THE WHITLAMS

THE WHITLAMS - BLOW UP THE POKIES (1999) lyrics

rate me

There was the stage, two red lights and a dodgy P.A.

You trod the planks way back then

And it's strange that you're here again, here again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words

To make you feel better, walk out of this place

Defeat them in your secret battle

Show them you can be your own man again

Don't, don't explain

Lots of little victories take on the pain

It takes so long to earn

You can double up or you can burn, you can burn

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words

To make you feel better, walk out of this place

And defeat them in your secret battle

Show them you can be your own man again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words

To blow up the pokies and drag them away

'Cause they're taking the food off your table

So they can say that the trains run on time

Flashing lights, it's a real show

And your wife? I wouldn't go home

The little bundles need care

And you can't be a father there, father there

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words

To make you feel better, walk out of this place

And defeat them in your secret battle

Show them you can be your own man again

Show them you can be your own man again.

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words

To blow up the pokies and drag them away

'Cause they're taking the food off your table

So they can say that the trains run on time

Another man there was made the trains run on time
