town with no cheer - scarlett johansson lyrics

well it’s hotter ‘n blazes
and all the long faces
there’ll be no oasis
for a dry local grazier
there’ll be no refreshment
for a thirsty jackaroo
from melbourne to adelaide
on the overlander
with newfangled buffet cars
and faster locomotives
the train stopped
in serviceton
less and less often
there’s nothing sadder
than a town with no cheer
voc rail decided the canteen
was no longer necessary there
no spirits
no bilgewater
and 80 dry locals
and the high noon sun
beats a hundred and four
there’s a hummingbird
trapped in a closed
down shoe store

this tiny victorian rhubarb
kept the watering hole open
for sixty five years
now it’s boilin’
in a miserable march 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket
of patterson’s curse
the train smokes
down the xylophone
there’ll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty
n a town with no cheer
no bourbon, no branchwater
though the townspeople here
fought her vic rail
decree tooth and nail
now it’s boilin’
in a miserable march 21 st
wrapped the hills
in a blanket of patterson’s curse
the train smokes
down the xylophone
there’ll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty
in a town with no cheer
