Band On Every Corner Lyrics - Singles - Whitlams

Well there's a band on every corner 

But I'm not in one 

I hate three out of every four of them 

But I haven't got a gun 

I was ten hours asleep 

But I stayed in my room 

I forgot to remember 

What I wanted to do 

As the glare turns to twilight 

My thoughts turn to food 

Yeah and of what the hell happened 

To the girl in the nude 

Ah she gave me a pill 

She said it helped her in bed 

When I laid down beside her 

Couldn't even raise my head 

What a fool am I 

'Cause my dream was so bright 

But I'm drowning in a city 

With no saviour in sight 

Well this night I'll go walking 

Like the truth it's so near 

I'll be back I imagine 

To the boys and to the beer 

There's a hole in my belly 

I try and fill it with food 

So I order a pizza 

And the pizza maker is rude 

Lady in the jacket 

Is looking just how I feel 

So I sigh in my corner 

And I ask for the bill 

There's a band on every corner 

But I'm not in one 

I hate three out of every four of them 

But I haven't got a gun 

There's a band on every corner 

I only play in my room 

Where the filth is familiar 

And the piano's in tune 

What a fool am I 

'Cause my dream was so bright 

But I'm drowning in the city 

With no saviour in sight
