lyrics

Too many days spent out in the sunshine,
Drinking the cheap red wine they left hanging from your clothesline.
You say...
Is causing the length of the years to grow shorter,
but there's '"nothing you can do about" so just let time waltz away.
Just gather yourself by the stroke of midnight
And let the dawn come sway...

Come on bottle baby don't let mornings make you cry.
Keep on returuning to your drunken lullabies.
And dance right through the evening, be the queen of your backyard
All by yourself under summer stars
Just count me out.

Too many night spent out in the moonlight,
Watching the nightbirds fly on by, out from the city to the riverside.
Calling in favours from the distance.
And tethering yourself to the heart of this town via community radio.
Tuning in intently (while the suns decending), to the university show.
Where they spin...

Come on bottle baby don't let mornings make you cry.
Keep on returuning to your drunken lullabies.
And dance right through the evening, be the queen of your backyard
All by yourself under summer stars
Just count me

Outside baby, they never knew that you want to be,
Flying so high with the weight of a child
over mountains you never could climb.

And inside baby, they never knew that you wanted to see,
every right that was turning out wrong
thrown away like that talent show song.

Come on bottle baby don't let mornings make you cry.
Keep on returuning to your drunken lullabies.
And dance right through the evening, be the queen of your backyard
All by yourself under summer stars
Just count me out.
