ghostwriters (australian band) - wrong side of the river lyrics

gather round my drunken unbelievers
batten down the hatchbacks, come inside
we’ll have us all some laughs and tell some stories
saddle up the barstools
come and take a ride
you may have come from bitter disappointment
you may have come as i did from afar
i thought i saw with pure and crystal vision
from the tip of cupid’s arrow
to the bottom of a jar

come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river
come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river

you may think, “christ, another hard luck story…”
you may say “he’s a loser,” but you’re wrong
i simply packed up all of my excuses
i gathered up my heartaches
i wrapped ’em in a bundle
i tied ’em to a brick
and then i put ’em in this song, yeah

come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river
come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river
seven summers gone the world exploded
i was staring out a window in chalk farm
listening to the heater pipes eroding
huddled round the radio
ignoring the alarm
then all at once a siren overtook me
and shook me from my slumber with a song
that offered me salvation when it took me
to the place that i was born in
to the place where i belong

come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river
come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river

when every day the sun beats down upon you
and every night the heavens open wide
when all fair weather friends are driven from you
if you ever need an ally
solid at your side
follow down the hillside to the valley
look to where the water meets the land
if all the slaves of hollywood desert you
trust your heart’s desire
offer me your hand
come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river
come along down with me
to the wrong side of the river
wrong side of the river
