Gone Again Lyrics
Think I'll bag that trip for two
Pack it up to Kakadu
Honey, it's not for the weather
Or the lack of loving you
I got all this in between
Something I did not forsee
All the deals I made don't matter
If I can't just let you be
Gone again
Gone again
There ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
I walked in King's Cross for awhile
Gave a junkie girl a smile
We both traded in for danger
Or the company of strangers
She said all her family
Was at the welfare agency
Then she swindled my last twenty
For a kiss and some poetry
Gone again
Gone again
'cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
If I don't make Kakadu
I'll be at the rainbow room
And I'll be courting some disaster
With the Melbourne wrecking crew
Honey all this is to say
That every dog don't got it's day
If we take the love we're given
(Take the love)
And we throw it all away
It's gone again
It's gone again
'cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
It's gone again
It's gone again
'cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
Pack it up to Kakadu
Honey, it's not for the weather
Or the lack of loving you
I got all this in between
Something I did not forsee
All the deals I made don't matter
If I can't just let you be
Gone again
There ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
Gave a junkie girl a smile
We both traded in for danger
Or the company of strangers
She said all her family
Was at the welfare agency
Then she swindled my last twenty
For a kiss and some poetry
Gone again
'cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
I'll be at the rainbow room
And I'll be courting some disaster
With the Melbourne wrecking crew
Honey all this is to say
That every dog don't got it's day
If we take the love we're given
(Take the love)
And we throw it all away
It's gone again
'cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
It's gone again
It's gone again
'cause there ain't no way
That I'm gonna let this heart mend
Gone again

She writes about her tendency to throw away one relationship after another in her perpetually unsuccessful search of something better. So regardless of her situation, she simply never lets her heart mend. She gives two examples. In the first she attempts to find love with a "junkie girl", a sure recipe for disaster. The girl of course, takes her money and gives almost nothing in return (a kiss, a sob story and poetry). In the second, she is in the Rainbow Room again "courting some disaster". She realizes that emotionally things will never work out (even for dog) if we always discard our relationships.
