East London Summer |
Dictated to by empty streets |
Chain stores and big machines |
The snow falls hard on soft debris |
But I know this town don’t envy me |
And the locals all seem nice enough |
But they cross streets I dare not walk |
I’ll drive the extra couple blocks |
And stop when I am told to stop |
And everyone in this shitty bar is just |
Trying to sink their teeth into everybody else |
Give me East London summer |
Give me North Melbourne summer |
Nothing make you feel more alive |
Than being surrounded by things that have recently died |
And on this goddamn bitter cold late November night |
The kids put on their coats to go and see the Christmas lights |
In the urban undeveloped wastelands of Michigan |
Sleet falls on my jacket, teeth are chattering again |
And the locals all drink and laugh, fight when they have drunk too much |
The kids look like they grew up knowing how to take a punch |
And the month-old front pages from local newspapers dance |
On the lonely winds around the empty lobbies of once grand buildings |
And everyone in this shitty bar is just |
Trying to sink their teeth into everybody else |
Give me East London summer |
Give me North Melbourne summer |
Let’s be anything, let’s be lovers, we’ll take care of one another |
Live like the people I looked up to in the time when I was happier |
Give me East London summer |
Give me North Melbourne summer |
And now I’m smoking weed in New York City |
In the land of happy-ever-afters and dreams come true |
I pass out piss drunk on the floor of a motel room |
Wake up shivering, thinking about you |
And I’m tired, I’m so tired |
And everyone in this shitty bar is just |
Trying to sink their teeth into everybody else |
Give me East London summer |
Give me North Melbourne summer |
Let’s be anything, let’s be lovers, we’ll take shots at one another |
Live like the people I looked up to in the time when I was happier |
Give me East London summer |
Give me North Melbourne summer |
