Wellington

Wellington - The Mutton Birds

I wish I was in Wellington the weather's not so good

The wind it cuts right through you

And it rains more than it should

But I'd be there tomorrow if I only could

Oh I wish I was in Wellington

I wish I was in Wellington the bureaucracy

The suits and the briefcases along Lambton Quay

The Harbour city Capital the lights beside the sea

Oh I wish I was in Wellington

It just isn't practical you down in the capital

And me at the other end of the island

The problem is the gap between us on the map

And there's no easy way to reconcile it

I wish I was in Wellington the cafes and the bars

The music and the theatre and the old cable car

And you can walk everywhere 'cause nowhere's very far

Oh I wish I was in Wellington

Oh I wish

Oh I wish I was in Wellington

The wind it cuts right through cuts right through

I wish I was in Wellington there's so much more to do

Much more to do

I wish I was in Wellington and you wish I was too

Oh I wish I was in Wellington

'Cause then I'd be with you

Oh I wish I was in Wellington

'Cause then I'd be with you
