John Williamson - The Shed Lyrics
Hey, did you ever wake up in the morningOn the wrong side of the bedI bit confused and yawningYou go straight out the back to your shedYeah, all Australian boys need a shedA place where he can go, somewhere to clear his headTo think about the things his woman saidYeah, all Australian boys need a shedA joint to learn to read an' write, to work on his bike at nightTo grow up as he likes, to grow anything under lightsA place to keep his tools, nuts and bolts and drillsTo hang a hide, to hide the dry or hang to pay the billsWell my old shed, she leaks a bit, the roof is caving inNothing that a bloke can't fix with a few spare sheets of tinThe beams are old telegraph poles, white ants have eaten themShe creaks and sways on windy days and leans towards the soundYeah, all Australian boys need a shedAt the back of the shed where the dogs are fed near last years bails of lucernSticky tall green leaves came up from thrown out seedsAll it took was bantam poop, I watered 'em once and they grew someThey should be prime 'bout Easter time if no nosy neighbour steals 'emYeah, all Australian boys need a shedTo weld up broken gates, a place for all his matesTo come 'round Sunday arvo' for a ginA place to make a racket, to find the pipe and pack itTo think about the things his woman saidYeah, all Australian boys need a shedYeah, all Australian boys need a shedYeah, all Australian boys need a shed
