Lyrics to Camperdown



Camperdown- Day after day and enjoy them I won't. If ever

there was bad luck it's in this room. The balcony stands

too far from the ground. If I fall it's not my fault that

it's not child proof. Months have gone by and nothing's

been moved. Fifty rooms. Identical. The balcony stands a

bit closer now. Still, no one bothered to make it child

proof. I know that it hates me, the whole damn tower. If

these walls could speak we'd argue for hours. How can I

sleep under this cover if I can't see an inch of colour?

This building's alive. No need to make amends its fine. I

know this time it will pay for what it did. Against the

skyline, God I swear I could have died. That's why this

time it will pay for what it did. Air conditioning. A

colour TV. A separate kitchen that's serviced daily. A

five minute walk to the royal hospital is pointless now

but comforting to know.
