Shakespeare & North Hoyne

Between the little houses 
Of Shakespeare and North Hoyne 
For the first time alone 
And as I am wandering 
I take the time 
To look at the wooden staircase 

The rain pours down on me 
And it is cold and chilling 
And the coat I've just bought 
Is not such a good shelter 
I am drenched to the core 

So let this bar be my shelter 
Because it's got a roof 
And I could sit at this table 
Lit with a candle
And I will drink in order to warm me up 

On Western and Division 
Beneath garbage and crap 
The body of a dead cat 
Is bringing tears to my eyes 
She looks like sleeping 

I wouldn't have noticed it 
(Wouldn't have noticed it) 
If it wasn't that remarkable 
Laying on the ground 
I wouldn't have noticed it 
(Wouldn't have noticed it) 
If it wasn't that awful 
If it wasn't that painful
