Paul Kelly - Love Never Runs On Time Lyrics
I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset
Rain was falling, it looked like it would for a while
I had a radio, a six-pack and some cigarettes
The radio died after the first hundred miles
I sang all the way to the border and guess who starred in every rhyme
I followed that old river 'til the morning
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town
But the colour of the coffee was a warning
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown
The waitress poured me another, I guess she was feeling kind
You know and I know that love never runs on time
You're lost in the traffic
I've been asking around, but you haven't been seen
Oh but darling-what we could have been!
The rain came and went all the next day
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side
Then I gunned her back out on the highway
Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive
I never heard a love song yet that I could call yours and mine
'Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time

Paul Kelly Love Never Runs On Time Comments
my love still hasn't run on time
Yes. Australian mainstream music certainly has its own sound doesn’t it. More adventurous music - Nick Cave et al are exceptions but then, Nick Cave is a stone mf legend whom I find fantastic. A friend sent a clip of this song to me. Perhaps it would’ve gone down more easily if I’d been slobbering on a beer 🍺 or 20 whilst stuffing my face with a “vegemite sandwich 🥪. Mistress ‘let them eat cake’ because they cannot seem to discern the difference.
5 people are idiots.
Heard this on the radio this week, I just had to hear it again ,it's great..
Possibly the best Australian singer of the 80's..he's still got it to
kylie morris that’s too, lovely. TOO. Mistress gym slips & grammar.......
Awesome song
I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.
Rain was falling, looked like it would for a while.
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.
The radio died after the first hundred miles.
I sang all the way to the border
And guess who starred in every rhyme.
Ah you know and I know that love never runs on time.
I followed that old river 'til the morning.
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town.
But the colour of the coffee was a warning,
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown.
The waitress poured me another,
I guess she was feeling kind (mind reading kind).
You know and I know that love never runs on time.
You're lost in the traffic.
I?ve been asking around, but you haven't been seen.
I never thought we were perfect.
Oh but darling - what we could have been!
The rain came and went all the next day.
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side.
Then I gunned it back out on the highway,
Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive.
I never heard a love song yet
That I could call your and mine.
Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.
I never heard a love song yet
That I could call your and mine.
Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.
