Shoulda (Triple J Live at the Wireless, 2001)

Peter's fine, peelin' knives
Hawkwind wives
The counters measure everythin'
He never liked his style
Black flowers grown in her eyes
And in her teens
Shrink to negative space, now
Everything's in between

Woah, I shoulda known better, I shoulda known why
I thought I was clever, now you know that I'm not
The rings around Saturn are just a test pattern
The show is on Earth, can you follow the plot?

Peekin' over our back fence
Into their yard
There's cats standin' up, hundreds of them
I can't see the grass
There's light shinin' off of their face
Uh, uh, onto my face
Someone hand me the flash [?]
I need to torch this place (Wow!)

Stand clear, the doors are closin'
Pick out some clothes, I think you've been chosen
There's some holy folks in heaven
But there's a whole lot of ghosts in my neighbour Kevin

Woah, I shoulda known better, I shoulda known why
I thought I was clever, now you know that I'm not
The rings around Saturn, they're just a test pattern
The show is on Earth, can you follow the plot?
