It’s been a bit of a winter (in Perth terms) so far this year… so much so that Matt just had to go write a song about it.
Of course. You’d take a classic like Spandau Ballet’s Gold and re-named it Cold!
LISTEN:
Well played Matt! Once again!
Damn straight I’m coming home
Turn the heater up high, put the kettle on
Find some wooly socks to wear with my thongs
These are Perth’s winter days
My suntan slowly fading away
It will only get to 16 today
That’s cold for you and me
Bar me and Helsinki
Guess you just get used to what you know
Man I hope it’s snowing on Bluff Knoll
It’s getting cold
Perth, what’s become of your soul
I know winter follows fall
But I’m getting cold brass balls
And I’m not a monkey
Keep calm and carry on
Find the strength to put your car de-mister on
Make sure you’ve got a ‘brolly on your person
Together we’ll find a way
To get through a moderately cold day
Make sure you see Lightscape at Kings Park
Looks so great after dark
It will be as cold as far… Away
In England they’ve got summer on
But I bet they’re not much warmer than we are
It’s getting cold
Perth, don’t you dare stay at home
Get out there and live your life hard
Make sure that you wear a scarf
Winter is wonderful
