Truckstop Honeymoon - Breakfast in SeattleIntro:strum C G F G (x2)The lyrics in this song are a bit hard for an Aussie to interpret but here goes...CStart the day as you left offGA smoke is sure to clear your coughFTake a sip from a wounded soldierGThrough your coat over your shoulderCDays are long and need punctuationGThe first stop is a gas stationFBuy a pack of Old Goldsand some kind of beer you don't have to keep coldCCoz the fridge is broke and that's alrightGYou got no food no apetiteFYou drink champagne and Krystal LiteG CThat's breakfast in SeattleCTake a walk up Denny WayGTry to get the blood back to your feetFGo find the Green Cat CafeGand order someting to eatCTwo eggs over hardGPaid for on a gas cardFYour Daddy never reads the statementGHe gets the Bills, then he pays themCYou meet Jimmy like you always doGHe's always in the same shape as youFYou walk together down Denny WayGShouting out at the trafficCHey you slaves, you coffee jerksFYou CEOs, you're late for workCYou go back to the monasteryGWhere they are shootin' up in the sanctuaryFYou got a pallet on the floorGWhat do you need a god damn job for?CYou got credit and you got cashGYou got coffee and you got hashFYou've got friends, I can never haveGI don't care, life's not so badCSure it's cold but you don't complainGYou'll like Seattle when its gray and rainingFYou've had enough of the sunny southGAnd redneck clubs, they sing aboutCYou don't miss the slower paceGYour mind--, it just loves to raceFYou got means and you know waysGYou can stay away for days and daysCHere's the church and here's the steepleGand my hypodermic space needleFOpen the door and take a peekGOn the fingers there are the peopleCSuddenly it all comes clearGYou can see all the way to Melbourne (1) hereFUntil the rain sets in for goodGDon't want your car washed, its understood.CBaby you talk a mile a minuteGand you tell the story, hey I'm in itFI'll be walking with you all the wayGUp the hill, to the Green Cat CafeCThen it ends, like it beganGWith an ashtray and an empty canFHad a battle you can standG Cat Breakfast in Seattle--------------------------------------------------------(1) I know it's not Melbourne but I'm an Aussie and that'sthe nearest city that sounds like what they sing!Phew! What an epic saga! This is the best I can with trying tounderstand the accents. Some of the phrasing is a bit weird andI am happy to be corrected on any lyrics that I have got wrong.Please rate and or comment on this song!Have fun with it.
