Alright 03:01
Another day dawns cold and grey But I can't face another day Can't take another one of these Not like the last one, not again Been over worked and underpaid Another slave for a shitty wage Taken for granted I've been used up And abused here day by day And autumn leaves litter the ground I hear them crumple as I walk these empty streets And when I think I'm going down I hear your voice and then you help me to my feet And it's alright Punching the card in 9 -5 Doing what I can just to get by If not for you then I would Surely go insane but when I Hear your footsteps crossing the floor I know if I can't weather the storm You'll take my hand and dance Together in the rain and now there's Those autumn leaves litter the ground I hear them crumple as I walk these empty streets And when I think I'm going down I hear your voice and then you help me to my feet And it's alright

15 and sitting in my room I'm all alone and feeling bored I started skating with the Kid from down the street a couple doors Showed him Metallica and He gave me "Live at the Key Club" Landed my first kickflip in the Car park out behind Janalli pub And when I'm feeling melancholy Punk rock and popping ollies Skateboards and power chords will Help me make it through In my head and I am tripping 'till I go three sixty flipping Drink a couple of beers and then I Play a song or 2 Can't beat the feeling you get Bombing hills the wind blowing through my hair Or a Sunday arvo in the Garage making music my friends But I'm not Murtaugh and I'll Never be too old for this shit And I'm still dropping in I'm playing shows and Wrecking in the pit And when I'm feeling melancholy Punk rock and popping ollies Skateboards and power chords will Help me make it through In my head and I am tripping 'till I go 360 flipping Drink a couple of beers and then I Play a song or 2

Get Right 02:38
Saturday night and I'm feeling alright But I'm feeling the itch and I need to get right Only one cure when you're feeling like this I'm heading to a show to get me a fix I'm revved up pumped up heading to the city All the boys running wild and the girls look pretty I'm revved up pumped up heading to the city All the boys running wild and the girls look pretty With the rhythm pounding in my brain And the punk rock is coursing through my veins Only one thing is gonna sooth my soul And I'm drinking while the bands play rock and Rolling on down to my favorite club I'm heading to the bar and getting my shout All the bands are so hot and the beers are so cold All the weeks frustrations I'm letting 'em out Another weekend with good friends in the city All the boys running wild and the girls look pretty Another weekend with good friends in the city All the boys running wild and the girls look pretty With the rhythm pounding in my brain And the punk rock is coursing through my veins Only one thing is gonna sooth my soul And I'm drinking while the bands play rock and roll

Hey baby pack your things we'll sell your Grandma's diamond ring We're hitting the road and we're hitting it hard We're travelling fast we're travelling far Gonna take the highway cause it's my way All I see is the open sky I ran into trouble again but don't worry baby this ain't the end I'll tell you more when we're on the road We don't have all that long to go But to cut a long story short it's bad luck I brought Don't talk just pack your bags we just have time for one last fag Grab the money from beneath the bed There's no need to worry your pretty head and Jump start the god damn car Pray to God it fucking starts Windows down the wind at our backs Ain't no time for looking back now Tell you more why we gotta run just pay no attention to my gun Things went wrong for me at the store Now the cops are beating down my door Plan was simple nothing to it Roadside diner was an easy target Johnny crouched let out a shot a teacup smashed everyone stopped There in the door stood Mrs McIves she had her rifle by her side Had no choice it was us or them So I shot the old girl right through the head I'm not proud of what I've done but come on baby we gotta run It's dog eat dog in this crazy world Now we gotta get outta dodge and Jump start the god damn car Pray to God it fucking starts Windows down the wind at our backs Ain't no time for looking back now That's the truth no word of a lie But I won't let them take me alive Now I'm wanted for the murder But you've never looked prettier And I'll tell you just one thing No matter how much shit I go through If I have to be running I'd rather be running with you

I think this girls the one She's got looks that could stun Maybe we could have some fun Which is totally code for sex So we got to undressing For a marathon session Got to make a good impression And you know what happens next yeah Drift off into space My minds in another place So I don't dare look at her face Because she's just so fucking cute The look that's in her eyes And the feeling of her thighs She's an angel in disguise And I'm trying not to shoot Because if I blow this chance And yes that puns intended She'll kick me to the curb and then This session will have ended I think I love this girl so I Don't wanna go to fast Cause everybody knows That nice guys finish last yeah She pants and she gasps I feel her nails scratch As she arches her back And she cries out my name And I let out a moan As I let myself go And I'm feeling like a pro I'm awesome at this game Because I didn't blow this chance And yes that puns intended She's laying there in ecstasy and This session has ended I think I love this girl so I Didn't go to fast Cause everybody knows That nice guys finish last yeah

Never 06:54
I've been up I've been down I've been wrong and right Had the darkest days And the brightest nights Theres been times when the dice haven't rolled my way Dropped out bummed round and sat on my ass Took a little time before I chose my path But I'm here and I love the life I've made And I'm never never never never never gonna be the man You want me to And you're never ever ever ever ever gonna understand The things I do And I'm never never never never never gonna be the man You want me to And you're never ever ever ever ever gonna understand Got a fridge with some beer and a beautiful wife Got a decent job and I do alright I got a bass and I got rock and roll Why be something you don't wanna be I can live my life and still be me To get by you don't have to sell your soul And I'm never never never never never gonna be the man You want me to And you're never ever ever ever ever gonna understand The things I do And I'm never never never never never gonna be the man You want me to And you're never ever ever ever ever gonna understand

about

The first EP from That's The Last Straw, all recorded and "mixed/mastered" ( and we say that very loosely) by the band themselves what it lacks in quality, it makes up for in good honest fun. Which I think captures the band nicely

about

That's The Last Straw Sydney, Australia

Playing the simplest of 3 chord punk, what That's the Last Straw lack in technical riffage, they make up for with an enthusiasm for having a good time playing music.

Playing with some of Australia's finest bands over their on again/off again time as a band, they have even gotten to support Guttermouth. Nobody is sure how that happened
