Blow Up The Pokies by Whitlams
Artist: Whitlams
Album: Love This City
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
Verse:
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
There was this stage, two red lights and a dodgy PA
Defeat them in your secret battle
You trod the planks way back then
Show them you can be your own man again
and its strange that you are here again, here again
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
Chorus:
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
And i wish i could shine you the right words
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
to make you feel better
So they can say that the trains run on time
walk out of this place
and defeat them in your secret battle
show them you can be your own man again
Verse:
Don't, Don't explain
lots of little victorys take all the pain
It takes so long to earn
you can double up or you can burn, you can burn
Chorus:
And i wish i could shine you the right words
to make you feel better
walk out of this place
and defeat them in your secret battle
show them you can be your own man again
And i wish i could shine you the right words
to blow up the pokies and drag them away
cause there taking the food off your table
so they can say that the trains run on time
Verse:
Flashing lights, its a real show
and your wife, i wouldnt go home
little bundles need care
and you cant be a father there
father there
Chorus:
And i wish i could shine you the right words
to make you feel better
walk out of this place
and defeat them in your secret battle
show them you can be your own man again
show them you can be your own man again
And i wish i could shine you the right words
to blow up the pokies and drag them away
cause there taking the food off the table
so they can say that the trains run on time
another man there was made the trains ran on time
