I think I hear the sounds of then, and people talking
B5 E5 D5
The scenes recalled by minute movement
B5 E5 D5
And songs they fall from the backing tape
B5 E5 D5
That certain texture, that certain smell
To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
E5 B5
Brings home the heavy days
B5 D5 E5
Brings home the night time swell
B5 D5 E5 G5
Out on the patio we'd sit
B5 D5 E5 G5
And the humidity we'd breathe
B5 D5 E5 G5
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
B5 D5 E5 G5 B5
Laugh and think, this is Australia.
The block is awkward, it faces West
With long diagonals, sloping too
And in the distance, through the heat haze
In convoys of silence the cattle graze
That certain texture, that certain beat
Brings forth the night time heat
B5 D5 E5 G5
Out on the patio we'd sit
B5 D5 E5 G5
And the humidity we'd breathe
B5 D5 E5 G5
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
A5 A5 B5
Laugh and think that this is Australia.

Laugh and think, this is Australia
This is Australia
This is Australia
