J. Mahon (2017) • Performed by The Slingers • Produced by The Slingers • Lyrics: • Flies buzz around the homemade irrigation, • The labels on the bottles sag in condensation, • Can hear the crunch of tyres on the backyard gravel, • Sister leans on Grandpa’s shovel. • And the heat twists the air like crinkled cellophane, • And it shimmers too, like spilt kerosene round the driveway drain, • One more day, brother, one more day • You can still see the cricket on the T.V from the back veranda, • So the men stand around like headless agapanthus, • But you watch the rosellas people a perfect sky, • And you feel perfect too, but can’t say why • Now Dave wears long-sleeves to cover up the track-marks on his arms just in case, • Ah but he can’t hide what’s written in the rings and the lines of his face, • But I ain’t never seen the sun, set through the gums like that before, • And would it really matter if it was the last thing you ever saw? • One more day • One more day, One more hour, • As the sun dips behind the Telstra tower, • So, think of all the things that you would say, • With one more day, • Coils burning in the pool-side patio, • Brother, we got Skyhooks on the wireless radio, • There’s this picture of Dad, Grandpa and myself, • Rosary beads and candles burning on the cluttered shelf • Now Grandpa did it in one August night with a sawn-off shotgun, • Beneath my breath now, don’t ask me where he fucken got one, • Now Dave comes in ragged, he’s been round the bend, • And he’s all wigged out, he’s going off at Mum again, • Mum just stands there and takes it, like the backyard Jacaranda, • Like Sisyphus, like a sun-burned agapanthus. • One more day, one more hour, • One more petal falls from the back-veranda flower, • Maybe then I’d find the words to say, • But I’d probably just piss it all away, • I’d lie awake a lifetime in your arms, • And I’d never do no one any harm,
