lyrics

And I’ll tell you I don’t think that it is just quite the same,
With the potholes and the concrete and the drains
Why’d you move there
Driving west to Balmain, where the church hasn’t aged,
And the roads are reminiscent of a South Brisbane plane
Where you heading
And my social life has turned into a booming middle class,
With all the little ego's without boundaries
Why’d you go there
The us vs them mentality still as strong as bone,
With a handful of singers singing mournful tones
Wait a minute now

(we’re gonna head to the chorus, are you ready)

And when you’re done driving
You better get right off the road
Until you’ve decided
Who you’ll be, that’s good to know
That’s good to know
That’s good to know

There’s carbon on the table from an inefficient flame,
There’s an old wooden box you kept for years,
How you feeling
There’s a coffee on the staircase looking about 3 days old,
And half filled cups of pinot noir.
And backie bongs
And when you say it, when you say it, when you say it, when you say it all wrong.
You’ve decided, you’ve decided, you’ve decided you can do it no wrong.

(Oh and it’s worth repeating)

And when you’re done driving
You better get right off the road
Until you’ve decided
Who you’ll be, that’s good to know
That’s good to know
That’s good to know
That’s good to know
That’s good to know

And I’ll tell you I don’t think that it is just quite the same,
With the concrete, the potholes and all the coffee shops
Why’d you move here
Driving west to Balmain…
