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
Gonna get you come around baby
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
Feel like taking a vacation
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

  1. s.... ....

  3. G.... O....

    Sonzera 🤘🤘🤘

  4. G.... B....

    Love Australian crawl

  5. N.... M....

    Simon Binks is the guitarist i think. very underrated . Always loved his playing.

  6. C.... M....

    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

  7. I.... ....

    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.

  8. L.... M....

    Another awesome song by one great band!!!

  9. M.... ....

    1:51 tho

  10. M.... W....

    this should be part of the citizenship test

  11. J.... A....

    Anyone on 9/11/2019 still rocking out to this

  12. L.... O....

    Best Song ever. Play it over and over agian and never get sick of it

  13. t.... m....

    Fangs just a dong saver,may we go it right

  14. J.... B....

    Lotty was here

  15. P.... R....

    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!'

  16. f.... ....

    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.

  17. J.... L....

    “Bang Sister, dawn saver, dog we’re goin’ right.”

    J.... L....

    that's funny!!

  18. I.... w....

    Rabbits of a reconciliation

    feel like dancin with the ghetto (gepeto ?)
    i know its just the moon i came to boat trip
    muddle of a burnt nest hair dew
    brothers with a petty officer -her , er
    father always thinking me a weirdo
    i cant get my wagon to camp satisfaction
    Fang sister ,
    dont save her

    Dove , dago might

    Fins goin all right , hes gonna fight - her
    this book has nuthin in it for you
    hooked , hooked , on might

    Bong saver
    Derrrrr
    We're going to Rye....

  26. a.... ....

    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.

  27. P.... O....

    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!

  28. P.... O....

  38. R.... s....

    Bang Sister
    Dim Simmer
    Whoa we’re gonna ride ....
    The Crawl - up there with the best bands of their era ! Fabulous !
    Yeahh 2x lead breaks ...

  39. J.... G....

    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.

    J.... G....

    @David Dunlop cold chisel totally had international success.

    J.... G....

    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..

    J.... G....

    @David Dunlop would you believe I was actually thinking of Men at Work when I wrote that?

    J.... G....

    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........

    J.... G....

    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

  40. s.... ....

    Massively underrated.

  41. p.... ....

    Pity I can’t get what he’s singing

  42. D.... ....

    Thanks dad for raising me on great music

    D.... ....

    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)

  43. j.... ....

    Didn't catch a word of that. Will just have to listen to it again. And again. And again...

  44. s.... ....

    *s'pose ta fire my imagination ....*

  45. G.... M....

    The Police ?

  46. C.... D....

    Man... He is just the worst vocalist! Not the worst singer... But can't understand a fucking word James says!

  47. R.... T....

    "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."-😎.
    🌐🎤🎸🎹🌐.

    R.... T....

    Along with Cold Chisel They never got any traction in the US.

    R.... T....

    Roger Temple - rose tattoo, the angels cold chisel give them a crack too brother. 🇦🇺👍🏽

    R.... T....

    The Hoodoo Gurus, hunters and collectors, The Angels, the Radiators and Midnight oil, Madness.

    R.... T....

    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.

  48. O.... D....

    Bang Sister ! Loan Saver ! Dog, we're going right

  49. D.... M....

    Guitarist playing a 50s strat nice

  50. D.... S....

    Joke Band

    D.... S....

    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”.

  51. B.... H....

    Top song!

  52. B.... B....

    James probably slurred his words on purpose. He was in a tv show back then.

  53. Y.... P....

    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.

    Y.... P....

    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 ;-)

  54. D.... I....

    I'm 19 and I can't get enough of 70s and 80s rock. That's the good stuff!!!

  55. J.... T....

    play this shit when i drop the kids at school. fuck yeah

  56. t.... m....

    The yanks loved this band but required subtitles had no idea what song words were

  57. s.... e....

    Esse som é um orgasmo !!!

  68. G.... P....

    "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 (-:

    G.... P....

    Dream it , believe it, achieve it.. that was the motto Luk e Rockhold lived by... it worked... till recently.

  69. P.... T....

    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.

  70. B.... D....

    S.... z....

    Thanks mate
    48 years of age and never knew WTF James was on about

    S.... z....

    Sarz The lyrics are contained within the album in which TDS features (Sirocco).

    S.... z....

    Thank you for deciphering James' unique language; it's impenetrable to most of us.

    S.... z....

    Asshole denis Leary

  97. f.... f....

  98. T.... ....

    Yeahh 2x lead breaks ...

    Is there an English version!!!!! Damn, he's hard to understand!!!!

    T.... T....

    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.
