Yarra Song Billy Bragg

There's a chill tonight on the Yarra
Winter is creeping in
While far away my loved ones
Wake up in England's spring

And although delights await me
All the way to Flinders Street
It's that little piece of heaven
With which they must compete

When The Saints take on The Magpies
Someday too far away
I barrack for St. Kilda
In that funny game they play
But my heart's not really in it
My mind wanders to a town
Where The Hammers sing "I'm forever blowing bubbles"
And the rain comes pouring down

Yes, it's still raining in England
Guess that's why I likе it here
Therе's a brolly in my hotel room
For when the skies aren't clear

'Cause it never rains in Sydney
And it never rains in Perth
Adelaide's a desert
And Brisbane's just scorched earth
