I still live on suburban streets
Where the planes fly low and the food is cheap
All my friends have gone overseas
Every one's left except me
Ed's gone to Vietnam
Morgan's in Paddington
Harry has settled down
For four letter reasons
Eden's moved to Eastern Park,
Chris to Alexandria
Aidan's gone around the world
For four letter reasons
I can't afford these Sydney Streets
Now that land costs more and the rent is steep
It's forced my friends to up and leave
Now everyone's gone except me
Evan's gone to Carlingford
Steven's had his second child
Peter's off to learn guitar
For a four letter reason
Megans in regents park
Tim's down in Carringbar
Dean is living in his car
For a four letter reason
I thought I was never coming back
But everything you need it has
Live out a backpack
To slip through the seasons
Well Eden's still in eastern park
Chris in Alexandria
Aidan's still around the world
For a four letter reason
For a four letter reason
For a four letter reason
For a four letter reason
