lirik lagu one more day – the slingers
[verse 1]
flies buzz around the homemade irrigation
the labels on the bottles sag in condensation
can hear the crunch of tyres on the backyard gravel
mmm, sister leans on grandpa’s shovel
and the heat twists the air like crinkled cellophane
and it shimmers too, like spilt kerosene ’round the driveway drain
one more day
brother, one more day
[verse 2]
you can still see the cricket on the tv from the back verandah
so the men stand around like headless agapanthus
but you watch the rosellas people a perfect sky
and you feel perfect too, but you can’t say why
now dave wears long sleeves
to cover up the track marks on his arms, just in case
ah, but he can’t hide what’s written
in the rings and the lines of his face
but i ain’t never seen the sun set through the gums like that before
and would it really matter if it was the last thing you ever saw?
[chorus]
one more day
one more day, one more hour
as the sun dips behind the telstra tower
so, think of all the things that you would say (one more day)
with one more day
[verse 3]
coils burning in the pool*side patio
brother, we got skyhooks on the wireless radio
there’s this picture of dad and grandpa and myself
rosary beads and candles burning on the cluttered shelf
now, grandpa did it in one august night with a sawn*off shotgun beneath my breath now, don’t ask me where he f*ckin’ got one
now dave comes in ragged, he’s been ’round the bend
and he’s all wigged out, he’s going off at mum again
mum just stands there and takes it, like the backyard jacaranda
like sisyphus, like a sun*burned agapanthus
[chorus]
one more day, one more hour
one more petal falls from the back verandah flower
maybe then i’d find the words to say (one more day)
but i’d probably just p*ss it all away (one more day)
i’d lie awake a lifetime in your arms (not fade away)
and i’d never do no one any harm
[outro]
one more day
one more day
one more day
just fade away
i fade away
one more day (ah, give me one more day)
one more day (ah, give me one more day)
