Paul Kelly - Take Your Time Lyrics

The Castle (1997) brought me here

The Castle (1997) brought me here

The Castle (1997) brought me here

The best Paul Kelly song hands down

It's the vibe of the thing!

Compulsorily acquired. Compulsorily acquired? Hang on you know what this means don’t ya. They are acquiring it compulsorily.

There must be a mistake

There are going to take our place and we don’t get a say in it

But how can they do that?

I don’t know, seventy thousand bucks. Who the hell are Airlink?

Dad, a guy’s selling seven eskies

Hang on Steve

What’s up?

Is this about Wayne?

Na. What d’ya make of that?

Jesus, this is a kick out notice



Na I’ll get it

Ah good’ay Farouk

Hello Mr Kerrigan can you note me something that I got today

Yeah Sure mate but I’m a bit busy at the moment can I can I come….shit, you’ve got one too, what’s going on, Jesus Christ, Jack



Jack, Jack it’s Daryl

Ah someone’s going to take me house Daryl



You’re Mr Kerrigan

Yup

Mr Kerrigan, Daryl. This is compulsory acquisition

Yeah

Mr Kerrigan, the airport is expanding. They’re setting up one of the largest freight handling facilities in the southern hemisphere and they need a great deal of space

Yeah

And your house, is on that space

Yeah, my house

Right, your house and that’s why you’ll be duly compensated

Na Na you’ve missed the point. I’m not interested n compensation. I don’t want to go.

Under the laws of compulsory acquisition I don’t necessarily agree with those laws I can understand the pain, the trouble

Will you stop pretending to be on my side.

Alright Mr Kerrigan I’ll state this simply there is an iron clad agreement between the federal state and the airports commission.

Yeah, well where’s the agreement with Daryl Kerrigan 3 Highview Crescent, Koolarue? Where’s that agreement? It’s not going to happen



Song …Take your time (Paul Kelly)



I don’t know Daryl this isn’t my area

What do ya mean this is not your area, this is law

Daryl the airport wants to buy your place, airports come under Federal law. Federal, I just do small stuff…conveyancing, magistrates

You defended Wayne

Ya and he got eight years

Yea but you did your best. I mean you can hold your head up high, he was the one who mucked up

Na Daryl I don’t know anything about this sort of stuff

But they can’t do this

Na maybe they can

Can’t

Look I’ll ring around and see what I can find

Good on ya Dennis

Eh, how is Wayne?

Good, yeh good. Behaving himself

Any word?

Na na they reckon he’s still a couple of years off

I’ll let you know



But Dad was never one to brig worries home. Even in the down times he’d still tell us funny stories about his day

Head on between a mini and a Vauxhall, ha ha ha

Dad also had a way of making everyone feel important

Go on Dale, go on, go on tell ‘em. Dale dug a hole

Like the time I dug a hole

Started the patio

Good on ya dal

And he’d complement Mum every single night o her cooking

Hello hello hello how’s this boys, woo woo. What’ll call this?

Chicken

It’s got something sprinkled on it

Seasoning

Seasoning, looks like everybody’s kicked a goal. How’re our backs feeling?

Steve did get those ergonometric chairs and Mum had already started prettying hers up. Dad placed a great deal of importance on meal times. He had a very strict rule. When the family starts to eat the television is definitely turned down. But as soon as we finished eating it’s a different story.

That was great

Dad. It’s seven thirty.

Alright, time for some fun

Dad reckons there’s only one show better than Hey Hey it’s Saturday and that’s the best of Hey Hey it’s Saturday. It made Dad laugh, and when Dad laughed his whole body joined him and we would too.

Ah gong him red, ha ha ha

It was funny how on the fun nights part of me got sad, cause I’d think about my big brother in prison and wonder what he was doing. Wayne always reckoned he was doin fine but I got the feeling that he was missing us more than he was letting on. It’ll be great when he comes home.

THE FUCKING PRINTERS JAMMED, I CLEANED THAT DRAW 3 FUCKING TIMES!

Nathan Schumacher gold

THE CASTLE

Dennis Denuto and that fucking paper jam brought me here.

Omg yes!! 😂😂

F3?? I CHANGED F3 THREE FUCKING TIMES!!

I'll be driving along by myself and think of that scene and burst out in laughter

The Castle,an Australian movie great,and Paul Kelly an Australian great,"tell em their dreamin"

Yes same! Heard it on the castle and have been looking like crazy for years. Its that bit where Darryl walks to Dennis's office.. so happy to have this song finally
