Lyrics

I don't remember the year
And I can't recall the street
But I see jacarandas
And feel hot concrete under my feet
As a northerly blows
Just like mum's hairdryer
With the garden hose
And the smell of distant fire
You told me all that we need
Is buried underneath the lemon tree
Peeling skin
And blistered toes
You held my hand tight
As we walked from the pool, back to your home
Reflections dance in car windows
Your dad's up the street
Curtains drawn but not quite closed
You told me all that we need
Is buried underneath the lemon tree
Christmas lights and drunken fights for hours
Timber and steel can make such an awful sound
Tar at our feet, above us the sun is burning
I guess some things are best left underground
The shops have all changed
The old drunks have died
The streets are so quiet
I don't recognise this place anymore
