lyrics

Mary is working freelance in the back of her parents shed
The house is worth a million to a landlord who’s nearly dead
She can’t afford the dentist
She can’t get full time work
Somebody somewhere is trying to calculate her worth

She wants to be deluded
She wants it to be fair
She wants to be forgiven
But there’s no one there

Mary has been on the phone to centrelink for hours now
She feels the frantic Mozart is appropriate somehow
She wants to speak to a human but the machine just hangs up
They say that you’ll succeed if you just work hard enough

She wants to be deluded
She wants it to be fair
She wants to be forgiven
But there’s no one there

Ooooh oooh
It’s hard out there
Ooooh oooh
It’s cold out there
Ooooh oooh
I cannot bare
How some people get the lift
While others get the stairs

Mary’s mum is dying she doesn’t know what to do
She needs constant care for the pain she’s going through
Mary’s not just cash poor, she’s time poor too
They will have to sacrifice just to make it through

I want to be deluded
I want it to be fair
I want to be forgiven
But there’s no one there

Ooooh oooh
It’s hard out there
Ooooh oooh
It’s cold out there
Ooooh oooh
I cannot bare
How some people get the lift
While others get the stairs

Mary’s on her own now
She’s trying to meet a girl
Someone to help her tackle this cruel world
She’s sick of being lonely, she’s sick of being blue
We all want someone just to tell us what to do

This group of Melbourne mates carve out the best bits of intimate and uncharted, cosy and chaotic. With new music coming out throughout 2023 and a recent signing to local label Psychic Hysteria, it is fast becoming the year of the Porpoise. ... more
