Taipan He'll get you when he can |
|
Ooh He'll get you when he can |
|
Makes his home in a mangrove tree |
|
Sleep plantation family |
|
White man planter, |
|
Bundaberg rum |
|
Childhood rattle, trumpet and drum |
|
Stay with me |
|
Stay with me, oh yeah |
|
Until the morning comes |
|
Taipan He'll get you when he can |
|
Ooh He'll get you when he can |
|
These days, |
|
I can't explain |
|
But I can smell the monsoon rain |
|
Seasons come, and seasons turn |
|
More and more, canefields burning |
|
Early in the morning, the afternoon |
|
Pathways blazed in a mangrove moon |
|
Burning down my eyes (Railroad goes, Kalamia mill If the heat don't get you, Taipan will Six o'clock, the whistle sings C.S.R. is the sugar-cane king) |
|
Stay with me |
|
Stay with me |
|
Taipan He'll get you when he can |
|
Ooh He'll get you when he can |
