Song For Louis

Put me in your place again my friend

Lete me live there silent

Watching your past lives in sunny lanes

On bikes and in foreign bedrooms



We can do a swap forever if you like

Your clarity for my dramatics

And would I have to be asthmatic

That's a price I'd gladly pay



I take you often on the tram with me these days

Put the same song on repeat

They say the themes are often similar with us

From the same book we take out leaf



We share a lust for noise, the echoes in the din

We share alove of the ecstatic

But you can write about a spastic

I'm just a product of your skill



I swear we've seen the same things

In springtime, Autumn, Winter too

Glowing sparely on a Melbourne day

The bluestone in the dusky dew



So I don't really know how to thank you

But what with little that his is

For best laying my plans down for me

And giving it straight tothe kids



We can do a swap forever if you like

Your clarity for my dramatics

And would I have to be asthmatic

That's a price I'd gladly pay

I swear we've seen the same things

In springtime, Autumn, Winter too

Glowing sparely on a Melbourne day

The bluestone in the dusky dew
