Away Away  , and         They're coming to take you away.
G Gb F E        

They're coming to take you away, away
they're coming to take you away, to the happy home
make you watch sky TV news, all night and day
tell you what to think and say
they're coming to take you away

Bboom boom boum boum, bboom boom boum boum

.
(changes to other accompaniment in A)

Away,   Away   across the border,   Away

Awa     Awa     over the horizon,   Away

So Roopy,    dirt digger scoop’s  old boys  ARE  after you,  every day and night
and all the dingos in his pay, 
they're coming to take me away
All their  cheats  and liars   
today, oh dear  ah gotta  get        Away  away

Bboom boom boum boum, bboom boom boum boum

​

Away,   Away   across the border,  Away 

Awa     Awa    over the horizon,      Awa   Awa

their  led  projector  channels  all night and day
all night and day, they're coming to take you away.
Bug you with their smart phone selfies,  show, 
to keep ahead try  to  make you pay!

Bboom boom boum boum, bboom boom boum boum

​

Away,   Away   across the border,  over the horizon, Away

Awa     Awa

running a stake out every day
get us cornered every way,   to  win every time
though every round's a bodge,
from the neighbourhood watch, they're coming to take us away.
We  could   be gone 

Away,   Away   across the border,  over the horizon, Away

Awa     Awa

SHUM PEOPLE.
1
Can a whiteman sing the blues, 
(line of guitar music)
some people always win,  while others always lose.
you're walking 'bout in second hand shoes.

Shum people,   Shum people  are flashing on yer  window,
Night and day, Shum people,............................
2
And shum people like to join in,
others just don't care 
as long as they're not in your shoes.
They say you've been at the booze. 

Shum people,   Shum people  are shitting on the window,
Night and day, Shum people,............................

3.
Shush, shoosh, shoo shoosh,   Shush, shoosh, shoo shoosh
Shum people trying too shoo me away,
Stay calm,.......cool and collected,
But I belong  here and here's where I'll stay.


So when the police come I'll just say,
Shum people,   Shum people  are shitting on the windows,
Night and day, Shum people,............................
 

Down with  cargo  work   combat pants and  
down with the  blue/ red,   smart phone  trousers 
covert ops and   protection racketeers trousers too
Flashing and  trashing 


We are the people, who throw the toilet paper.
Who are the flash card  projection  creatures,  
sociopaths who aim their computers at me and you.
snooping and rooking

Down with old  Tonys' trousers,       {oh dear  that  was  2005}  well  some  other bastards 
Down with bombers too!             all of them
The anonymous brown raincoat security men
Who tell  lies over their  contingency plans.

​

We are the people, who throw the toilet paper.
Who are the creatures who aim their computers at me and you?

 


Note       the  inspiration   came  from Emile Zola’s   striking  miners,   down with the  red trousers.   the opposite of hooray  for   the  blue  trousers.   They  are so wonderful.  
You do understand    that   I cant  have lager   louts  coming  round here,  wanting to  participate in   a de bagging   after all   I am a convalescent .   As  to   who  is big boy and  who   is the  bogey man   are we   still   blaming  the whole  crap  show on   the big goblin

I'ts a rough old  world, its a tough old world

It’s a rough old world, it’s a tough old world
(starts in key of d)
1
Why don't you sing to the social security,
they're the only ones who can spare you the dough.
It's a tough old world don't you know,
it's a rough old world don't you know.
2
When your'e available and yer trying yer best
but they just won't take you on
that's why we sing to the social security


(chorus in Em)
But don't let them make you sing to the police
repeat

3
They're the people who will care for you
and pay you to do f'all.
So why don't we join harmoniously and sing
to the social security,  who know us so well.

4
They'll never stop caring for us
with their excellent industrious and charitable concern
They know we'll always be here
that's why we sing to the social security

(chorus in Em)
But don't let them make you sing to the police
repeat

5
Um fahs the um so
and foos yer neeps mon.
Dinnae fash yersel
