Lyrics Laura Mvula – Reckless

Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
All 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 sub 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 reckless

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 reckless
Throw down your guns, don’t be so reckless
Throw down your guns, don’t be so reckless

Don’t be so
Reckless
Don’t you be so
Reckless
