Taipan
|
He'll get you when he can
|
Ooh
|
He'll get you when he can
|
|
Makes his home in a mangrove tree
|
Sleep plantation family
|
White man planter, Bundaberg rum
|
Childhood rattle, trumpet and drum
|
|
Stay with me
|
Stay with me, oh yeah
|
Until the morning comes
|
|
Taipan
|
He'll get you when he can
|
Ooh
|
He'll get you when he can
|
|
These days, I can't explain
|
But I can smell the monsoon rain
|
Seasons come, and seasons turn
|
More and more, canefields burning
|
Early in the morning, the afternoon
|
Pathways blazed in a mangrove moon
|
Burning down my eyes
|
|
(Railroad goes, Kalamia mill
|
If the heat don't get you, Taipan will
|
Six o'clock, the whistle sings
|
C.S.R. is the sugar-cane king)
|
|
Stay with me
|
Stay with me
|
Taipan
|
He'll get you when he can
|
Ooh
|
He'll get you when he can
|
