lyrics

I want a dog that drop no fur
Stay inside all night with her
I want the breeze without the cold
I want to be green in a four by four

I want the rose without the thorn
Understand this world I'm on
Sit around and waste no time
I want a lover that don't change her mind

Want to feel the rush without the fright
Dive into the starry night
I want to dream and not wake up
Don't want to try but I won't give up

I want the pay but not the job
Fortnight welfare don't you stop
Want to speak my mind and not offend
Walk a straight line and start again

I love the start but I don't stay
I miss the end of every play
I want the truth without the pain
Give me the summer with the winter rain
Give me the summer with the winter rain

I want to win without the race
All my life been second place
I'll have the drink without the meal
I want a city with a country feel
I want a city with a country feel
I want a city with a country feel
