lyrics

Lyrics / Dowling & Stone.
.............

The sky is alight with blues and reds
The dogs all hide behind the shed
The powder cracks and the colours spray
The long weekend kicks off today.

Light the wick but do it quick now
He had the fire in his soul
With a bang and a crack and a small stumble back
Kev had cracker night in control
He took it to another level
Some say that he was possessed
Chuck the kiddies up on Nanna’s old picnic blanket
And watch Kev do the rest-a

Fire it up now
Get every c#nt around
As the flames burn ten feet high
And the fireworks flood the sky

Light it up now
Turn it on for the whole town
‘Cos Dad’s got a Bunga in the back o’ the one-tonner, about to fuck’n blooowww!!

Lights so bright they could possibly blind ya
From a bloke who got em straight outta China
Off the back of a truck Kev mentioned
They met each other back in juvie detention
Back of the shed, bunga’s on the shelf
Dropped at ya feet, kids’d shit ‘emselves
Chuck in a box of roman candles
Too much for Mummy to handle.

Fire it up now
Get every c#nt around
Bring the neighbourhood together
Let the bonfires warm this weather

Light it up now
Cracker night is goin’ down
Grab the parachutes, Tom Thumbs, the spinners and throw downs and get out in the backyard
Yeah, the sparklers are for ya Mum and ya Sister ya fuck’n drongo.

Let me tell ya’s.
When the bloody powers that be decided to pull the plug in ‘86, Kevy knew he was goin’ out with a bang.
Pun fuck’n intended.
The old bushy ‘Pyrotechnic King’, had an elaborate plan - that turned to shit, three hours before sundown.
With a tin in his hand.

He had a wick, thicker than two dicks, taped together with gaff
Had a thirst for destruction that couldn’t be quenched, a box o’ matches in hand.
His timing was always spot on,
(It was the best night of the year)
but he was twelve cans deep.
The silly duffer took out the jerry can...
(Lets bring it on back!)
With his two left feet.
BOOM!!
