Tallulah

On a drive from St Lucia to Surfers

In my old university car

We had the windows down for our air con'

The door was so hot that you burned your arm

It was the tail end of a summer

And the heat washed in with the breeze

And you were searching for something to sing to

As the radio played another terrible song

But lucky for me, you found the tape with Tallulah on

And it's been a long time since I've seen all my old friends

But I really love my new friends, I feel I've known them a long while

Then last summer you wrote me a letter

On the back of a surf magazine

You said you didn't have any paper

And maybe you wondered what could have been

So I sent you a postcard from Berlin

Of a fat man eating a sausage

It hid the fact I was hiding

As the DJ played another terrible song

But lucky for us, we found a bar with the Maytals on

And it's been a long time since I've seen all my old friends

But I really love my new friends, I feel I've known them a long while

I'm wondering if I've already heard

All the songs that'll mean something

And I'm wondering if I've already met

All the people that'll mean something

But I find myself daydreaming

Of the places where we used to stay

We used to brush them away

St Kilda, Coolangatta

Bondi Beach and Coogee Bay

I like the sound of their names

And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me

When I'm finished over here, if you're not finished with me

And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me

When I'm finished over here, if you're not finished with me

And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me

When I'm finished over here, if you're not finished with me
