lyrics

All the lights went out in suburbia heaven last night.
She moved to the city while he stayed at home water tight.
She got a job working coffee down on the high street.
She had a cool cool living in the hot summer heat.
And there was life in her, but it was driving him to despair.

And she said...
Oh, I know we had a good thing going on,
When sometimes a whole record aint as good as one song.
But i'm in love with the woman i've grown into, and this is where I let go.
We've been driving on the same worn tyres,
And the blowout was surely just up around the bend.

So he went straight to the station and moved out west
To find a life worth living by a Fremantle sunset
When all he ever wanted was a one way ticket back home.
While back in the city she was moving on
And they were driving on a dream, She Screamed,
"Girl, you are the lifeblood of this world to me".

Oh, I know we had a good thing going on,
But I can't fool you anymore by stringing you along
I am in love with a woman named Joan
And she's the best lover I've even known.
And we'd been driving on the same worn tyres,
And the blowout was surely just up around the bend.

A little while later they were talking on the phone.
He said,"I sometimes still think about your girl but trust I moved on.
When you moved to that city there was very little else for me to do,
But forget about you."

Oh, I know we had a good thing going on,
When sometimes a whole record aint as good as one song.
But seasons change and the loser gets laid.
There's no point in chasing a win you don't want.

And we'd been driving on the same worn tyres,
And the blowout was surely just up around the bend.
