Lyrics Flame Trees - Cold Chisel

Kids out drivin' Saturday afternoon, just pass me by
I'm just savourin' familiar sights
We shared some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Time to book a room and stay tonight

Number one is to find some friends to say
You're doing well
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?
And number three is never say her name

And, oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within it's place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

And, oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cry
And I'm happy just to sit here, at a table with old friend's
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies (ohh)

And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love, near where the pianola stands
With a young local factory out-of-worker, just holding hands
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
(Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our) day?

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within it's place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within it's place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
