Australia (Land of Magnets) Lyrics by Slugbug

Pointless Journey

2009

I can't call you
'Cause you speak into the end you listen to
A long way off and I can't get through
I'm in Australia
Water flows
The wrong way down my kitchen sink
And hot comes out of cold, I think
I'm in Australia
(When you look around it's clear to see)
(Everything's reversed opposite of what it should be)
(Try to make a left turn, go to the right)
(Sleep in the day, and work in the night)
(Cat comes in, cat goes out)
(Always on the wrong side of the door)
(TV picture's upside down)
(Radio waves don't work)
Australia, land of magnets
Land where I left all my microphones
Don't make me go back there, ah no. No
Now
I can't call you
When I try to dial a number it laughs at me
As I can't understand Japanese
I'm in Australia
When I tried
To drive my car to get some food
I backed into my living room
I'm in Australia
Where everything is backwards
(Mirrored from left to right)
Where everything is broadcast on television
(And no one is safe from rocks)
Australia, land of magnets, has a north pole and a south
Australia, land of magnets, there's no sound
Still I cannot reach you
The quarter comes back, the profits accrue
Still I cannot reach you
Still I cannot reach you
Still I cannot reach you (Still I cannot reach you)
(Still I cannot reach you)
Still I cannot reach you
