A.O. - The Presets[00:00:00]
A O [00:00:08]
Children mustn't know[00:00:10]
That we're living in a city that's built on bones[00:00:11]
A O [00:00:15]
All the army go [00:00:17]
Please enjoy this city before it explodes[00:00:18]
A O [00:00:23]
Here we here we go [00:00:24]
It's a pity it's a feeling I can't control[00:00:26]
A O [00:00:30]
The children mustn't know this is adults only[00:00:32]
Adults only[00:00:38]
Adults only[00:00:42]
Kookaburra sits in a tree I named[00:01:01]
You can feel the sorrow [00:01:04]
I can feel the shame[00:01:06]
Cause there's no-one laughing round here[00:01:08]
No more but he[00:01:11]
I flew back to the coast on New Year's Day[00:01:15]
Little plane tossed 'round by a southerly[00:01:19]
And when I stepped outside[00:01:23]
The streets were clean[00:01:25]
But I know deep down lies undiscovered[00:01:31]
Past the bone foundations of a town corrupted[00:01:35]
Under creaking piers [00:01:38]
Under iron cover[00:01:40]
Past the concrete crown of a million lovers[00:01:42]
Past strutting and swagger [00:01:46]
Under coreless rubble[00:01:48]
Past torn down shanties of forgotten troubles[00:01:50]
Through its ills and evils [00:01:54]
Past rants and ravings[00:01:55]
Lies the cold dark soul of an emerald city I[00:01:57]
A O [00:02:02]
Children mustn't know[00:02:03]
That we're living in a city that's built on bones[00:02:05]
A O [00:02:09]
All the army go [00:02:11]
Please enjoy this city before it explodes[00:02:12]
A O [00:02:17]
Here we here we go [00:02:19]
It's a pity it's a feeling I can't control[00:02:20]
A O [00:02:24]
The children mustn't know this is adults only[00:02:26]
Adults only[00:02:32]
Walking through the streets I can feel its sting[00:02:40]
Metal blue snakes screaming round this head I'm in[00:02:43]
Keeps railing all the way to bed[00:02:47]
And from the time it sleeps to its dawn awake[00:02:54]
City's dreams rang out like a melody[00:02:58]
"I finally recognize the tune " he said[00:03:02]
Through fears and fervour past lies and secrets[00:03:10]
Of ink stain panic stricken 5 star heathens[00:03:14]
Under storms of hell through tropical fevers[00:03:18]
Excitement of the first days of bushfire seasons[00:03:21]
All this planning disasters [00:03:25]
Monuments to the masters[00:03:27]
And the dog dark dealings of its backroom bastards[00:03:29]
Every long lost dream every failed endeavour[00:03:33]
Every ice beer trail of a rum rebellion[00:03:36]
Now I huddle these feelings of pity[00:03:40]
Watching new years colours rain down on the city[00:03:44]
Where our beautiful beaches suffer photo ops[00:03:48]
To watch schizophrenic tourists get shot by cops[00:03:52]
Generation of kids with the toughest teeth[00:03:55]
Still haunted by the visions of shocking ink[00:03:59]
Where little old ladies die afraid and alone[00:04:03]
Now surrounded by yuppies small bars and coke I[00:04:07]
A O [00:04:42]
Children mustn't know[00:04:44]
That we're living in a city that's built on bones[00:04:45]
A O [00:04:50]
All the army go [00:04:51]
Please enjoy this city before it explodes[00:04:52]
A O [00:04:57]
Here we here we go [00:04:59]
It's a pity it's a feeling I can't control[00:05:00]
A O [00:05:04]
The children mustn't know this is adults only[00:05:06]
Adults only[00:05:12]
Adults only[00:05:16]
Adults only[00:05:20]
