Lyrics Dead Badger - Chadwick Stokes, State Radio

Dead Badger

Dead badger in the back sheep field, I
Know it’s coming when the rain don’t feel right
Little sister, all I want is just to steer right
Can we go collecting in the good night?
As I live and breathe, you won’t believe
Who I saw just the other week
Stayed for a night and then kept moving
I fed her just as much as I could, fed her like a backseat man gone good
She asked me if I could look after her accordion
Dead badger in the back sheep field, I
Know it’s coming when the rain don’t feel right
Little sister, all I want is just to steer right
Can we go collecting in the good night?
She got picked up by a tour bus late one night
She was sleeping by her dog in the neon light
In the middle of nowhere, she said «Let me off here»
I’ll bury that badger, but I won’t bury him deep
Just in case he starts to breathe
I’ll wrap him in a dish towel to keep his body warm
Dead badger in the back sheep field, I
Know it’s coming when the rain don’t feel right
Little sister, all I want is just to steer right
Can we go collecting in the good night?
All I love
All I love
All I love is on the rise
And if it has to rain all day
Maybe we all could slip away
And go to where badgers breathe
And you find some company
All I love
All I love
All I love is on the rise
