Reckless - Paul Kelly, The Messengers

Meet me down by the jetty landing

Where the pontoons bump and spray

I see the others reading, standing

As the manly ferry cuts it’s way to circular quay

Hear the captain blow his whistle

So long she’s 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

She don’t like that kind of behaviour

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 artic

Burke and wills and camels

Initials in the tree

She don’t like that kind of behaviour

She don’t like that kind of behaviour

Don’t be so

She don’t like that kind of behaviour

She don’t like that kind of behaviour

So throw down your guns

Don’t be so reckless

Throw down your guns

Don’t be so reckless

Throw down your guns

Don’t be so reckless

Don’t be so reckless

Don’t be so reckless
