[Verse 1]
I think I hear
the sounds of
then, and p
eople talking
The scenes rec
alled by min
ute movement
And songs they
fall from t
he backing tap
e
That certain t
exture, that
certain smell
[Verse 2]
To lie in s
weat, on fam
iliar sheets
In brick ven
eer on finance
d beds
In a room
of silent hard
iflex
That certain t
exture, that
certain smell
[Bridge]
That brings h
ome the heavy
days
Brings home
the night time
swell
[Chorus]
Out on the pat
io we'd sit
And the humidi
ty we'd brea
the
We'd watch the
lightning cr
ack over cane
fields
Laugh and th
ink, this is
Australia.

[Verse 3]
The block is
awkward, it
faces West
Long diagona
ls, and slopin
g too
And in the d
istance, thr
ough the heat
haze
In convoys o
f silence the
cattle graze
[Bridge]
That certain
texture, that
certain beat
Brings forth
the night tim
e heat, chi-co
w
[Chorus]
Out on the pat
io we'd sit
And the humidi
ty we'd brea
the
We'd watch the
lightning c
rack over cane
fields
Laugh and thin
k that this is
Australia.
