lyrics

Well, the last time that I saw you I was crying and beautiful,
head half-mast like a flag after a shooting.
But come sit by me on the couch inside my draughty villa,
the weatherboards are the skin to it's soul.

I've lived within these wet walls for years
cos you can't pay the rent with Pākehā tears.
I'm just as tragic as the landlord's laugh.

But can you hear the dog whistle?
It's so quiet on our street you can hear the dog whistle at night.

On the streetlamp's dust it glows,
upon my neighbour's berm it grows.
We drink communion in our kitchens
cos there's no church or bars to go to ...
