IAN HUNTER lyrics : "23a, Swan Hill"

(Ian hunter)

(Transcribed by justin purington; corrections by colin ford)


Wrote this poem
Called "The Floods Roll On"

He said, "This ain't yours,
Where'd you get it from?"
You must have stole it from a book,

Oh yeah
You must have stole it from a book.
'Cause you ain't frail

You ain't beautiful,
And I don't fancy you
At all.


You'd be a ruin
If looks could kill

23A Swan Hill

Stiff with rage

Screaming at the sky
Innocence breaks
Says she wants to die

I'm $$#uming I'm alive
Oh yeah
I'm $$#uming I'm alive

She pushes and she pulls
My legs go weak
In fascinating terror


The whole world moves
And I'm standing still

In 23A Swan Hill
And it's always raining
And you never ask why

You never give yourself a shot
You just sit and watch your life go by


Kicking stones
At a still life
Want to pull it down

I wanna smash it!
There must be some way out here
There must be some way out here

This ain't right
There must be more to life
Than breaking and entering

Doing people's heads in
Alcohol, nicotine
Wondering what I might have been


You would be a ruin
If looks could kill

23A Swan Hill
And the whole world moves
And I'm standing still

In 23A Swan Hill

And I will

And I will
And I will
And I will

In 23A Swan Hill
(Repeat and fade)
