Flame Trees Lyrics - Jimmy Barnes

Kids out driving, Saturday afternoon pass me by 

I'm just savoring familiar sights 

We share some history, this town and I 

And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her 

Try to book a room to stay tonight 

Number one is to find some friends to say 

"You're doing well after all this time 

You boys look just the same" 

Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels 

Settle in to play 'Do you remember so and so?' 

Number three is never say her name 

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver 

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town 

There's no change, there's no pace 

Everything within its place 

Just makes it harder to believe 

That she won't be around

But ah, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway? 

Takes more than just a memory to make me cry 

I'm happy just to sit here 'round a table with old friends 

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies 

There's a girl falling in love near where the pianola stands 

With her young local factory out of worker, holding hands 

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay 

Do you remember? 

Nothing stopped us on the field in our day 

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver 

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town 

There's no change, there's no pace 

Everything within its place 

Just makes it harder to believe 

That she won't be around

Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver 

And there's nothing else could set fire to this town 

There's no change, there's no pace 

Everything within its place 

Just makes it harder to believe 

That she won't be around
