Hurricane from Swaggerland by Bronwyn Eather

Hurricane

Four days on a bender
Three hits till the end
Fuel gauge on empty
Late night bars again
I got nothing but ambition
And a way to make it pay
I’ll pick a couple pockets
They’ll never spot the play

Set ‘em up I’ll smash ‘em down
Build ‘em up again
Push it to the limit
Spin it Hurricane

Faster mama faster
The sound of my next win
One more hit for luck and
Then one more magic spin
I could lose the boyfriend
Bring my son here to stay
Turn the music way up high and
Get out of the way

Set ‘em up I’ll smash ‘em down
I’ll build ‘em up again
Push it to the limit
Spin it Hurricane

I hate your crazy spinning wheels
Hate your stupid cards
Pull all the cherries in a row
My luck just needs a charge
I’m a reckless using mama
A beat-up no-good wife
But winning on this last hand
Could kick start a life

Set ‘em up I’ll smash ‘em down
Build ‘em up again
Push it to the limit
Spin it Hurricane

Take away the pain
Let me start again
I’m just your little sister
I’m your spinning Hurricane
