This one's for you Rick and rollo.... And Rosie and John....
[Verse]
Rollo sits on the porch
Rosie by his side
Her ears perk up to the whispering tide
Rick rolls through with a mower and a grin
Cutting grass
Gum trees
The sunlight sinking in
[Chorus]
Through the bottom of a bottle
Goon bags drain
Powdered sugar dreams
A sweet line of cocaine
The '80s linger
Like smoke in the sky
John Laws crackled
A voice you can’t deny
[Verse 2]
Rosie barks at the magpies in the yard
Rollo chuckles
His hands wrapping around a bottle again
Rick talks footy
The weekend's game
But the past keeps calling
Whispering his name
[Prechorus]
Finest China White on the mind
Powder trails that never mind
[Chorus]
Through the bottom of a bottle
Goonbags drain
Powdered sugar dreams
A sweet line of cocain
The '80s linger
Like smoke in the sky
John Laws crackled
A voice you can’t deny
[Bridge]
Golden tonsils on the AM air
Calling in
Like confession
Bare
"Rollo from just outside the rail yard
" he'd say with pride
A voice lost now to the ebbing tide
