Yarralumla Wine Lyrics - Redgum Anthology 1976-1986 - Redgum

See those Guccis and silver Commodores 

See those Guccis and silver Commodores 

Sold my soul to the CES 

They sent my cheque to the wrong address 

Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine 

A fruit bouquet like month-old socks 

Gerrymander winner at the ballot box 

Toast to democracy, raise your glass 

They're all too pissed to notice us 

Table a flagon - senate debate 

Canberra breeds only sour grapes 

Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine 

A tax dodge accountant is a businessman's best friend 

A tax dodge accountant is a businessman's best friend 

Gas bill came - I can't pay 

Utah made a million bucks today 

Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine 

King William Street's looking Wall Street could 

Business not booming but it's pretty good 

Employment forecast - deja vu 

Twenty percent for 1982 

Chaos in the kitchen, it's a crying shame 

The waiter's in a stupor and the cook's insane 

Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine 

All the boys and girls are taking out Bankcards 

They're contemplating Space Invaders in pizza bars 

My television screen's an alcoholic haze 

The Sullivans and reruns of Happy Days 

Scan the morning over stale Weetbix 

"Sex Change Vicar Vice Horror - Shock Pix" 

Murdoch and Packer, thanks for the news 

Read three pages and you feel half-boozed 

Force-fed years with a loving cup 

One more swig and we all throw up 

Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine 

Puff a Galois, entree Pate de fois 

Streamline the company with a Schaeffer pen 

Fifty jobs lost - pissed again 

They're drinking on the bridge and in the swimming pools 

We're stoking the boiler on the ship of fools 

Running blind, drunk on Yarralumla wine
