Bankstown Airport

The light plane
Goes past a cloud
Banks to the left before alignin' itself with the ground
It's always sunny up there

I used to like
Goin' down to the cyclone fence just to watch them glide
Made me feel less trapped, made me feel more alive
In a town where everybody knows just what you did
Your history's like hard rubbish left out on a nature strip

C'mon, let's climb
To where the Sun always shines
C'mon, let's climb
To where the Sun always shines

If you know
If you know what you're doin', you can do it
Half a packet of matches and a bottle of methylated spirits
See that hedge, that's one of mine
Did it while the Mr. Whippy van rang out its chime
Like a horror movie

They used to use this for
An aerodrome back in the war
And my grandfather, he fought the Japs
Until they got him and they put him in an internment camp
But I still got his bayonet blade
And I keep it in the top drawer, just in case

C'mon, let's climb
To where the Sun always shines
C'mon, let's climb
To where the Sun always shines
C'mon, let's climb
To where the Sun always shines

And it's all gone thin
Yeah, it's all gone thin
Yeah, it's all gone thin
Yeah, it's all gone thin
