Lyrics The Whitlams

The Whitlams

Blow Up The Pokies

" There was the stage

Two red lights and a dodgy P.A

You trod the planks way back then

And it's strange that you're

Here again - here again "

" And I wish , I wish I knew the right words

to make you feel better

Walk out of this place

Defeat them in your secret battle

Show them you can be your own man again "

" Don't, don't explain

Lots of little victories take on the pain

It takes so long to earn

You can double up or

You can burn - You can burn "

" And I wish, I wish I knew the right words

To make you feel better

Walk out of this place

Defeat them in your secret battle

Show them you can be your own man again "

" And I wish, I wish I knew the right words

To blow up the Pokies and

Drag them away

'Cause they're taking the food off your table

So they can say that the trains run on time "

" Flashing lights - It's a real show

And your wife - I wouldn't go home

The little bundles need care

And you can't be a father there

Father there "

" And I wish, I wish I knew the right words

To blow up the Pokies and

Drag them away

'Cause they're taking the food off your table

So they can say that the trains run on time "
