about

This was a song written upon Mt. Buller in NSW, Australia, where Willis worked a snow season. The owner of the hotel was often far from pleasant but there was such a lovely mix of staff that it just about balanced it out!

lyrics

I'm spending time with the cruel and the kind
the cruel and the kind are on my mind

We're wayfaring drifters, waylaid in the snow
trying to make a dollar and have fun while we go
so stop pouring scorn through your smoke stained smile
your behaviour is outrageous and your presence is vile

and oh, when the cabin fever sets in
like the creeping cold
you drink yourself to sleep
and you, you long for home

You're only going to get on chance to say what you want
so stand on your two feet and give them what you've got
'cause I don't want two faces, no I only want one
so you can see who I am and you can see who I'm not

But oh, oh what a rush
out carving the snow
and for a few hours
you can let it all go

I'm spending time with the cruel and the kind
the cruel and the kind are on my mind
