Time to update
Time to install some new software
On that floppy disk of yours
Everybody’s getting bored
With this two-man radio formula
Do a favour for me, could ya, turn that shit off
I’ve got one good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
One good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
Surely we’ve all had it
These parrots have got to go
It’s a two-man job to be that gross
I know it’s not just me
Marty, Flipsy, and Woopsy on the morning show
Get off my radio
I’ve got one good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
One good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
I’ve got one good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
One good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
(One good eye, one that’s bad)
(Which one are you looking at)
(One good eye, one that’s bad)
(Which one are you looking at)
It’s an extra special treat for you tonight, folks
We’ve got Dicky and Shibang
Driving you insane as you drive home
Call in, we’ll put you on the show
Play some silly noises
Get off my radio
I’ve got one good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
One good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
I’ve got one good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
One good eye, one that’s bad
Which one are you looking at
(One good eye, one that’s bad)

Scorching Heat
03:14
|

|
It’s just for fun
Staring at the sun
Doing things the same way I have always done
Warning words fall on deaf ears
I will have to learn some things the hard way
But it’s a lovely day to be sitting in the scorching heat
Come on out here, pour your shade on me
You are not like the people I normally meet
The pleasure is all mine
The pressure is underneath
Bubbling up now
It’s just no fun
Out of prison and on the run
In a stand-off with no shots left in my gun
Mama’s words tell her they all came true
I guess I will have to learn some things the hard way
But It’s a lovely day to be sitting in the scorching heat
The people walking by fall at your feet
You are not like the people I normally meet
You wanna try your luck, try it on me
Well by my guest
Be my guest
It’s a lovely day to be sitting in the scorching heat
Come on out here, pour your shade on me
You are not like the people I normally meet
The pleasure is all mine
The pressure is underneath
Bubbling up now
Bubbling up now

Moving

She helped me move to a new place
When we were moving on
She saw the look on my face
When I saw her stuff was gone
And she stayed just a little bit longer
She let me take anything that I wanted
All the while her heart was breaking just like mine was
Just like mine was
She saw me choked up, dragging our old mattress
Up the stairs and into nothingness
She lifted the other end
I thought that she was doing fine
But her heart was breaking just like mine was
Just like mine
She stayed just a little bit longer
She let me take anything that I wanted
And all the while
Her heart was breaking just like mine was
Just like mine was
Just like mine
All the while
Just like mine was
All the while
All the while
She helped me move to a new place
When we were moving on
She saw the look on my face
When I saw her stuff was gone
And she stayed just a little bit longer
She let me take anything that I wanted
And all the while
Her heart was breaking just like mine was
Just like mine was
Just like mine
And she stayed just a little bit longer
She let me take anything that I wanted
And all the while
Her heart was breaking just like mine was
Just like mine was
Just like mine

Rat Song (For a Film)
04:16
|
|||
|
It was an eyesore, the old brick house
Was a brothel before it was ours
And mum thought that was the funniest thing she’d ever heard
When she found out, she told all her friends about it
Well I don’t think they were as impressed
Eighteen and I left that town
With my tail between my legs
I wasn’t sticking around
To see what happens next, nah
I lost some of my best friends
To these traps
This town is a snake
It’s no place for a rat
To the cities with the train stations where I can hide
Amongst people moving frantically
I can cut my hair, shave my face
Give my shoes a shine
But they keep coming back to me
I must be easy to find
But some things aren’t so easily left behind
Like the memories of you
That still haunt me after all of this time
I’ve still got arrows in my back
This town is a snake
It’s no place for a rat
It’s no place for a rat
Stay or scurry away
You are free to choose
They say people don’t just disappear
But round here they do
Stay or scurry away
Not everyone gets to choose
They say people don’t just disappear
But round here they do
And they don’t come back
This town, it is a snake
It’s no place, no place for a rat
This town, it is a snake
It’s no place, no place for a rat

Point me down the hill
See my rickety skill
Nah, this boy won’t heel
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Drivers ready in the wagons
Drag queen, drop the chequered flag and
I will not stop
I’ll ride this sucker till the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Keep it on the track now, say it back now
Keep it on the track now, say it back now
Keep it on the track now, say it back now
Tell me that you love me
Soaring, never landing
Unsafe where you are standing
I’ll never chill
I’ll ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Until the wheels fall off
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Point me down the hill
See my rickety skill
Nah, this boy won’t heel
I’ll ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Drivers ready in the wagons
Drag queen, drop the chequered flag and
I will not stop
I’ll ride this sucker till the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall off
Ride until the wheels fall
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off

Flames flicking sparks fly
Metal on metal on metal
Licking my face like a puppy dog
Is that all you’ve got
The fire is where I came from
The fire is where I go to cool off
Burning up my skin
But I don’t feel a thing
I am the sun’s golden boy
I am the sun’s golden boy
Flames flicking sparks fly
Metal on metal on metal on metal on
Licking my face like a puppy dog
Is that all you’ve got
Is that all you’ve got
Is that all you’ve
The fire is where I came from
The fire is where I go to cool off
Burning up my skin
But I don’t feel a thing
I am the sun’s golden boy
I am the sun’s golden boy
So go on and throw me in
Watch how I walk on through to the other side
Go on and throw me in
I’ll be fine I’ll be fine
It’s metal on metal on metal on metal on metal on metal on metal on metal on metal
The flames lick my face like a puppy dog
Is that all you’ve got
is that all you’ve got
Is that all you’ve
The fire is where I came from
The fire is where I go to cool off
Burning up my skin but I don’t feel a thing
I am the sun’s golden boy
I am the sun’s golden boy
(Burning up my skin)
(But I don’t feel a thing)
I am the sun’s golden boy
(Burning up my skin)
Golden boy (But I don’t feel a thing)
I am the sun’s golden boy

Golden boy (But I don’t feel a thing)
I am the sun’s golden boy

Daddy

Beg your pardon
Daddy owns half of the city
But he won’t gimme a house or a job
Wallowing in self-pity
To the streets acting like a dog
Get on that jet ski
Go on, ride it out to sea
Draped in the colours of terra nullius
Lies and thievery
What, daddy ain’t got enough hectares?
Heck, there’s barely enough for all of my deck chairs
Hi, I’m Ray, and I’m here to assist
Well, daddy owns half of the city
But he won’t gimme a dime
He says that it’s because they’re trying to take
What is mine
Well, daddy owns half of the city
But he won’t gimme a cent
Daddy says it all got spent up
Something ’bout the immigrants
Well, daddy ain’t got enough hectares
Heck, there’s barely enough for all of my deck chairs
Hi, I’m Ray, and I’m here to assist
Well, daddy didn’t make a living
By giving anything away now, did he? Nah
Hi, I’m Ray, and I get the gist
I get the gist
Well, daddy owns half of the city
But he won’t gimme a house or a job
Wallowing in self-pity
To the streets, acting like a dog
Well, daddy didn’t make a living
By giving anything away now, did he? Nah
Daddy got rich in the mining boom
Blowing holes in rocks and clay
What, daddy ain’t got enough hectares?
Heck, there’s barely enough for all of my deck chairs
Hi, I’m Ray, and I’m here to assist
Well, daddy didn’t make a living
By giving anything away now, did he? Nah
Hi, I’m Ray, and I get the gist
I get the gist, alright
I get the gist
I get the gist
I get what you’re tryna say to me, Ray
Uh huh
Yeah, okay
Okay, Ray
I get the gist

Unravel
03:46
|

Wound up tighter than the fence
Following us home
Ran beside us all the way
Up the east coast
We’ve been driving for hours
We’ve been driving for hours and hours
And my brain is a train station
Full of smoke and whistling and people rushing by
Finally the road runs out but my wheels
Keep on turning, burning rubber
When the tar turns into gravel
And I’m starting to unravel
The driveway is steep
Soon I will be, stepping out
And on my own, on my own again
Pause for a second, before I open the door
The man in the mirror gets home the same time as me
Where’s he been, hired to be my reflection
And he’s been slacking off or so it seems
Or so it seems or so it seems
When the tar turns into gravel
And I’m starting to unravel
The driveway is steep
Soon I will be, stepping out
And on my own, on my own again
I will be stepping out, on my own again
Dwarfed beneath the glory of an old gum tree
I remember to bend and sway
The wind out here, will blow anything down
No matter how tall, no matter how straight
When the tar turns into gravel
And I’m starting to unravel
The driveway is steep
Soon I will be, stepping out
And on my own, on my own again
I will be stepping out, on my own again
I will be stepping out, on my own again
I will be stepping out, on my own again

Favourite

Shimmy on over to me, my love
Like the weekend, with a red dress on
And white knee-high boots
Sunglasses with the see-through lens
Underneath, eyes so deep I can see my future
I don’t know how to say it, baby
You’re my favourite
You’re my favourite thing
Remember our first date, I was shakin’, baby
I was shakin’
You put your hand on my shoulder
I was sure I would never ever see you again
I was wrong, I won you over with that karaoke song
I don’t know how to say it, baby
You’re my favourite
You’re my favourite thing
I really think we’re gonna make it, baby
You’re my favourite
You’re my favourite thing
You’re my favourite thing
You’re my favourite thing
You’re my favourite thing
When you just get home
And you park up that silver Volvo
Fumbling for the lights
And we don’t know when the next time is gonna be
My darling, I will be thinking of you
I don’t know how to say it, baby
You’re my favourite
You’re my favourite thing
I really think we’re gonna make it, baby
You’re my favourite
You’re my favourite thing
You’re my favourite thing
You’re my favourite thing
You’re my favourite thing

All That Falls
03:46
|
|||
|
All that falls from your fingertips is ash
It’s not hot anymore
We all fall short, sometimes we all fall short
I washed up on your shore wearing cutoff shorts
And it’s a great place to stand with a cigarette in your hand
All that falls
Covered in bites and scratches
Struck out just like wet matches
You are what they’ve been waiting for
All of these leaky gasses
All that falls like raindrops to the sand
Returns once again as soil through the land
It’s a great place to stand with a cigarette in your hand
It’s a great place to stand
All that falls
All that falls through your hands
All that falls, sweat to sand
All that falls, all that falls
Must eventually land
It’s a great place to stand
With a cigarette in your hand
It’s a great place to stand
With a cigarette in your hand
It’s a great place to stand
With a cigarette in your hand
It’s a great place to stand with a cigarette in your hand
All that falls
All that falls
All that falls
All that falls
