southend rainbows - the place beyond the pynes lyrics

[verse 1]
was it herod or agrippa
who carpe’d the first diem?
are we living in a nation
or the walls of a museum?
those p+ssants murdered murdoch
and they packed it in for packer
and the band around my country’s arm
is getting tighter, getting blacker
but this one wouldn’t take it
i won’t sit down any longer
justice is a contest
it always serves the stronger
i’ll mind my ps on q and a
and across the 14 stations
i might never conquer carthage
but i’ll conquer education

[chorus]
i never quite grew into my suit and tie
the red white and blue, it is flying, and i
i’ve got a vision and a plan
i’m a well+connected man
when they finally understand
before we slip into the sand
they’ll put up statues in the park
where me and caz, we used to walk
and when the day is finally mine
they’ll call this the place beyond the pynes

[verse 2]
there’s no two ways around it
i’m from a finer stock
the kind that built this country
my roots are set in solid rock
you can ask the madame speaker
i’ve never had the punt
while the members standing opposite
they aren’t fit to call them “grubs”
i’ll take the bolder measures
to keep the country floating
they won’t pay for education
so they’re free to keep free+loading

[chorus]
you’ll get no blood from this old stone
i’ll fill the coffers of the banks with student loans
we’ll give those working kids a chance
for their supply to meet our demand
pay the toll or get in line
for the place beyond the pynes

[verse 3]
they say that contacts beget contracts
and h+ll, i’ve had a few of each
through the years the offers trickled down:
a chance to practice what i’ve preached
and as i sink beneath the waves of change
i set my course without repentance
politics may be a discipline
but it’s never a life sentence

[chorus]
you couldn’t k!ll me with the sharpest axe
they read out my rites but i kept coming back
there’s no getting rid of me (i’m the fixer)
i’m the end of history (i’m the fixer)
i’m the barker of the bight (i’m the fixer)
adelaide’s homegrown antichrist (i’m the fixer)
the prow has now become the stern (i’m the fixer)
i’m fiddling while my country burns (i’m the fixer)
so let the message ring through time (i’m the fixer)
there’s no place beyond the pynes
(there’s no place beyond the pynes)
