When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
And when we get home and play some didge

When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
And when we get home and play some didge

First of all I wanna say I don't even know why you act that way
My name is Maya and people always say
I act kinda strange like a dooba weh
I like fish and mango pickle
When I climb trees them feet them tickle
I'm broke this month, didn't pay rent
I had to jump town and my money's all spent
I had to jump town and my money's all spent

When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
And when we get home and play some didge

When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
And when we get home and play some didge

Rode the BMX, we walked through the bush
The boys fight to ride it but I just let them push
Keith stole an egg from a lil kookoo
Kept it safe in his mouth, while he danced the jookoo jookoo

There?s only one ocean that got fish left
One day we?ll have to be a really good chef
And I don?t mean us in the bush making meth
Boys, if you catch meth, you catch your death
When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick
Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits

When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
And when we get home and play some didge

When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
And when we get home and play some didge

    Here, I fixed it for you:

    Testing one Go, one, two, three, four

    Wilcannia Mob M.I.A. Morganics

    When it's really hot we go to the river and swim When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

    When it's really hot we go to the river and swim When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

    They call me Wally, this is where I'm at I wear my NRL baseball cap Parramatta's my team if you know what I mean To be the captain, that's my dream

    My name is Keith from Wilcannia Street I walk on stilts to read the beat When it crawls out, I shake a leg This is my rhyme and that's what I said

    First of all I wanna say I don't really know why you act that way My name is Maya and people always say I act kinda strange like a dooba weh I like fish and mango pickle When I climb trees, them feet then tickle I'm broke this month didn't pay rent I had to jump town and my money's all spent (all spent) I had to jump town and my money's all spent

    When we get hot, we go to the river and swim When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

    When we get hot, we go to the river and swim When we're goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

    We-we-we play some didge We-we-we play some didge We-we-we play some didge

    Well Colroy's here, have no fear All you old pigs better watch out for this bit And I'm here at the game and I'm almost ten I wanna be an actor like Jackie Chan

    Lendal is my name; I like to do back flips Listen to the words that come from my lips Jump off the bridge and I'll play the didge And when I catch a fish, I put it in the fridge

    My name is Buddy, I can't stand still Wilcannia to Dubbo to Broken Hill I've been movin' around from town to town And this is how I get down!

    Rode the BMX when we walked through the bush The boys fight to ride it, but I just let 'em push Keith stole an egg from a lil' cuckoo Kept it safe in his mouth, while he danced jookoo jookoo

    There's only one ocean that got fish left One day we'll have to be a really good chef And I don't mean us in the bush making meth Boys if you catch meth you catch your death When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits

    When it gets hot, we go to the river and swim When we goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high ,we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

    When it gets hot, we go to the river and swim When we goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

    When it gets hot, we go to the river and swim When we goin' fishin', we catchin' the bream When the river's high, we jump off the bridge And when we get home, we play some didge

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
