Paul Kelly - Vocal, Acoustic guitar
Joseph was an old man, an old man was he
When he married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee
As Joseph and Mary were walking one day
To an orchard of cherry trees they chanced for to stray
And Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild
"Will you pick some cherries for me, for I am with child"
But Joseph flew angry, so angry flew he
"Let the father of your baby gather cherries for thee!"
When up spoke baby Jesus, from in his mother's womb
"Bow down, oh you cherry trees, bow low to the ground"
And the cherry trees then bowed down so low to the ground
And Mary gathered chеrries while Joseph stood around
Now Josеph took Mary and sat her on his knee
And said "Tell me, little baby, when your birthday shall be?"
"On the fifth day of January my birthday shall be
And the stars in the heavens shall all bow down to me"
Then Mary asked Jesus, a question asked she
“Oh, tell me, pretty baby, what will become of thee?.’
'O I will die and be dead, mother as the stones in the wall;
O the stones in the streets, mother, shall mourn for me all.
Upon Easter-day morning my uprising shall be;
And the sun and the moon, mother, they shall rise up with me.'

IF NOT NOW
It’s a splinter in the mind, a whisper in the heart
A feeling something’s missing, some crucial little part
It’s business that’s unfinished, a reckoning that’s due
If not now, then when? If not us, then who?
It’s a simple proposition to join the new and old
A chance to make our country larger in its soul
It’s an invitation offered to set our course anew
If not now, then when? If not us, then who?
How long can we keep walking with this stone in our shoe?
If not now, then when? If not us, then who?
We may never get another chance like this again
If not us, then who? If not now, then when
Too many falling far behind, shut out of the deal
If you called and no-one heard you, imagine how you’d feel
This land was never given, it was taken and then sold
But its ancient songs and stories are a gift greater than gold
The status quo is busted, let’s stop kicking that old can
If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
It’s business that’s unfinished, high time to see it through
If not now, then when? If not us, then who?

Khawaja loved the game of cricket since he was a boy
With his good friend Davey, it was their pride and joy
Khawaja-a-a!
He took the train down to the SCG
He said, ‘Dave one day we’ll play there on day, you and me’
He loved his bat and ball and gloves, he loved his batting pads
He played a million weekend games in front of mums and dads
Khawaja-a-a!
Cricket lit a fire deep in his soul
And every day he worked on his control
Usman Khawaja soon he showed his grace
He knew how to leave the ball and how to set the pace
He set himself to conquer speed and swing and spin and seam
Before too long he made the national team
Khawaja pretty soon found out that when you reach the top
It’s only temporary, everybody wants your spot
Khawaja-a-a!
For reasons we don’t always know
Selectors say yes sometimes then say no
And at the age of 35 when most thought he was through
He got some luck and got the call and to himself stayed true
Khawaja-a-a!
At the SCG he made a stunning ton,
And then backed it up with an even better one
Usman Khawaja a man of good and grace
He knows when to take his time and when to up the pace
Many other batsmen love to land a blow,
But Usman’s all about the flow
Usman Khawaja the boy’s still in your face,
To many you bring joy and make the world a better place
Triumph and disaster you treat them equally
Uzzie, you’ll go down in history
Khawaja-a-a!
Khawaja-a-a!
Khawaja-a-a!

In the worst hour of the worst season
of the worst year of a whole people
a man set out from the workhouse with his wife.
He was walking — they were both walking — north.
She was sick with famine fever and could not keep up.
He lifted her and put her on his back.
He walked like that west and west and north.
Until at nightfall under freezing stars they arrived.
In the morning they were both found dead.
Of cold. Of hunger. Of the toxins of a whole history.
But her feet were held against his breastbone.
The last heat of his flesh was his last gift to her.
Let no love poem ever come to this threshold.
There is no place here for the inexact
praise of the easy graces and sensuality of the body.
There is only time for this merciless inventory:
Their death together in the winter of 1847.
Also what they suffered. How they lived.
And what there is between a man and woman.
And in which darkness it can best be proved.
Let no love poem ever come to this threshold.
There is no place here for the inexact
praise of the easy graces and sensuality of the body.
In the worst hour of the worst season
of the worst year of a whole people
a man set out from the workhouse with his wife.
He was walking - they were walking – north.
North, north, north, north.

They're counting up the votes across Australia
And counting down the seconds of my years
I've seen quite a few elections
I know how to read projections
I can recognise a change when it appears
The people make the ultimate decision
The system says they always get it right
So though it seems like half an hour
Since I stumbled into power
Now it's time for me to say goodnight.
But still I dream
Of a country rich and clever
With compassion and endeavour
Reaching out towards forever, and I'm still
Dreaming of the light on the hill.
You start off in your local council chamber
You fight and dream until you reach your prime
And if you should succeed
By the time you get to lead
You're pretty much exhausted from the climb
You only get a moment in the penthouse
Before you find you're standing on the sill
And if you're sunk in ham and gammon
When it turns from feast to famine
Then you're lucky if you've had your fill.
But still I dream
Heads are high and hearts are heady
Eyes are bright and clear and steady
Full of promise that we're ready to fulfill
I'm dreaming of the light on the hill.
They're counting up the votes across Australia
This time it seems the verdict is severe
Swan, McEwen, Fadden, Dickson,
Bass and Paterson and Kingston
But it's Oxley with the message, loud and clear:
Bring us back our comfy bloody country
Take us back to simple days of yore
Nothing alien or scary
La-de-da or airy-fairy
Just put it back the way it was before."
But still I dream
That the stars will be aligning
As our fates are intertwining
Until every heart is shining with goodwill
Shining like the light on the hill,
Shining like the light on the hill.

'Silent Night' is one of Paul Kelly's favourite carols, written a little over 200 years ago. The story goes that the hymn was composed on guitar, instead of the organ which was flooded from the nearby river, giving the song its unmistakeable "swag" or "sway" feeling.
Originally sung in German, Paul Kelly honours this with the help of Alice Keath, who leads one verse in its traditional language.

Paul Kelly’s first Christmas album is an extraordinary 22-song double collection that travels across the centuries, from a Latin hymn to well-known carols, from a traditional Irish folk ballad to new Kelly music written for Christmas poems.
There are songs with an unmistakable local flavour like Three Drovers and Swing Around the Sun, and a sparkling new version of one of the greatest Australian Christmas songs of them all, Kelly’s own How to Make Gravy.
The album is delivered by Kelly and his band with a big cast of Christmas helpers including vocalists Vika and Linda Bull, Marlon Williams, Kasey Chambers, Alice Keath, Emily Lubitz, Lior and Emma Donovan, with contributions from the Kelly clan.
The writer, radio and TV presenter Waleed Aly also makes an appearance, reading verses from The Qur’an that tell the story of Mary and Jesus.
Kelly says: “I’ve chosen songs I love, which led me often to wander off the well-worn path, then chosen singers I thought best suited to them.”
The albums finds new ways to explore Christmas favourites too, with a Hawaiian flavour for Silent Night and an astonishing performance by Marlon Williams singing Tapu Te Pō (O Holy Night) in the Māori languge.
Folk, classical, soul, carols and hymns, rock and roll. Get ready for an album that’s going to become a part of celebrating an Australian Christmas for many years to come.

Lyrics:
Tonight I went out from the kitchen
And looked up at the stars from the yard
I was hoping to get some perspective
But sometimes perspective is hard
I know my life is a blessing
And all blessings come with a curse
My enemies I know I can handle
But friends now, well, they can be worse
Oh, I’m so sick and tired of keeping it inside
I’m so sick and tired today
I remember the old ones’ hard travelling
They’re with me every step of the way
Thousands smile when I go through my paces
They fall at my dancing feet
They like to slap my back in high places
They want to shake my hand on the street
Oh, I love my beautiful children
They clamber and climb all over me
I close my eyes and I’m dreaming
Of a world where they can just be
I’m so sick and tired of keeping it all inside
I’m so sick and tired today
I remember the old ones’ hard travelling
They’re with me every step of the way
The old ones are walking beside me
Each and every step of the way

On the low arch
above our gate,
he looks out
through a fringe
of feathers,
hunting,
then places one
foot on black
cast iron and ruffles
his head. His other
foot is clenched
in the night air,
held out
in an atmosphere
of waiting—then
unclenched.
Those nights
flying with you
weighed no more
or less than
this.
The Producer acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which the 'Eurydice and the Tawny Frogmouth' video was made, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, and that First Nations people have a deep and continuous connection to the place now called Australia.
