about

After a night in a Melbourne inner-city pub on Valentine's Day, we wrote this about how you can pretty much predict people's behaviour. Especially after a few beers.....

lyrics

Travis ride the train in here from work, got a tale to tell
He's goin' crazy for attention
Grand schemes & plans come by the million, got a tale to tell
Don't seem to shape up to anything

Travis talk too much & he makin' a mess of it
Travis talk too much 'cause he just like the rest of us

Kelly wants the boy who's out of reach, little psycho as well
He buys the gifts he's supposed to give
He's killin' time waiting for someone else to come home
She knows but it won't stop her, she knows but it won't stop her

Kelly drinks too much & she makin' a mess of it
Kelly drinks too much 'cause she just like the rest

Go home alone
Wake up alone
That's why we come here
Why do we come here?

Girls flock to James ten to the dozen, everyone for themselves
Hair just got out of bed again
He's showing all the right attention, everyone for themselves
They'll never get under his skin
They'll never get under him

Jimmy fucks too much & he makin' a mess of it
Jimmy fucks too much 'cause he's not like the rest

Go home alone
Wake up alone
That's why we come here
Why do we come here?
