Backburn 03:02
You hang your head, and I’ll hang mine This communication thing has gone offline Damned if we do, damned if we don’t  You won’t move a muscle and my jaw is broke I wish you’d yell, I wish you’d scream  I wish we’d burn this thing down, Backburn ‘til it’s clean Well you say there’s nothing wrong, but it sure seems like it Your darting eyes don’t lie I wish you’d yell, I wish you’d scream I wish we’d burn this thing down, Backburn ‘til it’s clean

I've set my alarm for an early morning rising To get me out of bed that’s kind of surprising I guess that’s an indication it’s a pretty good sign For me to be getting up at the time Meet me at the Market My heart, you know you’re gonna start it I can’t wait for the morning Let’s catch up have a coffee at that place again Make mine a strong latté with strong feelings too The latté is for me and the feelings they are for you Meet me at the Market My heart, you know you’re gonna start it Meet me in the morning if the timing is right We can do it every morning if you like Coz I’ll be waiting there with my bed hair So meet me at the market Meet me at the Market My heart, you know you’re gonna start it

I’ve always found it funny that I hang my head in shame Every time I see upon the TV screen A young man draped in blue, red and white Confused about the meaning of national pride What does it mean to be Australian? I count 20 nationalities and that’s before I’ve even begun We’re a melting pot of all walks of life Just take a look at what you ate on Saturday night What does it mean to be Australian? Is it some kind of hobby? That I just don’t understand So won’t you please explain What’s going through your brain Coz I don’t know what you’re doing But I know that what you’re doing ain’t right More and more I contemplate They’re all aliens from outerspace Got folks in a trance With their song and dance Is it some kind of hobby? That I just don’t understand So won’t you please explain What’s going through your brain Coz I don’t know what you’re doing But I know that what you’re doing ain’t right

There’s an epidemic running through this town Lead by mucho men who wear a self appointed crown They don’t think In just a blink Here comes the King of the street The one man you don’t want to meet Hear the sound of his mean feet Here comes the King of the street One swing, one second, one coward We ain’t all got the strength but we all got the power They don’t think In just a blink Here comes the King of the street The one man you don’t want to meet Hear the sound of his mean feet Here comes the King of the street One hit wonder
5.
Sorry I didn’t say those things to you The things that I should’ve said to make you feel good The things that I should’ve said but I don’t know why The words they would not come, my mouth was dry The Things that I should’ve said They’re rattling round Inside my head Words, don’t come easy at the best of times So please look down leniently on these crimes I mismanaged myself and I was scared For what lay ahead I was under-prepared

Pass It On 04:56
I remember when we bought those chest of drawers You haggled the old man down to a price we could afford Then you tied it to the roof of the car With some knots I’d never seen They were twisted, ugly, obscene Now we pass it on It lived inside our room for fifty year It greeted us each morning like a dog All the things it’s seen and heard What would it say about us If it could only speak a word Now we pass it on Now I’m not crying for the loss of that wooden box As these strangers raise their hands to place a bid I’m not saying goodbye to that chest as the bidding folds I’m saying goodbye to the memories that it holds Now we pass it on

They’re putting up the fences And they’re locking all the doors They’re turning back the desperate Once they reach the shores In a flimsy looking vessel Over perilous seas They’re desperate and they’re hungry They’re down on their knees We’ve seen it all before It’s the same thing again Just a different war Well they’re fleeing war and torture They’re not on a holiday So why don’t you open up your arms Instead of pushing them away Across the great abyss from disaster to hope So why when they get here do you cut the rope? Those who decide their fate Sit high up on dry land High up in their tower They shout out commands We’ve seen it all before It’s the same thing again Just a different war

Tabloid News 02:42
It’s shouted from the corner It’s coming from the TV screen Read it in the paper Everywhere your name is seen So come on won’t you give it a rest Coz every corner I turn There’s another story hot off the press So close up the news stand that’s in my mind News telecast that’s running over time Sending me tabloid stories about you I’m pulling out the cables And I’m shutting my blinds from the view Pulling out the cables Coz I don’t want to hear the news Well I know I shouldn’t trust what they say But the news is like a car crash God you know it’s hard to look away So close up the news stand that’s in my mind News telecast that’s running over time Sending me tabloid stories about you

Rumour Robot 02:13
m not really more than an idea But I talk just like you My mechanical hands they type so fast I feel part of society And I feel (Rumour Robot) And I think (Rumour Robot) And I do (Rumour Robot) I’m like you My job is just to spread a rumour Is that all that my hands they can bring My job is to spread rumours Hidden by this tainted screen And I feel (Rumour Robot) And I think (Rumour Robot) And I do (Rumour Robot) I’m like you Is this really the world that you live in? Chaos, fighting, muscle flexing This is not a world I can live in Switch off, drain battery And I feel (Rumour Robot) And I think (Rumour Robot) And I do (Rumour Robot) I’m like you

Children in a playground Pissing up against a wall Children in a playground Fighting over a ball We all got to hide coz they’re both bigger than you or I Children in a playground They’re looking for attention Children in a playground They’ll meet again in detention But it don’t mean a thing coz they run everything Children in a playground Never taking the blame Children they grow tall But all their shit stays the same Ain’t it a shame the shade throws over us all Children in a playground
