The Illawarra

Was the most bitter goodbye That you've ever known They took you inside Didn't even give back his coat Heart-broke at the Illawarra Well, at least there's liquor Oooh-ooh down here at the Illawarra Another drink just to make it clearer Another line in the bathroom mirror She's all alone even when you're close 'Cause you're more silent than the disco Trading kisses for drinks Just to see what you think You're so cold She's all alone she can't go home Heart-broke at the Illawarra At least there's liquor Oooh-ooh down here at the Illawarra Things always seem better Down here at the Illawarra Last night you were holding out for change But it's all the same Here we go again Kill it with vodka and cocaine He left you standing in the rain So why do you feel ashamed? I hope you didn't hesitate To put him in his place When he came back again 'Cause I know they're all the same But if things haven't changed Come find me babe We're always in the same place At the back of the Illawarra Come commiserate Past lover's mistakes Things always seem better No longer alone at the Illawarra Together at the Illawarra
