oh poppy head
oh poppy head
with your gold bedspread
with your skinny legs
and your pride
and your dread
and the things
we’re doing best
scratching out tracks
and we’re making a mess
so it all boils down to nothing
a little stain on the floor
you cut the grease with a frown
and you head out the door
so poppy head
oh poppy head
gold bedspread
with your skinny legs
and your pride
and your dread
and i don't know how
you can miss
a little something
we’ve been telling you
doesn't even exist
so poppy head
oh poppy head
with your gold bedspread
with your skinny legs
your pride
and your dread

we know that you are rich
and famous
with your white gravel drive
and your red hydrangeas
with your view to die for
and your trophy wife
it’s bacardi baby
today, tonight
oh heavy, heifer
roll it baby
you got lace, white leather
you like this lady
we got pearls, diamonds
crème de menthe
oh we went darling
we went and we spent
your presence is pain
and your eyes are like ghosts
and i’m just taking you on
like addiction to dope
but i’ll leave you to it
with your not really there
cause you're getting me away
with your get back stare
and i’m revving my beasts
from the back of beyond
and you are with me
like the feeling
i’m miles from home
oh we know that you are rich
and famous
with your white gravel drive
and your red hydrangeas
with your view to die for
and your trophy wife
it’s bacardi baby
today, tonight
it’s bacardi baby
today tonight

Iron ore
03:35
|
|

|
breda and braxton
they did hold the fort
came braying over hills
like wild dogs
and the station hand
shot them
and they fell to the floor
their blood spilling over
piles of iron ore
and it’s just a strong spirit
it’s just an idea
it’s just diamond drills babe
and they’re not very near
and if you want your new four-door hilux
then you'd better keep digging
and you'd best just shut up
well i don’t like it either
but let me teach you a little something
you aware you only own the first
three metres of topsoil?
the rest is ours
me and gina
and palmer and the boys
me and gina
and palmer and the boys
fuck it
you can be the king of kalgoorlie
have a skimpy
for a wife
or doughnuts in the pilbara
in a V8 all night
all night
all night
all night
iron ore all my life
that’s alright
all night
all night
all night
iron ore all my life
that’s alright

Sharks
04:48
|
|
||
|
like a piece of meat
at the end of a hook
you move through the water
like a dirty look
you've got a curious way of
cancelling out
all the white noise
and i don't know what to do
so i'll just sit here and smoke
with the boys
i got a habit of leaving the fight early
oh weighted down, waiting
i'm the burley
hook line and he'll sink you
hook line and he'll sink you
hook line and he'll sink you
we've got 225 twin johnsons but
i don't know if that's gonna
outrun him
we're running out the lines for him
oh we're long lining
oh we're long lining
who's the shark in the water now?
spinning off sickening clouds
you've got a curious way of
cancelling out
all the white noise
and i don't know what to do
so i'll just sit here and smoke
with the boys
