"The number of tugboats is a pretty decent unit of measurement for a harbour-side town"
- An Old Friend

lyrics

Lyrics:

Well it's a two tugboat kind of town,
No linesman in the way,
Pennies on the bank and a market on the shore,
I'm seeing red roses in the night,
And white in the day,

Well it's a two tugboat kind of town,
Keep your hat on your head,
Bringing the big boys through the gates of a southern land,
Will King George make a sound?
Or keep it to himself,
Will King George make a sound?
Or keep it to himself,

The air is cold from the sea (bring your warmth to me),
I'm bending through the hills (bring your warmth to me),
Country green is all I see,

Well it's a two tugboat kind of town,
Excited?
I know the feeling,
Ripping through the port and respected in the town,
I want to meet the skipper have a beer,
Find out why they came through Albany,

One-Fifty leagues all the way back to Perth,
I stumble at the fourth,
Dreams of green and blue,
I'm centred at true north,
I found my bearings buried in the salty wounds,
At a beach near Boiler Bay,

The air is cold from the sea (bring your warmth to me),
I'm bending through the hills (bring your warmth to me),
Country green is all I see,

Well it's a two tugboat kind of town,
No linesman in the way,
Pennies on the bank and a market on the shore,
I'm seeing red roses in the night and white in the day,
