Backwaters (Live)
Sun so high
Water hole's dry
I wanna give up
But I don't know why
Sun so hot that meat cooks
In the shade
Saw a lemming
It was choking on death
It's mother'd kicked
And broken its neck
I've never seen blood or milk
Mix so divine
I've never seen such beauty
So maligned
Brother said
"Brother never done me good"
Nodding a face
Full of campfire soot
Been burning
Up our coals
Sting like a bitch
I catch a lift
On the last bus home
To the end of the line
For what coppers I own
I get thrown off, hit on, beat up,
Before I drown
In the murky backwaters
I'll lay my body down
Fifty stars above my head, and
Thirteen scars run through my chest
Blue and red blood
Become my veins
Blackened eyes
And a purple nose
I've got missing teeth
Got a lot of those
Oh, Marigold
You've never done me no harm
Marigold, in debt to you
Don't ever wanna say
The things I've thought of you
Marigold, I wrote you
A love song
Water hole's dry
I wanna give up
But I don't know why
Sun so hot that meat cooks
In the shade
Saw a lemming
It was choking on death
It's mother'd kicked
And broken its neck
I've never seen blood or milk
Mix so divine
I've never seen such beauty
So maligned
Brother said
"Brother never done me good"
Nodding a face
Full of campfire soot
Been burning
Up our coals
Sting like a bitch
I catch a lift
On the last bus home
To the end of the line
For what coppers I own
I get thrown off, hit on, beat up,
Before I drown
In the murky backwaters
I'll lay my body down
Fifty stars above my head, and
Thirteen scars run through my chest
Blue and red blood
Become my veins
Blackened eyes
And a purple nose
I've got missing teeth
Got a lot of those
Oh, Marigold
You've never done me no harm
Marigold, in debt to you
Don't ever wanna say
The things I've thought of you
Marigold, I wrote you
A love song
