Dip 03:38
He's on a rip but he's a better rider than the boys who get caught up in the undertow He's on a roll 'cause he's a child of nature Take away the water and you freeze his soul yeah And when he's on the big slide He lets his hand trail through the water And then he really feels alive But he can't tell me why He feels so close to the water She's on the beach and she can see his laughter He's as free as drunken kisses oh yeah And she knows this is the boy she's after Make a little wish But he only lets the waves this close He's in a dip on a road of danger He'll never love if he can't let go yeah He's in the grip of a holy stranger Walking on the water when the sun sets He's on a trip but in a bigger picture Always in the water even when he's dry He takes a sip from the living water Now he's ready for the ride of his life On the big slide

Run 04:11
Sometimes you gotta run into the arms of danger Sometimes you gotta be the sacrifice Sometimes you gotta say things that don't come easy They say just follow your heart but what if it lies? And God only knows How to play this game called life and living So hold me light a candle in the window pane tonight Stop me running from the things that could save my life Well you know I tried to make you love me And I really should have known it'd make you run yeah! Some people always want just a little more than they're given But when it's finally caught well it loses its life You better run, run, run, you better run
3.
Well I never really know why the cold wind blows And the shades go down between you and I All I know all I know is that when you go Something leaves this house and it ain't no home But I come alive With you inside I wait for your sweet voice Guiding me to the right choice I wait for your sweet voice Gotta let it go, let it go To hear your sweet voice Well you speak when you want and to who you want And we can't say who you choose But we try yeah we try to limit you with our human minds In a box you go But when I let it go It's then you show I love you, it's all right I need you, trust in me I'll lead you through tonight I wait for your sweet voice Guiding me to the right choice I wait for your sweet voice Gotta slow down, slow down To hear your sweet voice
4.
All alone in an evil dream I see myself up high And it's me over you with my arms spread open wide I try to run from the place I know that I can be set free Come away, come away there's a sweet voice calling me To the killing tree I look around at all the faces who are passing me And I run, try to run with nails in my feet All the time I was building castles on a sandy beach Leading you, leading you to a place I'd never been To the killing tree, to the killing tree, to the killing tree, come on I know what you're asking me and I don't wanna give 'Cause it's safe and I know 'cause I've been here all these years All the precious pain I hold without it there is fear And I'm afraid when you say that you'll get me outta here To the killing tree, to the killing tree, to the killing tree, come on Come away, come away, come away to a place of healing So now I run to you and I move from night to day For to live I must die and there's still no other way I see you in an evil dream you took my place up high Now it's you over me with your arms spread open wide On the killing tree, On the killing tree, On the killing tree, come on
5.
Home 03:24
And we were sailing upon the water We were fighting the waves and the foam And we were run aground And we were sailing in shallow water It was us or the precious cargo And so we let it go When will we be home? Sometimes it seems like there's nothing better We keep falling into the unknown Will we ever learn? And we were waiting for something bigger Feel it there it calls us on But do we wanna go? No more disconnection Show me revelation And shine the light onto the road Though I know salvation There is separation And my heart it cries for home You say that home is a place of shelter But I wanna home that time or weather Could never break it down
6.
This is forever, always together This ain't no part time love affair Autumn leaves, are falling falling A sudden changing colour scheme Then winter comes, calling calling And freezing every part of me And that is the way we are We move with the seasons But something never changes This is forever, always together This ain't no part time love affair This is forever always together And I will be falling in love Over and over again Spring time's here, we're growing growing Drinking honey with the bumble bees And summer sweet falling over my shoulder And warming every part of me Over and over again
7.
It's more than ordinary This situation she's found herself in tonight There ain't no book about it and she can't take Anymore well meaning advice And one more thing about her She's tried more than twice Where can you hide from the darkness inside you? And where can you run when you've lost your road? What do you say to the voices inside you? When all you try won't make them go away This is his testimony his salvation story Found in the pain of her heart There ain't no use in trying His words just start her crying Reason won't unbreak this heart
8.
Move On 04:07
It's time to move on she said It's time to move on I've been in this prison called yesterday And it's time to move on Paint a picture of a dying tree But hide its withered arms in greenery And place it in the garden called security And you will see the lie that she's been living by 'Round and around and around we go Fooling others but we always know That time it won't wait 'til we're ready to say surrender And there's no time like tonight to let it all go So take all your pain and let it go Do you want to know the truth? he said Or are you happy with the lies? 'Cause I know a story sounds complete Until you hear the other side And I guess you know you've got the frame on me And some would say that God won't let that be But have they read the broken books of history? And is there a guarantee that the truth will set me free? Over and over and over again The truth is forgotten like a summer romance
9.
Welcome my friends to the banquet table All of my friends please gather round So I took a look around to see who he invited here tonight And I noticed she was one of those who sold her body to the night And I saw the banquet host rise and hold this woman close And I felt my anger burn how was she invited here tonight? Notice me here (notice me here) at the banquet table In my rightful place (in my rightful place) This is my time (here I am) And I saw a little man climbing on his chair so he was heard And I noticed he was one who'd rob you blind for all that you were worth And I saw the banquet host rise and fill his empty glass Is there a single shred of justice at this table here tonight?

11.
Welcome to the banquet table All my friends, won't you please gather 'round You've been invited to the banqueting table So look around (repeat) Welcome to the banquet table All my friends, won't you please gather 'round He said you're welcome at my banquet table You're my friends if you've got love inside you're heart No one's righteous no one's better So take a look inside Take a look inside I took a look inside And suddenly I felt my eyes pouring tears on me of liberty And I realized I was one who needed love and setting free My brother here my sister there And the banquet host his empty chair Forgiveness came and sweet relief And then I saw why he invited me tonight Please forgive me Please forgive me
12.
You're the one Left standing on your own Watching the world go by And you're the one Left standing with your pain Up on a movie screen And you're the one Who's got to be so strong 'Cause people need you now You're the one Left standing on your own You want to grieve alone But I'm the one who's got to face the world I've gotta paint my brave face on People need to know that life goes on Even after death has come And you're the one left standing on your own At first we grieve For this departed soul Never to return And then we grieve For those that they had known And those they call their own And last we grieve For our humanity For we know our destiny And you're the one Left here to decide What is on the other side Turn the light on
13.
Dear God 05:12
Dear God I don't understand What you're doing If you're real and you're in control You must see the path we're choosing And I don't understand but somehow I believe It's all in your hands Yeah but I don't believe in a God who gives More of his love to those who say they believe And I've read your book and I think (know) it says It's not what you say but it's how you live Dear God How your name's been used to justify treason And although it hurts me to say Sometimes the enemy's religion
14.
Big Boy 04:26
Who's a big boy? You're running out of excuses And you're gonna have to face the day Don't you know this situation not gonna go away? No more burying your head Like a big bird into the sand And it's time to take some blame For this thing that's gotten out of hand And now we're gonna find What your made of big boy! No more lies and no manipulation No more avoiding all responsibility Well you know it's time That you changed the situation 'Cause we all want to sleep tonight
15.
Let me tell you something Nothing beats my lonely girl For tonight we may be parted But this candle burns And the light it shines forever Out into the night Crossing every single border Like a satellite And even though you're sleeping You know my heart is beating I will take you right here with me All around the world 'Cause in my heart you're always with me All around, all around the world And I'm praying for the angels To guide this jet plane home You say it's safer now than driving But I'd rather see the road And be in charge of my position And not have so far to fall So I ask the God of mercy To let me see my home And hold the sweetest angel And be with my own people Baby every day While I'm away Don't you know that Don't you know that
16.
Weary 04:02
Oh God I'm weary of running I'm so tired of going my own way The things I do Don't have your blessing And so I'm wasting life away Oh holy God I pray There's so many things going And I've been tossed and turned again So I took a walk in the streets this morning And I gave you all my heart again The road is long and I have failed you I've been so angry in my heart And so I ask you please forgive me Please put your love (peace) inside my heart Two are better than one Together twice as much is done If you fall your friend can help you up But if you walk alone Who will watch your back?
17.
Fill My Cup 03:52
Fill my cup to the top With running water Call me out And show me how Come on you lately Come on and rescue me 'Been at you lately But I've been more at me Love is a lesson I never learnt in school Sick in bed that day And so I play your fool Sick of this see-saw Of going up and down Promised consistency To you in my wedding vow Call me up whisper in my ear 'Feel like a calender From another year Talk to me without manipulation Shoot from your hip You'll shock the congregation Wake me up whenever supper's ready I break bread and wine But still I'm feeling empty

about

It was the year 1999 when PC3’s debut album “Serious Fun” was released in the band’s home country of Australia. This low-budget, self-produced, independently released and distributed collections of songs quickly found an audience. Tracks like Dip, Run, The Killing Tree and Dear God resonated deeply with a growing number of people who would soon become known as “Serious Fans”. Responding to the long-lasting devotion of these “Serious Fans” and to celebrate 20 years since the album’s birth, a re-mastered “Serious Fun” has been re-released digitally for all to hear and enjoy.
