G9
Everybody used to say,
G9That Adelaide was kind of scary,
But I never felt that way.
And when you rode the Glenelg tram,
G9It used to shake as it moved over,
GUnmarked graves.
D
But I just think,
It's bad workmanship.
We're smoothing out the problems,
DAs we go in Adelaide.
GThe ones that we can't solve,
Then we're just burying.
If the city is like beef jerky,
EmAs everyone always says.
GThen we've added some salt,
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.
G9
Everybody used to say,
That the old Van Morrison ad was better,
GBut I never felt that way.
G9
I prefer my tourist dollars,
G9To go towards some imitation,
Session guy.
Doing a rip-off,
AOf 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.
G
We're smoothing out the problems,
As we go in Adelaide.
GWe're scaling down the boringness,
DIn an understated way.
Bm
If the city was like bread pudding,
As everyone always says.
GThen we've added a few more raisins,
AAnd 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.
(Robotic) Adelaide is still shit,
DAdelaide is still shit.
EmAdelaide is still shit,
Perth is much worse though.
We're smoothing out the problems,
DAs we go in Adelaide.
GWe've knocked down Magic Mountain,
And put flats up.
Good on ya.
Bm
If the city is like Bob Hope,
EmAs everyone always said.
G
Well, let's not use that metaphor,
'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...
