Spring Me Out Of Caroline Springs, Caroline

Spring me out of Caroline Springs, Caroline

I had these dreams I'm in Soweto, around my neck a flaming tyre
I blame it all upon the Government's special grant for first home buyers
We started out like any couple, but she felt trapped and left me
I just sit here by the perimeter walls and wonder why

Spring me out of Caroline Springs, Caroline

We could run wild and free, nobody could tame us
Just you and me and my repayments, Caroline

My binge drinking was the problem, the towns folk gave me the cold shoulder
I never was much good at mixing, here they all drank burbon and cola
There's this silence now shes left me, just mozzies on the man made river
I miss birds singing in the morning, but theres no trees, so they don't live here

Spring me out of Caroline Springs, Caroline

Come rescue me
I'm only twenty minutes from the CBD
If you drive at 250
Caroline

I see you at the office printer I guess that you dont even know me
You work with the girls who think they're it, I'm with the boys in IT
They say you grew up on the golden mile, moved to Fitzroy just to slum it
Now the market value is soaring high, come where its guaranteed to plummet

Spring me out of Caroline Springs, Caroline

Spring me out of Caroline Springs, Caroline
Theres all these screaming kids, I'm ankle deep in crèches
Get me out of here before they're all teenagers, Caroline
Caroline, Caroline, please Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
