Waterfalls 02:58
Look at the bastard The greenie bastard You’re a beautiful woman Such a beautiful women I’m a bloody bastard Lick your own tongue That’s what you are Nothing but a big weird kid Have you met my friend Jesus Try and rip the scab off that one It’s the animal for you I’m wonderful I’m standing tall I’m beautiful Like waterfalls Like waterfalls They’re gonna beat me brainless tomorrow Dispose of me at dolphin island With the Rubber and the HSV’s Smells like the boys had fun again I’m a complicated atomic arrangement Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant You tyrant And the fear defines And the fear defines The fear defines itself I’m wonderful I’m standing tall I’m beautiful Like waterfalls Waiting for a mission Pig after pig Cow after cow Village after village Army after army The better angels of our nature

High visibility! I think I’ve found the ability To turn my thoughts into a knife And cut through all the bullshit of the modern life, I said High visibility! There is every probability That what I am is what I feel And what I feel I am is the son of man Waiting! for the show Waiting! for the show Waiting! for the show Mansfield 6.0 Hi visibility Biochemical propensity To let these things get out of hand Onto the oval out of the stands I’m a boxcar, I’m a racer, I’m a flagon of port I’m a pinger, I’m a fuck boy, I’m a Canberra Rort You think you know who I am I’ll snort a bag for lunch and then I’ll hit the cans Waiting! for the show Waiting! for the show Waiting! for the show Mansfield 6.0 Waiting! for the show Waiting! for the show Waiting! for the show Mansfield 6.0 What I am is what I am Wisdom from the bottom of a Mother can So your great grandad he fought for this another countries flag and a mountain of piss And now I’m dancing on the Westgate having a beer Waiting for the show Next thing baby what do ya know Mansfield 6.0

Jack 03:22
I’ve got an itch that I cannot scratch Right down in the middle of this ageing back Three things that we cannot say Invasion, genocide, Australia Day. We’re the violence we’re the godsend we’re the Virus We’re the wokest, we’re the leftest we’re the silence Look at the ground, what do I see 60,000 years staring back at me What you think about that Jack? 31 years and I’m talking back What you think about that Jack 60,000 why don’t we give it back? At my school, they taught the Russian revolution, The stump jump plough and the Roman constitution No Bennelong, Namatjira, no William Barak Beds are burning always gotta give it back? No Truganini, Jandamurra, no Billy Barlow, No referendum, stolen children, no Eddie Mabo No language, no treaty, no respect for the land No problems, no solution, nowhere left to stand What you think about that Jack? 31 years and I’m talking back What you think about that Jack? 60,000 years we gotta give it back I took a walk down to the lighthouse today Looking for a plaque there that should say That 14 were massacred here on this day Women and children cut down where they lay How deep are your pockets? How deeps your coal mine? Nothing is as deep as the deepest of time. Menzies ghost on the dock of the bay, sitting in our arm chairs sipping chardonnay Barriers and bands and frontier walls, Made an effort to silence the voices of old What you think about that jack?

Shame 02:58
Wake up again in heat of the day Turn on the TV got nothing to say Nobody sees me I’m sick of this town What was lost will never be found 33 summers and a Sunday Can’t shake it off it’s eating away It’s filling me with Shame Shame, again Crossing my heart, hoping to die Throwing me on the discard pile Drive out to Brompton Nothing has changed Never cared much anyway 33 summers and a Sunday Drink my way through to Monday It’s filling me with Shame Shame, again The snake that calls me by my name Things can never be the same Tainted blood and tainted brain I’m too old to play the game The clock keeps ticking down the days The clock keeps ticking down the days The clock keeps ticking down the days The clock keeps ticking, it’s ticking It’s filling me with Shame.

Mallee 04:20
It’s a race to the bottom So stick your heads in the sand Hear the wind kiss the surface of the river Set fire to our sins Washed up on the fatal shore Dashed upon the rocks Soaked in gin and holy wine and Riddled the pox Watch the ticks take the cattle Watch the blood stain the sand There was a massacre, on the mudflat And the squatters moved in Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs Send the boys to die on foreign soil Then co-opt their legacy To sell warm beer at the football And piss on their memory Tear the pages from the books of history Settle in for the 6 o clock rot Then turn a blind eye for a century And Walk it off Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs Weighed down by ball and chain Weakened by disease I’ve been raised like a mongrel I ain’t got no pedigree The politicians peddle The newsman builds the pyre Got me nailed to the cross As the flames grow higher Trampling sacred ground Cursing at the sun Leering at the ancient land The ending has begun Crawling through red dirt Pulling down the trees Poisoning the water holes You call that young and free, don’t pay Growling like an animal Down there with the dogs Fucking like an animal Down there with the hogs

No Island 03:12
No man is an island So I come swimming back to you I confused my faith with blood sport So What the hell am I to do I’m alone again tonight On the 7:30 flight It’s a primitive form of something else Kingdoms will fall over you Heaven will fall over you I don’t I don’t I don’t really feel that good I don’t ever feel that good No man is an island And nothings ever true I can’t think my way around it So I just sit and think of you I’m alone again tonight You’re fading out of sight And I Just slip Away The bells now are tolling for you The storm clouds come rolling in for you And heaven is falling for you My kingdom is falling for you I don’t, I don’t I don’t really feel that good I don’t ever feel that good

Paradise and a total war talk to god but it don't mean nothing Bodies swinging from the old drive in 100k an hour down Pt Wakefield road Tick tock it’s a nuclear era Saw your face on the doomsday clock The syphilitic lawyer got his own jet air plane Take the kids to school he’s a millionaire Another sole survivor Another racist prick Rotting in the southern heat Rotting in the southern heat And the sea is burning We’re all getting sick Rotting in the southern heat Rotting in the southern heat I see the new age, I see the doom I sawthe desert fall from the moon See the malls Suburban streets I see the park where we used to meet What brings you here What makes you worry I’m under sold I’m never sorry I’m over bored Oh fuck Oh fuck Another sole survivor Another racist prick Rotting in the southern heat Rotting in the southern heat And the sea is burning We’re all getting sick Rotting in the southern heat Rotting in the southern heat

Black Monday 02:38
Knocking on the gold watch Sucking on the rat tit sleeping till the days gone Never seen a good sun Black Monday Profit where the buck stops Crying at the bus stop Gurning in the new year Thinking of the comedown Black Monday Co-Opt The feeling Co-opt the future Anaesthetic Paralytic Thank you for coming Who are you calling Dripping like a drain pipe Spatter on the priest head Rotting in the back streets Wrestle with the bed sheets Thinking I should sort it out Sinking in a sea of doubt Riding on the old wave Digging up a new grave Seeing colours in the night Fucking while the lovers fight Crawling to the mountain top 123 Filthy non believer, nobody believes her Hanging up the guilt plan Well fuck me Universal failings Tearing at the railings Dying on the mad mouse Did you see Hollow men and incense Running up the dog fence Bloated like a boozer Stuck here on another Black Monday

Collapse! 03:06
Fall through the weekend I’m a loaded gun Call in a favour But we don’t have fun Heaven’s floor collapses I wake up in the fields Waves of terror crashing The shores refuse to yield And I lose myself And I lose control And I lose myself to you Collapse! Raw power no innocence Still water under burning sky The capital engulfs everything No time to live Not time to die I’m the shadow of a dying god I’m the silence in the darkened room Stretch the sinew of a futile war On the edge while the ocean looms And I lose myself And I lose control And I lose myself to you Collapse! I’m the shadow of a dying god I’m the silence in the darkened room Stretch the sinew of a futile war On the edge while the ocean looms Collapse!

New Breeze 03:04
Who do you think you are? Another Roman on holiday Days not spent they’re just frittered away A way to get your kicks Sprawled in the tropics like a dying whale A weak link in the great chain of being Anaesthetised by the stinking mundane No ways to get your kicks Hard up for money Hard up for pain Hard up for a roof in the pouring rain I’m hard up for touch I’m hard up for love One, two Pissing in the new breeze Hee-Haw! Gallipoli to galilee On a quest for victory Untamed in the backwaters Ecstasy! Ecstasy! A dead cat and a bloody room Why don’t you tell me what I think of you Bring out the little dancing mice Bring out the fires of paradise Hard up for money Hard up for pain Hard up for a roof in the pouring rain I’m hard up for love I’m hard up for hate One, two Pissing in the new breeze Hee-Haw! Oh what a day, what a day to behave. Oh what a day, what a day to behave.

End of the day Another fucking night queue at the shops Nothing looks right Lonely blokes in paddocks a thousand dying sheep Nothing but darkness Till the end of the week Spinning the wheel Rattle the cage Sealing the deal Bottle my rage Desert television Have you got the vision Desert television Have you lost the vision Masochist fossicks through the animal pain Death, muck and myrrh in the halls of the strange The schizophrenic father tightens up his belt Picnic on the road before the acid is dealt Desert television Have you got the vision Desert television Have you lost the vision You’re a fucking animal Tell me something I don’t know You’re a fucking animal Tell me something I don’t know End of the day Another fucking night queue at the dogs Nothing looks right Spinning the wheel Rattle the cage Sealing the deal Bottle my rage Desert television Have you got the vision Desert television Have you lost the vision You’re a fucking animal Tell me something I don’t know You’re a fucking animal Tell me something I don’t know The bitter mind freezes the apocalypse saddle Pollenate the kids with the meat of the cattle Emancipated slaves were never counted and filed Machines in deeper water and material fires Desert television Have you got the vision Desert television Have you lost the vision

Contract killing quality meats flippant assault 45 standard drinks just enough to get a man like me loaded I’ve heard it all before Slogging through the days I was there in the 90s I was there when she bought it Betty was driving a Mitsubishi Magna Knitted baby socks hanging from the rear vision mirror courtesy of the Camry crows Hanrahan’s on Port Road never witnessed such hunger The octagonal Pizza Hut with cock and balls on the walls and no body ever washes it off Cock and endless balls I’ll see you tomorrow, wont I? I’ll see you tomorrow Time. Deep time. No time. Went to watch the Magpies play down at Alberton with my neighbour who I think might be a paedophile His name's Dennis Every year he picks up rubbish for ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ The cops in the estate pin down the kid with pink hair He was sniffing and snorting like he had a yeast infection in the Arctic Bring on that northern tropical sun, bake my skin like brisket in a Weber Q Knock knock It’s ok Lorraine you’ll be dead soon Think I saw some stout in the fridge the other day I’ll see you tomorrow Time. Deep time. No time. I’ve been thinking about a few things I’ve been thinking about The fall of Eastern Russia Nuclear warheads Great bit fucken subs Gupta, Whyalla, factory cum drive Chinese dating apps encoded to track your kids piss and shit In 1956 the sinister cloud of the atomic bomb appeared over South Australia Gonna be a big year for television Gonna be a big year for newscorp Gonna be a big year for Koshy Gonna be a good year for pulsar I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll see you tomorrow. Riding the chalk Lock all the doors Ordering chaos. Seeya tomorrow. Time. Deep time. No time

Godless 04:49
Shadows fall behind me cast from the street lights over head Acquainted with the night I let it take me where I’m led I see the Christmas lights In nearly every window Festive melancholy It just doesn’t feel the same Walking on Hanging on Rolling on I am Godless Apartments rise above me There was a park when we were young A church on every corner Public execution A sign up in the window Junk for sale that never sells The sky blue Commodore chocked up in the yard Walking on Hanging on Rolling on I am Godless I feel some old desire Dragging out like bulldog tide The dry stone finds the water Every hundred year Look me in the eyes and tell me this is what you always wanted Now I think I should surrender It's gone on far too long Walking on Hangin on Rolling on I am Godless
