Teteko (Aotearoa)
These fields are plain
The power lines they make scars amongst the backroads
Past the corn and maize
They're frantic in the wind
If the sun shone then this would come to life
But the mist and the rain continue on
Outside it's pouring, pouring down it falls
Down by the river
out up in the hills
The family that lives there
they are fishing for eels
They've come farm the party
for the old lady who died
She was Auntie to three of them
mother to one
Outside it's pouring
pouring
down it fails
Just after midday, the tavern it is full
The walls lined with old folk
The Maori boys drink down the murky beer
It's an amiable feeling, there's no fights 'til after dark
And that's just family, that's all
Outside pouring
pouring
down it fails
And that's just the family...
Outside it's pouring
The power lines they make scars amongst the backroads
Past the corn and maize
They're frantic in the wind
If the sun shone then this would come to life
But the mist and the rain continue on
Outside it's pouring, pouring down it falls
Down by the river
out up in the hills
The family that lives there
they are fishing for eels
They've come farm the party
for the old lady who died
She was Auntie to three of them
mother to one
Outside it's pouring
pouring
down it fails
Just after midday, the tavern it is full
The walls lined with old folk
The Maori boys drink down the murky beer
It's an amiable feeling, there's no fights 'til after dark
And that's just family, that's all
Outside pouring
pouring
down it fails
And that's just the family...
Outside it's pouring
