Four in the Morning - Second Hand Coat Lyrics

It's Sunday morning
And you left me this morning
To go buy a new second hand coat

It's a Melbourne winter
Sunny but bitter
And no one agrees on the vote

I better get up
Did you leave the heat on?
The city's coming down with a cold

The dogs are singing
Like they sing every morning
Singing old Buddy Holly tunes

I dreamt we didn't sleep a wink
Dreamt we were on the brink
I woke up broken, battered and bruised

I've never been happier
Though things could be better
I'm living on ibuprofen and the Blues

Mind yourself if you're going outside
Tell Jane I say hello, tell Jane I say goodbye
You're always late for Alice but that's no reason to cry
Just come home to me tonight

The more I learn
The more I think we're gonna burn
But that's something you already heard

And if the dogs
Are the worst that worry us
We might survive this worried world

And if it all goes to hell
We lose our jobs and our health
Will you die with me outside on the curb?

Mind yourself if you're going outside
Tell Jane I say hello, tell Jane I say goodbye
You're always late for Alice but that's no reason to cry
Just come home to me alright

I knew the house was empty
So I stood at the window
And thought about the burning of Rome

If summer never shows up
And the city splits it's seams
And the dogs tear at everyone's throats

Will you die beside me
Back by the evening
Wearing your new second hand coat?
Wearing your new second hand coat?
Wearing your new second hand coat?

Mind yourself if you're going outside
Tell Jane I say hello, tell Jane I say goodbye
You're always late for Alice but that's no reason to cry
Just come home to me tonight
