SYDNEY TOWN
Stevie J Mayer
I’ve been tryin’ so hard, to succeed in this town
But it’s just so big, it’s so big, it’s so big
I can see no hope, no hope at all
I go from Sydney Harbour, up to Centre Point and
I’m up so high but I can’t see, I can’t see,
I just can’t see, my home, where has it gone
Well I guess I’m stuck here down in Sydney Town
From Palm Beach down to the Quay
I only came here for a holiday
But I think I’m gonna stay
Think I’m gonna stay
From the Northern Beaches, to the Hills and the Shire
I think I might be, I might be, I might be
Falling in love, not sure, but I could be
I cruise down Oxford Street now and out to Bondi Beach yeah
Where there’s sun, and there’s sea, and there’s girls
And they’re all here for me
Alright, now you’ve got me
So I guess I’m stuck here down in Sydney Town
From Palm Beach down to the Quay
I only came here for a holiday
But I think I’m gonna stay
Think I’m gonna stay
But it’s alright, it’s alright, I won’t buck the system
It’s alright, it’s alright, I won’t rock the boat
And if the trains ain’t on time it’s alright
You won’t hear me complainin’
‘cos I’ve got my guitar and I’ll just sit here playin’
[INSTRUMENTAL]
So I guess I’m stuck here down in Sydney Town
From Palm Beach down to the Quay
I only came here for a holiday
But I think I’m gonna stay
Think I’m gonna stay
Yeah I think I’m gonna stay
I’m gonna stay
