Oh No Not You Again Lyrics
Let me tell you bout two young lovers that lived on the coast
She was such a pretty thing, and man what a host
Come evenin time she sets the table for four
Some friends are commin round tonight
He's out on the town, He's tryin to score
Woke up early this morning something's on his mind
Cursin the night before, breakfast at nine
She felt him restless oh all through the night
She senses somethings wrong with him
She doesn't want to pry, she just wants to know why
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh---Oh No, Not You Again
Don't own no smimming pool, not even a colour TV
He work awful hard some days and she lets him be
Things ain't looking to good for them no love no more
Some friends are commin round tonight
He's out on the town, He's tryin to score
She was such a pretty thing, and man what a host
Come evenin time she sets the table for four
Some friends are commin round tonight
He's out on the town, He's tryin to score
Woke up early this morning something's on his mind
Cursin the night before, breakfast at nine
She felt him restless oh all through the night
She senses somethings wrong with him
She doesn't want to pry, she just wants to know why
He work awful hard some days and she lets him be
Things ain't looking to good for them no love no more
Some friends are commin round tonight
He's out on the town, He's tryin to score

She's a homebody who wants to make a good life with him and their friends.
He's out trying to score drugs instead of being home with her.
She doesn't want to pry, she just wants to know why - why he's never home, why he's working so hard yet there's never any money, and why he's not interested in sex any more.
Simple answer for all 3 - he's on smack.
Any addict reacts the same way when you get close to the truth - "oh no, not you again" - don't make me confront this problem.
There's not a lot more to this song.
@timmo11 Actually your right on the money there Timmo11! Guy McDonough who both wrote and was main singer of this song was a Heroin user who'll later loose his life at the age of 28 due to both his drug use and battling HIV infection/AIDS (contracted via continue needle sharing). Initially they claimed that the song was about infidelity but later on from sources including from both his brother William 'Bill' McDonough 2nd/Jnr and Australian Crawl Co founder and lead singer James Reyne mentioned it was about hiding a drug addiction and in a number of ways was a part autobiography song about...

James Reyne still performs this song as main vocals on stage in honour of his former school and band friend to this day as part of the James Reyne band. Other current members also include- Tracy Kingman- Session and Backing Vocals Brett Kingman- Acoustic and rhythm guitar (a role which Guy McDonough was renowned for) Andy McIvor- Bass guitar John Watson- Drums
the lyric in the third verse is
"Things ain't looking good for them no love no more"
top notch song. i see these guys like the australian version of CCR... kinda.
sounds like there's a young couple. the guy is out sleeping around, running amok all over town, while his good wife/girlfriend is at home with her friends, waiting for him to come home.
Maybe he's knocking on his tamborine mans door?????

Sad song going in circles, almost got roped in with a guy who did the same to his wife. Man I almost got snagged up in the same garbage. Moved on from that found a new captain! People don’t change. Thank God I live in Atlanta far far away
