Donna

Donna has a new born baby,
She’s gunna show the whole town 
How she’s turned things around
Donna’s man lived out by Mt Gradey
Chalk on his hands
Black heart, black soul, cold cold man
But when the sunburn stung his cool hands cured the pain

Mmmm, I love my daddy
But I still bruise
I still bruise
Mmmm, I still bruise 

Donna mum gave life to 9 babies
Apple of her eye
She don’t cry no more, she’s a stern hard maam
Mmmm, she’s a stern heart maam
Donna’s dad loved to play the gamblin’ man
Roll the dice
When he’s on, he’s on
But when it’ time to come home he’s not so nice

Mmmm, I love my daddy
But I still bruise
I still bruise
Mmmm, I still bruise 

Donna rode the west bound train 
No goodbyes
She’s seen it once she’s seen it twice
No good man is violent to his wife
She ain’t gunna be some dumb fool’s dead bride

Mmmm, I love my daddy
But I still bruise
I still bruise
Mmmm, I still bruise 

Mmmm, I love my daddy
But I still bruise
Black heart, black soul cold cold man
When that sunburn stung, his cruel hands cured the pain

Mmmm, I love my daddy
But I still bruise
I still bruise
She ain’t gunna be some dumb fools dead bride

Knock on wood

Branded a brown circle on my lips again to see what I can find
Layed out on the pavement lookin’ flat out at the concrete sky above
The carpark built around me like I was just too painful to dig out 
If a random rolled around here, they’d surely think I’m fixed to the ground

I’ve spoken to the day light, he said he’ll hold off for us another hour 
Not gettin’ any rest, looks like, we might as well rack another line
Haven’t had much trouble yet, but I will admit I’ve had more than I’d planned
I’m hoping that it’s not too late, I’m hoping that I can,
I’m hoping that it’s not too late to knock on wood

Is it too late to knock,
Knock on wood, knock on wood
I wish I could, knock on wood

Took a bus ride to nowhere, I think they dropped us near the borderline
No one seemed to help us, but I guess they don’t speak words like mine
Made it to Ibiza but we couldn’t swing the dosh for beer or wine
Landed on some pills their, we sweat it out but we survived 

Now I’m shit faced in a cubicle, of a mens room in Barcelona bay
The span-yards seem believable but I ripped the bag, now I’ve gotta take it all
Tastes like danger, from a laundry mat I suspect this might have came
I’m hoping that it’s not too late, I’m hoping to freeze frame
I’m hoping that it’s not too late, to knock on wood

Is it too late to knock,
Knock on wood, knock on wood
I wish I could, knock on wood

Balanced now on a bar stool, in a dark room and the DJ’s all the rage
Laurie on my arm, so rubber it can stretch a country mile
Call another taxi, they’ll surely pick us up this time
Charged up on methylene-doixy-methamphetamine, alcohol your dead to me
I’ve found somebody else to ease my mind 

Is it too late to knock,
Knock on wood, knock on wood
I wish I could, knock on wood

Man on the moon

I watch a seed evergreen in the pasture grow
I wanna sail on it’s crystal wings 
Pretty Mary, just pull her right out of the ground

Ya plant it in the dirt not too much trouble
Then you and your friends, you can peddle
Sweet Mary, just pull her right out of the ground

Bring it on Bring it on
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
I’m like a man on the moon
You’ll never catch me

Daddy’s out of town don’t be sad he’s not around
Little thing, little thing
Dad’s got a pound full of brown
To get passed the boys in blue

What about my mumma
She said you were on the news
Daddy is it true?
True I was on them news but son
They’ll never catch me 

Bring it on Bring it on
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
I’m like a man on the moon
You’ll never catch me

Now daddy’s gone to jail the judge has set his bail, 
For a million things we wished we all had
My mum she thinks he’s bad
But he’s still my dad 

So Daddy, will ya teach me?
I want to sell the things your not supposed to
I’m be a man on the moon
They’ll never catch me 

Bring it on Bring it on
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
I’m like a man on the moon
They’ll never catch me

Bring it on Bring it on
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
I’m like a man on the moon
They’ll never catch me

Mumma, I failed ya, what’s a son to do?
I should’ve taken after you not my daddy and the crew,
Wow-o Man on the Moon

Tennessee Daniels

Somewhere out in the cold and lonesome range
There’s a man who sells you leather with a scar upon his face
He’s got buckshot
Violence in his eyes
But you sleep tight
Like a baby on a billion dollar high

The poli’s are all out of favour
The cops are on the run
The sound of hope is fading,
And your playground now a ruin
The crowd’s begun to turn and their hands are on their guns
So If you hear a case of liquor calling out your name, drink it down

The news is all part-fiction and the people see right through
They bark like dogs in peril while the birds fly north too soon
To the sound of our misery you dance, while blood drips from your hands
We’re bound, we’re broken, crippled by demands
But I’m not going down without
3 fingers of lynchburg whiskey
Tennessee Daniels
Your coming down with me

Atom Bomb

She Loved me hard, She loved me fast
She loved me while I was learning to
Wow, my heart is swollen
She loved me in the morning light
She told me what she’s going through
I cried and cried and cried
Wow, my heart is swollen 

She’s ready for an Atom Bomb
To heat up this place
She’s dying on a wall of fire
To come on and heat up this place

She told me how the medicine was
Hard to take 
And she don’t wanna feel that way
Wow, my heart is swollen
Babe, it’s beating for you
It’s beating for you

She’s ready for an Atom Bomb
To heat up this place
She’s dying on a wall of fire
To come on

And ask her the question (baby I’m yours)
She can’t wait, she can’t wait (baby I’m yours)
Baby I’ve loved ya
And I was yours from the very first time

County Lines

They know, I am the key (behind county lines)
City walls, breathe, and hold me (aahhh)

Eyes on the road, 
Lonely, lonely times
Mind on the gold
Soon you’ll be mine

Soon you’ll be mine
Soon you’ll be mine

She played by the rail lines (from the law she hides)
Only child, lonely life (suffering)
You say it all the time babe (fallen down)
Ya can’t get back up
Throwing all your time away 
Your always fucked up 

Bella goes out beyond the county line at night
Bella goes out, to find 
Bella goes out beyond the county line at night
Bella goes out to Fi-i-i-ind
