ALL THE HOTELS
All the hotels in Australia
There's a girl with a baby
Leans against a red car
And the sky is too blue
In this photograph
Sometimes she is smiling at you
And she's telling you
You'll never have a problem over here
And she's telling you
Life is so much simpler over here
And she's telling you
I love you but I'm staying over here
In all the hotels in Australia
Your problems were travelling with you
All the hotels in Australia
There's a couple at a bar
Looking out of place
And you can't see the sky
In this photograph
But you know that its blue
Life's smiling at you
In all the cinemas in Australia
They play the same film as back home
Another emotional drama
In a large house in winter
With heartfelt strings
Over every little thing
And she's telling you
You'll never have a problem over here
And she's telling you
The sky's always blue
The water's always clear
And she's telling you
I love you but I'm staying over here
In all the hotels in Australia
You're problems were travelling with you
And she's telling you
And she's telling you
And she's telling you
And she's telling you
So I sit in tacky bars
Like a gallery without art
Thinking about a girl
A baby and a car
And she's telling you
And she's telling you
And she's telling you
And she's telling you.
