Lyrics
Reckless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
All the others reading, standing
As the manly ferry cuts its way to circular quay
Hear the captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy way to start the day
Bridge
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
Chorus
So throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down guns
Don't be so
Feel like scott of the antarctic
Base camp too far away
A russian sub beneath the artic
Burke and wills and camels
Initials in the tree
Bridge
Chorus
Instrumental
