lyrics

I hear that they’re selling
The old place by the river
I hear that old cottage is goin’
If it weren’t for the weeds
Growing up like trees
My honey I’d buy you a home

My honey, oh my honey
My honey, oh my honey
My honey I’d buy you a home

Well the strip club is open on one side
Centrelink is next door I know
But with that esplanade view
Of the river so blue
My honey I’d buy you a home

My honey, oh my honey…

If it weren’t for my spoilt generation
Too unbridle, entitled
To save for the loan
If they put an embargo
On smashed avocado
My honey I’d buy you a home

If it weren’t for the roof
Gutted by fire
If it weren’t for the soot on the stone
If it weren’t for the walls
With all the scrawled cocks and balls
My honey I’d buy you a home

My honey, oh my honey…
