What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Here on the hill above the settlement
2
The buildings are talking
3
A tower to a terrace says the word's on the street
4
The dead are walking
5
The brows are arched of the mews across the street
6
By a pale ocher light are made out heavy reliefs
7
Where all your dreams are borrowed
8
All your senses are thieves
9
And Ned Kelly won't ride past your window
10
Despite the freeze on your disbelief
11
Don't bring 'em up if you can't put 'em down
12
Thin Captain Crackers bowling naked
13
Through the center of the town
14
The sun won't bake his blue skin brown
15
He's been too long underground
16
I see, said a blind builder to his deaf daughter
17
As he picked up his hammer and saw
18
If blood is thicker than water
19
Why'd you dress in the dress that you wore?
20
The blind are drawn by a blank curiosity
21
Don't bring 'em up if you can't put 'em down
22
Drawn on mirrors where windows used to be
23
Don't bring 'em up if you can't put 'em down
24
Some people might say
25
My desire's not the captain of me
26
And Red Barry might fly from his pedestal
27
At night to spook the university
28
Don't bring 'em up if you can't put 'em down
29
Thin Captain Crackers bowling naked
30
Through the center of the town
31
The sun won't bake his blue skin brown
32
He's been too long underground
33
Oh, tailor my bones what need new clothes
34
But the lower half loves what the upper half loathes
35
I could get around like an intellectual I suppose
36
Wearing the highs with the lows
37
But I'd sooner sing these doleful drones
38
By barcoo dog and lager phones
39
My hand don't write when a feather it holds
40
It hangs like a wren with its neck wrung
41
Did the bells in my quasi commode
42
Where I have to shift my head
43
To see where my pillow go'd?
44
Some mornings I wake up by the side of the road
45
Bringing it up for the gutter
46
After putting it down for the crowd
47
I said I would arrive in the capital
48
Don't bring â€~em up if you can't put â€~em down
49
After chucking outside
50
The St. Augustine's purple parish hall
51
Don't bring â€~em up if you can't put â€~em down
52
And you know I can't
