Flame Trees - by Cold Chisel.----------------------------Written by Steve Prestwich/Don WalkerFrom "Twentieth Century"Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me byI'm just savouring familiar sightsWe shared some history, this town and IAnd I can't stop that long forgotton feeling of herTime to book a room and stay tonight.Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing wel..."After all this time you boys look just the same."Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels,And settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?".Number three is never say her name.And Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driverAnd there's nothing else could set fire to this townThere's no change, there's no pace,Everything within its placeJust makes it harder to believe that she won't be around.But Oh! Who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway?You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cryAnd I'm happy just to sit here, at a table with old friendsAnd see which one of us can tell the biggest lies.And there's a girl, she's falling in love, near where the pianola stands..With a young local factory auto-worker, just holding handsAnd I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay.Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our dayOh the flame trees will blind the weary driverand there's nothing else could set fire to this town.There's no change, there's no pace,Everything within its placeJust makes it harder to believe that she won't be around.Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driverand there's nothing else could set fire to this town.There's no change, there's no pace,Everything within its placeJust makes it harder to believe that she won't be around.------------------------------------
