lyrics
so many pilgrims to that eastern mecca
find that it isn't the true promised land
debt and psychosis and breakups and crack
might lie across this expanse of snad
i'm glad that none of those fates befell you
i'm glad it was all you expected to find
i'm glad you found a boy and a job
and finally some peace of mind
when you come home there'll be
glitter and goon
and i'm sure that william st misses you too
i'll be over for new years
we'll dance and get pissed
we'll catch up on all of the fruity we've missed
(drunk choir)
you were always there to help me
when i found myself tattered and torn
i broke up with her in the morning
and you brought me vodka to drink on the lawn
when i disintegrated in the loungeroom
of the shittiest house of swanbourne
you came around with mandarins
to help me til i was reborn
when you come home there'll be
glitter and goon
and i'm sure that william st misses you too
i'll be over for new years
we'll dance and get pissed
we'll catch up on all of the fruity we've missed
(drunk choir)
