I think I hear the Bmsounds of then, Eand people Dtalking
The Bmscenes recalled Eby minute Dmovement
And Bmsongs they fall Efrom the Dbacking tape
That Bmcertain texture, Ethat certain Dsmell
To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
EBrings home the Bmheavy days
BmBrings home the Dnight time Eswell
BmOut on the DpatioE we'd Gsit
BmAnd the huDmidityE we'd Gbreathe
BmWe'd watch the DlightningE crack over Gcane fields
BmLaugh and Dthink,E this is GAustraliBma.
The block is awkward, it faces West
With long diagonals, sloping too
And in the distance, through the heat haze
In convoys of silence the cattle graze
That certain texture, that certain beat
Brings forth the night time heat
BmOut on the DpatioE we'd Gsit
BmAnd the huDmidityE we'd Gbreathe
BmWe'd watch the DlightningE crack over Gcane fields
Asus4Laugh and think that Athis is AustraliBma.

To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
Brings forth the heavy days
Brings forth the night time swell
(x2):
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Laugh and think, this is Australia
This is Australia
This is Australia
This is Australia
