lyrics

I walked around the corner
To catch a number ten bus
I walked around the corner
There was no more to discuss
I took a ticket to the railway station
Said goodbye to "us"

I caught the train to J'ville
And cried all the way
Yeah, I caught the train to J'ville
Felt I could cry all day
Went into a church but
I found I could not pray

Phoned up my doctor
Said "Clare, I need a cure"
Phoned up my doctor
She sounded unsure
"It's not a disease, there's no script I can write,
You must endure"

So I visited my girlfriend
And we tore you apart
If you'd really been there
We'd have ripped out your heart
I realised at last you'd been no good for me
Right from the start

I made my way back home
With a heart of cold fire
I made my way back home
Knowing you are a liar
I walked in through the door and you said
"..."
I walked in through the door
And fell victim again to your desire

I walked around the corner
To catch a number ten bus
I walked around the corner
There was no more to discuss
I took a ticket to the Picton Ferry
I bought a ticket for us
