lyrics

In sneakers and jeans we’re dressed for combat
California has poets as well as producers and pricks
In syrupy morning sips the fanatic wash up
Oh, whatever you said you still look like Edie Sedgwick

Let the telco spread its copper wings
We’ll electrify, fa la la la la lie
On Mondays I take the bins out with mine
Oh, fa la la la la la I’m still too young to die

I adore the U in colour
Shops the maudlin mother
I never lived before Seattle
But looking good is half the battle

The bored star strives and thrives
Strikes and then retires
She’s pretty and repetitive
Knows how appropriate appropriation is

Withdraws and reforms
Creates another media storm
Says the environment is warming
Celebrities are starving

My attention doesn’t span
From my thumb to my wrist
Ban funding to the arts
No more funding to the arts

I never imagined she was a sensitive wee girl
And I’ll send her my love
I’ll send her my love

And fa la la…

You want my daughter
You can’t afford her
Your as crooked as British teeth
And the American Rich

She needs someone
Who can bring home the soy bacon
Can you do that
On the money that your making

And I like war if it’s a good one
It’s best to fall in love with no one
You’ll be kicking teeth with belief before long
Back to where you started but you won’t belong

You think there is kindness in the world you are wrong
You think you can make it if you try and you won’t fall
We’ll we like war when war is beautiful
Yeah, we like war when wars beautiful

The Bon Scotts Melbourne, Australia

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
