Man About A Dog The Whitlams (Ft. Tim Freedman & The Whitlams)

I had to go into the hills and see a Man About a Dog
"Get here before the sun goes down"
And so I get into the truck and turn a right at Friday Hut

I′ll come home around the town
The rain it slapped the land from sleep
It was green within a week
Two birds escort me in
The world turning on the flash of a wing

And the worse that it was the better it will be
You held onto the tail and that's a victory
All this talk of how to be happy
And I′m off to see a Man About a Dog

And when I get up to the shack first night I hear the Big Old Cat
Rumbling out at sea
Yeah "come on take the turn to land
Not just a light show and a band
It's the soaking we need"
The farmer dreams of cattle fed
Tonight he's working from his bed
On the roof the heavy drops
That′ll break the Silence of the Frogs

And the worse that it was the better it will be
You held onto the tail and that′s a victory
All this talk of how to be happy
But not a little content
Naught 'til ′21's not a pity
When I′m off to see a Man
Off to see a Man About a Dog
