Adelaide |
| The wisteria on the back verandah is still blooming |
| And all the great aunts are either insane or dead |
| Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning |
| We lived on the bend; |
| it was there I was raised and fed |
| Counting and running as I go |
| Down past the hedges all in a row |
| In Adelaide, Adelaide |
| Dad’s hands used to shake but I never knew he was dying |
| I was thirteen, I never dreamed he could fall |
| And all the great aunts were red in the eyes from crying |
| I rang the bells, I never felt nothing at all |
| All the king’s horses, all the king’s men |
| Cannot bring him back again |
| Find me a bar or a girl or guitar, now where do you go on a Saturday night? |
| I own this town, I spilled my wine at the bottom of the statue of Colonel Light |
| And the streets are so wide, everybody’s inside |
| Sitting in the same chairs they were sitting in last year |
| (This is my town!) |
| All the king’s horses, all the king’s men |
| Wouldn’t drag me back again |
| To Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide |
