I Remember Kirribilli Lyrics

Canberra's never lonelier or colder

Than when you feel the heartbreak of defeat

You'll never find a sympathetic shoulder

On any bureaucratic street

So when I must forgive or be forgiven

When all my best-laid plans have gone astray

I head down to the shores of Burley Griffin

And try to wash the pain away.

In wintertime, the water cuts you chilly

Walter dug it oh so deep

And I remember Kirribilli

The promise that he did not keep.

He looked me in the eye across the table

He looked at me and swore he'd step aside

I gave him my support and kept him stable

He looked me in the eye and lied

I dreamed that I was Placido Domingo

Ready for the spotlight and applause

But maybe I'll end up like Ernie Dingo

And vanish in "The Great Outdoors".Company B - I Remember Kirribilli - http://motolyrics.com/company-b/i-remember-kirribilli-lyrics.html

In wintertime, the water cuts you chilly

And I swear I see a ladt with a blade

And I remember Kirribilli

The promise that a friend once made.

I want to rule, I want to lead

I know just what the people need

I thought I had it guaranteed, but then

He threw me down in the stenches

Of the dank backbenches

And I never want to go back there again!

Time again for daring and defiance

Time to charge the throne and take the crown

And I won't need to iron-clad alliance

To go for gold and bring Old Silver down...

In wintertime, the water cuts you chilly

But it purifies my soul anew

And I remember Kirribilli

And I know now what I have to do,

I know now what I have to do.
