LG Songtext
von The Herd

A moment passes as light flows through glasses
And I hear laughter from the long grasses
Babes in baskets and drinking from casks
Now cigarette throats crackle and rasp
Asking questions about my family and folk and
A real conversation with no jingles or tokens
The circle is broken, it′s split wide open
Now a spliff is lit and the perimeter is floating
Lips that are split become angry and spit
Yeah, backflipping pollies create a shit pit
Now swags dragged away, forms filled in with ink
And bowl cutters drawn, they're snapping the link
The most social of cultures judged antisocial
For living with families out in the open
Wherein we live in boxes, preoccupied foxes
Yet nobody stops when an old lady crosses


Hey, the game′s begun
The dice is rolled
Now move along
I said hey, the game's begun
The dice is rolled
Now who has won?

As I look into the eyes of these old fellas
As they look up into mine, these storytellers
For the richness of culture, I get jealous
As we hold up the cup and we drink from the chalice
Legs spread, cross-legged again in the park
Heart-fed stories, inspirational spark
Dragonfly flag now signalling dark
Over my shoulder, yes, a night patrol car
Moms moving, songs soothing, park choosing, soul bruising
Perimeter perusing has become a way of proving
Displacement adjacent to the concrete jungle
Where once whispered Arawaks and Warragals
I can't help but feel a little bit ropeable

Hey, the game′s begun
The dice is rolled
Now move along
I said hey, the game′s begun
The dice is rolled
Now who has won?


I take flight with my bike and go cruise through the night
When confronted by shadows in an absence of light
My palms are getting sweaty, I'm already forgetting
The netting of the bedding when the sun before setting
But shadows unravel, telling stories of travel
And long, jewelless walks across car parks of gravel
Oval smiles, pasted dials
Worthwhile tales for conversational styles
While all the while our canines hit fences
An imaginary defence against walking awhile
I dabble then I dibble when I′m stuck in the middle
Could you buy a vowel to help me solve this riddle?
Piddles and skittles and seismic jiggles
Selectively alert and now plays the fiddle

Hey, the game's begun
The dice is rolled
Now move along
Hey, the game′s begun
The dice is rolled
Now who has won?
Hey, the game's begun
The dice is rolled
Now who has won?
Hey, the game′s begun
The dice is rolled
Now who has won?
Now who has won?
