Текст песни Man About a Dog - The Whitlams feat. Black Stump

I had to go into the hills and see a man about a dog
"Get here before the sun goes down"
And so I get into the truck and turn a right at Friday Hut
I'll come home around the town

The rain it slapped the land from sleep, it was green within a week
Two birds escort me in
The world turning on the flash of a wing

And the worse that it was the better it will be
You held onto the tail and that's a victory

All this talk of how to be happy
And I'm off to see a man about a dog
And when I get up to the shack first night I hear the Big Old Cat rumbling out at sea
Yeah "come on take the turn to land, not just a light show and a band, it's the soaking we need"
The farmer dreams of cattle fed, tonight he's working from his bed
On the roof the heavy drops that'll break the Silence of the Frogs

And the worse that it was the better it will be
You held onto the tail and that's a victory

All this talk of how to be happy
And not a little content
Naught 'til '21's not a pity
When I'm off to see a man about a dog

Old farmer limping down the lane, his medal-winner's out again and he waves at me
And through the wonder of it all, put on Neil Young at Massey Hall '72 or 3
Yeah and it's dark when I get home, and I feel something coming on
Blindfold, and Arvo Pärt
I'm taking everyone on that drive I swear

All this talk of how to be happy
And not a little content
I used to love the Greek women
Now I love Greek men
I'm a Stoic in the morning
Out the city gate before long
I want no part of the new age dawning
'Cause I'm off to see a man, off to see a man
I'm off to see a man about a dog

I'm taking everyone on that drive, I swear
