lyrics

There is a time and then there is a place
And a town filled with crazy god lovers

While the quiet rest in this quietness
The unjust paint souvenirs from the battlefields

Changing hands is the money of retired
Acute like all good pushers and shovers

For the meek and the alas alone
There is a kindness in everything unknown
There is a wreck resting on every ocean floor
And a winner in all of these long wars

Just as every sad boy
Loves the sound of skin
Breaking up and splitting
Dear fathers we should hide our razors

Don’t sing sad sad songs
If you are not such a sad sad fellow
Don’t go breaking all the rules
iI you are weak or yellow
Don’t go kissing all the girls
If you don’t want to make them proud
Don’t go messing up your life
With the dreams you had as a lad
Don’t go laughing at funerals
They are a time set aside for those to mourn
Don’t make fun of the frail and hungry
It is not their fault they are born
Don’t drive home if you have had too much to drink
This is a time to say what is on your mind
Don’t regret the experiences you have had
They have molded you over time
Don’t throw plates and glasses or insults
As our illusions will easily shatter
Don’t cry wolf too many times
people will not care when it really matters
DPon’t get angry at the little things
Remain lethargic and you will get through
Don’t have children they only get depressed
And hate everything you do.

Melbourne septet The Bon Scotts are firmly at the vanguard of the folk revival, absorbing traditional folk method and elegantly bastardising it with stories and unceremonious sounds.

The Bon Scotts are one of Melbourne’s hardest working bands. ... more
