lyrics

you know i used to be a big name
now i'm just a former host of the olympic games
i'm hiding in out in rockdale, i ain't returning your mail
you know i don't even speak to myself

yeah you know i'm on the come-up
even when i get knocked down
yeah you know i'm on the come-up
but you're always coming around
and i got dreams you can't measure
and i'm always under pressure
(when i'm riding through town)
and i got dreams you can't measure
and i'm always under pressure

maybe one day i'll come around
when i'm back on solid ground
and right now i'm floating debris
i'm mh-370, i'm going nowhere
i'm like 18c, even though they're coming for me
(but you know you're gonna see me
on the front page of the tele
monday week)

and i don't set foot in icebergs anymore
you know i'm as good as banned
since i threw him to the floor
they look and say "damo, wake up"
mate, i don't even sleep anymore
they say "where the bloody hell are ya?"
if i told you, you wouldn't believe me

like a beach with no swell
it's like living in hell
waking up in the fire
i sing along with the choir
stained with tears
i ain't been to vaucluse in three years
sydney's east is a no-fly-zone
for the planes of my dreams
in the skies i've known

Such a beautiful reimagining of a lovely MBV track. Makes me feel like I'm sitting alone in a small empty room on a grey cold morning during lockdown. Oh wait... that's what I'm doing! Ricardo Potoroo
