lirik lagu the whitlams - the day john sattler broke his jaw
sunrise on the station, breaks the morning spell
red and green streamers flying, beside the railway view hotel
cleveland street shuffle shining, and to the mighty roar
we were walking through twilight
the day john sattler broke his jaw
living eight to a house
post~menzies land of plenty
and there was nothing left for people like us in september 1970
some worked the eveleigh railway yards
somе worked the tanneriеs on the botany shore
we didn’t work the sat~rday that john sattler broke his jaw
[chorus]
if it’s high enough
if it’s long enough
if it’s straight between the posts
drink your beer and shed no tears for these days you miss the most
every step and sill sat shining in black from door to door
and the tears roll down like reschs
the day john sattler broke his jaw
sat~rday morning on a botany road, it was mean and it was lean
rabbit k!llers in old ford falcons
stalling through a richer man’s dream
by afternoon we were jammed tight inside the hotel doors
even the tab was empty
the day john sattler broke his jaw
[chorus]
if it’s high enough
if it’s long enough
if it’s straight between the posts
drink your beer and shed no tears for these days you miss the most
every step and sill sat shining in black from door to door
and the tears roll down like reschs
the day john sattler broke his jaw
now in the ladies lounge, a young girl rocks a pram
an old guy downs a flag ale, with the ghost of dave sands
clotheslines are flying high, the sun is sinking behind the flats
the stone girls walk in circles, with their babies on their backs
as big trucks roll down wide streets
heroin filled storm drains
suburban towns are turned blue and brown
use old wars for their street names
they took you down to campbelltown
to mount druitt and st mary’s
young men sit stoned in a terrace house
the sydney swans on pay~tv
(woah, hey)
[chorus]
if it’s high enough
if it’s long enough
if it’s straight between the posts
drink your beer and shed no tears for these days you miss the most
every step and sill sat shining in black from door to door
and the tears roll down like reschs
the day john sattler broke his jaw
and the tears roll down like reschs
the day john sattler broke his jaw
