														   We were both 18 the year that we
met

 I was slighty older but not by much

 One look at you and I knew that was it

 And your voice sounded like an angel above

 

 One look at me you thought I was odd

 Wearing those clothes in the Kimberley heat

 Blundstone boots, cowboy hat, flannelette

 And denim overcoat all the way down to my
feet

 

 When your sister asked me to join up with you

 You nearly fainted with shock but you hid it
well

 what the hell are you doing?

 you shouted when I left

 I was singing all the way back to my hotel

 

 Headed off from Broom

 Travelled through the Kimberley

 Derby, Fitzroy, a night in Halls Creek

 Wyndham, Kunnunrra, Darwin we stayed for a
while

 Then we hit the coast near Townsville on the
other side

 Christmas in Cairns didnt have nowhere to go

 Busking on the streets just to get a feed

 Being kept up all night by the lovers on the top
bunk

 At a seedy backpackers called Rapture of the
Deep

 

 Now plenty has happened since those early
days

 Met a lot of people, been a lot of places

 Many a night in friends and relatives beds

 And God bless the lot of you that put us up and
fed us

 Played to crowds of thousands, played to one or
two

 Played in festivals and pubs, loved and hated
what we do

 but looking back now I wouldnt trade but

 one of the memories weve made in the last eight
years

 and though there were times we didnt get
along

 I can honesty say I love the both of you

 

 Now you're living in Sydney in some dingy
room

 In a house full of strangers on Ramsgate
avenue

 Paying twice as much as what the damn things
worth

 Working in the daytime just to make it though

 You got your arms to your elbows in the sink at
some

 Place cleaning pots and pans, cups and
saucers,

 Knives and forks and plates

 Its a far cry, from the life that we knew

 Travelling around the country in a campervan

 Playing songs, singing with your sister and
you

 Its too late to go back there again
