Paul Kelly - Every Fucking City Lyrics
We argued on the channel train to Paris
The vin rouge helped us make it sweet again
But by the time that we got down to Lyon
Everything I said was wrong and you cursed me in the rain
We split up for a while in Barcelona
I was hoping that the break would make things go a little betterfor us
And for a little while it almost did
Now I'm in a bar in Copenhagen
And i'm trying hard to forget your name
And I'm staring at the label on a bottle of cerveza
And every fucking city feels the same
You said to call you when I got to London
A French girl told me that you'd left a note
I said to her "I like your accent" and she thought I soundedfunny
Foolishly I followed you to Dublin
Like a ghost I walked the streets of Temple Bar
And all the bright young things were throwing up their Guinnessin the gutters
And once I thought I saw you from afar
Now I'm in a nightclub in Helsinki
And they're playing La Vida Loca once again
And I can't believe I'm dancing to this crap but I'm a chancehere
And every fucking city sounds the same
At a cafe in the port of Amsterdam
An E-mail from you said you'd gone to Rome
For a minute I thought maybe but my funds were running low
And anyway it sounded like you weren't alone
So I headed north until I got to Hamburg
A chilly city suits a troubled soul
And on the Reeperbahn I paid a woman far too much
To kick me out before I'd even reached my goal
Now I'm in a restaurant in Stockholm
And the waiter here wants me to know his name
And I can order sandwiches in seven different languages
But every fucking city looks the same
Arriverderci, au revoir, aufwiedersen, hasta la vista baby
Yeah, every fucking city's just the same

Paul Kelly Every Fucking City Comments
Love this song. Thanks for sharing it
yep yup thats society for you
"A chilly city suits a troubled soul" poetry!
Just love this song - great lyrics!!!
Every fuckin' city is the same! Should be the Aussie anthem!
Captain my Captain Bob Dylan sucks hard.Do not unveil the saying with signature until dec. 24.
cool very cool
One of the best traveling songs ever penned
Ah Mr Paul Kelly, even though your originally from Adelaide......Melbourne ( My town ) has embraced you as a son of ours. Traveling through Europe in 2004 ( 3 month holiday ) all I could do is think of this song. Cheers to all my Aussie travelers abroad !
It's Sarah not b
Love it, I know this too well
A true national treasure.Thanks Mr Kelly for your work.
This is one of my favourite songs in my whole life time
love this
It is getting tired comparing the Jew & the genius from Adelaide. Having said that ""listen with your heart & filter blood with your ears"" Dr Chris Piper.
Love that song.
Classic song, you can hear the world weariness in his voice " and i can order sandwiches in seven different languages "
Paul Kelly should provide the afl grand final entertainment ,but if he can't he could play at the waaia pub !
too true!!
Really funny and, very drunk |o|
Thanks for posting,

Every City fucks ......just the same !!!??
every hole is the same......cities are holes of Collection of holes ..some wanna spread their
mark bing f
Indian Cricket Team theme song as per Sid Monga.
in copenhagon beer is not called cerveza.
It is Andrew Chip & fishfejl...when it's written on the label ....listen to the Words !!!
+andrew chippendale thats actually the point.....hes deliberately confusing things, because EVERY FUCKING CITY FEELS THE SAME
but at least he could pronounce Copenhagen correctly, with an open A...
God that pisses me off.
Copenhagen is an english bastardisation of København. København is pronounced nothing like it is in the song. So you can either pronounce the english bastardisation with an english accent or you can put on some weird accent that is neither english nor danish and sound like a tool.
So no he can't pronounce Copenhagen correctly and no it doesn't have an open A.
If you don't want to use the english name then København is pronounced coopen, like chicken coop, houn, like a dog without the D. Coopenhoun
Loudon Wainwright should cover this song.
Can't help but think about Childers ... they would loved this this song, I reckon
If Bob Dylan had been an Aussie he would have been Paul Kelly. He is the voice of a nation.
+MicKeyMooZiK acctualy, Paul admits that Bob had a MAJOR influence on him :)
MicKeyMooZiK good point MicKeyMooZik
Love it
1st thanks geckobp for post ,, a little Australiana,, goes a long way ,
I thought that it sounded familiar!
Did the legendary Paul Kelly steal the air off Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer?
Once I earn enough money I'm goning to travel and be this funny and depressed
.
i lyk dis cos it swears
This is so funny.................
I love Paul Kelly but this is shithouse.... just awfully tedious and the taglines are juvenile and too damn easy. Yawn.... don't try and appease the masses again will ya.
hahaha! yawn...
I've met Paul a few times...and he like Bill Hunter and Guy Pearce (met the latter as well) are not cursed with sin of ego....and if I had my way 'From Little Things' would be the Aussie national anthem! LOL! Yes he's a muso but in my mind's eye he's Australia's poet lauriette; hell 20 years ago I was four Paul Kelly songs rolled into one, then I stopped drinking!
good song Paul Kell ur great.
Haha awesome song, great to hear it again!
