Ambulance Men
Journey Through Change: Ambulance Men Chronicles in Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
You know I drove home today, I saw the places I'd played
Reflecting on driving home and observing childhood play areas.
For hours in the sun, five on five, three on one
Recalling playing various sports in the sun with different team sizes.
And the trees had all gone from the street with the school and the radio on
Noticing changes in the neighborhood, trees gone, replaced by arcades.
Replaced by arcades filled with people having fun
Arcades now filled with people having fun.
And just to see them they've got what they want
Observing that people have what they want.
They've got a civic centre but best of the lot
Reference to a civic center as a positive development.
You know what they've got?
Questioning what the town now has.
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Highlighting the presence of ambulance men in the main street.
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
-Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
-And you know you could win
Suggesting a possibility of winning in this context.
Every once in a while disaster falls on the town in the sun
Describing occasional disasters in the sunny town.
When they sit down waiting for rain to come
Residents waiting for rain, a metaphor for relief from troubles.
Still, there's a pub to be found on every corner in town
Mentioning pubs on every corner, a common feature.
Where there's boys in the bar and there's girls in the lounge rooms with their mums
Boys in the bar, girls in lounge rooms with their moms.
And just to see them, they've got what they want
Noting that people have what they want.
They've got a sporting complex but best of the lot
Reference to a sporting complex as a positive aspect.
You know what they've got?
Posing the question again regarding what the town has.
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Emphasizing the presence of ambulance men in the main street.
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
-Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
-And you know you could win.
Reiterating the potential for success in this context.
You know I drove home today, I saw the places I'd played
Repeating the initial reflection on driving home.
For hours in the sun, five on five, three on one
Repeating the memories of playing various sports.
And the trees had all gone from the street with the school and the radio on
Reiterating the changes in the neighborhood with trees gone.
Replaced by arcades filled with people having fun
Repeating the observation of arcades filled with people.
And just to see them they've got what they want
Reiterating that people have what they want.
They've got a civic centre but best of the lot
Repeating the mention of a civic center as a positive development.
You know what they've got?
Repeating the question about what the town has.
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
Reiterating the presence of ambulance men in the main street.
Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
-Well they've got ambulance men in the main street
-And you know you could win
Reiterating the belief in the possibility of success.
