Reckless
Australian Crawl · Other Songs - Australian Crawl
Where the the pontoons bump and spray
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay
Hear the Captain blow his whistle
So long shes been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very Happy way to start the day
She don't like That kind of behaviour x 2
Chorus
So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp too far away
A Russian sub beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree
She doesn't like That kind of behaviour x 2
Chorus
