think i'll bag that trip for two
pack it up to kakadu
honey, it's not for the weather
or the lack of loving you
i got all this in between
something i did not forsee
all the deals i made don't matter
if i can't just let you be

gone again
gone again
there ain't no way
that i'm gonna let this heart mend
gone again

i walked in king's cross for awhile
gave a junkie girl a smile
we both traded in for danger
or the company of strangers
she said all her family
was at the welfare agency
then she swindled my last twenty
for a kiss and some poetry

gone again
gone again
'cause there ain't no way
that i'm gonna let this heart mend
gone again

if i don't make kakadu
i'll be at the rainbow room
and i'll be courting some disaster
with the melbourne wrecking crew
honey all this is to say
that every dog don't got it's day
if we take the love we're given
(take the love)
and we throw it all away

it's gone again
it's gone again
'cause there ain't no way
that i'm gonna let this heart mend
it's gone again
it's gone again
'cause there ain't no way
that i'm gonna let this heart mend
