Tallulah Songtext
von Allo Darlin’

On the drive from Salish to Surfers
In my old university car
We had the windows down for our air con
The door was so hot that you burned your arm
It was the tail end of the summer
And the heat washed in with the breeze

And you were searching for something to sing to
As the radio played
Another terrible song
But lucky for me
You found a tape with Tallulah on

And it′s been a long time
Since I've seen all my old friends
But I really love my new friends
I feel I′ve known them a long while


Then last summer you wrote me a letter
On the back of a surf magazine
You said you didn't have any paper
And maybe you wondered what could have been
So I sent you a postcard from Berlin
Of a fat man eating a sausage

It hid the fact I was hiding
As the DJ played
Another terrible song
But lucky for us
We found a bar with the Maytals on

And it's been a long time
Since I′ve seen all my old friends
But I really love my new friends
I feel I′ve known them a long while

I'm wondering if
I′ve already heard
All the songs that'll mean something
And I′m wondering if
I've already met
All the people that′ll mean something

But I find myself daydreaming
Of the places where we used to stay
I used to brush them away


St Kilda, Coolangatta
Bondi Beach and Coogee Bay
I like the sound of their names
And I wonder if you
Would want to go there with me
When I'm finished over here
If you're not finished with me

And I wonder if you
Would want to go there with me
When I′m finished over here
If you′re not finished with me
And I wonder if you
Would want to go there with me
When I'm finished over here
If you′re not finished with me
