A New Career in Newtown Lyrics by Paul Macadam

Macadam II

0

[Verse 1]
Got no job and I haven't left the house in days
At this point I'll take just about anything that pays
[Bridge 1]
When it breaks your heart to drive past roads where old friends once lived
You need to move out
The suburbs I grew up in have nothing more to give
I really think it's time for a new career in Newtown
[Verse 2]
You say it's sweet how he always knows when to make late night calls
But when you're on again and off again, you might as well not be on at all
[Bridge 2]
So you're in a band but sick of playing to the same familiar locals
You need a new sound
If I can't be your lead guitarist, can I at least sing back-up vocals?
Living through someone else's new career in Newtown
[End bit]
Not much changes in a school of art and rock
The musicians replace the jocks
And life goes on as normal
But I wanna go back in time
To be in pictures of your Year 10 formal
