lyrics

Silver Age

I was raised with the fear of God
To hide away all those sinner’s thoughts
But late at night when the door was shut
I worshiped the glorious sounds of Rock n’ Roll smut

For teenage taste do not be ashamed
Sentimental with a dose of rage
It got me through hell and it twice got me laid
Set the dial for the Silver Age

Boogie down to the community radio
45’s on my stereo keep my turned on all night

We’re in the Silver Age

I’m obsessed, I’m consumed by desire
For the one taste I need tonight
All my senses are merging as one
Sight and sound going over and over and

Soon you’ll be stuck in my head
Those silvertones send the VU red
Dormant beast starts to rattle his cage
I’m a slave for the Silver Age

Are you down to forego fidelity?
45’s feel so fine they keep me tuned all night

We’re in the Silver Age
We’re in the Silver Age
We’re in the Silver Age
Come on down…

I am drawn to what I can’t touch
‘Cus diffidence is like the coward’s crutch
It takes resolve yeah we all must be brave
Against the mindless
Fascist
Bull-headed
Homophobic
Patriarchal
Bastard cardinal
Fundamental
Christian zealot
Anti-vaxxin’
Over-taxin’
Coal-suckin
Peter Dutton-loving motorcade

Ya fuckwits!

Tax and tithe, tax and tithe, tax and tithe
Ain’t nothing we can do about it
Just bend over kid
No sir! I tell you what I’m gonna do…

Boogie down to Smith Street on a Tuesday night
Play it loud with my friends until we feel alright

We’re in the Silver Age
We’re in the Silver Age
