Bells In A Bushman's Ear (Chandelier Of Stars, 2005)
Don't knock the old hillbillies People love 'em out in the bush A simple tune with words that you can hear Y' don't need complications where hearts are kind and true Just words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
Maybe you need to stroll down a little dirt track Slow down and walk in time with a drover Hear the wind play a tune on the cypress pine Y' don't need beer and y' don't need wine Just words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
Like the hovering kite that whistles Telephone wires that hum Thunderstorms that rumble loud and clear He smells the rain that's coming Hear the cockies screech and yell Words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
Maybe you need to stroll down a little dirt track Slow down and walk in time with a drover Rattle an enamel mug with a spoon Talk to y' dog, or talk to the moon With words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
Yeah rattle an enamel mug with a spoon Throw him a bone and make him swoon Words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear
No don't knock the old hillbillies People love 'em out in the bush A campfire is no place for rock n' roll The proof is in the pudding, they don't come and go Images embedded in your soul
Maybe you need to stroll down a little dirt track Slow down and walk in time with a drover And when it rains y' run amuck Dance on the back of a cattle truck
Yeah words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear Peaches swimmin' inside a tin Mutton chops that grease y' chin Yeah words that ring like Bells In A Bushman's Ear.
