Music Mixer Gethin Creagh

The music for the film had a decent amount of airplay without achieving notable success. ' performance of How Can I Live Without Her? managed to get to #71 on the Billboard top 100 singles chart.

There were a number of credits for the soundtrack of the show, which is a curious mix of , and modern interpolations, but the chief credit went to Terry Britten.

Though born in Manchester in 1947, Britten played a considerable role in the Australian boom by composing for and playing lead guitar in the band, , before heading back to the UK when the band broke up. Thereafter however, Britten stayed in touch with Australia, and co-wrote with , the song for Beyond Thunderdome, We Don't Need Another Hero. (The pair won a Grammy for the song).

Britten has a detailed wiki here, with a good set of references, but anyone interested in Britten and The Twilights should seek out the always informative and useful Milesago, which has many details here, along with a discography, and this sort of atmospheric insight into the period, in this case the year 1967:

The changes in looks, attitude and musical accomplishment evident in the band upon its return to Australia were exemplified by the increasing dominance of Terry Britten. Of all the Twilights, the Manchester-born Terry seemed the one to have most absorbed the kaleidoscopic influences on offer in the melting pot of Swinging London. Not only did he sport the best clothes and haircut (!) of the bunch, but more importantly, Terry exhibited the greatest creative growth in the band, and from this time onwards assumed the role of chief and virtual helmsmanship. Embracing, like his hero George Harrison, elements of Eastern philosophy and religion, Terry introduced exotic instruments and musical forms into The Twilights' music, and heralded this newfound discovery by heavily featuring the sitar as a lead instrument on the b-side to "Young Girl", a fine social observation called "Time And Motion Study Man". It the first of many instances in which sitar and other Indian instruments were used prominently on Twilights records.

The site has a shorter note on Britten here, which remembers that after the break-up of The Twilights, Britten released a solo single, 2000 Weeks, inspired by Tim Burstall's feature film commercial and critical flop. (The promo single could be found on YouTube here at time of writing).

(Below: Terry Britten, older, younger, and below that as he appeared in the 2000 Weeks single, and below that in an early photo of The Twilights, with Britten holding a guitar) In the re-union photo below, for an appearance in Adelaide at the Festival centre in March 2011, Britten is second from the left. is seated, Peter Brideoake is on the left, and after Britten comes Patty MacCartney and John Bywaters, standing.

Peter Sullivan is probably the second most mentioned name in terms of incidental music and underscore. He had recently done the music for Tim Burstall's dire Duet for Four, more details about that feature at Ozmovies, here.

Sullivan has had a long career in the music game as producer, arranger and composer. Sullivan was for a period the music director at the Nine network, and had his own Peter Sullivan Big Band.

There is no record that Sullivan's work for Duet for Four ever made it to album or disc, and significantly he doesn't rate the score highly in his CVs.

There were other releases in various territories:

Below are lyrics for some of the songs as they appear in the film (not the LPs)

Victory (Terry Britten, sung by the pirates) Lyrics for the song that runs over the head credits, sung by the pirates:

Raise the flag of piracy Sing the song of victory For glorious in battle are we We've never known defeat We never will retreat We live to hear the cannon roar And terror is our semaphore Notoriously loathsome are we We rob the rich, the poor Then steal a little more

Victory, we fight to win Victory is ours again We are the scourge of the land and sea Beastly pirates are we

Masters of the briny sea We'll go down in history Courageous men who live by the sword We deal in treachery The kings of lechery Raise the anchor, trim the sail We raid tonight if winds prevail Invincible, we fight to the end United to a man We need no battle plan

Victory, we fight to win Victory is ours again We are the scourge of the land and sea Beastly pirates are we

It's so pitiful a sight To see them walk the plank They squirm and cry for mercy Regardless of their rank Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Victory, we fight to win Victory is ours again We are the scourge of the land and sea Beastly pirates are we Victory, we fight to win Victory is ours again We are the scourge of the land and sea Beastly pirates are we … Victory … yeahuh

Happy Ending (Terry Britten and others) Lyrics for the song that runs over the end titles, sung by mixed choir (this song is also song prior to end titles rolling):

Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign Give me a happy ending every time Don't be unhappy Everything will work out fine No more fighting, scratching, biting No more police and thieves All is sweetness, light and neatness Yes sir … no thanks … please

When you've had your fill of life's ugly pills The sadness and the pain Take the box of pills and attendant ills Flush them down the drain

Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign Give me a happy ending every time Don't be unhappy Everything will work out fine Everything will work out fine Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign Give me a happy ending every time Don't be unhappy Everything will work out fine Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up … (song fades out over this line)

Other lyrics:

I Am a Pirate King (Gilbert and Sullivan and others) (Spoken over music by Ted Hamilton, the pirate King)

Oh, better far to live and die Under the brave black flag I fly Than play a hypocritical part With a pirate head and a pirate heart (Pirates cheering) Away to the world across the seas Where pirates all have law degrees But I'll be true to the song I sing And live and die a pirate king For …..

I am a pirate king (Pirates: You are, hurrah, for a pirate king) And it is, it is a glorious thing To be the pirate king I am a pirate king (Pirates: You are, hurrah for a pirate king) And it is, it is a glorious thing To be the pirate king (Pirates: It is, hurrah for a pirate king Hurrah for the pirate king)

When I venture forth to seek my prey I crush my foes in a royal way The ladies yield and the ships go down Or is it the other way around? (Pirate laughter) But many a king in a gilded tower If he wants to cling to pomp and power Must manage somehow to get through More dirty work than ever I do (Pirates: ha ha ha ha ha)

Oh, I am the pirate king (Pirates: You are, hurrah for a pirate king) And it is, it is a glorious thing To be the pirate king I am the pirate king (Pirates: You are, hurrah for a pirate king) And it is, it is a glorious thing To be the pirate king (Pirates: It is, hurrah for a pirate king) I am the pirate king …. (Pirates: … he is a pirate king He is, he is a glorious thing A pirate king )

The Sisters' Song (Gilbert and Sullivan and others) Sung by the sisters and girls chorus:

(Over the sisters approaching the beach) Climbing over a rocky mountain Skipping rivulet and fountain Passing where the willows quiver Passing where the willows quiver By the ever-rolling river … (fading off in the distance)

(Over the sisters dancing on the beach) Let us gaily tread the measure Make the most of fleeting leisure Worship nature while we can Far away from any man Far away from any man Make the most of fleeting leisure Far away from any man Climbing over a rocky mountain Skipping rivulet and fountain (Mabel to camera: Do you believe that song?) Passing where the willows quiver Passing where the willows quiver By the ever-rolling river Swollen with the summer rain The summer rain Let us gaily tread the measure Make the most of fleeting leisure Worship, worship nature while we can

Let us gaily tread the measure Make the most of fleeting leisure Far away from any man From any man Let us gaily tread the measure Make the most of fleeting leisure Far away from any man From any man ...

First Love (Kit Hain) Sung by Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol:

Fred: When will I find I love? Where will she be, And if she's out there will she wait for me?

Mabel: How will he know me? Will I know him? Is there no end to all my questioning?

Fred: Can I believe what I am seeing, what I am feeling Something so rare, watching her there She makes my heart stop.

Mabel: Can I believe what I am feeling, my head is reeling, He just looked my way, from the start I can say I will give him everything. Strange emotions wash over me Like the motion of the deepest sea,

Both: And I feel ...

Both (with chorus): … First love (I feel nobody but you), You're all I'm dreamed of (I will be constant and true),

Love moves me inside like the moon moves the tide. My first love.

Mabel and Fred: Some kind of miracle brought you here Just when I'd given up hoping From the moment when you first appeared I could feel my whole life opening

Mabel: In first love

Chorus: I need nobody but you

Mabel and Fred: You're all I've dreamed of

Chorus: I will be constant and true

Mabel and Fred: Love moves me inside Like the moon moves the tide

Together: My first love

Chorus: I need nobody but you

(Together and with chorus) My first love (I will be constant and true) My first love My first love ... And I promise to be true to you My first love ...

The Modern Major General's Song (Gilbert and Sullivan and others) Sung by Bill Kerr:

I am the very model of a modern major general I have information vegetable, animal and mineral I know the kings of England And I quote the fights historical From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical I'm very well acquainted too, with matters mathematical I understand equations, both the simple and quadradical About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot of news With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse

(Mabel: Papa) Zounds, this is my big number. Now, play along with this Our lives may depend upon it

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus I know the scientific names of beings animalculous In short, in matters vegetable, animal and mineral I am the very model of a modern major general

(Chorus: in short, in matters vegetable, animal and mineral He is the very model of a modern major general)

Verse 2 … I comprehend contemporary culture North American I straighten more piratical erections than Bo Derek can I'm into E.S.T. and all the rest I've undergone analysis I've jumped beyond the gravitude to permanent paralysis My muse is into music But my credit I'll not trouble you From R&R to S&M cross over C&W To groovin with the Doobies In my Malibu white-soulin' tones Man, I'm older than But I'm younger than

(Chorus: He's older than the Beatles But he's younger than the Rolling Stones He's older than the Beatles But he's younger than the Rolling Stones, repeat)

My military knowledge For I'm plucky and adventury Embraces M.A.S.H. and Star Wars And the 22nd century Yes sir in matters vegetable animal and mineral I am the very model of a modern major general (Chorus: Yes sir in matters vegetable animal and mineral he is the very model of a modern major general)

Pumpin' and Blowin' (Terry Britten and others) Sung by Kristy McNichol, with chorus:

(Chorus: Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin') Hey it's an old wives' story, I said, it's old wives' tale. I said love is glory, I tell you love's so frail. Mmm, loving needs a bandage, and intensive care, And it's a disadvantage, when you're playin' fair.

If you're treading water, and romance is on the slide, Don't you know you have to swallow something more than water; It's your pride...

Ah-huh, I've huffed and puffed Just to keep love goin'. I'm done, I've had enough Of pumpin' and of blowin'.

(Chorus: Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')

You know a woman's labor (Chorus: keep pumpin') is never, ever done. (Keep on blowin') So could you do me a favor, (Chorus: keep pumpin') and father tell your son (A'blowin') If he's treadin' water, and romance is on the slide, Don't you know you have to swallow something more than water, It's your pride.

Aha, I huffed and puffed Just to keep love goin' I'm done, I've had enough Of pumpin' and of blowin' (repeat)

(Chorus: Pumpin, blowin', keep pumpin, blowin', keep pumpin, blowin' etc )

How Can I Live Without Her (Terry Britten and Sue Shifrin) Sung by Christopher Atkins

I know she'll never understand. I gave my word before we met, So I just can't go breaking it. She'll say she thinks I'm out of touch I've let my duty, honorbound, c Come between the love we've found.

With chorus: How can I live without her, if she's all I'm livin' for? (Chorus: I'm livin' for) How can I live without her, live like I did before? Now I can see through her eyes how good love could be How can I live without her when she's gone?

No matter what the future brings, I'll hold the memories in my heart No matter how long we're apart. She'll always be the only one, Her name forever on my lips She's slipping through my fingertips.

With chorus: How can I live without her if she's all I'm livin' for? (Chorus: I'm livin' for) How can I live without her, live like I did before? Now I can see through her eyes how good love can be How can I live without her? How can I live without her? How can I live without her? When she's gone? (Chorus: How can I live without her?) When she's gone (Chorus: She's all I'm livin' for) She's all I'm living for (Chorus: How can I live without her?) How can I live like I did before? How could I live without her?

Hold On (Terry Ellis and others) Sung by Kristy McNichol, with chorus under certain lines:

Love show me the way When I am lost and hope begins to fade Love, timeless and true Whenever I need strength I look to you

Tonight, my faith is strong enough To see me through Tonight he's gotta trust and love the way I do We gotta hold on tight, tonight

Hold on, nothing's gonna stop us If we just believe in love Hold on, there's nothing under heaven We can't overcome Hold on

Now I see a way How the tide will turn and the part I'll play It's all part of a plan You don't have to know or understand

Tonight, I'll see it all unfold before my eyes Tonight, with fortune on my side And love to guide me The future is lookin' bright, tonight

Hold on, nothing's gonna stop us If we just believe in love Hold on, there's nothing under heaven We can't overcome, hold on

And though the road ahead maybe unknown We'll make it if we hold on And though the road ahead May be unknown We'll make it if we hold on ...

(The Pirate Movie - Tarantara) (Sung by police chorus and Gary MacDonald)

(Police chorus in the countryside) When the bowman bares his steel Tarantara, tarantara We uncomfortable feel Tarantara And we find the wisest thing Tarantara, tarantara Is to slap our chests and sing Tarantara, For when threatened by the brutes Tarantara, tarantara And your heart is in your boots Tarantara, There is nothing brings it round Next the trumpet's martial sound Like the trumpet's martial sound Tarantara, tarantara Tarantara, tarantara Tarantara, tarantara Tarantara, tarantara (etc)

(The song resumes later in the film, after an Inspector Clouseau routine and Kristy McNichol herding the police towards the mansion again and the pirate chorus sounding forth with a burst of yo ho ho's)

Though to us it's evident Tarantara, tarantara These intentions are well-meant Tarantara, Such expressions don't appear Tarantara, tarantara Calculated men to cheer Tarantara, Who are going to meet their fate Tarantara, tarantara In a highly-nervous state Tarantara, Still, to us it's evident These intentions are well-meant These intentions are well-meant Tarantara, tarantara Tarantara, tarantara (etc, many repeats)

We are the Pirates (Kit Hain) (Sung by the pirates)

(As the pirates begin their attack on the mansion) We are the pirates, we are the pirates Out on the ocean waves We instil fear and loathing (loathing) We are very, very loathed

Marauders with shiny swords and very fancy clothing (clothing) We are very well clothed Total supremacy is what we gun for We raise our flag and watch the cowards run

For we are the pirates Rulers of the high seas We can be irate, sometimes very nasty We wheel, we deal We steal their thunder (Thunder) We shoot, we loot We put them under (Under) We are the pirates Loot, shoot, plunder We can be irate, shoot loot asunder We're pirates, yo ho ho, We're the pirates yo ho ho …

(After the pirates storm the mansion's gates, and darkness descends, the song resumes)

Nothing we like better than a dreadful brawl Locked in battle, see our victims fall Oh we are the pirates Batten down the hatches We can be irate Aye, eye patches The pirates yo ho ho Lads, the pirates yo ho ho We are the pirates!

(After an Avon calling joke, and the pirates invading the mansion, and Christopher Atkins seeing a strip tease in silhouette the song resumes, sung by the pirates and Ted Hamilton) With cat like tread Upon our prey we steal In silence dread Our forces we reveal No sound at all We never speak a word A fly's footfall would be distinctly heard (Police: Tarantara, tarantara Tarantara, tarantara) So stealthily the pirate creeps While all the household soundly sleeps (Police slapstick, grunts) Come, friends, who plough the sea Steady navigation, shirk and devastation Let's vary piracy With a little lechery Come, friends, who plough the sea Steady navigation, shirk and devastation Let's vary privacy With a little lechery … (fades off to pirates cheering and breaking glass, then the chorus recurs briefly later under the action as the pirates march down a corridor to the library)

Brief reprise of First Love (Kit Hain) Sung by Fred

(In the middle of the pirates police and pizza fight) Fred: Can I believe what I am seeing? What I am feeling? Something so rare Watching her there She makes my heart stop

(Mabel knees him in the testicles. Mabel to camera: War is hell)

Happy Ending (Terry Britten and others) Sung by cast (this song recurs over the end credits):

(Sung in front of the mansion by all) No more sad times, mad or bad times No more minor keys Life's for living Sharing, giving Life's for you and me When the going's rough And you've had enough Leave your troubles and your woes Turn the other cheek and forget your grief Make a friend out of your foe

(Oh) … give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign Give me a happy ending every time Don't be unhappy Everything will work out fine

No more fighting, scratching and biting No more police and thieves All is sweetness, light and neatness

(The pirate king kneels to propose. Ruth: Yes, sir)

No thanks, please When you've had your fill of life's ugly pills The sadness and the pain Take the box of pills and attendant ills Flush them down the drain

Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign Give me a happy ending every time Don't be unhappy Everything will work out fine Everything will work out fine Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign … (song fades out)

(The song then turns rock n' roll, with guitar and solo vocalist, over Fred and Mabel's wedding in modern times at the Polly Woodside ship)

Give me a happy ending every time We'll kiss and make up That's a very peaceful sign Give me a happy ending every time Don't be unhappy 'Cause everything will work out Will all work out fine (Chorus joins in: Give me a happy ending) Every time (Give me a happy ending) Every time (Give me a happy ending)

(After two "slate" jokes, song resumes over end credits, lyrics above).
