Losin’ myself nightly
No-one’s tellin’ me just where you are
Got me like a fever
And movin’ like you’ve got too far
Used to shine so brightly
All is fadin’ now as time goes on
Just when I think I hear you
I look around and you’ll be gone

You got this thing for leavin’
Just as I’m about to really know someone
I’d like to help you with your searchin’
Don’t you know you’re not the only one

Hangin’ all alone
With your best kept lies
Say you’re comin’ home
Give it one more try

You let me know discretely
I ain’t nothin’ when you’re not with me
Once I’d have to call ya
Now all that’s left’s a mystery
Sayin’ goodbyes only
Gonna leave me wonderin’ endlessly
Were you really here
Or someone I am
Yet to see

Once I smoked a Danneman cigar
Drove a foreign car
Baby that was years ago
I left it all behind
Had a friend, I heard she died
On a needle she was crucified
Baby that was years ago
I left it all behind for my

Cheap wine and a three-day growth
Cheap wine and a three-day growth
Come-on, come-on, come-on

I don’t mind takin’ charity
From those that I despise
I don’t really need your love
Baby you can shout at me
But you can’t meet my eyes
I don’t really need your love, I got my

Cheap wine and a three-day growth
Cheap wine and a three-day growth
Come-on, come-on, come-on

Sitting on the beach drinkin’ rocket fuels Oh Yeah!
Spent the whole night breakin’ all the rules Oh Yeah!
Mending every minute of the day before
Watching the ocean, watching the shore
Watching the sunrise, and thinkin’ there could never be more
Never be more
Anytime you want to find me
I ain’t got a telephone
I’m another world away
But I always feel at home, with my
Cheap wine and a three-day growth . . .

Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
One nurse to hold her
One nurse to wheel her down
The corridors of heeling
And I’ve been trying
But she’s crying like a refugee

Loves me like a sister
Loves me like an only child
Loves me like a sister
Loves me like an only child
She’s my connection
I’ll hold on
And never, never, never let her down
Cause she’s alone
And she loves me like an only child

Suffer little children
Send that little child to me
All day the doctor
Handles his responsibility

Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
She’s my connection
I’ll hold on
And never, never, never let her down
Cause she’s alone
And she’s crying like a refugee

They’re calling time for exercise
Round her Majesty’s hotel
The maid’ll hose the room out
When I’m gone
I never knew such luxury
Before my verdict fell
Four walls, washbasin, prison bed

Well the Bathurst riots ended
When they clubbed the rebels down
And in every congregation
There was silence
You can hear the Angels singin’
When Christmas comes around
Four walls, washbasin, prison bed

I love to march while some Nazi calls the time
Who’d wanna go home

I can’t see
I can’t hear
They’ve burnt out all the feeling
I’ve never been so crazy
And it’s just my second year
Four walls, washbasin, prison bed

Every night when I get home
I settle down to prime time limbo
When all the boys are gathered around
Shouting Ita’a on TV
And though the roaches are thick on the ground
Somebody goes to close my window
Keep the noise of the city down
Get a dose of integrity

Every week, in every home
She got wholesome news for the family
I believe, I believe, in what she says
Yes I do
I believe, I believe, at the end of the day
Her magazine’ll get me through

Ita’s tongue never touches her lips
She could always be my godmother
And though the desk-top hides her hips
My imagination’s strong
She’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
I’d like to take her out to dinner
But when I think about the places I’ve been
I’d probably hold my fork all wrong

Every day and every night
She’s the only one we can depend upon
I believe, I believe, in what she says
Yes I do
I believe, I believe, at the end of the day
Her magazine’ll get me through

To every housewife through the land
There is no-one else they can depend upon
How could I not believe, when Ita tells me too
