Текст песни Selling Drugs, Corner King St and Flinders Lane - TISM

King Street and Flinders
King Street and Flinders Lane
King Street and Flinders Lane

Selling drugs, there's lots of waiting
For custom or supply
Watching subtle signs emerging
Like a captain does the sky
Flinders Lane for 15 hours
I scan each passerby
99 ignore or glower
One looks me in the eye

What I sell him is verboten
To those of you on land
At sea, too, our laws get broken
Though different things are banned
The two ways of living equal
In dullness or defeat
I ain't happy 'cept when speeding
Might move to Flinders Street

There used to be more business east
And south-west of Degraves Street
Then came all the cafes, chic
Like ships of an enemy fleet
There is a spot in Batman Park
The jacks can't find you in the dark
The silence, there, between the hiss
Of traffic noise, is like a kiss

King Street and Flinders
King Street and Flinders Lane
King Street and Flinders Lane

Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder

Sometimes I sit and watch alone
The Westgate traffic heading home
Tail lights joining in a flood
Like opiates dissolve in blood
The dirty Yarra seaward slops
I wonder why it never stops
I'd jump into that water cold
If it weren't so brown and old

Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
Poverty or plunder
