Hi-Vis High Tea (2017)

You're a classic pervert, dress like a classic pervert
You're a classic pervert, classic pervert
Well I used to easily differentiate when l took the kids down to the sea
Now I don't know if you play guitar or if you're a paedophile from the '70s

Now I've got a ways to run. I'm not wasting time on the dumb
The wisdom of the morning sun is like an ancient sage from Punchbowl
Ray Ahn is my spirit animal
And then one day he said to me that they are not the enemy
So focus all your energies on bringing down religious fuckheads

If you're sitting on a flight everybody's packed in tight and you push your seat back... cunt act
And if you're the only one left alive holding the gun in a suicide pact.. cunt act
If a local footy team have a party dress up themed and their faces are all blacked... cunt act
If you fuck over the poor hiding your profits offshore just to pay less tax
Cunt act
If they force you to comply with another FOI but the good bits you redact.. cunt act
When a boxer lost a fight and you tweet him every night to remind him of the fact.. cunt act
When a lumberjack is good but you move the piece of wood just as he's swinging the axe... cunt act
When a witness on a case has a sudden about face and testimony he retracts... cunt act
When you roll a seasoned ham at a heap of tomato cans just after they've been stacked... cunt act
When your workers have to swear they won't unionise while there so they can easily be stacked Cunt act
When your wallet gets racked, you've woken after you've relaxed
When your phone screen is cracked, you dropped your bong after you've packed
When the feds have got you tracked, when your credos all got maxed
You're still peckish when you've snacked, when you gybed and should have tacked... cunt act

I'll be your sneeze guard I won't protect you a bit
Be your sneeze guard, be your useless piece of shit
I'll be your sneeze guard I will shield your world from nothing as your sneeze guard
I'll be your fucking sneeze guard
I've learned my lesson, I've learned it well
If I know one thing ifs I'm going straight to hell
You'll have to stand up, still be there
But I'll do nothing to help you out, I'm locking the door, I'm smashing the phone from now on I'm your sneeze guard

This awful shift it has ten hours to go
I think I'll make it but all honesty is I don't know
I dream of parties and pretend I'm lying next to you

So I'm shelving stacks as I'm stacking shelves
Trying to neutralise this living hell
Yeah I'm stacking shelves as I'm shelving stacks

My brain is dying there is no-one else
But I will survive I will rock a party by myself
I grab the moisturiser and I put it on the shelf

So I'm shelving stacks as I'm stacking shelves
Trying to neutralise this living hell
Yeah I'm stacking shelves as I'm shelving stacks
and when I come down I'm never coming back, not coming back.. I'm never coming back

All we can afford, the criminals' airport
where every conversation is a fucking punish
Descending signal bell
I will get off in hell
This line is the longest that's ever been
But I love you still
and I will endure
The violence and the threats and the endless plans to make it big this time
On the criminals airline
Scream at no-one it seems
So hard to live the dream
This line is the longest that's ever been
And now we're headed south
Or I could change it all
Just give me one more chance gonna show you all
we'll make it big this time
On the criminals' airline
We're gonna make it big this time
On the criminals' airline

Just trying to make ends meet, put some food upon the table and shoes upon my feet
I need a goddamn job where I don't have to answer to a psychopath boss
I will be free
In 270C
When I get my storage unit pill press
Got boxes for a bed, I spend my days breathing through a t-shirt wrapped around my head
I spent my life in chains, now I'm wedged between a surfboard and remote control planes
I'll build my wealth
As i sell my health
When I get my storage unit pill press

Fuck my school reunion (x 5)

Wendy Hogan and Matthew Simpson,
It's great to hear they're doing well for themselves ooh
They've got a hair removal business on the west coast
They're thinking hard about expanding out from there

But I don't live that way

So fuck my school reunion

Steven Archer and Carol Johnson,
These renovations they won't pay for themselves ooh
It's great to hear that they just got into the market at the right time
They won't sell for at least a year

But I don't live that way

So fuck my school reunion (x 5)

I used to hang out on this lonely beach
For some relief from this oppressive heat
when things unravelled it was just the start
Ten bad decisions and a broken heart
I lost everything I used to own
I sold everyone I used to know
That old morality is on the run and now
I'm here to get the damage done
Deep up the rivers where I'll never leave
One hundred tigers watching over me
I never fitted in my own backyard
I never was at home right from the start
I lost everything I used to own
I sold everyone I used to know
That old morality is on the run and now I'm here to get the damage done
I burned everything that's dear to me
I threw the keys to my storage unit in the sea
I couldn't find a further place for you away from me
And now I'm here to get the damage done

For everyone I forgot
Raise up your glass to the whole fucking lot
Beer and a shot
For everyone I forgot
Smoothed out like bitumen set in like rot
Nothing left to do
But to sink like cement just to float through the roof
when I hit the ground everything will come true
Beer and shot
Beer and a shot
It's everything that I've got
At the end of the world please don't let it stop
Beer and a shot multiplied by a lot
Keep pouring them out
Every last drop
Bad medicine since before I know when
Beer and a shot multiplied by a lot

We spent so long living underground but we're out here now where it's bright and sunny
You gave me somewhere to kick off my shell and you seem so cool when I have got no money
You said we're not here for a long time so now I'm gonna come home
Cause you're the black prince you're the black prince honey

Night after night when nothing is happening I dream of a place where nothing is wrong
Time after time the hammer is falling, the bed bugs are gone or so I am told
So take me where I wanna be
Bunbury
Bunbury you're killing me
I once had a nightmare of epic proportions I woke in a cold and windowless room
A friendly assassin had smashed all my teeth out and broke all the bones in both of my hands

Pigworm, pigworm, pigworm pigworm pigworm pigworm what the fuck?
I wish I was in yesterday when everything was beautiful
The sun was shining brightly the rain glistened on the streets
My porcine point of view that I put down to education
Was in fact a fucking pigworm shining in my brain

Finally, got absolutely everything
Got absolutely everything I need I'm set up for eternity
And finally, the summer that will never end I'm someone that you can depend upon
To fuck it up for everyone
And I'm digging a hole for myself
I'm digging a hole for myself in the sun
I'm killing myself in the sun
Suddenly we've run out of everything
we've run out of everything we need yeah we've run out of everything
And I can see. I am my own worst enemy
My kids are the priority for me
So I damn them for eternity
And I'm digging a hole for myself
I'm digging a hole for myself in the sun
I'm killing myself in the sun

I can always get on the wrong side of anyone
I don't need any help from you
And I'm fair in that I see fair game in everyone
I'm sorry if that clashes with your sheltered point of view
And yeah I'm wrong but this time I'm right I'm sorry if there's no apology
But don't cast your aspergers on me
Because I always put my money on the underdog
So much more exciting than the rest
And my cards are on the table you can count them up
I get a little anxious when they're too close to my chest
and if that's wrong, well I'm not right
But there's plenty more fucked up fish in the sea
So don't cast your aspergers on me
You're never wrong, it doesn't make it right
To buy in to this cruet conspiracy
So don't cast your aspergers on me

I was always messing up the big things
I let the big things mess me around
Holding on too tightly to my own strings
To ever let them keep me down
But if the things I take to take me away, take me away to where I wanted to
I know that every time I get there be fine as long as I can get messed up with you
I got a bad habit of messing up the best things
Until the best thing dragged me down
Your hands are holding my head above water and keeping me touching the ground
And when the things I take get taken away, I know what I'm gonna do
know that I'll be fine just thinking of the next time that I can get messed up with you
Fucked up high on isolation
It's a sad sad situation
Mid-life mid-week sedation
No-one's getting through
Locked off so bored and boring
Then you come and smash my door in
I'm sure I'm messing up with, messing up with you
And if the things I take to take me away, take me away, from everything I knew
If I lose my mind I know that be fine as long as I can get messed up with you
As long as i can lose my mind with you
At home I locked my door And ignoring everyone that tries to drag me through
Fucked up high on isolation
And then you came and smashed my face in
Messed me up and now I'm racing to get messed up with you

You're the burning tyre around my neck
I put out your fires but you're still a wreck
I will follow down to the depths of fun
And I will be around when you find the sun
Everyone I know has mental problems
Everyone surrounding me are all fucked in the head
Everyone as far as I can see, at least they're acting more like me
Everyone I know has mental problems
You're the turning tide upon my shore
You're the late night knock on my front door
And I will follow down into the depths of fun
And I will be around when you find the sun
Everyone I know has mental problems
Everyone surrounding me are all fucked in the head
And I've got all the answers just put your head underneath the sea
Everyone I know has mental problems

A normal quiet suburban street it's almost evening time
Shocked by piercing light I'm peering out through closed venetian blinds
I'm waiting for the postman 'cause he's gonna get me high
Bitcoins are tumbling the blockchain's set to self-destruct
It never used to be this way, to be so hard to get tucked up
I'll be hiding by the doorway it's time to claim my prize
The receipt for the order hidden on external drive
I'll hold out that five star rating 'til the kicking thing arrives
I'm waiting for the postman...'cause he's gonna get me high
Forty stage encryption and it's still not at my door
Send a tucking pigeon burrow underneath my floor
Airdrop from a plane or send a mormon to my place
Blast it from a cannon aimed directly at my face
It used to be so easy everybody knew a guy
But we're living in the future they've got cameras in the sky
And ASIO gets closer every week that's going by
Still waiting for my postman, 'cause he's going to get me high

Scoop out my eyes so you can see
That everything isn't as bad as what you believe
Carve out my guts take everything
I might be braindead but my heart's still beating
I will be your organ donor I will sacrifice my liver
Until the party's over
I will be your organ donor be holding on forever
'Til there's nothing to recover
My lungs aren't worth the air they breathe
But you can rip them from my chest if they will help you sleep
My kidneys soak up all our sins
And I can tell by your yellowing eyes that they'll do more good out than in
I can feel the sedation filling up my cardiovascular system
Feel the blade on my small intestine I'll always be with you
Cause I will be your organ donor
Tick the box awake and sober
Sign the rest of my life over
They won't know the difference between two grown men's vas deferens
Open up my pineal gland serotonin transplant happy to lend a hand
I will be your organ donor I will sacrifice my liver
Until the party's over
I will be your organ donor drink ourselves into a coma
I'll be holding on forever

Then you said, meet me at the food court at 10am
Or there a bouts you weren't quite sure
The savages are closing in, I grit my teeth
And be waiting
Watching the fights
Caused by all the MDMA leeching away
And I'll be waiting
Fluorescent lights
Thinking about all of the things that we've done right
In the place the city and the suburbs meet
It won't be long
'til there's some shit going down
I belong everywhere that you are found
