michael waugh - dirty river lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a backpacker feelin’ homesick
wakin’ up on st kilda beach
there was a big night out at the espy
but there are bagels on acland street
there’s a tram rattlin’ into the city
there’s a jogger runnin’ ’round the tan
there’s a gutter that i spewed in once
when i was a younger man
from commision flats in richmond
to prahran where the money starts
there’s a dirty river runnin’ through her heart

[verse 2]
on the belgrave lawn, there are business suits
flowin’ out onto flinders street
there’s a coffee a+brewin’ in carlton
pullin’ beers down at the retreat
and there’s a deal goin’ down in braybrook
there’s a dealer makin’ k!llings at crown
there’s a primary school that my son went to
in the middle of clifton hill
from the ranges down to williamstown
from the bay to where it starts
there’s a dirty river runnin’ through her heart
[bridge]
they’re linin’ up for souva’s
drunk on brunswick street
there’s a busker at the bourke street mall
they’re crowdin’ ’round a mic’d+up didge
there’s a vigil for eurydice down at princes park
there’s a dirty river runnin’ through her heart

[verse 3]
they are prayin’ at st paul’s cathedral
and a mosque out in n0ble park
there’s a scream risin’ outta the mcg
where the afl faithful are
past the weary face of weary
an anzac’s marchin’ through
there’s a party out in templestowe
where i fell in love with you
from the treaty made by batman
for the beautiful birrarung marr
there’s a dirty river runnin’ through her heart

[verse 4]
through kulin nation country
the yarra is runnin’ still
my home stands on wurundjeri land
and i know it always will
though we’ve been far from melbourne
wherever we are
there’s a dirty river runnin’ through our hearts
there’s a dirty river runnin’
through her heart
