My best go at the lyrics. One tough as nails song. I taste the open pit on my tongue, I’ve been breaking boulders older than the dark of night itself The red earth is cracked and jagged, sunburnt, blistered and ragged I’ve got the rumble of a Cummins dieselene beneath my seat and the crackle of a test match, I reach for the volume when someone takes a catch I’m salt to the earth assaulting the earth I’m often tired and I’m often drunk And I’m broken marriage hardship And I’m an abrupt end, to your misguided lip boy Your misguided lip boy My baby she’s a song, oh so pretty but just a little long She’s a long time skimpy Amphetamine skinny She’s got that great bush wit But a fucking dirty tongue Inaudible She lays down mostly In Kalgoorlie In Kalgoorlie In Kalgoorlie I guess I should have know that love wasn’t gonna treat me very well I woulda left Kalgoorlie I woulda left Kalgoorlie I taste the open pit on my tongue, I’ve been breaking boulders older than the dark of night itself The red earth is cracked and jagged, sunburnt, blistered and ragged I’ve got the rumble of a Cummins dieselene beneath my seat and the crackle of a test match, I reach for the volume when someone takes a catch I’m salt to the earth assaulting the earth I’m often tired and I’m often drunk And I’m broken marriage hardship And I’m an abrupt end to your misguided lip boy My daddy ran the questa casa When he needed any more he ran my mamma out from the city She lost her eye sight pulling him out of a bar fight She hasn’t seen a thing since 1986 She’s a type two diabetic And I bet she wishes she never came.. To Kalgoorlie.
@@toasterboy708 absolutely. Never managed to catch them Live out of all the pub shows I went to in Sydney. You need to be Australian to understand the colloquialism in the lyrics, must be why they never were bigger than I hoped. Ah well. Fuck it I still listen to them a lot. I don’t wanna be a fucken Christmas ham 😆

Yep, 3 years here and thats how i feel in Kalgoorlie.
My best go at the lyrics. One tough as nails song.
I taste the open pit on my tongue,
I’ve been breaking boulders older than the dark of night itself
The red earth is cracked and jagged, sunburnt, blistered and ragged
I’ve got the rumble of a Cummins dieselene beneath my seat and the crackle of a test match, I reach for the volume when someone takes a catch
I’m salt to the earth
assaulting the earth
I’m often tired and I’m often drunk
And I’m broken marriage hardship
And I’m an abrupt end,
to your misguided lip boy
Your misguided lip boy
My baby she’s a song, oh so pretty but just a little long
She’s a long time skimpy
Amphetamine skinny
She’s got that great bush wit
But a fucking dirty tongue
Inaudible
She lays down mostly
In Kalgoorlie
In Kalgoorlie
In Kalgoorlie
I guess I should have know that love wasn’t gonna treat me very well
I woulda left Kalgoorlie
I woulda left Kalgoorlie
I taste the open pit on my tongue,
I’ve been breaking boulders older than the dark of night itself
The red earth is cracked and jagged, sunburnt, blistered and ragged
I’ve got the rumble of a Cummins dieselene beneath my seat and the crackle of a test match, I reach for the volume when someone takes a catch
I’m salt to the earth
assaulting the earth
I’m often tired and I’m often drunk
And I’m broken marriage hardship
And I’m an abrupt end to your misguided lip boy
My daddy ran the questa casa
When he needed any more he ran my mamma out from the city
She lost her eye sight pulling him out of a bar fight
She hasn’t seen a thing since 1986
She’s a type two diabetic
And I bet she wishes she never came..
To Kalgoorlie.
None of their lyrics are out there... Been looking for Ray Guns for years...
@@toasterboy708 there sure isn’t. More the reason to keep listening. Such a sick aussie band
@@Bigfhoot I fuckin' love em mate. Honestly, Joy is in my top 20 Albums of all time. Its criminal how unknown and under rated they are.

@@Bigfhoot saw their farewell at the Forum a couple of years back. Can only hope they might do a little get together one day.
