O Heathcote |
I can understand, I can understand why people talk with reverence |
'bout the changing of the seasons, 'bout the bluing of the light that brings |
such melancholy |
I can understand, I can understand why poets do mythologise |
'bout the browning of the land and the hardening on the back of your hand |
We were conceived in the back of a car |
Brought up in a bar, educated by TV |
I’ve got my PhD |
Dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee dee dee |
And now we crave all the comforts and accessories available |
And complain about our backs and how it is impossible to relax |
We walk the dog and sadly we consider how everything’s been ruined |
And moan about the youth while our arbitrary opinions become absolute truth |
We were controlled by an invisible hand |
The fat of the land made us softer than the sea |
I shall kiss you on your knee |
Hee hee hee hee, hee hee hee hee hee hee hee |
And in September I contemplate surrender |
Just dwell upon my odour and pour another soda |
In spite of Palestine |
