Footscray Station - Camp Cope

As you kissed me under the influence that night

It was Christmas Eve

You said to me that I was the strangest creature

That you had ever seen

We made love on dirty laundry, awkwardly

Listening to David Bowie

And you closed your eyes

And I said goodbye

And all my life, I’d never heard a man

That can make a guitar sound like the way you can

Oh, I saw a cross on the wall

Found myself in St. Vincent’s Hospital

Screaming, «I don’t wanna die in this place

Don’t wanna leave this world in such a state»

I always knew it was never my fate

'Cause the only constant we’ve ever known has been change

And our house got robbed again

They stole Tom’s bike and a GPS

And I’m running home again

From Footscray Station

And don’t bother stealing my wallet

Because I’m still earning minimum wage

And don’t even bother stealing my phone

Because the screen’s cracked anyway

And everything I ever cared for before

Was lost in the fire so long ago

And I moved away from home

Ended up outside Franco Cozzo

When you closed the door behind you

It sounded like you couldn’t wait to leave

Well, I know I’m not that stupid

Please don’t try to patronise me

Now you’ve made your bed

Now let her fuck you up in it

And fuck you over in it

And fuck you around in it

All over and over and over

And over again

Now there’s blood on Scott Morrison’s hands

There’s a rally in the city if you want to meet there

And I’m running as fast as I can

To Footscray Station

The sky is stained by the city

Yeah, it’s not pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves

Oh, you know that the sky is stained by the city

Yeah, it’s not pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves

And our house got robbed again

They stole your phone and the cigarettes

From our cozy little nest near Footscray Station

Well, the walls are paper-thin

And the trucks are loud, so I can sing

Well, I want to be here more than anything

And then there’s you

And lentils too
