Lyrics:
Canberra's never lonelier or colder Than when you feel the heartbreak of defeat You'll never find a sympathetic shoulder On any bureaucratic street So when I must forgive or be forgiven When all my best-laid plans have gone astray I head down to the shores of Burley Griffin And try to wash the pain away. In wintertime, the water cuts you chilly Walter dug it oh so deep And I remember Kirribilli The promise that he did not keep. He looked me in the eye across the table He looked at me and swore he'd step aside I gave him my support and kept him stable He looked me in the eye and lied I dreamed that I was Placido Domingo Ready for the spotlight and applause But maybe I'll end up like Ernie Dingo And vanish in "The Great Outdoors". In wintertime, the water cuts you chilly And I swear I see a ladt with a blade And I remember Kirribilli The promise that a friend once made. I want to rule, I want to lead I know just what the people need I thought I had it guaranteed, but then He threw me down in the stenches Of the dank backbenches And I never want to go back there again! Time again for daring and defiance Time to charge the throne and take the crown And I won't need to iron-clad alliance To go for gold and bring Old Silver down... In wintertime, the water cuts you chilly But it purifies my soul anew And I remember Kirribilli And I know now what I have to do, I know now what I have to do.
