I want to go home, I want to go home
I want to go back to adelaide
It' s time for a change, don't want to be late
It's probably night in adelaide

In a day or two, I'll be there asking for you
To come back to adelaide with me
The weather there is so good.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/john+cale/adelaide_20073195.html ]
So pass me the phone, I'll go it alone
I'll whistle my way to adelaide
There's no time to cry, I'll be there tonight
[Adelaide lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]The trains and the boats and planes are on time.

But before I go, I'm knock-knocking on your front door
Be sure to say good-bye to your friends
And to all my friends back home.

But before I go, I'm knock-knocking on your front door
Be sure to say good-bye to your friends
And to all my friends back home.

Oh, adelaide, adelaide, I want you tonight
Adelaide, adelaide, I want you tonight
