Town With No Cheer

Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces
there'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
there'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
from Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander
with newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
the train stopped in Serviceton less and less often
There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
VicRail decided the canteen was no longer necessary
there no spirits, no bilgewater and 80 dry locals
and the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
there's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store

This tiny Victorian rhubarb
kept the watering hole open for sixty five years
now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there'll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
no Bourbon, no Branchwater
though the townspeople here
fought the Vic Rail decree tooth and nail
now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there'll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

Wisdom Calls Aloud In The Streets
Hear Her Raising Her Voice In The Squares
How Long Will You Simple Ones
Love Your Evil Ways
Turn Around And Listen To My Rebuke
And I Will Pour Out My Spirit On You
Turn Around And Listen To My Rebuke
And I Will Let You Hear My Words
As The Moon Turns To Blood
So Many Will Understand
As The Seals Are Breaking One By One
Hear My Words - Hear The Wisdom Call
For You Wouldn't Hear When I Cried
And You Didn't React When I Reached Out My Hand To You
As You Let My Advice Drain Away
And You Didn't Accept My
