Nick Gill (born 25 August 1982) is an Australian Rules football player currently playing for the North Adelaide Roosters who also played for the Adelaide Crows before being delisted at the end of 2009. He was originally drafted by Melbourne in the 2000 pre-season draft but was delisted at the end of 2001. He then spent 2002 playing with Port Melbourne in the VFL and after a good season was selected by North Melbourne in the 2002 rookie draft. He was again delisted after only one season and in 2004 returned to play for the North Adelaide Roosters.
His 2006 form with North Adelaide Roosters was not the best but impressive results at the South Australian state screening saw him drafted by the Crows with the 64th pick of the 2006 AFL National Draft. The Crows also drafted Gill as a mature-age recruit to act as insurance for the injured Trent Hentschel.
Despite not having the best of starts after being plagued by hamstring injuries at the start of the season, Gill eventually worked his way back into form to be picked for his first game in a forward pocket for the Round 17 clash against the Essendon Bombers in 2007.
Verse 1:
You've been feelin' the pain, you've been feelin' the pain of the layman's claim,
Follow all the rules, follow all the fools and you won't be blamed
Go on you don't need to follow them, go on you can breakaway
Go on you don't need anybody now, or so you say
Chorus:
I don't know why I'm playing in the wrong game now, game now, looking for the end of
The board. And I know 'bout the tears that you cry all alone when your waiting up in your
Car at night, and I know that you need her now, now, now, to hold her tight.
Verse 2:
You know now, you know now there's never been a better time
Hold back your fears, hold back your fears, she's waiting on the line
Go on tell her that you need her now, go on you can make it fun
Go on you don't need a cover just be yourself and not another one.
Chorus:
Solo
Dawn:
Humming//you find the dawn as you lie awake/you find the flaws all the ones
that you have today/you take a chance on something new/ and then you let
the good fall through/but no matter where you are/just let it fall
apart//there will be love/happiness/for you I know all will be well/ take a
chance on hope itself/ go on/take back all of the wrong/ go on /right back
into the dawn//you say you don’t need to feel to be lively and that’s all
from dismay/ you see the world down an empty path and that’s all you can
take/but no matter where you are/just let it fall apart//there will be
love/happiness/for you I know all will be well/take a chance on hope
itself/go on/ take back all of the wrong/go on /right back into the
dawn//and it falls/ it falls in front of me/and it falls/ it falls/ in
front of me/ in front of me// there will be love/happiness for you I know
all will be well/take a chance on hope itself/go on /take back all of the
wrong/go on/right back into the dawn//go right back/go right back/right
You've been down, looking for the edges of what seems to be
A never ending frown, I'm only, I'm only learning how, learning how to love
One more time around.
I'll be your friend, don't worry now, our love will win, I'm breaking the heart in
How am I gonna be that way, how am I gonna try for you and be the one that you will
Take, I know I know, you won't give me a chance, a glance and wait.
Chorus (2x)
Bridge:
I'll be my friend, I'll be my friend, I'll be your friend
One more year in Fairhope
One more homecoming game
One more time I'll try for you and our love
Won't reign, it won't reign
I know I won't be another one, I know they're all
The same, looking for another dime and someone else
To blame, I know I won't lie in bed at night thinking about how I
Could've had that life
The classroom doesn't tell it all
Their brain gets big while my ego grows small
I know, I know, I'm hanging on a limb ready to catch
My fall
Chorus

I made a picnic for you/I made a picnic for two/ come morning well watch
the sky turn from black to blue//humming//you are my summer in the winter
time/ you are the light that melts my frostbite/o you got the sun beat/baby
without you I’m obsolete/with you / I’m complete//let’s take a walk through
the plains/the clouds won’t keep me away/cause after all/ you are my
beautiful day//humming//you are my summer in the winter time/you are the
light that melts my frostbite/o you got the sun beat/baby without I’m
obsolete/with you/I’m complete//well get lost in each other/I’m in it for
you forever/I know/ I know there’s nothing better//you are my summer in the
wintertime/you are the light that melts my frostbite/o you got the sun
beat/baby without you I’m obsolete/with you/I’m complete//you are my summer
in the wintertime/you are the light that melts my frostbite/o you got the
sun beat/baby without you I’m obsolete/with you/ I’m complete/I’m complete
I shouldn’t let my memories be embedded with fear/I shouldn’t let my future
keep me from what’s already here/it’s all laid out/all laid//remember
all/the miracles/be thankful/be thankful/though it may/seem hard at
first/be thankful/be thankful/waves are only water/easily broken without a
bother/just when you think you’ve hit a new low/God helps you row//I should
forget what I don’t have/ and give what I do /I should forget my
worries/instead of letting them brew/it’s all laid out/ all laid//remember
all/the miracles/be thankful/be thankful/though it may /seem hard at first/
be thankful/be thankful/waves are only water/easily broken without a
bother/just when you think you’ve hit a new low/God helps you//row though
the wind/when the sun is setting in/on a cool day/row through the
rain/never mind the hurricanes/whatever may come/whatever may
come//Remember all/ the miracles/ be thankful/be thankful/though it
may/seem hard at first/ be thankful/be thankful/waves are only water/
easily broken without a bother/just when you think you’ve hit a new low/God
Humming//I can’t smuggle my hopes/ I can’t dampen my desire/I thought at
one point I was close/I had only one iron in the fire/maybe I need to fall
down/maybe I need to bleed/maybe the fortunes hiding/and all I need is a
lead//when you dive in/risky business/you may never come up/when you dive
in/ risky business/hold on to all of your hopes/hold on to all of your
hopes//have I been wasting my days/climbing up the ladder/is there a reason
why I’m here/sometimes I feel it doesn’t even matter/maybe I need to wake
up/maybe I need to see/that this isn’t for everyone/is it for me//when you
dive in/risky business/you may never come up/when you dive in/ risky
business/hold on to all of your hopes/hold on to all of your hopes//I
didn’t come here to please everybody/I can’t believe that I’ve come this
far/all I want is someone who will listen/as I pour out my heart//when you
dive in/ risky business/you may never come up/when you dive in/risky
business/hold on to all of your hopes/hold on to all of your hopes/we need
to hold on to all of our hopes/ we need to hold on to all of our
hopes/we’re gonna hold on to all of our hopes/ you know you know you know
you know where holding on/ we keep holding on/ we keep holding on/ we keep
O’s//Can you tell me honestly what I’m doing wrong/I get caught up in fear
and feel as if I’m not strong/enough to love/enough to be someone who loves
you/ enough to love/ enough to be someone who’s there//I’ll hold another
arm/create some charm/if I could speak my mind/would you give me the
time/even if you deny this dance/love never has a last chance//o’s//are we
speaking in different tongues /there’s no air in my lungs/please explain to
me how I’m still alive/breath some air so I can thrive// I’ll hold another
arm/ create some charm/if I could speak my mind/ would you give me the
time/even if you deny this dance/love never has a last chance//o’s//why do
we keep everything bottled up/lets end this streak of bad luck/we’re
treading the currents/trying to stay afloat/sometimes we clash/but we hold
on so it lasts//I’ll hold another arm create some charm/ if I could speak
my mind/ would you give me the time/I’ll hold another arm create some
charm/if I could speak my mind / would you give me the time/even if you
deny this dance/ love never has a last chance/never has a last chance/love
I fall without moving, try to find another way
To tell myself they're lying, it's all only a play
Now all I need, all I need in my life, is to know why
Know why
I know now why we need love and empathy,
You never showed the pain, and all the shame,
I know how it feels, I know how it feels,
I know how it feels,
To lose a friend
I know that it hurts, definitely a tradegy, but remembering your life
Brings be back to the comedy, do you remember that night on Halloween when we
Drove through the town with all the beauty queens?

And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why, and I don't know, I don't know why,
Well I don't know, well I don't know, I don't know why
