Big Jet Plane (triple j Like A Version) Lyrics by Tuka

triple j: Like a Version, Vol. 12

2015

[Verse 1: Tuka]
I grew up at the end of a long dirt road
No street lights, just a couple trees
You could probably see the wallabies
Bounding around in their brown fur coats
Most days walked the whole way home
With a jig in my step, nothing but the air in my lungs
Feeling my breath, singing my songs that I wrote in my head
Every now and then when I look up at the sky
I can see a kookaburra fly, I begin to daydream
Think about my wingspan, chase the sun around the globe
So everywhere I go it’s summertime
I wonder why people get stuck in the same place?
Probably thinking ‘bout what they say
Ah, fuck it, take a bite of humble pie
Don’t you worry 'bout what they think, hey
[Chorus: Thelma Plum & Tuka]
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 2: Tuka]
You grew up in the land of the red dirt
Where the yellow sand meets the fresh surf
Where the black history can respect earth
But the politicians only think about its net worth
From East Sydney to West Perth
Top End down to Cape Bay
You put the leg work in but you get burnt out
That’s why you sink piss every payday
Hey, have you ever gone away?
Do you ever think about a holiday?
Are you in the business of making money?
If you haven’t got a dollar then I guess you've gotta wait
Wait, maybe we can win the lottery?
Get high by the beach, a Lana Del Rey
Baby, you could follow my lead, get
Fly like a kite in the breeze and yo
[Chorus 2: Thelma Plum & Tuka]
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Everywhere I go, hey, hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Everywhere I go, whoa, hey, hey
[Bridge: Thelma Plum & Tuka]
I met a lover, down by the river
Ohhh, she said:
"Hey mister, it’s nice to meet you"
Ohhh
Can I hold ya, and hold you tighter?
I took a seat up, she said, "Pleased to meet ya
You can be my mister," so I kissed her
And can I take ya, and take you higher?
Not used to the needle of time
We didn’t even need a reason to smile
Hey, hey
[Chorus 2: Thelma Plum & Tuka]
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Everywhere I go, hey, hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Everywhere I go, whoa, hey, hey
