Remember that New Year’s Eve
We were frightened by a firework?
You could not believe the fuss I made
I should have laughed it off
I should have left it lying
I did not receive much sympathy
Remember that we were poor
Though so young as not to notice
We could ill-afford to paint the town
You had your father’s charm
And thus your mother’s Volvo
It wasn’t long before you drove me home
It took until October
To win you over
Remember that New Year’s Eve
We were frightened by a firework?
When I’d watched you leave, the fuss I made
I made myself calm down
And I made myself a promise:
I would not conceive of taking no for an answer
Though you kept me guessing and your distance
Were it not for my persistence
We would never have been lovers
You kept your distance and me guessing
Finally acquiescing only after I’d discovered
You kept the things I sent you
The lengths I went to
Great lengths...

You and I have got a postpak relationship
It's a tale of two cities
Have passed between you and I and Melbourne and Sydney
Two weeks 'till your train ...
Every second Saturday it's off to Wormwood Scrubs
To sit within six inches of the man she loves
The visit's twenty minutes
But it's a whole day on the...
There’s a song that I hear
When I’m under the sea
There’s a song that I hear
When I’m half a world away
When it’s hot I can stay down here a lot
Think...
It's a lonely, lonely, lonely night
It's a lonely, lonely, lonely night
I need a little distraction to come along
A little distraction, and you're the...
Good Friday and I'm miles away
And missing you already
From a backyard in Balmain
To the post office and back again
I bought a postcard
I'm getting cl...
Alone tonight
I’d rather be by your side
As I drift out to sea
I think I should be in another place
Closer to the lips on your face
But now I’m even...
