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

Comments/Interpretations
by Dave S on 6/17/2008 6:18am Classic. Thanks for the lyrics man.
by Andrew C on 6/22/2008 12:19am 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 Cam on 8/20/2008 8:21pm I think you'll find the correct lyrics are "A Russian 'sub' beneath the Arctic", given that it's a Gorbechev era song. Cheers from Australia.
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 :)
by cassssss on 11/4/2008 3:23am this is one of my all time faves such a classic
by baz on 12/3/2008 2:36pm great song.. viva australia
by mick on 12/21/2008 5:10pm Should be Scott on the antarctic, i Think
by David on 12/31/2008 5:41pm 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.
by CaiqueDoBrasil on 2/17/2009 4:46am Clássicos são eternos. "Russian subs" for sure...
by Chrisman on 3/18/2009 1:28pm Cool story David
by PeterGee on 5/14/2009 3:20am Scott OF the Antarctic for sure
by tony Strong on 7/18/2009 3:49am Alas! An excellent example of mindless and worthless prattle....Stupid song, stupid lyrics, stupid band!
by harry juhnke on 9/15/2009 3:33pm 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.
by Ngaere on 7/28/2010 9:49am Tony Strong - Are you Australian? From Sydney? The references conveying emptiness and isolation, capturing a moment: you may not like it, but it is truly classic. It's definitely Scott of the Antarctic (see Robert Falcon Scott).
by Westy on 8/16/2010 6:40am 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 Is it that hard to check facts? on 10/6/2010 8:39pm Depending on when it was actually written (1982? early 1983?), Brezhnev or Andropov would have been in charge, esp. given that Stalin died in the '50s, about 4 years before James Reyne was even born. As the General Secretary, Brezhnev was directly replaced by Andropov in Nov 1982. As for the Chairmen of the Presidium, that went from Brezhnev to Kuznetsov (acting, interim) to Andropov between Nov 1982 and mid 1983. Chernenko didn't enter the picture here till 1984.

I ask you, though I doubt you'll read this, what compels someone who hates a song to take the time to look it up, and talk sh!t about it. it tells me, Tony, you and others like you have problems, serious problems.. As for the song, yes it is "Like Scott on the Antarctic" and "Russian Sub beneath the Arctic" (I am playing the song right now as I type this)
by thisguy on 12/15/2010 9:09am this song is fucking sick mann! its seriously good man..freaky shit man!
by Weasel man on 12/16/2010 8:17pm Great great song, gets me in a good mood everytime and reminds me of wen I was younger playin cricket in the backyard dith dad. P.s Tony strong your a wanker. C'mon Aussie c'mon
by I hate Tony on 12/28/2010 7:22pm Tony is probably a terrorist. You poor poor loser.
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 tony the drongo on 2/23/2011 4:24am Tony, ram it up your arse sideways Your a total drongo with no sense of what the lyrics mean. Your probably one of those indonesian islamic pricks that have been posting crap on websites about anything australian, scumbag.
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 Grover Jones on 4/6/2011 10:26pm A wonderful song, and Reyne has done a new acoustic version which was just played on the ABC. We used to sing along: "Don't eat your breakfast, throw down your fork!"
by Brad and Stacey on 4/13/2011 9:18am Firstly, Tony...get fukd... you're a tool, could you write better metaphores...heres one for you - stay on the ferry coz we're launching an Aussie 'sub' this time to blow you sky high...like the game battleship hahaha. On a better note,this song rocks, all time Aussie great, only true Aussies would know exactly what James was meaning here, and therefore able to appreciate the finesse of what we have. great lyrics, hehe they make me feel 'appy'
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 Better yet Tony, maybe some Bieber. You might be able to get his lyrics. "Baby, baby, baby, yeah..oooh"
by fiona on 7/2/2011 7:27am 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
