Redgum Yarralumla Wine lyrics

See those Guccis and silver Commodores
See those Guccis and silver Commodores
Sold my soul to the CES, they sent my cheque to the wrong address
Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine

A fruit bouquet like month-old socks
Gerrymander winner at the ballot box
Toast to democracy, raise your glass
They're all too pissed to notice us.
Table a flagon - senate debate
Canberra breeds only sour grapes
Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine

A tax dodge accountant is a businessman's best friend
A tax dodge accountant is a businessman's best friend
Gas bill came - I can't pay
Utah made a million bucks today
Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine

King William Street's looking Wall Street could
Business not booming but it's pretty good
Employment forecast - deja vu
Twenty percent for 1982

Chaos in the kitchen, it's a crying shame

The waiter's in a stupor and the cook's insane
Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine

All the boys and girls are taking out Bankcards
And contemplating Space Invaders in pizza bars
My television screen's an alcoholic haze
The Sullivans and reruns of Happy Days
Scan the morning over stale Weetbix
"Sex Change Vicar Vice Horror - Shock Pix"
Murdoch and Packer, thanks for the news
Read three pages and you feel half-boozed
Force-fed years with a loving cup
One more swig and I'll throw up
Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine

Puff a Galois, entree Pate de fois
Streamline the company with a Schaeffer pen
Fifty jobs lost - pissed again
They're drinking on the bridge and in the swimming pools
We're stoking the boiler on the ship of fools
Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine
