Combat boots on Davey's feet He shuffles past in the heat Here the drought is layers deep No rain no money no food no sleep Running dry on Smith Street A desperate call for anything at all And there's payments to be made Hole in the wall and no withdrawal And call the bank displayed No one but myself to blame Says Davey "I'm in trouble!" Oh well the well is dry Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra-ly Oh well it's back I go Through the gates of hell Lying in the heat again Waiting for the change And on the TV fighter planes Every channel's just the same He packs his bags and leaves by the lane Chinatown and still no rain Davey tries to call again Line engaged try another Davey's talking to his brother "Tell Mum I'm coming home Home again home" The waves of Bass Straight make you sick And then you see King's rocky cliffs And then the mountains in the mist Oh what a sight is this! Is it sea spray or is it rain? Or tears on Davey's cheek?
