Testo Such A Beautiful Thing - Ian Moss
Testo della canzone Such A Beautiful Thing (Ian Moss), tratta dall'album Six Strings - 10th Anniversary Edition
I went out walking through the city centre
It happened just the other day
Sometimes the harbour in the winter
It blows a little luck my way
I stood around like John Miller
Waiting for my ship to come in
But when you're down on your last twenty dollar
You do a such a beautiful thing
I seen a girl of twelve
Sit and shoot herself higher than a national dream
And sleep it up just a spit away
From the tyres of a limousine
I may recall another world
Where money never had no sting
Right here she's a big girl now
The city's such a beautiful thing
And her eyes are as cold as a centrefold
Her mouth held come on down
Like a child conceived on New Year's Eve
She don't belong to anyone
You don't need to hold a loaded minute
To figure how the world goes round
You don't need to climb on anybody
To get a feel of what goes down
She could be on a colour TV
Teaching all the world to sing
Out here on a black and white pier
It ain't such a beautiful thing
I'm a northern territory man
The territory lives in me
And I fail to understand
The silly bloody things I see
I went out walking through the city centre
Thinking back to Alice Springs
Now this place is harder every winter
And home is such a beautiful thing
I went out walking through the city centre
It happened just the other day
Sometimes the harbour in the winter
It blows a little luck my way
I went out walking through the city centre
Thinking back to Alice Springs
Now this place is harder every winter
And home is such a beautiful thing
