Chords:

:	010003
:	042000

Intro:
       /        

Verse:
                        
 Speed,       and and this
	   	      	     	    		        
 There's a feeling I get when I look to the sun
             	              
 Love,             it's so tough
 	                                
 Cause it raises your hopes and then it makes you run

Chorus:
                                
We're all looking for a shorter day
                                     
We're all looking for an easy way
		   		      
    Even when the debts are dead and gone

Then:
          	        

Verse 2
         		          
Down,           Down the stairs
	  	                 		        
And an eight mile drive waits for you to turn on
        		              
Hear,        the time clocks sing
          	                  		          
And the smoke in the distance reaches the eye line

Chorus

(Chords over solo)
         	        
                  

then:

        	        
        	        
				 
Even when the debts are dead and gone
                                
Even when the debts are dead and gone

*Play Riff 1. Four times before Talking starts

*Play Riff 1. Eight times during Talking

No conversation as you go
There's so much space the heat moves you
Terracotta homes, backyard barbeque and eucalyptus smell
It's fine on the clothes line
It's fast food and slow life and red roof
My silence, comic interruptions
Surely there's some relief from atomic art

*These Chords are played (on a an acoustic in the album wersion)
throughout Petes Rant:

  		   
  		  

And the fragile state of world events
With clowns who love the kings and power and the mutant media babes
Wanking on dreams and fashions and toilet paper flowers
Don't talk to me in this backyard - it's clandestine, it's nuclear
Smell of space and now forever I wanna go
Straight down the exit eight mile attraction
U-turn is up and the time clock sings lets go

                           
Lucky!!     	    Country!!
	                       	               
Where the geckos are paid to live in the sun
                                  
(ah on) Lucky!!(on, and on)Country!!
                                               
There's a ribbon of road and a mile to spare

End:

Luc-ky  Coun-try	Luc-ky  Coun-try

         		        
			Luc-ky  Coun-try
