Australia Lyrics


I could do the dishes while talking on the phone
i could ask you for an answer but you want to be alone
I can never do the dishes a single dish at a time
It's too much of a commitment so I line them up and fire
I could calamine your insides
I could wind them all around me I could
tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see
all the people do they see me I can wave or
I can carry all the dishes that would crush them that are
Keeping me steady
Or I could go to Australia
And carry a bowie knife
and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
And learn card tricks and buy
Everyone drinks and take boxing and write
songs about my bowie knife

I could do these dishes I could try
To do these dishes
Time to decide
I could bake a cake
My kitchen is small but I could clear the space
I could write my name
Cos practice makes perfect yes that's what they say
I could rearrange my room and draw a bath and wash my wolf suit
I could make a button out of plaster
That said finished I could nail it in my closet
To the left side of the lightswitch
I could go out to a restaurant and try drinking to forget it
and then come home less afraid and then press it and press it
Or I could go to Australia
carry a bowie knife
and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
And learn card tricks and buy
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
Eating things only with chopsticks and write
songs about my bowie knife
I could do these dishes I could try
To do these dishes
I could decide to do these dishes
Time to decide
or i could go to Australia
And carry a bowie knife
and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
and learn card tricks and physics and buy
everyone drinks and take boxing and try
eating things only with chopsticks and finally
be like a person I think you might like
I could do these dishes
I could try to do these dishes.
I could decide to do these dishes
I should decide to do these dishes
Time to DECIDE....
Fuck it
I'm gonna go to Australia
I'm gonna go to Australia
I'm gonna go to Australia
I'm gonna go to Australia (shes gonna go to Australia)
Bye-bye

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jay Hoad is an acclaimed songwriter and performer and also fronts an extremely high energy six piece band... with a beautiful belly dancer. Hoad’s creative compositions blend funk, rock, reggae, latin, pop and jazz with traditional Australian influences punctuated by dynamic horn infused arrangements and unique blends of instrumentation. Jay plays up to 15 instruments throughout his shows including acoustic bass, electric bass, didjeridoo, dobro, lap steel guitar, 12-string guitar, ocarina and more.

Jay originally hails from South Australia where he earned a university degree in jazz performance on the acoustic and electric bass. Hoad left Australia in 2004 to tour the US and Europe with the Australian Jazz Quartet and has since performed with Dionne Warwick, the Temptations, the Drifters, Blood Sweat & Tears among others. In 2007 Jay temporarily settled in the United States to concentrate on performing and touring with his newly formed group, the Jay Hoad Band.

The Jay Hoad Band recently released their much anticipated multi-genre debut album "Warmth in the White" which was conceived and written while on tour in Australia and recorded in the US in early 2008. Hoad’s composition "Rat Race" received recent acclimation in the Australian Songwriter’s Association competition. Song lyrics, although delivered in a fun and exciting manner, focus on many controversial subjects including environmental issues, political contradiction and many other random observations culled from his world travels.

Jay is currently again touring worldwide, this time refining his acclaimed solo show while he readies a follow up album of new compositions with release expected in early 2011. Read more on Last.fm.
