Mcleay Street in Sydney

Tom T. Hall · I Wrote a Song About It [Mercury] [1975]

(Tom T. Hall)



There's more love on McLeay Street in Sydney

Than you have in your heart for me

I can buy love like yours on McLeay Street

So why won't your love let me be.



I'm so tired of bein' your toy, I'm so tired of bein' your boy

Oh, there's more love on McLeay Street in Sydney

It doesn't cause heartaches it doesn't cause teardrops

It just costs money it doesn't make memory.



--- Instrumental ---



They don't call it real love on McLeay Street

It's just using somebody for a time

They don't pretend it's real love on McLeay Street

They don't break hearts like you've been breaking mine.



And I'm so tired of bein' your toy, I'm so tired of bein' your boy

Oh, there's more love on McLeay Street in Sydney

It doesn't cause heartaches it doesn't cause teardrops

It just costs money it doesn't make memory...
