The Whitlams - I Was Alive lyrics

The night I met you were a f**ing disgrace Tripping over people falling flat on your face I thought I'd dance with you 'cause you wouldn't remember A year ago now yeah that was the end of December There's been blood, and there's been biting There's been Lizzie Taylor Richard Burton fighting It's all gone bad, that's alright 'Cause god I was alive God I was alive You found your schoolgirl French somewhere in the haze And I was gone by the middle of the very first phrase All's fair in love and war in the Eastern Suburbs I suppose So I emptied the contents of my pocket in your nose Well here's been blood, and there's been biting There's been drunk and disorderly fighting All down the street and through the night God I was alive God I was alive She don't know which one to buy Australian Shooter or Australian Bride I throw my head up into the sky Thank Dionysius for a little while I was alive Using up fast the last days of my youth Trying to see if you were coming from my hot tin roof And rolling down the highway looking like an evil child 40 hours later you'd be back in the wild There's been blood, biting, Lizzie and Richard, fighting It's all gone bad, but that's alright All down the street, all through the night And god I was alive
