Chris Wilkie - Coogee Lyrics

Terracotta moments as the bird begins to land
Plaster Paris pirates all dancing in the wind
Rain cloud is my window empty is romance
Touchdown on the tarmac of lonely Bangladesh

Where they're tanning themselves down in Coogee
Where they're taking some time in the sun
Where there's flying machines a plenty
Every ninety seconds or so
Where they're tanning themselves

Jogger and the tourist colliding on the walk
I Gotta mobile moaning but it don't wanna talk
Everyone is missing a Caesar out of touch
An empire on the landscape above the golden arch

Where they're tanning themselves down in Coogee
Where they're taking some time in the sun
Where there's flying machines a plenty
Every ninety seconds or so
Where they're tanning themselves

Tenors in a suitcase
A fighter on the wall
Watching midnight movies and doin' it alone
Maybe there's a postcard
Blowing in from Nome
Sea breeze in their pockets but they can't take it home

Because they're tanning themselves down in Coogee
Where they're taking some time in the sun
Where there's flying machines a plenty
Every ninety seconds or so

Where they're tanning themselves down in Coogee
Where they're taking some time in the sun
Where there's flying machines a plenty
Every ninety seconds or so
Where they're tanning themselves
Down in Coogee

I see them tanning themselves in Coogee ooh yeh
