Bm E D
I think I hear the sounds of then, and people talking
Bm E D
The scenes recalled by minute movement
Bm E D
And songs they fall from the backing tape
Bm E D
That certain texture, that certain smell
To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
E Bm
Brings home the heavy days
Bm D E
Brings home the night time swell
Bm D E G
Out on the patio we'd sit
Bm D E G
And the humidity we'd breathe
Bm D E G
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Bm D E G Bm
Laugh and think, this is Australia.
The block is awkward, it faces West
With long diagonals, sloping too
And in the distance, through the heat haze
In convoys of silence the cattle graze
That certain texture, that certain beat
Brings forth the night time heat
Bm D E G
Out on the patio we'd sit
Bm D E G
And the humidity we'd breathe
Bm D E G
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Asus4 A Bm
Laugh and think that this is Australia.

In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
Brings forth the heavy days

This is Australia
This is Australia
