as i rolled up my trousers the fear of death fell away from me

Untitled

picture a day
picture a life in full
albert park mansions
grasshoppers on a hill
i know you don't if you know you want to
buy me a horse and win wheel of fortune
drive a big car and read lots of 4chan
live the only way you can

mister big man
call me from the street
combo meal comes to $9.90 and the
guilt trip comes for free
the birds'll all basketball with the small kids
and we'll all have a great time
drive a big car and read rhymes with the small kids
the kids are quire small but that's fine

picture a hearse
picture a life in reverse

Small Kids

pull my wings off
so that i fit in to a tracksuit
i don't need to fly any more cause i'm close to the trains
beep my ticket and send me to the suburbs
don't worry - you'll still see me
it's not like that much has changed

cut my hair off
didn't need super strength anyway
cut my friends off
make some new ones who have mortgages to pay
don't worry - you'll still see me
at high school reunions and maybe on cup day

and all the angels sing

carrum downs hallelujah
thomastown hallelujah
hoppers crossing, nunawading and springvale

if there's a chris and marie's
and some fat kids smoking durries
you know i'll be there

Eulogy for All My Friends Who Moved to Shit Suburbs (Carrum Downs Hallelujah)

i live by the creek
where the platypus live in plastic bottles
and white people yell
to get out their white people anger
and the train goes past
every sixteen minutes
it's going to the platform
to get out its white people anger

it was like that when we got here
two hundred years ago
the creek was already full of maccas paper bags
there was a wurundjeri maccas don'cha know
and jacana was already a shithole
we probably made it worse though
but coolaroo was always this bad
stabsville from the get go

creek music
