Lyrics

On stinkin' hot days
When the ground burns your feet
You stare at the ceiling
The trains break your sleep
The roads have got potholes
And your car falls apart
The milk bar attendant
Would like to sell you art
The neighbours hold on to their things
They know best
They sweep out the rat nests
And cry for their kids
The primary school children
On the gravel schoolyard
They got rings that start one side
And go all around
They're happy as they play
Make-believe games with themselves
For a while
And it's the only green we have
And we're the ones dressed in black
The new wave guitarists
With cows in their backs
The Thistle Hotel
It's a dream on its own
And every pool table
Has blood on the cloth
The motor car workshop has
Dogs chained and tied to the fence
For the night
The lucky old traveller
On the red trains
The car takes a beating
The roads aren't the best
I don't think the Cobies
Have been out to Thomas Town
Somehow I doubt that they will
Somehow I doubt that they will
