Song Description

A song which feels like self destruction.

Lyrics

There's all these stony faced and solemn
public servants at the Olims
they're drinking whiskey, skulling beer
ingesting pain
and i'm heading down the avenue
where the junky flats stand proud
and the oldest buildings leave
without remains
there's booner cars and pedestrians
fighting over Williams Street
there's women wearing nothing
but their chains
there's a bunch of sirens screaming
and the groovers they're all dreaming
and the suburban kids are shaking off
their shame

(chorus) and I don't wanna change the world no more
and I don't want you to be my girl, no more
and I don't want to change the world no more
and I don't want you to be my girl no more

I'm swimming in the sea
where gangs of children flee
on a saturday night when things
get rough
oh baby life is one big show
it's a fine line we toe
between illusion
and make believe
i'm sitting in your seat
your black jacket torn and beat
i want you and me
to believe
that you know god is free
and he roams this city
his got tidal waves and
a magic bow

(chorus)

You can rub my dirty feet
I lie and I cheat
sometimes i forget
my own name
there's a 22 on the stove
there's a bill in my grey purse
someone call a nurse
right now
coz this girl with golden streaks
she came in from the streets
she's massaging my soul
with a glove
I got lost in kings cross
where my body somehow got lost
and i'm born again
and i'm in love
