When I was young and wide-eyed I moved from the 'burbs on the other side of the continent to Sydney where soon I met the second great love of my life and for a while life was very sweet. And glamorous. She was from a showbiz family - her parents knew the Beatles - and their large house overlooking the harbour often hosted global A-listers (a number of whom are now, interestingly, behind bars). We dressed up most nights for dinner or an opening. Then I came home one evening and found her in bed with a bloke she met at a Penthouse magazine event. We tried to get back together afterwards but I couldn't recover from the hurt and she couldn't recover my trust.

I leaned heavily on _CNTRYSH.STY for this one.

Lyrics:
So you come around and tell me this time you wanna stay
And whatshisname I found you with he done left town today
Well see you in another life I’m getting outta here
Tho I can’t say that I won’t shed no tears

When I see you in the street I wonder where you’ll go
Could be in the gutter, or the queen of a Broadway show
You can count on this I won’t be seeing you through the years
Tho I can’t say that I won’t shed no tears

It’s true enough I loved you once and maybe I still do
And the things we did together still catch me unawares
But I can’t stand your cheating heart, so believe me we are through
Tho I can’t say that I won’t shed no tears

All your fancy family friends and all their fancy style
And all your moneyed showbiz types and their glittering careers
Well I do admit for a little while they had me all beguiled
So I can’t say that I won’t shed no tears

Your friends all tried to warn me that you’re one hard act to please
But stick around a while they said ‘cause wonders never cease
Well I stuck around and now I’m off to drown myself in beer
And I can’t say that I won’t shed no tears
