[Verse 1]
So she came down to do some living
To drink big cups of wine in gardens 'round the city
And the mothers rock their babies gently to goodnight
She feels the cold come up through gaps in the floorboards
Alright, she's alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, when you work it out
I'm not one to let you down
Other people's energy
Keeps on draining me
[Chorus]
She lives in a place with a lean
She takes a long bath, drinking a cup of tea
Well, the weather in town's really not her thing
She's gonna go back home eventually
[Post-Chorus]
(Shе lives) She lives in a placе with a lean (She lives)
(She lives) She lives in a place with a lean (She lives)
[Verse 2]
"I guess I'm lost", she said, and I nodded
Passed that old spot we went, but it never seems to be rockin'
And the mothers start to look further out for a little lawn
She'll survive the storm, be like a palm tree in the wind
Wind getting strong
[Chorus]
She lives in a place with a lean
She takes a long bath, drinking a cup of tea
Well, the weather in town's really not her thing
She's gonna go back home eventually
[Post-Chorus]
(She lives) She lives in a place with a lean (She lives)
(She lives) She lives in a place with a lean (She lives)
[Bridge]
Ooh, when you work it out
I'm no one to let you down
Other people's energy
Just don't mesh with me
[Chorus]
She lives in a place with a lean
She takes a long bath, drinking a cup of tea
Well, the weather in town's really not her thing
She's gonna go back home eventually
[Post-Chorus]
(She lives) Drinking with my smoking friends
Smoking with my drinking friends
(She lives) Drinking with my smoking friends
Smoking through the night
(She lives) Drinking with my smoking friends
Smoking with my drinking friends
(She lives) Drinking with my smoking friends
Smoking through the night

“Cup of Tea…” is the most explicitly Melbourne song on the record. It has a lot of references to Melbourne things such as being cold and going for a walk. Around the time I wrote “Cup of Tea” I was listening to a lot of Stone Roses and I realised Ian Brown (Stone Roses’ singer) just kind of whispers...
