my…
This little song is for you and what I sing is the truth
I won't stop loving you for the rest of my lifetime
I will be here to wipe away your tears
After all of these years and for the rest of my...
And for the rest of my, for the rest of my, for the rest of my life

Molly And Me
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
I’m cruising down Highway one
In my '57 Customline
With my most favourite guitar
Right there by my side
It’s a Fender Strat with Aboriginal art
Painted on her body we will never part
Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me
Molly’s the name of my favourite guitar
And she is the love of my life
If Molly was a real woman
I wouldn’t hesitate to make her my wife
From the morning light to the dark of night
The music we make it sounds so right
Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me
Making music in the heart of the city
And out in the country too
She is always with me wherever I go
Just being with her lightens my mood
I will never get tired of her beautiful tone
With Molly there with me I’m never alone
Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me
Coz it’s plain to see, Molly and Me

Family Is Everything
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
My family is who I am, they hold me really close
In every kind of weather, they’re the ones I love the most
My family are the only ones who really understands
That in every situation we will have each other’s back
Family is everything, it’s everything I love
My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad
We all fit like a glove
Family is everything, my love is unreserved
My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad
Are the centres of my world
My family they make me laugh and they also make me cry
Through good times and the bad times, from hello's to goodbye's
My best friends are my family we share our lives together
It comforts me to know they’re there right now and forever
Family is everything, it’s everything I love
My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad
We all fit like a glove
Family is everything, my love is unreserved
My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad
Are the centres of my world
My family is all I have, they are my eyes, ears and soul
Without them I am nothing, my family makes me whole
I can always count on them when times are really hard
And celebrate our victories, I know we’ll never part
Family is everything, it’s everything I love
My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad
We all fit like a glove
Family is everything, my love is unreserved
My brothers and sisters and Mum and Dad
Are the centres of my world

On The Wings Of An Angel
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
The moment you died my heart was torn in two
One side was filled with grief the other died with you
I often lie awake when the world is asleep
And walk down memory lane with tears on my cheeks
Missing you I do it every day
But remembering you will never go away
Coz I hold you tightly within my heart
And there you'll remain we will never part
I know the love that I had for you
Was a love that was felt by a chosen few
My broken heart is battered and sore
But my love for you will last forever more
I do not know how much time remains
Until you and I will meet again
But what's important to me at this moment in time
Is that I keep all the memories you left behind
I will shine this light on your legacy
There'll be no more shadows for you and me
Out of the darkness and into the light
The wings of an angel have now taken flight
Out of the darkness and into the light
The wings of an angel have now taken flight
Out of the darkness and into the light
The wings of an angel have now taken flight

This Is My Rant
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
Why is it that you feel sad
When people want to help you?
When people want to show you
That you're important enough
I know we all need a little help
To get us through the day
Because life can be tough
When you have no more words to say
These are my thoughts and my feelings
This is my rant to the world
These are my hopes and my dreamings
While waiting for my life to unfold
People say that they understand
But they don't know a thing
They really don't know the hurt
That their words can bring
I sit in my bedroom sometimes
And just let the tears flow
Coz no-one can hurt me here
While I'm hiding from the life I know
These are my thoughts and my feelings
This is my rant to the world
These are my hopes and my dreamings
While waiting for my life to unfold
This is my rant to the world, this is my rant to the world
This is my rant to the world, this is my rant to the world
There are times that I feel
I’m at the bottom of a never-ending hole
Where no light can get through
To light up my world
But I know I have the strength inside
To crawl my way out
Where I can free myself
From all my fears and doubts
These are my thoughts and my feelings
This is my rant to the world
These are my hopes and my dreamings
While waiting for my life to unfold

The Day I Hold You In Heaven
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
A million times I’ve needed you
And a million times I’ve cried
If love could ever save you
You never would’ve died
In life I loved you dearly
In my heart I love you still
I keep inside a special place
That no-one else can fill
The day I hold you in heaven
Is a day I look forward to
The day I hold you in heaven
Will be a special day, where we can start again
Me and you
I’ve always been afraid of losing
Somebody like you
In my dreams we last forever
But I know this is not true
And even though I live my life
Without you by my side
I see you watching over me
Every time I close my eyes
The day I hold you in heaven
Is a day I look forward to
The day I hold you in heaven
Will be a special day, where we can start again
The day I hold you in heaven
Is a day I look forward to
The day I hold you in heaven
Will be a special day, where we can start again
Me and you

The Christmas Pageant
(R. Hood/ C. Stewart)
That time of year has come around
The Christmas Pageant is in town
And everyone can feel the festive vibe
The alarm is set it’s time for sleep
But no-one here is counting sheep
The anticipation make you feel alive
Coz it’s something we’ve been waiting for all year
The official start of all the Christmas cheer
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
At the Christmas Pageant
The closer we get into town
The traffic bustles all around
Coz we’re all going in the same direction
We finally start to walk towards
North Terrace and the restless hoards
To take our place in an Adelaide tradition
Coz it’s something we’ve been waiting for all year
The official start of all the Christmas cheer
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
At the Christmas Pageant
The marching bands go passing by
The funny clowns they catch my eye
And the floats with all their sights and sounds
The kids are waiting patiently
Coz there’s one thing that they want to see
It’s Father Christmas delighting all the crowd
Coz it’s something we’ve been waiting for all year
The official start of all the Christmas cheer
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
So grab the kids it’s time to go
We got to get ourselves a spot
At the Christmas Pageant

Heart Went BOOM!
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
This was never the way I planned
It was never my intention
But I got so brave and with my heart in hand
I lost all sense of direction
This is not what I am used to
I feel so awkward inside
I have stepped right out of my comfort zone
With nowhere else to hide
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
This taste of heavenly love
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
It's like you were sent from above
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
I don't even know your name
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
I wanna get to know you just the same
I know that this is human nature
It's what people often do
When two potential lovers meet
Across a crowded room
My head says no but my heart says yes
I'm feeling so confused
But I can feel the touch of your caress
Even before you do
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
This taste of heavenly love
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
It's like you were sent from above
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
I don't even know your name
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
I wanna get to know you just the same
Yes, I know it’s wrong but it feels so right
Just you and me baby on this cold winters night
Yes, I know it’s wrong but it’s only for tonight
Let’s give in to each other baby
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
This taste of heavenly love
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
It's like you were sent from above
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
I don't even know your name
My heart went BOOM and I liked it
I wanna get to know you just the same

My Promise To You
(R. Hood/C. Stewart)
I promise that I will make you
The happiest girl around
I’ll be there whenever you need me
And I’ll take extra care of your feelings
I promise that I will love you
Just the way you are
Doesn’t matter to me if you were deaf, dumb or blind
Coz what matters to me is what’s inside
Ah, ha, this is my promise to you
Ah, ha, ha…
Ah, ha, this is my promise to you
Ah, ha, ha…
I promise that I will say to you
Whatever is on my mind
You can trust in me like I trust in you
There will never be a secret between us two
I promise that I’ll do anything
To keep our love alive
Between you and me I’ll do what it takes
Because we got the rest of our lives at stake
Ah, ha, this is my promise to you
Ah, ha, ha…
Ah, ha, this is my promise to you
Ah, ha, ha…
I promise that I’ll be there by your side
In good times and in bad
Coz this journey that we take together
Will be a journey that will last forever
I promise that our relationship
Will go down in history
We can build ourselves a brand new life
But we gotta take it slowly a day at a time
Ah, ha, this is my promise to you
Ah, ha, ha…
Ah, ha, this is my promise to you
Ah, ha, ha…
