Hey there’s a new wave and its going round the block It’s part of a new trend and we're here to make you hop A place with a big sound it’s never gonna stop It’s a part of the new wave and we’re taking it to the top to the top to the top to the top.......... Down in underground Hobart where the bands are shaping up Peak Body and Starklane, Betsy Blue and Atomic Deluxe Mum and Dad, All the Weathers, Treehouse and Ghost Drop Bu$ Money, Dolphin and the Pits and we’re takin it to the top to the top to the top to the top.......... It’s the sound of the city In the pubs and the halls we blast out And the venues we love to go to play (the Fern Tree Arts Hall) At the Brisbane and Poobar (that's where we go) Where all of the new bands play it It's a part of the new wave and we're taking it to the top to the top to the top It’s the noise of our city At the top of Kunanyi EDGE Radio's Aeron plays our songs (Aeron spins our tunes) At the Brisbane and Poobar (that's where we go) Where all of the new bands smash it It's a part of the new wave and we're taking it to the top to the top to the top to the top

Out of my apartment getting loaded on life Feelin’ hungry and you’re in a hole Punched in the face and a swollen eye But all I want is a Chicko roll Feel I’m stabbed feel I’m gutted inside ‘Cause the shop is shut and there’s nothing to buy Thinking of driving to Sandy Bay Too hungry man, it’s too far away Standing here feeling the rage I just want a potato cake All I know is that I might try All I want is a servo pie Servo pie, servo pie All I want is a servo pie Servo pie, servo pie Servo pie, servo pie Oh well, everything’s closed Including my nose ‘Specially the choice that I chose I’m stuck in the vortex of the window Out the pub as I stumble I can hear my tummy rumble Big and tasty what a creation I need to get to a service station They’re all closed – but I don’t care I can’t seem to find one anywhere And I know that I can’t lie All I want is a servo pie Servo pie, servo pie All I want is a servo pie Servo pie, servo pie Servo pie, servo pie

From the deep, they come out of their graves In the town of Werribee Miles around you can hear their call Seeking revenge on humanity Medical science had made them slaves Testing with nuclear chemistry Tritium pumping through their veins Atomic .............bovine .................deluxe Radioactive zombie cows they roam the streets at night Radioactive zombie cows they rise to win the fight Radioactive zombie cows come seeking their revenge Radioactive zombie cows prepare to meet your end In Werribee Wealthy investors and government need Selling the land for profit and greed Apartment blocks with a swimming pool Wait....for....the bull... Radioactive zombie cows they roam the streets at night Radioactive zombie cows they rise to win the fight Radioactive zombie cows come seeking their revenge Radioactive zombie cows prepare to meet your end In Werribee Bridge Radioactive (radioactive) Radioactive (radioactive) Radioactive (radioactive) Radioactive (radioactive) Radioactive zombie cows they roam the streets at night Radioactive zombie cows they rise to win the fight Science research has gone too far, now they seek revenge Radioactive zombie cows prepare to meet your end In Werribee

The nanobots, the nanobots, Invasion of the nanobots The nanobots, the nanobots, Invasion of the nanobots Entering to atmosphere, they rise to take control Infiltrate our daily lives, en capturing our souls The nanobots, the nanobots, Invasion of the nanobots The nanobots, the nanobots, Invasion of the nanobots

I hear a sound …….. In the alley at night Tins and bottles ……a worrying sight I turn around…….… what do I see? A long curved beak and 2 eyes ….…staring at me It’s a bin diver A Bankstown bin diver You’re a bin diver Bankstown bin diver Fish and chips……………....and rotting scraps Fat and plump……….…on bin juice crap The native fauna………….…is in our sauna This shouldn’t happen……Now they’re everywhere crappin’ It’s a bin diver A Bankstown bin diver You’re a bin diver Bankstown bin diver It’s a bin diver A Bankstown bin diver You’re a bin diver Bankstown bin diver Almost extinct……. just here and there The Ibis invasion……… is now everywhere Dumpster diving in Bankstown Mall Fairford road you can hear their call Dodging trucks and the traffic cones Football oval and Chapel Road It’s a bin diver A Bankstown bin diver You’re a bin diver Bankstown bin diver It’s a bin diver A Bankstown bin diver You’re a bin diver Bankstown bin diver
