Blow Up The Pokies Lyrics - Singles - Whitlams

" There was the stage 

Two red lights and a dodgy P.A 

You trod the planks way back then 

And it's strange that you're 

Here again - here again " 

" And I wish , I wish I knew the right words 

to make you feel better 

Walk out of this place 

Defeat them in your secret battle 

Show them you can be your own man again " 

" Don't, don't explain 

Lots of little victories take on the pain 

It takes so long to earn 

You can double up or 

You can burn - You can burn " 

" And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 

To make you feel better 

Walk out of this place 

Defeat them in your secret battle 

Show them you can be your own man again " 

" And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 

To blow up the Pokies and 

Drag them away 

'Cause they're taking the food off your table 

So they can say that the trains run on time " 

" Flashing lights - It's a real show 

And your wife - I wouldn't go home 

The little bundles need care 

And you can't be a father there 

Father there " 

" And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 

To blow up the Pokies and 

Drag them away 

'Cause they're taking the food off your table 

So they can say that the trains run on time "
