Footscray (Bonus Track)
I ran for the train today
I made it through those metal doors as they were closing on my face
And I smiled in relief at the people in their seats
Like a runner from Chariots of Fire
I went to the shops today
I watched the people as they struggled with the self-service to pay
And a man in front of me who's worked for years as an MD
Calls the sixteen-year-old check out girl to come
To help him scan a box of condoms
And I didn't think about you once
I paid for my things and I just kept going
As long as I keep my mind
I won't be ever alone again
I went to a film today
I sat front and centre by myself in a romantic comedy
But the thing that you don't see after the credits leave the screen
Is that the couple break up after like a week
'Cause who would want to live that happily?
And I didn't think about you once
I walked to the train and I just kept going
As long as I keep my mind
I won't be ever alone again
Ever alone again, ever alone again
I saw all my friends today
We picked up our guitars and we pretended we could play
And we're all kind of dumb and we're all kind of fucked up
But I wouldn't want it any other way
Not for all the tea in China, not for all the shitty coffee in Footscray
I made it through those metal doors as they were closing on my face
And I smiled in relief at the people in their seats
Like a runner from Chariots of Fire
I went to the shops today
I watched the people as they struggled with the self-service to pay
And a man in front of me who's worked for years as an MD
Calls the sixteen-year-old check out girl to come
To help him scan a box of condoms
And I didn't think about you once
I paid for my things and I just kept going
As long as I keep my mind
I won't be ever alone again
I went to a film today
I sat front and centre by myself in a romantic comedy
But the thing that you don't see after the credits leave the screen
Is that the couple break up after like a week
'Cause who would want to live that happily?
And I didn't think about you once
I walked to the train and I just kept going
As long as I keep my mind
I won't be ever alone again
Ever alone again, ever alone again
I saw all my friends today
We picked up our guitars and we pretended we could play
And we're all kind of dumb and we're all kind of fucked up
But I wouldn't want it any other way
Not for all the tea in China, not for all the shitty coffee in Footscray
