Letra de Backwaters - Drenge

Sun's so high, waterhole's dry,
I wanna give up but I don't know why,
Sun's so hot that meat cooks in the shade.

Saw a lamb and it was chocking on death,
It's mother kicked and broken it's neck,
I 'ain't ever seen blood and milk mix so divine,
I never such beauty so malign.

Brother said bourbon never done me good,
Neither did a face full of campfire soot,
Them burning alport coals sting like a bitch.

I catch a lift on the last bus home,
To the end of the line for the coppers I own,

I get thrown off, hit on, beat up before I drown,
In the murky backwaters I lay my body down.

Fifty stars above my head
And thirteen scars run through my chest,
Blue and red blood fuck up my veins.

Blackened eyes and purple nose,
I got missing teeth, got a lot of those.
Marygold you never done me no harm.
Marygold in debt to you,
Don't ever wanna say the things I've thought of you.
Marygold I wrote you a love song.
