This big old car, gonna take us home
This big old car, gonna take us home
Gonna take us home, to what we know so well
This big old car, gonna take us home

Gonna take us all the way to Brisbane
Take us all the way to Cairns
Take us back across to Katherine
To the Fitzroy River sands
Gonna see the Indian Ocean
And we’ll turn around and then
This big old car’ll take us home again

(Chorus)

Ain’t got no rattle free transmission
Ain’t no good around the town
There’s no fitted air condition
We just roll the windows down
And slam another tape in
And turn it up and pray
This big old car gonna take us all the way

This big old car, gonna take us home
Gonna take us all the way and back
However far we like to roam
Gonna take us all the way to heaven
Take us all the way to hell
And then this big old car gonna get us home.

I watch you slide out of bed
When the night has gone
I watch you tilt your head
The earings go on

This time round
This time round
I’m gonna get it right
This time round

I look at all the years
The chances I had
I look at all the ways I always seemed to find
For turning good into bad

This time round
This time round
I’m gonna get it right
This time round

City papers blow around me
As the mornin’ hits the sky
On the ocean ships are waitin’ high
So am I

City sweeper goes around me
He don’t need no reason why
If I don’t seem in a hurry now
I’ve arrived

Come on baby won’t you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
How can I hold back the tide

Baby meet me on the corner
When you hear that whistle blow
If I don’t seem like I oughta
The one you used to know

Come on baby won’t you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
How can I hold back the tide

I’m on high ground
Put this weight down
Of one thing you can be sure
On the ocean ships are sailin’
But I don’t need them anymore

Come on baby won’t you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
How can I hold back the tide

Come on baby won’t you save me
Turn this water into wine
Love, emotion, like an ocean
Turn this water into wine

Somebody tell meWhere did I go wrong
Oh, what a fool am I
Sometimes
You can feel you don’t belong
Wanna die

Way down
I’ve been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise

Somebody tell me
That you understand
Oh that I’m not alone
Sometimes
When you need a helpin? hand
Oh I know

Way down
I’ve been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I see a light
Way down

Way down
I?ve been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
Oh but now I realise

Way down
I?ve been all the way
And I know the reason why
Way down
Is the price I paid
I don’t wanna go no more
Way down

Well, its the last call at the fag end
Of the wrong bar at the bad end
Of the wrong side of a dog town
On a one way road that takes you down
From a shit creek, and back again
The doors swing open and they all come in
From the arse end of a sick world
A bus load of Yakuza girls

Yakuza girls, chicks of doom
Fanning out to cover the room
Smokin’ Luckys, climbin the bar
Drinkin’ saki from an old fruit jar

Yakuza girls, 12 o’clock high
Fishnets all the way to Hawaii
Playin’ karioke and singin’ along
With the key words of a lock’n’loll song

Well, ya get to see ’em all comin’ through this place
Every household name then forgotten face
Every fucked up, low down, pin tucked, rewound
Siliconed, pillsucker has been that ever found
Jesus in the bottom of a bottle, Yeah
I reckon I’d seen it all, but I swear
I never seen this much potential romance since
Lovelace Watkins split his pants

Yakuza girls, climbin’ the walls
Chewin’ on gum, grabbin’ my balls
And tellin’ me to cough, seein’ how far
They can pole dance off the end of the bar

Yakuza girls, doin’ the dog
With a yo-yo in and outa the bog
Who’s that haulin’ on a rubber glove
Yakuza girls, lookin’ for love.
