Hunters & Collectors - Under The Sun lyrics

These are easy days but his knees ache in the morning Mountain water on his skin – his bald head under Throw the kettle on the stove – the old man's coughing out the back Wild mint all around and he still can't get the car started Now there's thirty years of dust – he's got a chain smokers chest And he said he always knew, well he knew what was best Now the spirit of the place – is in the lines on the old man's face Bailed out back in Bendigo – dreaming again Well everything that's been is what is still to come And everything that's done is gonna be done And there is nothing new under the sun Now I'm sitting on the back step Looking at the paddocks all around Blue mountains far away Blue sky coming down I said “Hey can you hear me? I'm down here, I'm down here looking out I know ya drivin' around out there somewhere And I still have to shout!” Now there's thirty years of dust – he's got a chain smokers chest And he said he always knew, he knew what was best Now the spirit of the place – is in the smile on the old man's face Bailed out back in Bendigo – dreaming again And everything that's been is what is still to come And everything that's done is gonna be done And there is nothing new under the sun Well everything that's been is what is still to come And everything that's done is gonna be done And there is nothing new under the sun Well he dreamed of beauty – he was looking for it all his life And he dragged us all around the country – through love's travel and strife Now I'm gonna wake up and burn 'Cause this time it's my turn One of these days, someone else is gonna learn! Yeh, someone else, someone else is gonna learn Yeh, someone else is gonna learn, someone else is gonna learn
