Reckless Lyrics

Artist: Australian Crawl
Album: Reckless

Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the the pontoons bump and sway
I see the others reading, standing
As the Manly Ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay
Hear the Captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very Happy way to start the day
She don't like That kind of behaviour
She don't like That kind of behaviour

So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so

Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp too far away
A Russian sun beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree
She don't like That kind of behaviour
She don't like That kind of behaviour

So, throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Don't be so

The song you sing in Sydney town
by Vanya on 8/5/2008 8:44pm
"where the pontoons bump and sway" should be "spray"
by Some Bogan on 10/18/2008 11:14pm
This is a great song aye... I agree with the Russian sub and the bob and spray bit... Good work though thanks for putting these up :)

Should be Scott on the antarctic, i Think

Leonid Brezhnev was the President of the USSR when this magnificent song was released. Gorbachev was not even in the picture, as Leonid was followed by Chernenko and Andropov.

Clássicos são eternos. "Russian subs" for sure...
by Chrisman on 3/18/2009 1:28pm

Scott OF the Antarctic for sure

Alas! An excellent example of mindless and worthless prattle....Stupid song, stupid lyrics, stupid band!

b-b-b-b-bad to the bone, to the bone
by heathcliff on 2/14/2010 5:23am
i think "A Russian sun" should be "A Russian SUB" but i could be wrong
by Queenslander on 6/10/2010 11:12pm
Tony Strong... stupid man, stupid man, stupid man. Oh did I mention that you're stupid :) Aussie Rock Rocks.

Stalin was in charge when this was written.It refers to the Russian sub S-13 that sank the MV Wilhelm Gustloff in 1945.

by mrthomo on 1/28/2011 7:18am
my all time favriot song tonyis a fag and probley listen to deth emo shit if he dose no under stand real music dnt lesson to it at alll
by babyboomer on 2/23/2011 6:01am
I think the Russian sub line is a reference to the Cold War exploration of the Arctic by nuclear submarines. It fits with the other explorer references - lonely and dangerous expeditions in unmapped territory.
by Tony The Punching Bag on 2/28/2011 5:36am
Tony...Fuck YOU very much!
by Jimmy on 3/6/2011 3:11am
Isn't this missing a verse or two?
by LOLz Tony the drongo on 4/6/2011 3:48am
What you say would help if you actually use words in their right context. the your means a belonging. You meant You're as in You are. You argument will gain merit when you use the right context.
by Will Hawk on 5/30/2011 5:34am
I remember hearing this song as a teenager, and the very next day as I was waiting for the ferry, I remember 'pontoons bump and spray'. That set the scene perfectly, and was a fab description. It's a classic Aussie song. Tony Strong you are a total tosser. You would not know talent if it bit you on the arse.
by KW on 6/10/2011 4:07am
Hey, Tony Strong. Go listen to some Lady Gaga champ. LOL
by kw on 6/10/2011 4:23am
Better yet Tony, maybe some Bieber. You might be able to get his lyrics. "Baby, bay, bay, yeah..oooh"
by kw on 6/10/2011 4:23am

I dont think James & the boys are to fazed by wankers like Tony he must be spewing as they are rich & successful & hes got little man syndrome
by Dave on 8/21/2011 8:58am
Thanks for the Lyrics, Great Song
by Jason on 5/25/2012 3:12am
I think its Scott "on" the antartic not "of"
by RE Tony the drongo. on 6/2/2012 1:31am
God its the Aussie racist pricks like you we don't want in our country. Xenophobe. Let me guess you boycott Vegemite because it's got a Halal symbol on it. HAHA.
by Will on 9/6/2012 3:47pm
Almost 7 years ago i was in sydney with a girlfriend and we caught the ferry from manly to circular Quay, listening to this song with a earphone each! Many Many Thanks Australian Crawl! P.S She is now my wife.
by Lisa on 1/11/2013 12:19pm
It has so much more meaning with the correct punctuation! The conversation thread until this point is hilarious, Tony IS a tosser so flick off! ;-)
by Greggie on 5/3/2013 5:05am
I love the acoustic version of this classic Australian song - the rendition at the Apia Time of My Life Concert was fantastic too - Tony the Total Tosser has been quiet since his dopey comments were posted.
by Laughing on 5/21/2013 5:14am
All you idiots are no smarter than Tony appears. He has made a comment and wound all of you up very nicely! Why even respond? Can't believe how many responses to Tony instead of sharing our thoughts on this amazing song.
by glenn on 7/11/2013 4:06am
the structure of reckless is based on the poetry of keats, has no one else noticed that! it shows that Rayne did,nt write the song for idiots!
by Bill on 10/12/2013 2:57am
Will. That's an awesome story. And to everyone else, lets all take a well deserved crap on Tony Strong........ah, that feels better. :-)
by Barbara on 1/2/2014 6:01am
Is anyone here aware of the hidden message. The reference to throwing down guns and the isolation.
by Herb on 1/2/2014 7:53am
Love it or hate it, understand it or not, know the facts or be distant, it certainly brought all sorts of minds together here. Not a genuine reflection of the song but at least we're free to be at odds or together or anything in between and be able to wake the next morning and move on to what each of us do to be free.
by Steelo on 4/17/2014 4:00am
Five years on and Tony's still getting it in the neck ... awesome song
