Lyrics

She's crawling in the gutter Along the Edgecliff Road She's my North Shore Princess Come to lighten my load She's as sweet as honey cake On the move and on the make I start to sweat and I star to shake When she gives me she gives me that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss That Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss When she starts to spit and when she starts to hiss I love that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss She'll inject the venom In any kind of weather She can sink her teeth Through three inches of leather When I see that yellow stripe Sliding through the Toorak night I know I'm gonn die of fright When she gives me she gives me that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss That Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss When she starts to spit and when she starts to hiss I love that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss Ooh there is no antidote (and I like it like that) Yeah I think this might be love ( yeah it just could be) I'm ready to sign my life away (with a poison pen) Here she comes here she comes again Ooh there is no antidote (and I like it like that) Yeah I think this might be love ( yeah it just could be) Ooh another bad heartache (and I like it like that) Here she comes here comes that tiger snake Will you climb the ladder Or will you feed the snake Come on roll the dice And see which chance you take She'll be waiting in the grass Oooh she's gonna strike so fast You'll resist but you won't last When she gives you that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss That Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss When she starts to spit and when she starts to hiss I love that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss Ooh there is no antidote (and I like it like that) Yeah I think this might be love ( yeah it just could be) I'm ready to sign my life away (with a poison pen) Here she comes here she comes again Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss That Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss When she starts to spit and when she starts to hiss I love that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss That Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss When she starts to spit and when she starts to hiss That Tiger that Tiger that Tiger that Tiger snake kiss That Tiger Snake That Tiger Snake Kiss

Josie lives in a two room flat Just across from the elevator door She spends her days just gettin high Up on the sixteenth floor She's working nights but she'd rather not say Just what she does to collect her pay Not everything is heaven sent It is what it is and it pays the rent Some dreams were never meant in Powdertown Frankie looks like a nice young cop But he's got an old cops face He believed in truth and justice Till they took him off the case Now he's walkin the beat on the wrong side of town Bustin drunks and shakin them down Don't ask him who he's working for All he knows is the laws the law And it'll be like this for evermore in Powdertown The thunder rolls and the rain pours down But it can't wash away the dirt It can't wash away the memories That make this old town hurt Years go by Everyone gets older The steel begins to rust Life goes on and the lights go out And dreams they turn to dust Stevie says he's a business man But that's no business of yours He buys and sells commodities That come from distant shores Briefcase full of unmarked bills Come get your love get your thrills He's the man who sells you fun Hides his face but he shows his gun Some people never see the sun in Powdertown So if you're driving through one day And see that exit sign You might slow down take a look Risk a parking fine But if you're smart you'll pass on by Get where you're goin kiss this place goodbye Not everything is heaven sent It is what it is and it pays the rent Some dreams were never meant like Powdertown

I rent a flat in Highett I eat at Hungry Jacks I was born in the Fifties On the wrong side of the tracks I was married but she left me For a plumber from Prahran Now I see my kids on weekends I'm a halfway happy man but ... But when I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow I'm gonna rip of this dirty blue collar When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar Well I'm from the south of South Road The great artistic void But I know a great Brett Whitely Drysdale or Boyd I love a classic landscape I know a good red wine And lately I've been thinkin That the good life should be mine When I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow That cheap champagne will be real hard to swallow When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar OOh that blue ribbon luck just grows and grows Like honey old money flows and flows and it flows and flows But when I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow I'm gonna rip of this dirty blue collar When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar I've tried so hard to shake it And lose that convict streak I'm an A grade mechanic I get 450 clear a week My Ford dropped a tail shaft On Scotch College Hill But I know it won't be too long Till I get my fingers in the till and.. OOh that blue ribbon luck just grows and grows Like honey old money flows and flows and it flows and flows When I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow That cheap champagne will be real hard to swallow When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar But when I get my hands on a Kooyong Dollar I'm gonna be a hard act to follow I'm gonna rip of this dirty blue collar When I get my hands on a Kooyong dollar

Down a bush track off a dirt road No milkbar no postcode In the state of blissed out mind It's always nineteen sixty nine Ah when hippy boy meets hippy girl In Brunswick street tonight She'll take him back to the hippy hut Where everything's allright Take off her cheesecloth kaftan And brew some Jasmine tea Read Kerouac and Ginsberg And trip on poetry Yeah we live our lives in a hippy hut Our front door is never shut There's love and peace out in the bush Away from all the shove and push And our Kombi van goes put put put To our happy hippy happy hippy hippy hut Wear a headband seek nirvana Pack a bong and smoke banana Tofu gut and Lily Ponds They dance along in leather thongs Ah we'll build a mudbrick heaven Wear flowers in our hair Potbelly stove and windchimes Seagrass everywhere Yeah we live our lives in a hippy hut Our front door is never shut There's love and peace out in the bush Away from all the shove and push And our Kombi van goes put put put To our happy hippy happy hippy hippy hut Now hippy girl and hippy guy Lay the mattress on the floor Burn that incense all night long Submit to cosmic law I searched the world for the Holy Grail Pinned the donkey on the tail I knew my life was in a rut Till I found my hippy hut Now we drink rainwater from a tank Most of the time our minds a blank I get to feel just like a king Up here where the bellbirds sing We live our lives in a hippy hut Our front door is never shut It's the shack we call our home And we never feel alone Our Kombi van goes put put put To our happy hippy happy hippy hippy hut Yeah we live our lives in a hippy hut Share the tomb with old King Tut There's love and peace out in the bush Away from all the shove and push And our Kombi van goes put put put To our happy hippy happy hippy hippy hut

Let's go down to the black and white bar Sit at the black and white tables Drink black and white coffee tell black and white lies Read the black and white paper Lets go down to the black and white bar Dance on the black and white marble Get ourselves in a black and white mood And talk that black and white garble Let's go down to the black and white bar Get some black and white powder Lay some lines on the black and white girls And turn that music louder We all are colour blind But we don't mind We've never seen a rainbow We've never dressed in day glo Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's get it right get it down tonight Down in Black and white down in the black and white bar Let's get down to the black and white bar Spend some black and white money Plan and scheme dream black and white dreams Taste some black and white honey Let's drive on down to the black and white bar Through Black and white streets in a Black and white car Play black licks on a white guitar Make it big be a black and white star We all are colour blind But we don't mind We've never seen a rainbow We play dice and dominoes Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's get it right get it down tonight Down in Black and white down in the black and white bar We live on the chessboard Make our moves from black to white No shades of grey no middle ground It's night or day it's left or right Meet me down at the black and white bar Be there at the black and white hour You can state your case and deal the ace Feel the black and white power Won't you come to the black and white bar And watch the black and white dancers Let me know if it's yes or no I deal in black and white answers We all are colour blind But we don't mind We've never seen a rainbow This is the world that we know No yellow green or white or red Not a colour in our head We've never seen a blue sky It's black and white and then we die Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's get it right get it down tonight Down in Black and white down in the black and white bar Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's go down to the black and white bar Let's get it right get it down tonight Down in lack and white down in the black and white bar

In 68 I bought an axe at the local music shop Took it home and tuned it up and I began to bop Played that thing all night and day each fret from neck to nut There weren't no riff I did not know no lick I could not cut In 73 I joined a band and wrote some snappy tunes Went out to play six nights a week to all you drunken hoons From Leederville to Bondi the news it travelled far That maybe we could play that 1976 guitar Wah wah pedal old Vox amp Marshall and a Fender Plug em in and tune em up it's the sound we all remember In 74 we got tight in 75 we starred Then we knew we had to play that 1976 guitar All the way to number one the music did not stop We were high and mighty but it's lonely at the top Then one night I met a girl at the Sebel bar And she taught me how to play that 1976 guitar Wah wah pedal old Vox amp Marshall and a Fender Plug em in and tune em up it's the sound we all remember We were coming close close but no cigar Then I found the key to play that 1976 guitar Ooh it¹s been a long time Since I've opened up that case Plugged it in and gave the next door neighbours just a taste I know we weaved some magic up upon that stage And somewhere in the spotlight I think we came of age But I learnt one simple lesson - No matter who you are Maybe you can play that 1976 guitar Wah wah pedal old Vox amp Marshall and a Fender Plug em in and tune em up it's the sound we all remember In 74 we got tight in 75 we starred Then we learned to play that 1976 guitar If you walk the walk no matter who you are You can learn to play that 1976 guitar Could be a Gibson Les Paul or Fender Jaguar Just as long as she's a 1976 guitar Just as long as she's a 1976 guitar

Way up on the Arctic coast There's a club that's just the most It's the place the Russians go When the party lines on hold The best nite club in the USSR Music Vodka Caviar It's the cossacks local spot They come in from the cold to that... Jukebox in Siberia Pounding out hysteria Get down get down Vladivostock Drop a rouble in the slot of that Jukebox in Siberia Juke box in Siberia In the land of the midnight sun Rasputin's having so much fun Trotsky Marx and Lenin too They're all drinkin at the bar Kruschev he's there looking cool Michael and Breznev shooting pool Ivan's up from Gorky Park To hang out with the Tzar at that... Jukebox in Siberia Deep in the interior Get down get down Vladivostock All the Russians wanna rock to that Jukebox in Siberia pounding out hysteria All the Russians wanna rock Drop a rouble in the slot of that JukeBox in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia When the needle hits that 45 All of Russia starts to jive When old Chuck Berry rings that bell You know the revolution's alive and well Deep beneath the Polar ice The Yankee sailors dress up nice Take the sub up to the top So they can get on down If you're CIA or KGB They might let you in for free There's a Red Star on the door You can hear the sound ... Of Balalaika's ringing out The Beatles singing Twist and Shout I love the West I love their beer I'm so glad Glasnost is here at that.. Jukebox in Siberia Pounding out hysteria Get down get down Vladivostock Drop a rouble in the slot of that Jukebox in Siberia Juke box in Siberia All the Russians wanna rock Drop a rouble in the slot of that Jukebox in Siberia Pounding out hysteria All the Russians wanna rock Drop a rouble in the slot of that Jukebox in Siberia Juke box in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia Jukebox in Siberia

Sometimes when I'm driving Driving all night long My mind gets round to thinking About the place that I belong I gotta make it to the river And see the water shining bright In the Westgate light In the Westgate light The steelyards and the factories Standing in the rain The empty streets and houses This place will never change When I get off that freeway I know I'm gonna feel alright In the Westgate light In the Westgate light In the Westgate light In the Westgate light When I look out on this city From way up on that bridge I see a million diamonds shining in the night There's a million people out there Who don't even know my name But I know that's where my friends are So I love em just the same Solo I know that she'll be waiting For me to come around We'll listen to those foghorns moan When I shut this motor down We'll stand out on the balcony And hold each other tight In the Westgate light .....
