Waratah Street Songtext
von Mark Seymour

When you run into me
On Waratah Street
I won′t stare you down
I won't even speak
I′ve painted my face
I look like a freak
I'm always at home
I'm waiting
And everyone′s talking
And nobody′s listening
Everyone's busy
And nobody′s thinking
I've got some ideas
But I can′t stop drinking
And nobody's listening to me
Nobody′s listening to me
There's a house on the bend
On Waratah Street
And Matthew's my friend
He gardens with so much affection


He′s right on the money
He′s bent
He showed me the photos
And everyone's talking
And nobody′s listening
And everyone's busy
And nobody′s thinking
I've got some ideas
But I can′t stop drinking
And nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening to me
If you come looking
I′ll stop hiding
If we′re not talking
At least were not fighting
I'd go to pieces
If I was together I′d rattle
You'll never run into me
On Waratah Street
You won′t track me down
And we'll never meet
I′ve painted my face
I look like a freak
I'm always at home
I'm waiting
And everyone′s talking
And nobody′s listening
Everyone's busy
And nobody′s thinking
I've got some ideas
But I can′t stop drinking
And nobody's listening to me
Nobody′s listening to me
Nobody's listening to me
