The Illawarra
Was the most bitter goodbye
That you've ever known
They took you inside
Didn't even give back his coat
Heart-broke at the Illawarra
Well, at least there's liquor
Oooh-ooh down here at the Illawarra
Another drink just to make it clearer
Another line in the bathroom mirror
She's all alone even when you're close
'Cause you're more silent than the disco
Trading kisses for drinks
Just to see what you think
You're so cold
She's all alone she can't go home
Heart-broke at the Illawarra
At least there's liquor
Oooh-ooh down here at the Illawarra
Things always seem better
Down here at the Illawarra
Last night you were holding out for change
But it's all the same
Here we go again
Kill it with vodka and cocaine
He left you standing in the rain
So why do you feel ashamed?
I hope you didn't hesitate
To put him in his place
When he came back again
'Cause I know they're all the same
But if things haven't changed
Come find me babe
We're always in the same place
At the back of the Illawarra
Come commiserate
Past lover's mistakes
Things always seem better
No longer alone at the Illawarra
Together at the Illawarra
