《Quinella Holiday》歌词

[00:00:00] Quinella Holiday - Midnight Oil

[00:00:09] The bar was crowded in the arvo din

[00:00:13] And the voices got higher and higher

[00:00:16] For the man at the back with the tickets in

[00:00:19] His hat

[00:00:19] He would have to do more than aspire to

[00:00:29] A place with some light on the sand near a

[00:00:32] Beach

[00:00:33] A place near some green running water

[00:00:36] Place on the hill with a view of the sea

[00:00:39] And the cooking was done by his daughter

[00:00:53] If the quinella comes in today

[00:01:02] The day is late and the race is run

[00:01:06] A full weeks wages and a lot's been done

[00:01:23] In the final shout now as they call his name

[00:01:25] His tickets lie like scattered leaves out on that asphalt

[00:01:29] Plain

[00:01:36] If the quinella comes in today

[00:01:39] And if the quinella comes in today

[00:01:43] And if the quinella

[00:01:58] Looking around for the moment that's right

[00:02:02] Lottery life well the numbers are tight

[00:02:05] As they try one more pull on the handle too

[00:02:07] Late

[00:02:08] He thinks of what could be it sticks in his

[00:02:11] Throat

[00:02:12] If the quinella comes in today

[00:02:15] If the quinella comes in today

[00:02:19] If the quinella
