Lyrics

[00:05.45] Hi, how're you doing?
[00:09.33] Just a, ah... big breakfast and a large black coffee, thanks
[00:13.92] Cheers
[00:16.00] I love you
[00:17.54] And there's a place I go for breakfast every afternoon
[00:20.57] The coffee's rubbish and the bacon's always hard to chew
[00:23.99] And the toast is always soggy
[00:27.07] But I hardly notice
[00:29.10] And the food takes such a long time to get made
[00:31.85] Even when I'm the only person in the café
[00:35.54] And my table's always wobbly
[00:38.76] But I hardly notice
[00:39.89] Yeah
[00:40.33] You're probably thinkin' why would I even bother
[00:42.91] Eatin' there on a daily basis, there's heaps of other places on offer
[00:46.85] Why not change to another place if the bacon is rubber
[00:49.65] And the taste of the cuppa makes you pull faces and splutter?
[00:52.41] It's the waitress, I love her, the way she clears plates with a clutter
[00:55.17] Makes my heart race and it flutters, I know it's crazy to love a
[00:58.08] Lady that's basically just a stranger with an apron down her
[01:01.91] Brother, I don't need to ask her name and number
[01:03.75] 'Cause this relationship is built on breakfast
[01:09.54] I'm waiting on her just to wait on me
[01:15.19] And there's a place I go for breakfast every afternoon
[01:18.47] The coffee's rubbish and the bacon's always hard to chew
[01:22.24] And the toast is always soggy
[01:25.02] But I hardly notice
[01:27.16] And the food takes such a long time to get made
[01:29.69] Even when I'm the only person in the café
[01:33.82] And my table's always wobbly
[01:36.59] But I hardly notice
[01:38.49] She says "Hi" to me, "Bye" to me, "That'll be five-ninety-five" to me
[01:41.97] I don't really mind, that's all right with me
[01:44.72] I just smile and eat, sometimes we mightn't speak for like a week
[01:47.83] She knows during my quiet times I like to be alone
[01:50.72] And write a poem with my headphones
[01:52.85] Newspaper, bacon fried up, poached egg, slice of toast
[01:55.87] A long black, but the beans are always burnt
[01:58.62] And if the cup is dirty, she just cleans it with her shirt
[02:01.81] I wonder if she's my ideal girl
[02:04.88] And what would happen if we dated in the real world
[02:07.70] Nah, I don't think it would work
[02:09.63] I wouldn't wanna risk what we have and have to tip 'cause of that
[02:13.00] Besides, this relationship is built on breakfast
[02:18.66] I'm waiting on her just to wait on me
[02:24.64] And there's a place I go for breakfast every afternoon
[02:27.90] The coffee's rubbish and the bacon's always hard to chew
[02:31.47] And the toast is always soggy
[02:34.38] But I hardly notice
[02:36.41] And the food takes such a long time to get made
[02:39.13] Even when I'm the only person in the café
[02:43.28] And my table's always wobbly
[02:46.11] But I hardly notice
[02:47.73] And it don't matter that the bacon I eat's cold
[02:50.66] And it's okay the newspapers are weeks old
[02:53.48] But I don't mind, no, it's fine 'cause she's all
[02:56.53] That I'm there for
[02:59.56] And it don't matter that the bacon I eat's cold
[03:02.24] And it's okay the newspapers are weeks old
[03:05.16] But I don't mind, no, it's fine 'cause she's all
[03:08.07] That I'm there for
[03:11.48] And there's a place I go for breakfast every afternoon
[03:13.97] The coffee's rubbish and the bacon's always hard to chew
[03:17.42] And the toast is always soggy
[03:20.52] But I hardly notice
[03:22.55] And the food takes such a long time to get made
[03:25.31] Even when I'm the only person in the café
