Fraction Liquefaction Parody
The suburb of Parklands following the Magnitude 6.3 earthquake on February 22nd, 2011. Twenty second of February, in the province of Canterbury We got the shaking of our lives We've got rivers instead of roads, it was flat now it's full of holes And we're in silt up to our eyes There's a fraction liquefaction, there's a fraction liquefaction yeah Driving 'round is too much trouble, what you need is a great big shovel There's a fraction liquefaction yeah, oh yeah Broken sewers and broken pipes, no water we are in strife Worst part is perching over a hole Hundreds, hundreds of aftershocks, dirty undies and stinky socks Just cooking tea is a rigmarole There's a fraction liquefaction, there's a fraction liquefaction yeah Cars buried up to their axles, daily life is a great big hassle There's a fraction liquefaction yeah, oh yeah. Look for a man with a great big shovel, look for a woman who will lend a hand When it's rainy it turns to slush, when it's sunny it turns to dust Christchurch just needs a good steam clean Looking forward to normality, chokkie bikkie and cup of tea And running water in my latrine There's a fraction liquefaction, there's a fraction liquefaction yeah Neighbourhood is like a ghost town, don't touch anything if it's brown There's a fraction liquefaction yeah...
