One More Boring Night in Adelaide lyricsOn If You Don't Fight You Lose (1978) and The Essential Redgum (2011)
One More Boring Thursday Night in Adelaide (John Schumann) It’s one more boring Thursday night in Adelaide And it looks like everybody must have died There’s no one on the streets and nothing on TV So I think I’ll go and burn by TV guide Doesn’t Ernie Signley bring you down Don’t you think Mike Willesee’s a clown I think I’d like to go and hear some rock’n’roll music played So I’ll check the amusement pages of the paper Reggae bands doing one night stands at the Lion hotel and Arkaba And the girl by the bar thinks I’m going to take her home in my M.G. and Hangin’ out at discos brings you down Hangin’ out at discos brings you down Out on Anzac Highway in my rusty old F.B. And I’m looking for some food to take away Finger Lick’ kitten and a double fisted bunWell I chewed and spewed and so I’m here to say Orange laminex pizza bars bring you down Orange laminex pizza bars bring you down Adelaide, as we know is the city of the arts But the culture vultures still sit on the fence Before you put your bum on those plush red seats take a look in your backyard Don’t we need some changes in this town Art farty cities bring you down Don’t we need some changes in this town Before you put your bum on those plush red seats take a look in your backyard Don’t we need some changes in this town. |
