Cm Ab Eb Bb x4 Cm | Bb(I) | Ab | Eb/Bb Bb5 Eb/Bb | x2 The first time I thought something's wrong It was just your attitude The feelings you bared The white wine that we shared You were talking rude About whoever wasn't there You'd run out of platitudes It seems to me you're an expert On diss-functionality No wonder why You're always right About whatever anyone done wrong Who the hell are you to judge? All your wisdom is fudged Just the Milkman's wife Like being at the centre of strife

Spent thirty days in a box in the warehouse But didn't get her tattoo from there Mostly deflated and hidden from the spouse And only comes out when she isn't there Does Angry Anderson's sexdoll have a Southern Cross tattoo and where? Maybe it's down above her ankle Or ever so subtly behind her knee Discretely below the line, under her navel Or on her shoulder where people can see Does Angry Anderson's sexdoll have a Southern Cross tattoo and where? [bridge] Maybe it's on the back of her shoulder Or maybe up against her heart Or maybe she'll get one when she's older On a trip to watch the Ashes in the Old Dart She's got a tattoo, all of the dolls have Says "Made in China" on top of their head So whether you're Aussie, Jap or Slav There's no nationalism in bed Does Angry Anderson's sexdoll have a Southern Cross tattoo and where?

Every time you turn on the tee-vee all you see is your enemy their shiny botoxed faces hide their utter contempt for you pushing insurance like it's a drug some aging model smiles a hug while granddad calls one-eight-hundred for a limited offer too oooooooooooooh let's turn on the tee-vee (x4) [the tv knows you so well with all the products they sell they tell you what you need you don't even need to think] wanna have some fun? go get your daddy's gun we'll start our own live-to-air show just for two wanna have some fun? we'll do what Elvis done we'll turn on the tee-vee & unload our twenty-twos so many products that they sell not all are on the screen, oh well your old folks are the goods for sale at a bargain price it's true surveyed by top class management hunters of talent, collectors of rent their minds are stuck with the strongest of glue oooooooooooooh let's turn on the tee-vee (x4) [the tv knows you so well with all the products they sell they tell you what you need you don't even need to think] [it's time the TV went, it won't be too well missed next time it turns you off won't you turn on it with an iron fist]

You've got all the applicable experience but your boss is very shifty And a second job at night driving rickshaws, scrubbing pans Your household budget is hand to mouth, there's just no future plans And there but for the grace of the gods goes you, your family and mine Would you like to consider, once again, your most very recent whine? Look there's nothing wrong with money, it can afford you lots of things Latest gadgets, cars, a home, good schools and your lady's diamond rings But we're all ducks on the same pond bobbing up and down to the ripples And yet you look down on the poor like they're a bunch of fucking cripples "You gotta ride your luck, get what you can" you so ever proudly say And go on right through your life like you will never rue the day I'm rich in ways, you're poor in ways that those with less can't appreciate But get this you greedy cunt: you're making society disintegrate You don't know or don't care, too busy to see past your own horizon If you could see the smiles that live in poverty you'd get a real surprise an' Come to understand that those with less are mostly just like you Except it's you who's poor and withered and who's heart is broken too Look, I'm not here to save the world, the whales or even the neglected I'm cursed with a sense of fairness, the down-trodden should be protected There's more wealth in all the world, with all its wonders and its gold More food than we could ever eat, no need for stale or old So next time you flap your wings and take flight from the big duck pond Mind the ripples that you make and the other ducks won't feel conned

about

From busted thongs made new with metal ties
Flexi-concrete fence topped with broken glass spires:
Manipulating mamma, blow her up and watch the midday news
The same monsters at it again
It's how it its - it's the law, it's the fuse
All will be revealed
We got what we got, we got it all:
A sewerside squat

Tentatively titled "Almost Like a Song" in a nod to Custard that we don't deserve to make, Sewerside Squat is a compilation of some songs by Go Back Wrong Wayne that more resemble your traditional verse/chorus structure.

The album opens with perhaps the first song written by GBWW that exists in a currently accessible audio format.

The takes are one off and barely rehearsed. The mixes made on the run and under budget.

So, squat down by the oily, sun-baked mud, try not to disturb it and you'll catch the shiny shimmer of purple and green.
