The Earthquake

David came from down the sounds, spent a lifetime hanging round.
The less he does, he says, the less that can go wrong.
So he never really does that much. He doesn't have much going on.
Placing bets on the ashtray and putting Tracey down.
Things haven't really been the same since the earthquake came to town.

Tracey, mumma, did your life just disappear?
Did you take it day by day or did it fly by year by year?

David came from down the sounds, lived his life like a hungry hound.
Tracey waited her whole life to make a house a home,
And she'd rather be lonely together than lonely alone.
Sunny shame on a sunday. Set yourself down in the ground.
Things haven't really been the same since the earthquake came to town.

Tracey, mumma, did your life just disappear?
Did you take it day by day or did it fly by year by year?

Tracey, mumma.
