Tallulah
Allo Darlin'

On the drive from St. Lucia to Surfers (Paradise)

In my old university car

We had the windows down for our air-con

The door was so hot that you burned your arm

It was the tail end of a summer

And the heat washed in with the breeze

And you were searching for something to sing to


As the radio played another terrible song

But lucky for me, you found the tape with Tallulah on

And it's been a long time

Since I've seen all my old friends

But I really love my new friends

I feel I've known them a long while


Then last summer you wrote me a letter

On the back of a surf magazine

You said you didn't have any paper

And maybe you wondered what could have been

So I sent you a postcard from Berlin of a fat man eating a sausage

And hid the fact I was hiding


As the DJ played another terrible song

But lucky for us, we found a bar with the Maytals on

And it's been a long time

Since I've seen all my old friends

But I really love my new friends

I feel I've known them a long while


I'm wondering if I've already heard all the songs that'll mean something

And I'm wondering if I've already met all the people that'll mean something


But I find myself daydreaming of the places where we used to stay

Used to brush them away

St. Kilda, Coolangatta, Bondi Beach and Coogee Bay

I like the sound of their names


And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me

When I'm finished over here

If you're not finished with me
