G9 = 353435
SOL9
Everybody used to say,
SOL9
That Adelaide was kind of scary,
SOL
But I never felt that way.
SOL9
And when you rode the Glenelg tram,
SOL9
It used to shake as it moved over,
SOL
Unmarked graves.
RE
But I just think,
LA
It's bad workmanship.
SOL
We're smoothing out the problems,
RE
As we go in Adelaide.
SOL
The ones that we can't solve,
RE
Then we're just burying.
SIm
If the city is like beef jerky,
MIm
As everyone always says.
SOL
Then we've added some salt,
LA
And we've...
A(throughout spoken part)
Guess we've, sort of, levelled it out...
Yeah...
Oh, no, no, no, we've taken out salt.
Why?
'Cause beef jerky is salty.
Quite salty.
Oh, okay.
Don't know why you'd want to have more salt.
It's a weird metaphor, that one.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a strange one.
SOL9
Everybody used to say,
SOL9
That the old Van Morrison ad was better,
SOL
But I never felt that way.
SOL9
I prefer my tourist dollars,
SOL9
To go towards some imitation,
SOL
Session guy.
RE
Doing a rip-off,
LA
Of a good song.
A(throughout spoken part)
I hate that!
I know, it's just cheap, isn't it?
Terrible!
Absolutely! And then I like when they change the melody just
enough so it's, like, a different song, but you know what
they're basically trying to rip off.
Yeah, exactly.
They should just write their own bloody song.
Yeah, I so agree.
SOL
We're smoothing out the problems,
RE
As we go in Adelaide.
SOL
We're scaling down the boringness,
RE
In an understated way.
SIm
If the city was like bread pudding,
MIm
As everyone always says.
SOL
Then we've added a few more raisins,
LA
And we've...
A(throughout spoken part)
Put in... nutmeg...
Nutmeg!
Yeah, nutmeg!
D'you put in nutmeg, in bread pudding?
Absolutely.
Really?
'Cause it's a spicy kind of dessert.
Right.
Yeah.
But not in a savoury way, like, it's not a chilly sort of...
No, no. It's just aromatic.
I've never understood that metaphor - a city like bread pudding.
SIm
(Robotic) Adelaide is still shit,
RE
Adelaide is still shit.
MIm
Adelaide is still shit,
SOL
Perth is much worse though.
SOL
We're smoothing out the problems,
RE
As we go in Adelaide.
SOL
We've knocked down Magic Mountain,
RE
And put flats up.
Good on ya.
SIm
If the city is like Bob Hope,
MIm
As everyone always said.
SOL
Well, let's not use that metaphor,
LA
'Cause that guy's dead.
(G D) (You get the idea)
We're smoothing out the problems...
We're smoothing out the problems...
We're smoothing out the problems...
... As we go in Adelaide.
... As we go in Adelaide.
... As we go in Adelaide.
We're smoothing out the problems...
We're smoothing out the problems...
We're smoothing out the problems...
... As we go.
... As we go.
Smooth...
Smooth...
Smooth...
End on D
Smooth...
