Bruegel, can I ask you a question?
I wonder what you truly thought of religion
The hooded men of the inquisition
Who'd break you on their wheel
Ending as a crow on a crooked gallows
We're all just children playing in the snow
Bruegel, can I ask you a question?
When you climbed the Tower of Babel
What did you see?
Did you see Babylon,
And was it a paradise?
Where the people still believed
In love and life as it's lived through art
Did you see, did you see Babylon?

Just another worn out business man
Just another guy with a fading suntan
How did you set yourself free
From all of your good memories
Smokey nights on the floor at the Tivoli
Fester Fanatics were playing for free
They were playing for free
It's one for the money and two you just get up and go
Three's behind a locked door
and all the rest you just don't know
You got that look like you just learned the score
Behind the back door of the Tivoli
Fester Fanatics were playing for free
They were playing for free
How do you live with the ghosts of your golden age?
How do you live with the ghosts?

Hey I got some bills
And yeah they want me to pay
I think i'll leave em all for another day
Got my Clem's Chicken and some take away
And thats how I'm gonna start my day
And you need to know
That the plain clothes cops are at the Sando
and they're trying to score
You can always find some company
With the early starters down at the Shakey
Got my Clem's Chicken and some take away
And thats how I'm gonna start my day
And you need to know
That the plain clothes cops are at the Sando
And they're trying to score
And you raise your hopes
Like a sail on a concrete boat
Heading down King St
With a plastic bag full of five dollar smokes
Clem's Chicken and some take away
Clem's Chicken and some take away
Clem's Chicken and some take away

The day Doc Neeson died
03:21

You cant find it, cause it's gone
Like a Molotov cocktail, you can't hold it very long
How I cried on the day Doc Neeson died
I recalled hearing No Secrets on the radio
as a child in the spare room
was like a bolt of lightning
You cant find it, cause it's gone
Like a Molotov cocktail, you can't hold it very long
How I cried on the day Doc Neeson died
I've never been to Marseilles, but Im sure I'll get there one day
and I won't think twice, Oh yeah I'll roll those dice and
I cried when Doc Neeson died

John Belushi at the gas station
Martha Stewart's on the line
Carrie Fisher owes me 20 bucks
I'm in a Fragile state of mind
What's your favourite kind of tree?
Do ya like docos on TV
I got 20 bucks
It says Im flat out of luck
I'm in a Fragile state of mind
Jason Bateman at the video store
Mel Brookes is on the bus
Patti Smith and I, we're doing lines
I'm in a Fragile state of mind

How low did you go?

Happier days on Station St
How long can you spend half pissed in a baby pool,
before you just shrivel up?
Where's this going? She would always say
There's a place one day I'd like to stay
Come on man, we really wanna know
How low did you go?
Desperate love below decks
It's hard to set a heading when your stars are all a mess
Ship on the horizon, set your sails on fire
Hail Hail! Help is on the way
Come on, stand up
Let everybody know,
How low did you go and who did you drag down low
Help is on the way

Hey!

Every time I try and get loose
There's always some new excuse
Every time, every god damn time
Hey... hey hey hey
Some of my friends
Don't seem to know when it's time to go home
Some of my friends
Don't seem to know when it's time to move on
Hey... hey hey hey
We're just looking for somewhere to stray
Somewhere between lost and found
We're just trying to break this... right down

Wont end well
02:07

So you think you got an interesting story to tell
This won't end well
This never ends well
You spent your youth cutting the grass
And draining pools for a laugh
You can't be clever and still play the fool
No you can't, so you better stop playing the fool
Because it won't end well
It starts with a cough and ends in a hospital bed
With the family gathered round to sort what's left
This won't end well
This never ends well
You spent your youth cutting the grass
And draining pools for a laugh
You can't be clever and still play the fool
No you can't, so you better stop playing the fool
Because it won't end well

Ghosts in the gums
02:29
|

Where did you go
How did you get there
Who did you see and in what light
When you sleep, do you dream
Of the ghosts in the gums
drinking convict rum
What did you do
How did you live through
Who did you meet and did they love you
When you sleep, are they there beside you
The ghosts in the gums
drinking convict rum
This ain't a love song
Nor a little ray of sunshine
It's the end of a heart
That's come un-done
Drinking convict rum
There's ghosts in the gums
drinking convict rum

Marrickville express

I still love you man
But things are different now
I wanna take that trip we always talked about
it's just a
Goodbye
It's not forever
No need for sad eyes
it's just a
Goodbye
Then a short walk
Down the hill, to Marrickville
and I'll feel better
it's just a
Goodbye
It's just a goodbye
And you wanna feel alive
well get off that 405
Come on and take a ride
On the Marrickville express
You want to feel alive
