CHARLIE DRAKE - 'My Boomerang Won't Come Back' - 45rpm 1961

MY BOOMERANG WON'T COME BACK
Charlie Drake - 1961

(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)
In the bad backlands of Australia
Many years ago,
The aborigine tribes were meeting,
Having a big pow-wow.
(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)
"We got a lot of trouble, Chief,
On account of your son Mack."
"My boy Mack? Why, what's wrong with him?"

My boomerang won't come back.
"Your boomerang won't come back?"
My boomerang won't come back,
My boomerang won't come back,
I've waved the thing all over the place,
Practised till I was black in the face,
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,
My boomerang won't come back.

I can ride a kangaroo (yeah yeah)
Make kinkajou stew (yeah yeah)
But I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,
My boomerang won't come back.
They banished him from the tribe then
And sent him on his way,
He had a backless boomerang
So here he could not stay. (Animal noises)

This is nice, innit?
Getting banished at my time of life.
What a way to spend an evening: sitting on a rock in the middle of the desert with me boomerang in me hand. I shall very likely get bushwhacked. (An animal roars; Drake shrieks back.)

Get out of it!
You nasty bushwhacking animal.
Think I'll make a nice cup of tea. (Doing, doing, doing...)
Good gracious!
There goes a kangaroo.
I must have a practice with me boomerang: hit him right behind the left earhole.
Now then, slowly back.
Gruff voice: If you throw that thing at me, I'll jump right on your head. (It chuckles and bounces away.)

Innit marvellous?
Got a land full of kangaroos and I had to pick that one.
For three long months he sat there
Or maybe it was four,
Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin
Came a-knocking at his door.
"Well, I'm the local witch doctor, son,
They call me George Alfred Black.
Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy?"

My boomerang won't come back.
"Your boomerang won't come back?"
My boomerang won't come back,
My boomerang won't come back,
I've waved the thing all over the place,
Practised till I was black in the face,
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,
My boomerang won't come back.

"Don't worry, boy,
I know the trick,
And to you I'm gonna show it.
If you want your boomerang to come back,
Well first you've got to... throw it."
Ooh, yes!
Never thought of that.
Daddy will be pleased.
Must have a go, nyuh-huh! Excuse me.
Now then, slowly back... and throw.
(Boomerang whizzes away; Sounds of a plane approaching and then falling from the sky.)

Ooh my God!
I've hit the flying doctor.
Eee-hee-hee!
Can you do first aid?

Don't talk to me about first aid, boy, you owe me fourteen chickens, you know, when I learned you to throw the boomerang, you know, first things first.

Yes, I know that, but I mean, I think on this occasion, you know, you could be a bit more perspective...........

Tattoos And Tequila lyrics


I need a little favor, I want some of your flavor
Come fill the space between us
And let's drink another shot to feed us
There's a bottle pointing right at you
Bottoms up girl, you know what to do

Come on over baby I really need you
Touch me like you do girl I wanna feel you
Show me all your tattoos and drink my tequila
Come on take your clothes off you really need to
Baby do a sweet dance I wanna see you
Show me all your tattoos and drink my tequila

I dream about your bootie
Ya I can't wait until ya do me again
You, you know I know your weakness
So let's drink another shot to feed us
There's a bottle pointing right at you
Bottoms up girl, you know what to do

Come on over baby I really need you
Touch me like you do girl I wanna feel you
If you can read it, it's not the original one
Show me all your tattoos and drink my tequila
Come on take your clothes off you really need to
Baby do a sweet dance I wanna see you
Show me all your tattoos and drink my tequila

(I said taste it baby, drink it all baby haha!!)
Solo

Come on over baby I really need you
Touch me like you do girl I wanna feel you
Show me all your tattoos and drink my tequila
Come on take your clothes off you really need to
Baby do a sweet dance I wanna see you
Show me all your tattoos and drink my tequila

Cage The Elephant - Back Against The Wall

Back Against The Wall by Cage The Elephant
Songwriters: Champion, Jared; Parish, Lincoln; Shultz, Donald; Shultz, Matthew; Tichenor, Daniel;

Tonight I'll have a look and try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house my spirit screams and dies again
Outback a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen I've fallen to my knees

I said you got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away, I need to get away

Blanket of silence makes me wanna sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence, a fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies

I said you got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away, I need to get away

Now you know, yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky while shamefully I make my plea
The alter's callin' but my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am

I said you got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hangin' by a thread and I'm feelin' like a fool
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
I wanna get away, I need to get away

Now you know, yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

Now you know, yeah you got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down like a sittin' duck just waitin' for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

Concrete & Clay by Unit 4 + 2

I absolutely love this song!  Here's the lyrics to go with the video I just posted.
CONCRETE & CLAY
(Brian Parker/Tommy Moeller)

Unit Four Plus Two (1965)

You to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
And you to me
Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share
That something rare

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

All around
I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you're in my arms
So tenderly

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we'll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That's the way
Mmm, that's the way it's meant to be

And that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be

That's the way
(that's the way it's meant to be)
Wo-oh, that's the way
That's the way it's meant to be [Fade]
