lyrics

it took us ten years
to pay down half the house
that’s a lot of hours at the docks
it’s not my fault that i got eased
i know the kids need shoes and socks
but you think i don’t feel the squeeze

i’m going down to the corso with the boys
and we’re ready, yeah, we’re ready to get loose
(at the harbord beach hotel)
tonight i need something to take me away
from the mess i made of 18 darley rd

didn’t think this is how it ends
back in the day
you going west with our girls
back to auntie fay’s
she’ll give you the spare room
and the kids can share the lounge
but where am i supposed to stay

i’m going down to the corso with the boys
and we’re ready, yeah, we’re ready to have a fight
tonight i need something to take me away
from the mess i made of 18 darley rd

we’ve lost that sense of mystery
that rattled coins in our shorts
on picture night
and i know we’ve got kids to feed
but i’ve never passed the harbo without stopping for a bite

so much space between you and me
and i can’t get out to doonside without rego for the bike
now i’m thinking of a way to end this
staring out to sea
but i’ve never passed the harbo without staying for the night

i’m going down to the corso with the boys
and we’re ready, yeah, we’re ready to have a fight
tonight i need something to take me away
from the house that our love built that i tore down

baby won't you come with me
down to the harbo
