Adult Contemporary

Look at me
I’m a much maturer man
Than what I used to be
I’ve had losses on my way
And I’ve had victories
And I’ve found comfort
In adult contemporary
Wait and see
When you reach certain age
You will be just like me
You won’t be hiding anymore
And finally
You’ll be free
Adult contemporary
Look and see
At the raves and at the rock shows
There’s no sign of me
The only festivals I go to
Are at wineries
With good amenities
Musically
I haven’t had a new experience
Since ninety-four
The only songs I wanna her
Are ones I’ve heard before
I don’t need no more
I’m driving to Bunnings
With my favourite sounds
The stereo’s up
And the windows are down
Yes I’m down
With the music of the man
Who knows what life’s about
It’s not about being cool
It’s about keeping warm
Adult contemporary

DILF
04:11
|

The search is done
You've fought and you have won
You've jostled hard
And now you've got the prize
It's your day
You've caught the great bouquet
Now here am
Before your very eyes
I'm handy round the house
I'll tear then repair your blouse
You've found yourself a DILF
DILF
My youth is passed
My experience is vast
I'm sensitive
But solid as a rock
I always replace lids
I'm incredible with kids
I know just how to
Clean and oil a wok
I'll love you all night long
And in the morning I'll change the linen
You've found yourself a DILF
DILF
D
Does things
I
Is into you
L
Longterm
F
The man you'd like to father your child
DILF
The women at the park
They circle me like sharks
The can tell a real man from a mile
Anyone can see
The way they look at me
As I pack the car and buckle in my child
They all want a piece of it
Because i've proved I can commit
But you can relax
Secure in your tracky dacks
You snagged yourself a DILF
DILF
They're lookin' at a DILF
DILF
D
Is for our destiny
I
For the love I have for you
L
For the love I have for you
F
For the love I have for you

I went to a gay bar to pick up a fag hag
I went to a gay bar to pick up a fag hag
I went to a gay bar to pick up a fag hag
That’s how your mum and me met
She wanted a gay man
And I was the closest that she could get
That’s how your mum and me met
All the boys there were so well groomed
All the boys there were so well groomed
I was the worst looking one in the room
That’s how your mum and me met
She wanted a gay man
And I was the closest that she could get
Your mum likes cock but she likes men that like cock
But cos they can’t let her like men who like cock
She had to go with a no cock man
Your mum likes cock but she likes men that like cock
But cos they can’t let her like men who like cock
She had to go with a no cock man
I went to a gay bar to pick up a fag hag

One More Annoying Couple
02:38
|
|||
Dearly beloved
We’re here to witness
A beautiful union
Look at the lovers
They’re in a bubble
Staring into each other’s eyes
He is s great bloke
She is a legend
I think I’m qualified to say
That there’s
One more annoying couple in the world
Tonight
One more annoying couple
Make the rest of us feel shite
Alright
Soon they’re be wearing
Matching Birkenstocks
Talking ‘bout their new dog-slash-child
Backing each other’s
Stupid opinions
We liked this
We didn’t like that
Their love is an eagle
Soaring above us
Pooing wherever it wants
One more annoying couple
One more annoying couple in the world
Tonight
One more annoying couple
Who think they’ve seen the light
Get ‘em out of my sight
Maybe it’s time I got out of the priest game

BAS Time
05:00
|
|||
Everybody say yeah!
Put your hands in the air!
It’s BAS time!
It’s BAS time!
Hitting that ass like a superstar
Cruising round the city in a Jaguar
You’re ten percent poorer than you think you are yeah
It’s BAS time!
It’s BAS time!
The tax man wants you to be part of his crew
It’s too good to be true
Working it out with your pens and erasers
On a quarterly basis
It’s BAS time!
It’s a good thing
And it never ends
In only three months
You get to do it again
Divide everything
That you spend by ten
Oh yeah
Listen up
We’re gonna talk about a different number now
A lot curvier
A lot slidier
A lot rounder
Sweet point nine
Look at its curves
Sweet sweet point nine
It’s like a skinny man with a big head
Looking at a rock
Oh yeah
Take me there
Sweet point nine
All this dividing
When we should be
Multiplying
By sweet point nine
Sweet point nine
Let’s use the X sign
Instead of the
Dots with the line
Oh take me there
Let’s have fun
Let’s get really really accurate baby
Point nine one
Recurring
Recurring
One one one
Keep it recurring
Take me closer
To infinity
Closer
Closer
Take me closer
Take me closer
Take me closer
Take me closer
Raise all your invoices!
Shout out with your out voices
B-A-S!
B-A-S!
B-A-S!
B-A-S!
B-A-S!

The Blueprint
03:47
|
|||
Almost done
Working on
A blueprint
Action plan
You and me
Pin it up
On the wall
The blueprint
It’s time we began
You and me
We’ll buy a little house together
In the inner city
Have a baby
And we’ll
Close the local pubs down
Close the local pubs down
And then we’ll buy a four-wheel drive
And clog up all the cafes
With our massive prams
See I’ve drawn
Look here on
The Blueprint
See that’s you
Jogging
With your iPod Nano
Your favourite playlist
Of Aussie rock bands
While you
Close the local pubs down
Close the local pubs down
I’ve worked it out
It’s all prepared
The life we’ll have
When we are wed
I’ve made a diorama
Tiny papa tiny mama
Tiny thirty dollar mains
On all the menus
And tiny scale model
Licensing restrictions
In all the live venues
Me and you
Let’s move to
Where the music is
And stop it

Climate Change
04:25
|
|||
I'm not sure that I will be very well-suited
To the new post-climate-change society
It bothers me
I'm not sure that I have the tools to deal
With the complete collapse of the modern world
I'd be rooted
I burn easily
And my feet get sore when I walk barefoot
It's pathetic
I'd last two seconds
I'm not sure that I'd
Have a chance in a half-drowned
Post-technological world
I'm not sure that I know enough about bush tucker
Or how to get water from cactuses
Aren't they prickly or something?
I've got no indigenous friends
And I'm sure they'd get suss
If I tried to buddy up to them at this late stage
They'd be onto me
I get bored quickly
If I couldn't stare at a screen all day
I'd have no purpose
I'd be a vegetable
I'm not sure that I'd
Have a chance in a DIY
Make-your-own-fun world
Even allowing for the possibility
That it might not be exactly like Mad Max
You can be sure that there'd still be a healthy amount
Of fighting marauders off
And I'm not much good
At fighting marauders off
I learnt this at my year twelve formal
I'm not sure that I have the upper body strength
To cope with all the rowing in an ocean-based world
I'd be completely at sea
And my wordsmithery
Would fall on deaf ears
With the people with hats made of sheep skulls
Then they'd kill me
I'm not sure that there'd
Be a place for a fey bookish technophile
In a physically challenging
Nomadic foraging siphoning dot-painting
Oral tradition world

Lingering dad
Half in the doorway
Lingering dad
Awkward and indecisive
Lingering dad
You're just standing there
And I'm doing my homework
You're freaking me out
Lingering dad
Do you have something to say?
Either come in or go away!
Lingering dad
Just do something!
Lingering dad
Clean up the garage I don't care!
Lingering dad
You always just hover
I think it's mum's fault
She's so decisive
Lingering dad
You're an example
Of everything sad
About men's role in society!
Lingering dad
You don't know what your role is
Lingering dad
Piss off!
Lingering dad
You're freaking me out
You're freaking me out
Lingering dad
Lingering dad
You're freaking me out
You're freaking me out

Lingering dad
You're freaking me out
You're freaking me out

I may not have
The skin of that
Iglesias boy
The kind of eyes
That light the sky
The symmetry
The colouring
The poise and the posture
I may not be so pretty
But I am beautiful
I am beautiful

With All of My Riches
01:52
|
|||
With all of my riches
And all of my fame
I’d throw it all away tomorrow
Sacrifice it all
Just to be
Slightly richer
And a little bit more famous
With all my achievements
And all that I’ve got
I’d leave all all behind tomorrow
I’d just walk away
Just to have
One huge hit single
I’d leave it all behind
To be massive
I’d walk out the door
I’d just say “No more.”
Close this chapter of my life
For a better one
