Gearstick Cabaret

from Head in the Sand by Muddy Suzuki

/

lyrics

As the car pulls up
the driver stares at the passenger and all his wares.
Open up the door and seatbelt tight,
hoping he'll get lucky for the night.
"Down and gimme fifty, boy" he'll say,
'cause he's in the Gearstick Cabaret.
Probably won't make much sense to you.
Don't know when where why how what who.

Get your filthy hands off my pyjamas.
Makes me want to spit (like llamas).
See what happens when you invade my space.
I'll just throw it back in your face.

Once I couldn't wait to hear the sound of a twelve inch vinyl spinning round.
Now I find I've got too much to say about the way they make them all today.
Cynicism fits just like a glove when the songs aren't made with any love
and the money's all the writers see (directly from your purse to me).

Shmoozing for a bruising.
Social climber.
Stop the system using cyder.
Fingers off that button.
Friendly fire.
Lambchop dressed as mutton.
Liar.

Essay - SOS - Mayday - Emptiness - Headache - Effervesce
Dog leg to the right - Grounded every night
Lizard lobbyist - Chronic Onanist - Plastic maverick - Gearstick (caba)cabaret

Is the reason why I make this noise drawing your attention from your toys?
If it doesn't work why should I care?
Maybe there's really nothing there.

Nonsense words and nonsense tunes.
Four candles.
Nothing worth listening to.
Love handles.
Auto-wah guitar buffoons wear sandals.
