*Play Riff 1. Four times before Talking starts *Play Riff 1. Eight times during Talking No conversation as you go There's so much space the heat moves you Terracotta homes, backyard barbeque and eucalyptus smell It's fine on the clothes line It's fast food and slow life and red roof My silence, comic interruptions Surely there's some relief from atomic art *These Chords are played (on a an acoustic in the album wersion) throughout Petes Rant: Am FM9 C G/B Dm Fm9 Dm G/B And the fragile state of world events With clowns who love the kings and power and the mutant media babes Wanking on dreams and fashions and toilet paper flowers Don't talk to me in this backyard - it's clandestine, it's nuclear Smell of space and now forever I wanna go Straight down the exit eight mile attraction U-turn is up and the time clock sings lets go
    Dm  F   Am   C       Dm  F   Am   C
Lucky!!     	    Country!!

	      Dm      F        Am   C	       Dm  F   Am   C
Where the geckos are paid to live in the sun

            Dm  F   Am   C      Dm  F   Am   C
(ah on) Lucky!!(on, and on)Country!!

            Dm        F     Am      C        Dm  F   Am   C
There's a ribbon of road and a mile to spare
