lyrics

Colin, is that your real name?
Who uses their real name on a public feedback form?
Colin, is that your car park?
Is that why you put cones out while you're at work?

Hoping for a photo op
Arms crossed next to the letter box
Double-clicking hyperlinks
Not in my backyard
Or front yard
Or near me
Or my nuclear family
Please take your change elsewhere

Colin, is that your Hilux?
Do you need it to drive the rugged roads of the CBD?
It can be quite hilly

Colin, bet you love that ad
Where the dog's swearing
You’re watching TV1 on weeknights
Fair go

This is an automated message
Please do not reply to this automated message
Paul Eagle will not respond to you
Office hours are over

This is a rate-paying citizen,
Do you know who I am? I'm the backbone of your economy
Paul Eagle, respond to me
Well you can't stop me

Hoping for a photo op
Arms crossed next to the letter box
Letter to the editor
Not in my backyard
Or frontyard
Or near me
Or my nuclear family
Please take your change elsewhere

Anyone for tennis?
