Whitlams - I Was Alive lyrics

rate me

The night I met you were a fucking disgrace

Tripping over people falling flat on your face

I thought I'd dance with you ‘cause you wouldn't remember

A year ago now yeah that was the end of December

There's been blood, and there's been biting

There's been Lizzie Taylor Richard Burton fighting

It's all gone bad, that's alright

‘Cause god I was alive

God I was alive

You found your schoolgirl French somewhere in the haze

And I was gone by the middle of the very first phrase

All's fair in love and war in the Eastern Suburbs I suppose

So I emptied the contents of my pocket in your nose

Well here's been blood, and there's been biting

There's been drunk and disorderly fighting

All down the street and through the night

God I was alive

God I was alive

She don't know which one to buy

Australian Shooter or Australian Bride

I throw my head up into the sky

Thank Dionysius for a little while I was alive

Using up fast the last days of my youth

Trying to see if you were coming from my hot tin roof

And rolling down the highway looking like an evil child

40 hours later you'd be back in the wild

There's been blood, biting, Lizzie and Richard, fighting

It's all gone bad, but that's alright

All down the street, all through the night

And god I was alive
