[00:25.62] Having an argument with myself down Elizabeth Street
[00:32.78] Bumping into backpackers
[00:34.06] And struggling with the parameters
[00:35.98] And the basic construction of my feet
[00:39.95] Kicking beer cans and rubbish along the concrete
[00:46.93] Crossing the street and crossing galaxies
[00:49.31] Of taxis and backseats and drunk suites
[00:50.13]
[00:51.77] And half-Greeks
[00:54.13] Shut up, no, you shut up
[00:55.75] What's the matter, take a number, Buttercup
[00:57.65] Every time I hear you say, "Fuck it"
[00:59.37] I would remind you of the photo in your pocket
[01:01.13] How long's it been there? Two years, I bet
[01:02.88] Have a sniff, it smells like a cigarette
[01:04.67] When was the last time you smoked a cigarette?
[01:06.43] And more importantly, who did you smoke it with?
[01:07.45]
[01:08.45] Having an argument with myself down Victoria Street
[01:15.62] Passing the market
[01:16.67] Now the windows neon illuminating my path to defeat
[01:22.60] Your grinning face scaring a poor parakeet
[01:29.90] Your heavy breathing, scaring the wind
[01:32.70] So rich on Summer and so sweet
[01:37.03]
[01:37.43] Fuck you, no, you fuck you
[01:39.60] You didn't come here for nothing, did you?
[01:41.41] I know that's what you've been saying lately
[01:43.06] But let me draw attention to exhibit B
[01:44.91] Honeysuckle on a little plastic envelope
[01:46.57] And put the flower underneath a microscope
[01:48.42] See what's written on the petals
[01:50.32] Look closer, that's her initials
[01:54.08]
[01:55.08] And now I'm walking by Bev and Mick's
[01:58.09] Backpacker hostel on Victoria Street
[02:01.07] Where it's reggae night tonight
[02:02.09] And the backpackers are pouring out
[02:04.03] Like a tidal wave of vomit
[02:07.03] I have to sit down on the curbside
[02:09.06] And count the coins in my pocket
[02:11.02] See if I have enough cash to take a taxi home
[02:14.01] No, alright, yes, can we just try to figure this out?
[02:19.04] Can we just talk about this, please?
[02:21.05] Nah, I don't wanna talk to you
[02:23.08] Okay, you wanna keep fighting?
[02:24.04] Yeah, I wanna keep on fighting
[02:26.01] Alright, fair enough
[02:27.89] 1, 2, 3, here we go
[02:29.00]
[02:29.09] Having an argument with myself down Queensbury Street
[02:36.06] The lonely light from the town hall clock tower
[02:39.01] The chime of the bells striking
[02:41.09] 1, 2, 3
[02:43.02] And it took shape in the form of an image
[02:46.02] In the form of a living memory
[02:50.05] The way her shadow used to walk by your side
[02:54.05] In a different time in a different city
[02:58.02] Oh please, no, you oh please
[02:59.03] I wanna see you drop down on your knees
[03:01.03] Someone will see your hand waving farewell
[03:03.01] Why you're hittin' yourself, why you're hittin' yourself?
[03:05.01] He's to repeat this half twice at March
[03:07.01] First it's then it's farce
[03:08.08] But where did I find the source
[03:10.06] To make history of a love, a love like ours
[03:18.04] A love like ours
[03:40.09]
