If We Can't Get It Together

(album: Hourly, Daily - 1996)

To get up the bond for an Inner West flat
He'd work for anybody if he wasn't working for her dad
She's practising saying 'I do' and 'I will'
'Cause she don't know how to tell him that she's going off the pill

Her curtains are for certain that he'll talk about her ass
But she clings to his photo like a piece of broken glass
If we can't get it together today
She's looking for his heart while he stares the other way

His dad is a nut, his ex-girl is a slut
But he'll be yours forever
If you just get it together
If we can't get it together if we can't get it together
Is it ever gonna be just you and me?

So they met on Tuesday at the Town Hall steps
To get an 8" by 10" photo and a wedding date set
'We might as well do it next week
'Cause we've met everybody that we're ever gonna meet'

His dad is a nut, his ex-girl is a slut
But he'll be yours forever
If you just get it together
If we can't get it together if we can't get it together
Is it ever gonna be just you and me?

470 to Circular Quay
With a present in your pocket from the TAB

If we can't get it together if we can't get it together
Is it ever gonna be just you and me?

Would you settle for a mobile home
Near a good record store and a public phone?

If we can't get it together if we can't get it together
