Sounds Of Then (This Is Australia) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Ganggajang Album: True To The Tone
Lyrics
I think I hear the sounds of then And people talking The scenes recalled, by minute movement And songs they fall, from the backing tape That certain texture,that certain smell
To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets In brick veneer on financed beds In a room, of silent hardiflex That certain texture, that certain smell Brings home the heavy days Brings home the the night time swell
Out on the patio we'd sit And the humidity we'd breathe We'd watch the lightning crack over canefields Laugh and think, this is australia
The block is awkward - it faces west With long diagonals, sloping too And in the distance, through the heat haze In convoys of silence the cattle graze That certain texture, that certain beat Brings forth the night time heat
Out on the patio we'd sit And the humidity we'd breathe We'd watch the lightning crack over canefields Laugh and think that this is australia
To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets In brick veneer on financed beds In a room of silent hardiflex That certain texture, that certain smell Brings forth the heavy days Brings forth the night time sweat Out on the patio we'd sit And the humidity we'd breathe We'd watch the lightning crack over canefields Laugh and think, this is australia This is australia
