| You know I never
|
| I never busked in Vulcan Lane
|
| I could not, put my family through the shame
|
| It took deprivation
|
| And an aeroplane
|
| For me and Billy to find our feet
|
| Me and Billy
|
| Walking home weighed down, lebo takeaway
|
| Cheese is burning all around
|
| Deprivation makes a sound so sweet
|
| Billy got a van
|
| Billy got a job
|
| Billy got a job working for the Sydney City Mission
|
| Driving around everyday picking up the people
|
| And taking them home
|
| Billy said to me once
|
| He didn’t think it was much of a charity
|
| Taking people and putting them
|
| Where they really did not want to be That’s the Mission Beat
|
| The Mission Beat
|
| Yeah, the Mission Beat
|
| You know I never
|
| I never busked in Vulcan Lane
|
| Could not, did not, would not, should not
|
| Put my family through the shame |
