about

This is a new, previously unreleased song (2020). It's a satirical take on the life of a low profile working musician in Australia.

lyrics

Singing to the barman
In a one-horse town out west
I always thought I'd be a big rock star
Lord knows I've done my nest

You walked into the room
And whispered sweetly in my ear
Got any Chisel?
It's all I want to hear

Well I've been playing shit-hole pubs
For most my life
I never could feed my seventeen kids
Or please my lovely wife

But when you whispered in my ear
Suddenly it became quite clear
I'm gonna have to make another plan
Fuck it man, I'm gonna learn Khe Sanh

The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
It's really got me worried
I'm going nowhere in a hurry
The last plain out of Sydney's almost gone

I tried to be a hipster in the city
Cowboy shirts and lonesome hurts
Oh man I looked so pretty
I even got a spin on Triple J
But I'm still stuck on the western highway
Looking for another dive to play

The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
The last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
It's really got me worried
I'm going nowhere in a hurry
The last plain out of Sydney's almost gone (x 2)
