Southern Suburbs

[Chorus]
Can I be your lover
In the Southern Suburbs?
I wanna run for cover
Under the canopy
Can I please come over
In my green Land Rover?
You're like a bossa nova
Playing in the heart of me

[Verse 1]
Fill a bowl with roses
When evening closes
In on my dreams
Come and cool my forehead
And put me in my bed
I feel feverish

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's not the truth
It's only me and only you
But it's an endless fall I'm falling
And I can only heed my calling

[Chorus]
Can I be your lover
In the Southern Suburbs?
I wanna run for cover
Under the canopy
Can I please come over
In my green Land Rover?
You're like a bossa nova
Playing in the heart of me

[Verse 2]
I could hear you coming
You were a hummingbird, hovering
I think you're so pretty
Not far from the city
In our Eden

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's not the truth
It's only me and only you
But it's an endless fall I'm falling
And I can only heed my calling

[Bridge]
You keep me hanging tight
Suspended like an epiphyte
And I won't let go
I know that I'm right
My love don't try to calm me down
Don't calm me down
Calm me down
I'll calm down

[Chorus] [x2]
Can I be your lover
In the Southern Suburbs?
I wanna run for cover
Under the canopy
Can I please come over
In my green Land Rover?
You're like a bossa nova
Playing in the heart of me
