LYRICS
I shouldn't have driven
You shouldn't have driven - but we got there
Had a good time, and we left the car
And the cabbie was from a war-zone
We were glad he was driving us home
I was gladder of some movement
You took it on, you took it on board I said “Thank you, thank you, for loving me at my worst”
If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world is waking up?
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
Have I got them in me?
Bought myself one of them keyboard axes
Wanted to get out and dance away from the piano
That could have been the beginning of the end
If I wasn't already in the middle
The crowd was confused - and then they cheered!
My career it was back on track
I was relieved, full of love for the people
I said “Thank you, each and every one of you,
For loving me at my worst
If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world is waking up?
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
Have I got them in me?
All you bright and middle-aged things
Attending your sons and daughters
Spare a thought for me out here with the kids
To hell with your bricks and mortar
It's you and me and the Holy Ghost, on the road to dawn heading down the coast
We're better sorry than safe when you count the cost
Mmm, sorry than safe when you count the cost
There's a bar out East it's called Scrum
Only red wine and the finest of cigars
And if we leave now, we’ll still get in
You can find yourself a young consort
Writers of unpopular fiction are trying to drink more
Than bikkies who've all left their beards at the door
You'll drink all the wine and smoke your cigar
And say “Thank you, thank you, for loving me at my worst”
If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world is waking up?
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
Have I got them in me?

One of the best Australian bands of this Era

[@choms43]

This band is so underrated

[@user-qp8pg9md4h]

[@trudyandgeorge]

Just saw the Elton John movie and realised the Whitlams were my Elton John (I was born in the 80s). Thanks guys for your excellent music

[@allizan]

Such a happy song, bringing back so many good memories

[@melissajpope8249]

Just looked this up to send to my bestie. I'd forgotten how appropriate it really is. We left my car at a gig after we'd made friends with the bands friends and I drank way too much from nervousness at the thought of meeting Tim 🤣💕🎶

[@antje005]

This Song always makes me feel happy, one of your Best...Yes I know it's catchy but sometimes we need that, don't you think ?

[@hugbloom2664]

One of my all time favourite songs! Played it on repeat many many times and still know the words, so easy to sing along to ❤ I was reminded of it today when I was listening to You're Welcome from Moana.

[@user-oo9ok6sq2q]

Love this song from The Whitlams.

[@kippen64]

I bought the album that this song is from. Some of the best money that I have ever spent. It's a great album.

[@kmm2442]

Ah the ex-90's. That was all reality was, for a while.

[@Zineve]

Perfect throw back song for this new years eve! 💜 2020 what a long strange trip its been! Be safe all! 🙏💃

[@Hat1607]

So underrated!

[@mohammedyassien98]

Thank you guys for being there at my worst

[@brendonpegler5370]

Totally agree with you buddy

[@melissajpope8249]

Yep, me too 🙌🎶💕

[@LukeFennell]

please come to perth! I say this every time, I but I need to buy front row seats to your show.

[@DashSpaceski]

I got right up the front in Adelaide and was hype as. One of the best days of my life. Hopefully will see them again. I walked past backstage and gave a wave. I was happy to get a little thumbs up from Jak. ;) Made my year.

[@LukeFennell]

@@DashSpaceski NICE. i saw they are coming in July so gunna get tick they at the Astor. good theatre

[@DashSpaceski]

@@LukeFennell They make ant venue amazing. I rarely buy tickets to shows. But there are a small number of bands I love. These guys got me through my jockey training, my downfall, my climb to be the person I am now. I thank them very much. Have a fantastic time Luke. Get up the front. I found it hard to get through to the front but luckily a chain of good looking girls walked through and just pushed people out the way (pretty rudely) I definitely am not in the ''attractive'' basket but two nice ladies said for me to ''follow your friends!'' I looked back and said '''I have no friends'' (tragic losses) They looked at me and these two big women pushed me to the front. I was so happy. I went alone but I felt my friends were still with me. Anyway just a little story about my amazing experience. :)

[@darrenspence2516]

it is ridiculous the numbers (197 at my time) likes...clearly they need a SEO guy....I know a guy....it is ridiculous.....

[@buffalobill2874]

Well my dad's dad played ragtime maybe one of your songs is like that. Apparently that man was more physical in his expressions of anger with other humans like nana.. It wouldn't surprise me if he also did some writing to inspire the songs because he fancied himself capable of that and expected is be able to sing and he can't quite connect up why i might feel too shy to sing. My Mum perhaps thinks miserable people can make the most beautiful art but married someone who never seems to get down.

[@andrewwhitbread9362]

I PREFER "Melbourne."
