A tale of all the strange coincidences that occur 10,000 miles from home.

lyrics

I met her on my first shift waiting tables
We chatted as she showed me the ropes
She said she’d lived in my new suburb until just last week
But what’s weird is I’d just moved into her old house

Ten thousand miles from home
Here in Melbourne where the cafes thrive
It’s a big city but a small world
When just days ago she slept in this same room

Waiting at the tram stop we saw another couple
And when no tram came they offered us a lift
On the road to the city we ask where they are headed
Turns out we’re all going to one tiny basement jazz gig

Ten thousand miles from home
Here in Melbourne where the culture’s high
It’s a big city but a small world
When these musicians live just steps from my front door

I saw him at the bike shed down the creek
As I put down the spanner to wipe my cheek
I heard
‘Can I borrow that?’
I looked up dumbstruck
Because standing there was a guy I went through school with

Ten thousand miles from home
Here in Melbourne where the streets are flat
It’s a big city but a small world
When Jimmy Keen turns out to be my neighbour
