Lyrics White Cockatoo - The Ocean Party

White Cockatoo

I knocked your mother up in the dunnies at the White Cockatoo
And then we had you, I didn’t know what to do
Now time is unwindin' at pace so the bullet train to
Melbourne is due any decade soon
By April, we’ll have run the bastards out and made a clear path
Me and your mum verse the pricks on the warpath
By April, we’ll clean up the air;
by April, we’ll be ready then
By April, we’ll have landed on a name: Edith, or Alistair
I’ll clean the house and make the bed
And buy the bread and comb your hair
I’ll let you sleep, I’ll sleep in shifts, I’ll clean up all the shit you shit
I’ll remember what I wanted when I was like you way back when
Keep listenin' and readin', bein' patient when you’re out of breath
Whatever you need me to do, I’d be happy to
By April, we’ll have sorted out a place with gas cooktops
By April, every arsehole in the world, we’ll have 'em locked up
That’s five months away
You’ve just gotta use your humour voice through folds of skin
I haven’t quite decided yet just what it is I’d wanna sing
My writing’s shit
My writing’s always cut through with somethin' bleak
Once I have kids, is that something that I am still allowed to think?
My voice is murmurin', my voice is murmurin' through folds of skin
My voice is murmurin', my voice is murmurin' through folds of skin
My voice is murmurin', my voice is murmurin' through folds of skin
I haven’t quite decided yet just what it is I’d wanna sing
Here’s a little world, here’s the big one
What’s «heck you» but a him or her to heck you?
But lookin' forward to meeting you
'Cause I knocked your mother up
In the dunnies at the White Cockatoo
And then we had you, it’s so fuckin' soon
And time is unravellin', the daycare’s booked, the car seat too
All we need now is you, you’ll be brand new
'Cause I knocked your mother up
In the dunnies at the White Cockatoo
