O Sydney Lyrics by Jackie Marshall

2006

[Verse 1]
O Sydney I’m leaving you for my old home town
Yeah
But that with the booze in this blood
I could still burn this old port down
Oh yeah
And I wish I could be poured into a cleaner skin
Instead I’m catching aeroplanes
To escape my fresh-laid sins again
[Verse 2]
O Sydney I’m leaving you for my northern crown
Cause the blues in this blood is
Taking this Queen Of Whoring down
Oh yeah
Oh I wish I could be poured into cleaner skin
Maybe then you’d pick me up
You would take me IN
[Chorus]
Because this flying home all sardine-canned
To an empty seat off a taxi rank
Just makes me never wanna board
Live out my days
Gate 34
[Verse 3]
Oh I’d just keep pouring from my gilt hip-flask
Into a paper cup
Knowing now how easy it is
For me to choose to keep
Fucking up these things
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel so sickly blue with
Wishing I could be close to you and
Sometimes I make myself so sickly too
Wishing I could be born again
Virgin just for you
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Yes I wish I could be poured into unsullied bones
And just like the first time you would pick me up
And we would get it ON
[Tag]
You know it
Yes you do!
You know it
And I know it too!
You know it
You do
You know it
Yes you do
[Verse 5]
O Sydney I’m leaving you for my old home town
But that with the booze in this blood I could still burn this old port down
Oh yes
O Sydney I’m flying back to my old home town
Yes
But that with the blues in this blood I can barely get these thoughts down
