Ruby’s lookin’ over the water
Paris end of Woolloomooloo
Eyein’ off the guns of a mother
USS Missouri to you
Her heart is like a geiger counter
Haulin’ on a Lucky Strike
Ruby’s gonna get her a sailor
And kiss him on the long goodnight
Haulin’ on a drop-dead number
Playin’ with a finger-nail file
Anything to build the hunger
Scrawlin’ on a drop-dead smile
She’s gonna take him back
Back up Macleay
Gonna take him back
Make him pay her
For the hotel room
Make him pay her
By a fly-blown electric light
Hangin’ off a tattooed shoulder
Lickin’ off the red red rum
There’s murder in the room
Murder in the room
Murder in the room
Murder in the room
Tonight
Now Ruby’s steppin’ out of the shower
Waxin’ to the Brisbane line
Smelling like a tropical flower
Walkin’ one leg at a time
Ruby’s got an ivory razor
Got herself a blade so bright
Ruby’s gonna get her a sailor
And kiss him on the long goodnight.
I’m a long time fan of Tex, the Beasts and Aussie-alt rock .. and recently been over indulging in the back catalogues of SPJ and Ian Rilen. Why mention that? This record is inspiring and an aural pleasure that grows each listen. Despite the talent, crafted musicianship and acknowledged influences on this record, they still deliver the same raw emotion, telling observations and Lo-Fi attitude we love Tex and his compatriots for.. fave tracks are Pay the Devils Due and Danger Has Been Kind trumblesinegypt
