Wellington
Yearning for Wellington: A Melodic Longing
Lyrics
I wish I was in Wellington, the weather's not so good
I desire to be in Wellington, despite its unfavorable weather.
The wind it cuts right through you and it rains more than it should
Wellington has harsh weather conditions with cutting wind and excessive rain.
But I'd be there tomorrow, if I only could
If it were possible, I would be there tomorrow.
Oh I wish I was in Wellington
Expressing the ongoing wish to be in Wellington.
I wish I was in Wellington - the bureaucracy
Desire to be in Wellington despite the bureaucratic atmosphere.
The suits and the briefcases along Lambton Quay
Reference to the corporate environment on Lambton Quay with suits and briefcases.
The Harbour City Capital, the lights beside the sea
Highlighting Wellington as the Harbor City Capital with lights by the sea.
Oh I wish I was in Wellington
Reiteration of the desire to be in Wellington.
It just isn't practical, you down in the capital
Acknowledgment that practicality hinders being in the capital.
And me at the other end of the island
Expressing the physical distance between the speaker and the capital.
The problem is the gap - between us on the map
Identifying the problem as the geographical gap on the map.
And there's no easy way to reconcile it
Recognizing the challenge of reconciling the distance.
I wish I was in Wellington, the cafes and the bars
Expressing a wish to be in Wellington, emphasizing its cultural aspects.
The music and the theatre, and the old Cable Car
Mentioning the attractions like music, theater, and the old Cable Car in Wellington.
And you can walk everywhere 'cause nowhere's very far
Highlighting the walkability of Wellington due to its compact size.
Oh I wish I was in Wellington
Reiterating the desire to be in Wellington.
Oh I wish...
Continuation of the expression of longing for Wellington.
Oh I wish I was in Wellington, the wind it cuts right through
Repeating the challenging weather conditions in Wellington.
I wish I was in Wellington, there's so much more to do
Expressing the belief that there is much more to do in Wellington.
I wish I was in Wellington, and you wish I was too
Affirming the mutual desire for the speaker to be in Wellington.
Oh I wish I was in Wellington, 'cause then I'd be with you
Reiterating the wish to be in Wellington and connecting it to being with someone special.
Oh I wish I was in Wellington, 'cause then I'd be with you
Finalizing the desire to be in Wellington for the sake of being with someone.
