Whitlams - Up Against the Wall Lyrics
We'd go out at night, come home and fight like hellGood fights about big thingsYou know, just pushing around in the darkTo think, I was scared to open the boxNew love on the doorstep, isn't it funny? There's nothing on how it worksGo on, have a look insideYou won't know what you did without itWell, you slept, you met interesting peopleAnd you slept with themI'm up against the wall nowYeah, I'm up against the wallHotel room, a silent phoneA packet of fags, a bottle of wine, a suitcase you call your ownWhen the darkness comes from the inside outEven the barmen are pricksVitriol, the cigarettesA long night of thinking and the search for the best vignettesYeah, well, it was good, wasn't it?Then it got badSome say, love, it only comes once in a lifetimeWell, once is enough for meShe was one in a million, yeahSo there's five more, just in New South WalesThere's a show on the television nowA man in the jungle with monkeys, he's saying, we've come so farYeah, well, it's news to meI'd better go and evolve nowYeah, to think it was going so wellWe'd go out at night, come home and fight like hellGood fights about big thingsLike, "Who wrote the book on men?" Well, it was meYeah, I'm up against the wall nowYeah, I'm up against the wall nowSome say, love, it only comes once in a lifetimeWell, once is enough for meShe was one in a million, yeahSo there's five more, just in New South WalesWell, you slept, you met interesting peopleAnd you slept with themYeah, I'm up against the wall nowYeah, I'm up against the wall nowI'm afraid to say, I must fail herI must fail her, I must fail herI must fail herYou met interesting people and and you slept with themI'm up against the wall now, I'm up against the wall nowI'm afraid to say, I'm afraid to sayI'm afraid to say, I must fail herI'm really growin' old nowI'm really growin' old now
