Boot Hill

(album: The Boys Light Up - 1980)

Well he lived on the best side of opportunity street
Adobe villa built along the golden mile
Money's in the garage, there ain't nothing to eat
Just gonna give it three years it'll be right out of style

Take an overseas trip, life-long membership
Poolside serendippiddy-y
The two-tone shoes, fraud squad blues
Bring the neighbourhood to its knees
If you please hey

His brother's got the moleskin madness
His sister sweet boutique
A little gift for scraping through the H.S.C.
Junior don't believe, getting no reprieve
He's sitting in Prahran with something up his sleeve

Take an overseas trip, life-long membership
Poolside serendippiddy-y
The two-tone shoes, fraud squad blues
Bring the neighbourhood to its knees
If you please

We are all living on Boot Hill (Boot Hill)
We're living on Boot Hill (Boot Hill)
Are all living on Boot Hill, yeah

Other folks are sighing thank God it's Friday night
T.V.'s screaming like a whore, ah-ow
Junior wants to sing, Junior wants to cling
To something he don't know
Must be something more

Take an overseas trip, life-long membership
Poolside serendippiddy-y
The two-tone shoes, fraud squad blues
Bring the neighbourhood to its knees
If you please

We are all living on Boot Hill (Boot Hill)
We're living on Boot Hill (Boot Hill)
Are all living on Boot Hill (Boot Hill)
We're living on Boot Hill (Boot Hill)
Are all living on Boot Hill
