life is cruel
a cruel and wicked joke
lost in space
it’s a monochrome scene
looks like I’m here to stay
and that lucky old earth is rollin away
that lucky old earth just keeps rollin away
look into that space
study that space and see what is there
there will be no sleep
you will remain awake

She then tells a story of a man who proved to be made of smoke,someone she had projected an image onto. She protests that she was all there, "ALL OF ME"!Of course, she doesn’t hang around to see if things pick up in the second show (in her world, there is no second show),
" I drive away
the road slips by
the dog can sing your lullaby
You’ll find what you are lookin for
it’s made of coir
on aisle four
of the hardware store"

sirens call to arms
02:28
|

They move around the crowd
gauging the audience
bouncing the deadbeats as I play
taking over my controls
when the G force defeats me
landing her safely as the cymbal decays
Their songs hang in the air
they serve to remind me
the great are not always heard
and sometimes not even seen
guarding my right to play
and wishing they could do it too
I’ll play for them righteously
That’s the least I could do
They move around the crowd
gauging the audience
bouncing the deadbeats as I play
the world was out of time
when these dames were in their prime
the deadbeats won that quarter
but the sirens yet to sound
Their songs hang in the air
they serve to remind me
the great are not always heard
and sometimes not even seen
guarding my right to play
and wishing they could do it too
I’ll play for them righteously
That’s the least I could do

Oh god,he’s coming straight for me!
like i have just come into view
becoming visible only when
he needed an ear to piss in
balancing on the footpath
resplendent in a shell suit
All of a sudden I’m interesting
there’s no going back,I’m finished
No God No!What did I do?
my private space has been invaded
gravity is kicking his ass
he repels it’s insistent pull
I’m getting off the tram
he’s singing help me if you can
It’s like he’s Amish,he’ll never know that I’m thinking he’s a weirdo
User friendly I’m in his stare
User friendly he ain’t goin nowhere
User friendly
Old spice and headlice you can photograph
My lifes in crisis since I crossed his path
I’m getting off the tram
he’s singing help me if you can
It’s like he’s Amish,he’ll never know that I’m thinking he’s a weirdo
Like Nureyev,he don’t fall over
he gracefully bows and resumes his pose
User friendly I’m in his stare
User friendly he ain’t goin nowhere

starin out the windscreen
like its the blitz
some people look so lonely
you know , like "lonely" out of "Callan"
if he knew then what he knows
if he knew now what he knew then
the secondhand man might know he how got here
sitting at an old school desk
suckin on an icy pole
"this carpets made in Egypt.Came off the boat from Cairo.I'll go there soon, when I shift this gear. Dunes filled with gold, or so I hear".
"ello darlin', yeah its all good stuff, yeah....geezer died up the road....cleared out a whole house.....couldn't lift it all by myself...nah...not with this back...nah....this?this is the rolls royce of carpets this one....yeah...."
if he knew then what he knows
if he knew now what he knew then
the secondhand man might know he how got here

he ain't up himself

who’s that guy walkin down the street
meetin the gaze of all he sees
seekin the spark of recognition
seein if he lives in there as well
he ain't up himself
he's up everybody else
he ain’t gloomy, that’s for sure
he ain’t interior
he hates to be by himself
he hates to be alone
he ain’t up himself,nah,
he’s up everybody else
nah,he ain’t no snob
nah,he ain’t precious
just a regular,super regular guy
one of the boys,yeah
he ain’t up himself,nah,
he’s up everybody else
he ain’t against a bit o grippin 'n' grinnin'
he don’t need no learnin
he don’t like his own company
"how the fuck are ya?"
he hears voices ("hi!") everywhere he goes
the roar of the crowd
the ringin in his ears
the applause
except his grips too hard an' his grins too wide
his teeth are too straight' n' he never breaks his stride
he ain’t up himself,nah,
he’s up everybody else

(Over Intro)......V8 engine at the lights,rumbling.
Fat chicks,”over here sonny,what’s with the bumper sticker?”
P Platers,”Why,who’s askin?”
Fat chicks,”Only your worst nightmare,boys!YES!FAT CHICKS!!!!!!”(laughter)
Cars speed off,the fat chicks are heard,yelling at the P Plater.
FC1 “Hey,Dolores,this ones not so bad!”
FC2: “Quite rootable,really”.
Both:”How about your number,Leonardo,we might like to strap you on sometime!”
On the road,there’s no place you can hide
when you are so young,but yet,you’re so square
freewheelin hipsters are what you will be
when you surrender to my ample chassis
V8 roars up...
P Plater:”Oh god!I thought we'd lost them!”
FC2:Tryin to escape eh,kiddos?Tell ‘em Lydia.”
FC1:”There is no escape,boys!”
(In southern accent)”Us broads are gonna have us some P plater ass!”
On the road, there’s no place you can hide
when you are so young ,but yet,you’re so square
freewheelin hipsters,you will be
when you surrender to my ample chassis
Cop sirens wail.....
Bike Cop:”Do you realise you were doing 150 in an 80 zone?Your licence is going straight back to the Weeties packet.”
P Plater:”But,didn't you see those chicks?They were full on bulk comin on to us ,man!We wouldn’t have had a chance!”
Bike cop:”Yeah,and I bet they were stacked like Monroe,too!”
P Platers:”Yes!Fat chicks!”
On the road, there’s no place you can hide
when you are so young ,but yet,you’re so square
freewheelin hipsters,you will be
when you surrender to my ample chassis
Sound of Fat Chicks ,laughing maniacally,
FC1:”Dolores,did you see the look on their faces!”
FC2:”I do hope we didn’t scare them too much!”(both laugh maniacally)
FC1:”Hey,there goes another one,shall we?”
FC2:”Oh yes,lets do!”
