Reckless
James Michael Reyne
James Reyne (Warner Chappell)
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and sway
All the others reading, standing
As the Manly ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay
Hear the captain blow his whistle
So long you've 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
Throw down your guns
Don't be so reckless
Throw down your guns
Like Scott in the Antarctic
Base camp so far away
Russian subs beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials on the tree
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
Throw down your guns
Don't you be so reckless
Throw down your guns
