lyrics

lose a thousand dollars every day and i wouldn't have it any other way
make it back then some by the end of the week
and i've never shed a single tear
when i'm back on top by financial new year

don't call me no gambling man
i call the shots when i can
but i'm dreaming of a better land
somewhere east of eastlakes with my head in the sand

and the randwick bells are ringing
when we go down swinging
cause you know we’re lost in the head of the fight
until neither of us can see
we’re somewhere between maroubra and coogee

don't call me no gambling man
i call the shots when i can
but i'm dreaming of a better land
somewhere east east of eastlakes with my head in the sand

they always said that i'd go far
but we built this city on rock and toll roads and tar
no-one will water down my money tree
packer's building a casino just for me

don't call me no gambling man

Such a beautiful reimagining of a lovely MBV track. Makes me feel like I'm sitting alone in a small empty room on a grey cold morning during lockdown. Oh wait... that's what I'm doing! Ricardo Potoroo
