lyrics

I used to play hide and seek with my sister
But she could never be bothered to find me
But as I grew, until almost a woman
We would talk, she'd buy me alcohol
And I loved her
And she liked me too

Well I've got a secret tattoo
And I think that Linda would like it
But I know I know I know
Ma would hate it
Maybe...

But it's that night and we're gathered round
And I pull up my sleeve, there isn't a sound
Then mum goes to speak
But it comes out a laugh
And she tells me that she had wanted one too
Of a kangaroo

Well I've got a secret boy too
And I think that Linda would like him
But I know I know I know
I'm just not sure anymore
What ma would've thought

'Cause now she'll never meet him
And that makes me sad
But I don't think it'll last anyway
So it's not... not all that bad
It's not all that bad
