Cheating Heart
(Between Greymouth and Westport, February ’99)

D’you remember the Kobe earthquake?
…Your cheatin’ heart …
You must sleep soundly
You must have been really tired
…will make you weep …
D’you wave to each other in Japan?
…You’ll cry and cry …
D’you drink green tea?
…and try to sleep …
Does the gold-mine sign say “Open”?
…but sleep won’t come …
If they want a day off, they take it
…the whole night through …
You can go in there and watch them
If you want to
…Your cheatin’ heart …
I’ve been to Australia six times
…will tell on you …
We keep them in a cage up there
in Auckland
