Australian Crawl - Things Don't Seem Lyrics
You think it's going all right
You think it's going fine, girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope you don't
I hope you don't mind
Wanna see you through it
Not makin' any promises maybe
That's only in the movies, movies
Things justa
Don't seema
To be going right
Prospect of reconciliation
Memories of some funny conversation
Like going to the moon
I can't afford it
Your mother with a bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Your father always thinking me a weirdo
I can't get no satisfaction
You think it's going all right
You think it's going fine, girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope you don't mind
Your mother with a bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon
I can't afford it
Things justa
Don't seema
To be going right

Love Australian crawl
Simon Binks is the guitarist i think. very underrated . Always loved his playing.
Great last guitar solo..I was listening to heavy metal back then...but I always remembered that great solo...don’t know who the guitarist was..or anything else that he may have stretched out on.nice to have the lyrics too
The things and the
thoughts and the
druuuugs
we're going riiiight
I tried to search for this lyric on line and gave up and just went to a list of Aussie Crawl songs on youtube until I hit the jackpot.
Another awesome song by one great band!!!
1:51 tho
this should be part of the citizenship test
Anyone on 9/11/2019 still rocking out to this
Best Song ever. Play it over and over agian and never get sick of it
Fangs just a dong saver,may we go it right
Lotty was here
Sure I saw Crawl performing this song live on TV, James was holding a portable radio, shaking it and singing, 'Transistor, don't seem-a, ter, be goin' right!'
Just goes to prove, lyrics don't always make a song, but a tune makes it memorable. Aussie pub scene music of that era keeps us sane even now. Thanks to all the great Aussie bands of the 80's and 90's. I hope someone soon emulates that great formula.
“Bang Sister, dawn saver, dog we’re goin’ right.”
that's funny!!
Solid Aussie rock.👌
The GREAT aussie crawl !! meet "THE GREAT Australian dream " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjxLtraxGTU

CHORUS :
Fang sister ,

i cant get my wagon to camp satisfaction
Fang sister ,

Dove , dago might
Fins goin all right , hes gonna fight - her
this book has nuthin in it for you
hooked , hooked , on might
muddle of a birds nest hair do
with a petty officer
i feel like dancin in the desert
im gonna get a moo cow bullwhipped
Stone cold new wave classic

don't worry guy's, i speak "reine".....
Bangs just a
Bong saver
Derrrrr
We're going to Rye....
I love the chirpy beat to this song; it's an unusual tempo for a rock song but it matches the theme of the song perfectly. When you can't face the dirty dishes for lack of motivation, chuck this one on. Before you know it you'll have renovated your kitchen.
hats off to the guy that writes out all the lyrics on every song i search on the net , i thought this one would fuck him, thats why im here, but see below, great job, bet he read them off the album cover! thats cheating!
Sing it james! whatever the hell your saying
First Song I ever was Taught how to play Every Instrument too,
I wanted too be so Cool Back Then. lmao

Literally if you put a gun to my head and said 'You have to get 50% of the lyrics right and you live', my reply would be 'just shoot me now.'

Whoa we’re gonna ride ....
The Crawl - up there with the best bands of their era ! Fabulous !
Yeahh 2x lead breaks ...
Australian Crawl sold more albums than INXS and Midnight Oil domestically between 1980-84.
It remains Australia’s most successful band not to have gone onto international success.
@David Dunlop cold chisel totally had international success.
Unless your living in a parrallel universe. Chisel failed to have an impact on any markets outside Aus/ NZ.. Its one of the main reasons they broke up mate..
@David Dunlop would you believe I was actually thinking of Men at Work when I wrote that?
Should say that Crawl were on verge of a major push in America. The Semantics Album was recorded for America, they had just scored a great deal with Geffen Records and I can't recall his name but Hall and Oates manager was about to take over their American Managment and he was a major player !!!!! But tragity struck and that was that........
Don't worry, guns n roses ripped a couple of tunes including sweet child of mine off Aussie crawl and had huge success, if that counts for anything
Massively underrated.
Pity I can’t get what he’s singing
Thanks dad for raising me on great music
Your dad has great taste... (if you read this, can you tell him that a random stranger on the internet congratulated him ... I always think thats such a strange but wonderful thing to happen)
Didn't catch a word of that. Will just have to listen to it again. And again. And again...
*s'pose ta fire my imagination ....*
The Police ?
Man... He is just the worst vocalist! Not the worst singer... But can't understand a fucking word James says!
"Until I got you tube
I'd never heard of them
here in the U.S.,
the Aussie bands like
AC/DC,
the Little River Band
and
Air Supply were played on
American radio regularly,
INXS and Men at Work
later were popular
here too,
but Australian Crawl and other
bands like them
like I said I'd never heard of them until about
a year ago when started looking
up bands from other countries
that the U.S. didn't get,thanks,
Real Australian Rock n Roll Rules."-😎.
🌐🎤🎸🎹🌐.
Along with Cold Chisel They never got any traction in the US.
Roger Temple - rose tattoo, the angels cold chisel give them a crack too brother. 🇦🇺👍🏽
The Hoodoo Gurus, hunters and collectors, The Angels, the Radiators and Midnight oil, Madness.
Roger, I can highly recommend INXS' first three albums, and Midnight Oil's first three albums and the "Bird Noises" Ep. The album this Australian Crawl track is from, "Sirocco", is a belter as well.
Bang Sister ! Loan Saver ! Dog, we're going right
Guitarist playing a 50s strat nice
Joke Band
Discharge Summary Name me another band whose first five albums all landed in the top four on the national charts.
That doesn’t sound like a “joke band”.
Top song!
James probably slurred his words on purpose. He was in a tv show back then.
When I was a kid, mum had a copy of James Reyne's 'Live in Rio' which had the lyrics in the sleeve so I could decipher it from a young age. But when I was a real young boy hearing this on the radio I remember thinking 'WTF is he even saying?'. Bangs to the, Dongs to the, ahhh breaking on ice.
I must say that gave me a chuckle... i had to put my hand over my mouth to stop me spraying coffee all over my laptop ;-)
I'm 19 and I can't get enough of 70s and 80s rock. That's the good stuff!!!
play this shit when i drop the kids at school. fuck yeah
The yanks loved this band but required subtitles had no idea what song words were
Esse som é um orgasmo !!!
Great guitar intro. One of the best ever
Muito bom musica de qualidade ouvindo em Novembro de 2018 !
The Chinese speaking people love him
australian dream way of life !!!
James Reyne at his unintelligible best!

Bag sniffer, dog shaver, ohh bacon and fries.
Something about public transport.
Here in 2018. Recalling the good surf and skateboard of the 80's
Regards from Brazil
Throw BMX in there as well!
Here in 2018. Recalling the good surf and sakte of the 80's :)
"Things still going, very alright," many decades later for James ... Well deserved .. Just heard him on ABC radio ... Going to Nashville to co-write some songs .. Maybe a James Reyne/Keith Urban song ... Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it ... I think that might be a Nutri Grain ad (-:
Dream it , believe it, achieve it.. that was the motto Luk e Rockhold lived by... it worked... till recently.
Seem so funny that song writers go to so much trouble with lyrics and the public don't understand shit! I have had all my own lyrics for this since it came out and now I read the actual words I still can't understand half of them... its funny.
Band sister dawn saver.
These guys used to lift the roof at some pub shows too good and yes underrated by many

Stupid lyrics!
Thanks mate
48 years of age and never knew WTF James was on about
Sarz The lyrics are contained within the album in which TDS features (Sirocco).
Thank you for deciphering James' unique language; it's impenetrable to most of us.
Asshole denis Leary
super cool!!!!
Yeahh 2x lead breaks ...
Is there an English version!!!!! Damn, he's hard to understand!!!!
Tracey Thomson Obviously:
1. you didn’t buy an Aussie Crawl records because all the lyrics were contained within.
or,
2. English isn’t your first language.
