Root - The Rites of Springy lyrics

Springy, Good Ol' Springy Blue collar Scrape a dollar Springy Where did my Springy go? There's a five foot crack in the front window Masking tape to keep out the breeze When i was 5, i looked out of that window The view was the entire world to me My Camelot, My Field of Dreams Where I mimed with a tennis racket To please, please me All my memories now a DOS house for 23 refugees The garage is now all covered in rubble My dad built that in three months With a barrow and shovel The backyard is a tip Where I played in the saints premiership You cant see the spot for all the tags Where i offered to carry Sandra Smallman's schoolbag The back fence, drunkenly leaning Was the bricks and mortar of a schoolboy's dreaming Springy, Good Ol' Springy Do It Hard Meet Backyard Springy Where did my Springy go? I knew each house and nature strip Happy Bistro, Woolies and Mr Chips Aussie, Italian, Croatian, Maltese Modest flocks, extended families The blokes up the street all coming round When Dad needed help putting stumps down The football team that always wins The Dandy Sharps, The Clayton Skins The hot bread bakery that came and we said It's the biggest thing to happen since sliced bread The primary school without a blade of gra** Kissing Mary C. in the Springy Rd. Underpa** Rose Sunday, Fish and Chips Friday Bus Stop loitering outside the library Pinny's and Zorba's and misspent youth My mates garage for three chords And absolutley no idea of the truth You can sweep out the town You can get it back on track You could restore every building You can paint every crack You could wash away the petty crime The gangs and the smack But the one thing you'd miss Is the one thing you could never get back There's a kid His name is Vu Right now he lives in Wentworth Ave. He doesn't give a sh** Why would you? But maybe one day He'll be thinking this too Springy, Good Ol' Springy Down a Heel Keep It Real Springy Where did my Springy go? Springy, Good Ol' Springy Cup of Christ Not always Nice Springy Where did my Springy go? Springy, Good Ol' Springy Tracksuit Flab Is slightly shabby Springy Where did my Springy go? Where did my Springy go? Where did my Springy go? Where did my Springy go? Where did my Springy go? Where did my Springy go?
