It's Not '74 Anymore
Needles you left your heart on the road, still loading PA's you lugged 15 years agoThey were good times but now I've got a life, I've got a wife and I don't have the timeTo be rolling joints at 4am after loading out at the Palace or the PrinceI don't want to know how low you'll go but I know there's still work with the Australian Chisel ShowAfter the operation, I saw you side of stage at Alternative NationStill kicking my arse when the monitors squeal, reset the EQ the whole fuckin' dealPull out 2K and everything's right, I love the way you protect those mikeswhen the crowd goes wild, yeah when the crowd goes wild.Come on old buddyYou've got to get it together and save some moneyMaybe head north up the coast, buy a little rig, a vocal PA at mostGrowing buds on the green green hills, enough to smoke enough to pay the billsHey man, I couldn't love you moreBut buddy it's not '74 anymore.The Party Boys tour was like Nui Dat, halfway to Adelaide and then driving back'Cos we forgot Kevin Borich's Fender Strat, you never forgave yourself for thatBut try to heal those scars. 'Cos buddy you gave Borich your own guitarAnd needles it seems to me, there's not many left with your generosityAnd capacity for hard work.Loading W Bins up 4 flights of stairs 'cos the lift was fucked and the pub didn't careSure we had our fill of babes, they weren't too tidy but they knew how to playSongtexteAnd when it got heavy you were holding my hand, shooting up smack in the back of the vanBut I'm off that now, tomorrow I'm off that shit.Come on old buddyYou've got to get it together and save some moneyMaybe head north up the coast, buy a little rig, a vocal PA at mostGrowing buds on the green green hills, enough to smoke enough to pay the billsHey man, I couldn't love you moreBut buddy it's not '74 anymore.It's not '74, it's not '74 AnymoreAnymoreAnymoreAnymore Aus Songtexte Mania
