1. Backyard Cricket

Grab the ball and bat and I'll meet you by the clothes line
Put the burners on low the snags will be fine
put my salad in a very safe place
that Greek salads gonna taste so great
right after I score my six and out

I'm the youngest so they let me take the bat first
got a hit and run and now I'm on the burst
Uncle Colin is a very good throw 
but it's underarm for the adults though
I've gotta dive to get by, always do my best to survive

not even scoring backyard cricket
not even boring backyard cricket
everybody's joining in backyard cricket
nobody wins but everybody thinks they're awesome

I hit the taped up tennis ball along the grass
the field is slow but the Labrador's very fast
as they try to get him to drop the ball
I'm running back and forth not stopping at all
reminding them that they're yet to get me out

got a new bowler it's my brother and he's angry
he bowls it short and it bounces higher than the tree
straight into the neighbours pool
but they want to join us so it's all cool
got three slips and an automatic wickie 
got commentators just like on the tv

not even scoring backyard cricket 
not even boring backyard cricket 
everybody's joining in backyard cricket 
nobody wins but everybody thinks they're awesome

Now I've been in for a while 
and they're staring to lose their smiles
Pressure mounting they wanna get me out
then my sister catches me, one hand one bounce

not even scoring backyard cricket 
not even boring backyard cricket 
everybody's joining in backyard cricket 
nobody wins but everybody thinks they're awesome

not even scoring backyard cricket 
not even boring backyard cricket 
everybody's joining in backyard cricket 
nobody wins but everybody thinks they're awesome
nobody wins but everybody thinks they're awesome

2. Snorkeling

Sunbeams, like from a movie scene
are sparkling in a blue stream
glistening like a mirrorball
underneath it all
Sunbeams make the water glow
and the fish have colours that explode
starring at me so curious, oh the prettiness

all the fishes in the sea, dont know what they mean to me
and I wonder if I ever want to go home
all the fishes seem to be, swimming oh so free
I think I'm falling in love under the sea
I think I'm falling in love

Sunbeams sink down low
to the coral that lies below
who knows how it got there in the past
or if it's ever gonna last
Sunbeams drift on by
to the rhythm of the rippled sky
a School of you in the ocean blue
Off, Vanuatu

all the fishes in the sea, dont know what they mean to me 
and I wonder if I ever want to go home 
all the fishes seem to be, swimming oh so free 
I think I'm falling in love under the sea 
I think I'm falling in love

Sunbeams, like from a movie scene 
are sparkling in a blue stream 
glistening like a mirrorball 
underneath it all

all the fishes in the sea, dont know what they mean to me  
and I wonder if I ever want to go home  
all the fishes seem to be, swimming oh so free  
I think I'm falling in love under the sea  
I think I'm falling in love
​​​​​​​I think I'm falling in love

4. Food Truck

Bought an old truck for 50 bucks and a half drunk slab of corona
got it fixed u by my mate round the block who said man I'm coming with ya
we got the thing going and the beers were flowing, hanging out just me and my mate
we went the beach and we got a cool spot we pulled up by the shade

in our food truck
me and my mate in a food truck 
selling pancakes in a food truck
Talking to beautiful women
everything was doing fine
go surfing to pass the time

got up early as the birds were chirpy and noticed another van there
their was a man with a scare below his left eye and low curly dark hair
we ask what are you doing? He said nothing really just roasting pumpkin and potato
we said ya gonna sell em or something special? He said yeah take a look at my menu

Oh no he's got a menu,
got a fancy lights and a menu
Stealling our business with his menu
talking to beautiful women
everything was doing fine, not really not this time

So we got up in the middle of the night and we stole that fellas van
and we drove it down south to the big city lights to a quiet little town called melbourne
I was in one van my mate was in the other, we were racing and smiling at each other
we were selling pancakes just like before but then my mate his name was Richard 

Baked a potato,
selling pancakes and potatoes
making pumpkin pancakes and potatoes
talking to beautiful women
everything was doing fine, drinking coffee to pass the time

5. Just My Daughter

Hop in they car get ready to go this could be the best day of your life
play the music you want I won't judge it to harshly won't tell you if it's wrong or right

You can be free, Oh my daughter
be free, Oh my daughter
be free, Just my daughter and me

Up on the highway might for a sunday or something nice to put in our gut
I won't ask question you'll tell me what's happening when you're feeling like the timings right

You can be free, Oh my daughter 
be free, Oh my daughter 
be free, Just my daughter and me

I know that things are a bit of a mess with your mother
It's something that I'm trying to address, I hope it doesn't bother you

now we're at my place and the look on my face is as content as anyone's could be
singing songs and getting along and bonding casually

You can be free, Oh my daughter 
be free, Oh my daughter 
be free, Just my daughter and me

6. Van

There could be some criticism from that I'd expect
mostly from my parents and the guys that I work with
but they could envious, even think that I'm the man
If I ever start living in my van

Could be a legend the guy that never paid rent
could be a weirdo with more dollars than cents
could be so confined I'll have to learn how to cram
If I ever start living in my Van

big dreams, big man, big dreams.

There's thousands of ideas on Pinterest people post
of vans that look like cabins by the mountains or the coast
they make it look so homely with a customised plan
I wonder if I could live in a van

I know nothing about wood work I wouldn't know what to do
Have to buy a jigsaw a sander and router too
I wonder if I can do it without cutting off my hands
I wonder if I could live in a van

big dreams, big man, big dreams.

I wouldn't need to garden or mow down any grass
the pictures on my wall would be the scenery I'd pass
and all my neighbours would be my friends on the road
and my pets would be cane toads

oh don't you want to feel that big old lump of steel
put your foot down to the floor grip your hands on the wheel
pull up by the roadside under a tausend moving stars
and lie there with that girl in your arms

big dreams, big man, big dreams.

so you can call me a hobo call me a loof
call me a flower child or say that I'm uncouth
you can call me crazy for what I wanna do
I wanna start living in my van

You can call me a drop out or a subterranean bum
call me a dropout or lame bohemian
and I'll call you from a lonely, telephone booth
and say I've got 4 wheels and the truth

big dreams, big man, big dreams.

7. Turtle

Hello, my story is not a good one 
run away now if you have the time
It's a story of a sad departure
a story of a friend of mine, yeah
It all happened outside of my house
when the phone did ring
and a scary voice came down the line
and I said to the turtle don't worry about a thing

but the government took my turtle
took my friend away
the government took my turtle
now it's just another lonely day

do yous know anything about jail
cause thats where I think I am now
hanging out with my cell mate dale
whos laying on a bed wearing nothing but a towel
then I realised that no one was wearing belts
then I realised the food was really bad 
then I realised a shit load of nurses
then I started saying why? Why?

but the government took my turtle 
took my friend away 
the government took my turtle 
now it's just another lonely day

Then the nurse gave me an injection
and I started feeling sleepy and
my head felt like a box of jelly beans
yum yum yum yum y
then I realised, Then I realised
my turtle was a crack pipe​
my turtle was a crack pipe
my turtle was a crack pipe
my turtle was a crack pipe
continued....

the government took my turtle  
took my friend away  
the government took my turtle  
now it's just another lonely day
