Hello Courtney.
Hi.
And your bandmates Dave and Bones.
Hello.
AKA the Courtney Barnett.
Yeah.
Courtney Barnett and the Courtney Barnett.
Family.
[E] First question, where'd you come up with the name?
Took ages.
Yeah.
Ages.
So you had this sort of moment of inspiration, you just knew that it was a song?
Yeah, I guess.
I worked on it for a long time, getting all the words together.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
I'm excited to hear this.
Courtney Barnett and the Courtney Barnett live in the studio this morning on Triple J.
This is History Eraser, when you're ready to go.
[G]
[A] [C] I got drunk and [A] fell asleep to [C] talk to sheets, but [A] luckily I [C] left the heater [D] on.
[A] And in [C] my dreams I [A] wrote the best song [C] that I've ever written, [A] can't remember [C] how it [D] goes.
[C] [A] I [C] stayed drunk and [A] fell awake and I [C] was high, staying [A] on a plane and [C] far away I heard you
[D] say you liked me.
[A] We [C] drifted to a party [A] cool, the [C] people went to arty [A] school.
They [C] made their paints by [D] mixing acid, [C] washing lemonade.
[A] [C] I'm praying [A] God he [C] will raise [A] the [C] lettuce on [D] the way [C] to heaven.
[A] I [C] found an [A] anthropound and made a bet [C] that if I [A] found a cigarette, [C] I'd drop it over [D] Mary.
[C] [A] Just [C] then a song comes [A] on, you can't [C] always get what you [A] want.
The rolling [C] stones are what we [D] split, our irony.
[C] [A] The [C] stones became the [A] moss and one song [C] in a fishing plot.
[A] The hipsters [C] made a mitten to the pot.
[A] We [C] drove by trash to there, [A] the yellow [C] straw replaced our [A] hair.
We laced their [C] dairy rhythm with the keyless people move.
[A] I'm [C] praying [A] God he [C] will raise the [A] lettuce [C] on the [D] way [C] to heaven.
[A] So [C] we only lived [A] once, so we [C] touched a little [A] tongue and instantly [C] I wanted to.
[A] I lost [C] my train of [A] thought and jumped aboard [C] the Epping as [A] the doors were [C] slowly closing on [Dm] the world.
[C] [A] I [C] touched on and [A] off and rubbed my [C] arm up against [A] yours, till the [C] inspector [D] inspected me.
[C] [A] The [C] lady in the [A] roof was living [C] proof that nothing [A] really ever [C] is exactly [D] as it [C] seems.
[A] I'm praying God he will raise the lettuce on [D] the way to [A] heaven.
We [C] caught the riverboat [A] downstream and [C] ended up beside [A] a team of [C] angry [D] footballers.
[C] I [A] [C] bet the ducks didn't [A] clue that we were [C] sucked against our [A] will into the [C] welcome doors of [D] the casino.
[A] We drank green [C] margaritas, [A] tantas with sweets and ingredients and we all went home as winners [D] of the night.
[A] She said, I guarantee we'll have more fun, drink till the moon becomes the sun, and in the taxi [Dm] home, I'll sing you a stringed [A] song.
I'm praying God he will raise the lettuce on [D] the way to heaven.
