Up To Brunswick

Emptiness and baggage led me to an aisle seat
Carry on into a bed above a busy fleet
There's a wealth of interest down alleys displayed
But it's barely out of reach
I was nowhere near the beach

So I went up to Brunswick just to say that I had done
I went up to Carlton just to catch a tram for fun
Every little street I crossed
Lost for where to be
Baby next time, come with me

Could have crossed the bridge to see the splendid gallery
Could have found a cafe for a local specialty
There's a wealth of interesting people that way
But it's windy and it's cold
I had no one's hand to hold

So I went up to Brunswick just to say that I had done
I went up to Carlton just to catch a tram for fun
Every little street I crossed
Lost for where to be
Baby next time, come with me

I bought a book
to read in bed
I'd rather read
your face instead
I bought a book
to read in bed
I'd rather read with you

So I went up to waitresses to ask for something new
I went up to buskers and I told them what to do
I went up the escalators in the central mall
I went up the grandstand and watched the players fall

I went up to Brunswick just to say that I had done
I went up to Carlton just to catch a tram for fun
Every little Little Street
Lost for where to be
Baby next time
Baby next time
Baby next time, come with me
