Lyrics

You rode the 343 past the working men
On the asphalt vein through Kensington
Watched the sun melt the ANZAC strip
Some old guy pulled you up and gave you lip
Smashed a bottle, watched the seagulls scarper
Felt the breeze rise off the sea at La Perouse
Watched the lightning crack the head
I remember everything you said
Everyone's running
Calling your name
But when you fall
Don’t every face look the same
It was your black day you wore your best blue dress
The one your Mum lay-buyed at Best and Less
He pulled you to the nicotine and beer
You said nothing when he whispered in your ear
He said ‘Your Mum’s got a small tear drop tattoo
I gave it to her, she’ll pass it onto you
But don’t show it where anybody else can see
Bury it between you and me”
Everyone's running
Calling your name
But when you fall
Don’t every place feel the same
And he worked hard for you
Daddy’s little girl
And he brought it home to you
He brought the whole wide world
The sparkler burns a hole in your eyes
When you’re a kid every day’s a big surprise
All the fires setting the streets alight
Don’t you wish your life was like Cracker Night?
Take the stuff you don’t want anymore
Throw the mattress out
Rip the lino from the floor
Put it on the street
Pour on the kerosene
Burn it all
Burn it ‘till you feel clean
Everyone's running
Calling your name
But when you fall
You should know you’re not the one to blame
