Where Drug Dealers Take Their Kids ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] One day in a hundred you do what you can But everyone around you thinks that you're Superman [Verse 2] You buy them some chips for the screams in the van This soap opera's not easy, most just don't understand [Chorus] So, pull out the bottle, sterilise the lids And put on your sports shoes and scoop out the mids See you in the beer garden let's have a rinse Let's meet at the place where the drug dealers take their kids Take their kids [Verse 3] The loves and the losses the joy and the hurt Well it's all the same Some just have more money to burn [Chorus] So, pull out the bottle, sterilise the lids And put on your sports shoes and scoop out the mids See you in the beer garden let's have a rinse Let's meet at the place where the drug dealers take their kids Take their kids Take their kids Take their kids Take their kids 2. Gone to the Dogs ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] I paid 36 bucks for a jug of beer And there's nothing fucken special about being in here One hundred percent got nothin' to say to you Don't sell me 18 dollar chips and serve 'em in a shoe [Chorus] This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs This place has gone to the dogs [Verse 2] They freed the greyhounds then they locked 'em back up Pulled over for RBT now I'm pissing in a cup Let's dig the biggest hole and run it from a phone Get on your knees and beg until they throw a bone [Chorus] This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs [Verse 3] And when the human race is finally gone and dead The animals will make everything right again [Chorus] This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs This place has gone to the dogs Gone to the dogs 3. The Wreckage ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Hey there man remember when we had been up for days And then using different voices called and shut down the rave? And when we hid in the balcony, and then we called the cops On our neighbours who did nothing but live next door to us? [Chorus] And now as we sift through the wreckage again, and work out what's busted and which bits will mend Our favourite human and my oldest friend And you act like a cunt but my love never ends [Verse 2] We called that guy on the radio at one or two AM And then wrote songs on amphetamines, performed them for him Our houses they were sanctuaries of soap operas and lies And funerals were balanced out by laughing til we cried [Chorus] We speak to each other through dick jokes and songs We will recover but don't take too long I am impotent but I'll try and I'll try When you act like a cunt but my love it goes on My love it goes on You act like a cunt but my love it goes on [Chorus] And now as we sift through the wreckage again And work out what's busted and which bits will mend Our favourite human and my oldest friend And you act like a cunt My love it goes on You act like a cunt My love it goes on You act like a cunt But my love it goes on 4. Dead Man's Underpants ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] In the op shop I can't stand still So much chafing my legs I can't feel I'm so excited for the big date planned tonight [Verse 2] The lost memories all the broken dreams They all look like falling apart at the seams I just need some items that are not too dank And it would be really helpful not to break the bank [Chorus] I'm walkin round in a dead man's underpants Second hand but I thought I'd take a chance Should avoid anything close to romance At the time when off they peel [Verse 3] The lost memories all the broken dreams They all look like falling apart at the seams I just need some items that are not too dank And it would be really helpful not to break the bank [Chorus] I'm walkin round in a dead man's underpants Second hand but I thought I'd take a chance Should avoid anything close to romance At the time when off they peel [Outro] I'm walkin round I'm walkin round I'm walkin round in a dead man's underpants At the time when off they peel 5. Lil Deadshit ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] I catch you on CCTV Doin' your shit graffiti Talk like you've had a lobotomy But there's a familiarity [Pre-Chorus] Something 'bout that stance Something 'bout that face [Chorus] Lil Deadshit Well get the fuck away from me Lil Deadshit Throw you as far as I can see Lil Deadshit And I see my reflection in your eyes You fucken deadshit [Verse 2] Throw food on my neighbour's wall I was just like you after all You keep me up til after four Like a hundred times I've done before [Bridge] I was just like you but with better music [Chorus] Lil Deadshit Well get the fuck away from me Lil Deadshit Throw you as far as I can see Lil Deadshit And I see my reflection in your eyes You fucken deadshit [Outro] Deadshit Deadshit Deadshit Lil Deadshit Deadshit Deadshit Lil Deadshit Lil Deadshit And I see my reflection in your eyes You fucken deadshit 6. Laneway Dave ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] The doors are closed The chilled wind blows in from the East And whispers memories of a time in the sun Then I see a light through the cracks turn on And hear the sound of a good time rising up [Chorus] And here stands Laneway Dave Silhouette in the haze Been gone for 40 days It's time for Laneway Laneway Dave Laneway Dave [Verse 2] Extreme laneway darts is the order of the evening As the chandelier reflects off the bikes We're playing air drums along with the experience As the lights behind the bookshelf turn on [Chorus] And hang with Laneway Dave It's where I'll rest my brain Inside that perfect cave And learn from Laneway Laneway Dave Laneway Dave Dave 7. Instant Coffee ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Early retirement's killing me slow Sliding down that long plateau I sold my TV and my stereo But it won't last very long I got no postman getting me high Top shelf gotta say goodbye Stone broke and starry eyed But I know what's going wrong [Verse 2] I wanna see you, meet at the pub Not in the bistro, I'm sitting out the front With a bottle and a smile and a "what do you want?" Gonna sit here for a while [Chorus] I'm back on instant coffee No fancy dinners for me I've got the secret And I'm living out my life happily I'm back on instant coffee Still get my good times for free I'm in the gutter And I'm living like exiled royalty [Verse 3] And if you see me, don't pass me by Yeah I remember that look in your eye There by the grace of your nine to fucken five Yeah and I've got a plan and I'm doing alright Got a teaspoon and a smile [Chorus] I'm back on instant coffee No fancy dinners for me I've got the secret And I'm living out my life happily I'm back on instant coffee Still get my good times for free I'm in the gutter And I'm living like exiled royalty [Outro] I'm back on instant coffee I'm back on instant coffee I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty 8.

I Think My Neighbour Is Planning to Kill Me ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] I hear a voice whisper my name I don't know yours it is my one enduring shame I hear a noise of rustling leaves And I pray to hell that you are far away from me Should have listened to the warning bells The kind of guy they say kept to himself [Chorus] I think my neighbour is planning to kill me I'm not a hundred percent as to why I think my neighbour is planning to kill me Coz I've seen that dark look in his eye In his eye [Verse 2] I know he cooks amphetamines I'm not here to judge it's got nothing to do with me Thought things were better, he fell in love I didn't think I'd be the one he's dreaming of Now I hear him creeping 'round my house As the re-enactment writes itself [Chorus] I think my neighbour is planning to kill me And I wonder what's taking so long I think my neighbour is planning to kill me And I hope and I pray that I'm wrong [Chorus] I think my neighbour is planning to kill me And I wonder what's taking so long I think my neighbour is planning to kill me And I shouldn't have written this song [Outro] I think my neighbour is planning to kill me And I hope and I pray that I'm wrong That I'm wrong That I'm wrong That I'm wrong That I'm wrong 10. Horse Meat ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] He's got some real good, facial grooming New t-shirt every day He went from cocaine to parachuting Played some golf on the way [Chorus] When he fell off the wagon was quite the leap He went from mushroom burgers straight to horse meat [Verse 2] Sick and tired of, chips and Red Bull He dreamt of Phar Lap instead Don't even cook him, straight on the table And crack a raw quail egg [Chorus] When he fell off the wagon was quite the leap He went from tofu salad straight to horse meat [Outro] When he fell off the wagon was quite the leap He went from tofu salad straight to horse meat He went straight to horse meat 11.

Tontined ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Found the sand But I haven't seen the sea for a month Touch my hand But my skin is crawling out of the door Then I see some friends I know Thought we at least agreed on enemies [Chorus] Tontined And if you see me on the streets Waving flags with the well Nazis I consent to taking me in my sleep [Verse 2] Take a rest Take the rest of time to fill me with doubt What a mess To have come this far to throw it all out I may not have far to go So can someone softly light the road [Chorus] Tontined And if you see me on the streets Waving flags with the well Nazis I consent to taking me in my sleep [Chorus] Tontined And if you see me having fun With the likes of the proud boy scum I consent to taking me in my sleep Tontined [Chorus] And if you see me having fun With the likes of the proud boy scum I consent to taking me in my sleep [Outro] Tontined Tontined Tontined I consent to taking me in my sleep 14. Fireworks ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] They cancelled the fireworks on New Year's Eve Somewhere between the burning eyes and the blackened trees Hose off your roof tell your family to leave, just try to breathe Come out of retirement and get on the tools Elvis lives and he's sucking up your swimming pool From the 12 days of crisis-wrapped Christmas to April fools [Pre-Chorus] The streets are all empty You're stuck here at home The radio's off it's too close to the bone "Just you fucken wait till I get you alone" [Chorus] There's a little piece of heaven for the lucky some Out of the frying pan and into to the searing sun The fuse burning down and it's fireworks for every one [Verse 2] From the safest suburbs to the tidiest towns Hear the blunt force trauma as the sun goes down From the starter pistol to the golden point try The neighbours said he seemed like a nice enough guy [Chorus] There's a little piece of hell saved for everyone Trapped between the locked window and the loaded gun The fuse burning down and it's fireworks for everyone 15. Hospitality and Violence ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Came to entertain you and rest my head But I don't want to eat and then end up dead In a stormwater drain just outside of town Let's not argue my friend [Chorus] The only difference we have is...

Old Mate Neck Tattoo ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Tuesday morning can Gotta hide the memory of your raised hand Still got no one to be Still sinking in that endless open sea [Chorus] So hit the road get your toes in the sand Even when life hasn't quite worked out as planned No one here knows the story that burns in your hand And it's always the guys with the neck tattoos That hold you close and say "I love you" [Verse 2] Where desperation reigns And it's fitting in these blood-soaked open plains Where nothing makes much sense Looking through this dusty broken chain link fence [Chorus] So hit the road get your toes in the sand Even when life hasn't quite worked out as planned No one here knows the story that burns in your hand And it's always the guys with the neck tattoos That hold you close and say "I love you" [Bridge] So take it like a man and run And cower underneath the southern stars of this stolen land [Chorus] So hit the road get your toes in the sand Even when life hasn't quite worked out as planned No one here knows the story that burns in your hand And it's always the guys with the neck tattoos That hold you close and say "I love you" 18. Finally I Can Get Arrested in This Town ------------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Living in shadow's never fun I never wanted anything from anyone Make an impression leave a mark Blow up a waterslide amusement park I know I've got it coming and I know I can't be free But I got my face on the TV Now you might just notice me [Chorus] 'Coz I can finally get arrested in this town Took a while for me to get arrested in this town All apologies for turning your life upside down But I can finally get arrested in this town [Verse 2] Public Enemy life on the run I always wanted to be number one I never made the wanted list Until I fell in with the motorbike enthusiasts My knees are broken and my tattoo scars are sore I'm hurting but my life is so much more Than that boring prick next door [Chorus] 'Coz I can finally get arrested in this town Such a fantasy to live my life guest of the crown Aren't you proud of me, I fucked myself into the ground 'Coz I can finally get arrested in this town [Chorus] I can finally get arrested in this place Come on, can't you see this satisfied look on my face It's the end of me, but you will not see me frown 'Coz I can finally get arrested in this town Finally get arrested in this town Finally get arrested in this town 19.
