Garageland

(album: Garàge - 1998)

I'm Sales Manager
Kitchenware
It's not as bad as it sounds
I wear a suit
The girls are cute
I push 'em all around
I got a nice house
I only go out to work
Real late at functions
I got a new car
As neat as a pin
It goes when I get in

Help me, Jesus

I'm never alone
In my cosy home
Got a radio and TV
I've got two kids
A boy and a girl
They both look just like me

Help me, Jesus
Help me

Hey there, I'm a salary man
I live out west in garageland
Doing alright, I'm a family man
I'm sitting out here in garageland

It's hot out here
I need a beer
It's a long way from the sea
There's no crime on my lawn
It's not too rough for me
There's a heat haze hanging in the dirty sky
Like a warm and hairy blanket
Give a beer
A whiskey or gin
I don't care, I'll drink it

Help me, Jesus
Help me

Hey there, I'm a salary man
I live out west in garageland
Doing alright, I'm a family man
Sitting out here in garageland

I'll retire with a lump sum payment
Adequate pension
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Somewhere nice on the mid north coast
A holiday house
A car and a boat

I'm Sales Manager
Kitchenware
It's not as bad as it sounds
I wear a suit
The girls are cute
I push 'em all around
I'm getting so fat
My wife doesn't mind
We do it in the dark
Don't talk too much
We've said enough
She still makes me laugh

Help me, Jesus
Help me
Help me, Jesus

Hey there, I'm a salary man
I live out west in garageland
Doing alright, I'm a family man
Sitting out here in garageland

Hey there, I'm a salary man
I live out west in garageland
Doing alright, I'm a family man
Sitting out here in garageland
