"Living In Sin In Petersham." (Di Fonzo)

​

Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun
Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun



She was a tall and lean Teutonic queen,
with which he'd fell in love
and he was an unemployed poet,
who drank too much
they found a stray cat and called it Monkey -
spelt like monkey, sounds like donkey
and all lived together in a second floor flat,
on the Stanmore border of Petersham



Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun
Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun



They’d lay around all day & listen to,
John & Yoko’s ‘Double Fantasy’
as people downstairs,
screamed in Vietnamese and banged at the ceiling
complaining about their stereo,
complaining about them making love in their Blundstones
complaining they were drowning out
their babies screams and their talk-back radio



Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun
Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun



They didn't give a fuck about living in the flightpath
didn't give a fuck about complaining neighbours
didn't give a fuck about the fake wood paneling
they were too in love to ever clean the carpets



Her & he and a cat call Monkey -
spelt like monkey, sounds like donkey.
Her & he and a cat call Monkey -
spelt like monkey, sounds like donkey.

Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun
Living in sin in Petersham was so much fun.

Accompanied by veteran bassist Mike Sheehan, drummer Justine Wahlin, and lead guitarist Pete Fenwick. Rhum.org.au called Benito's writing, "Clever, witty, sharp and surreal.” " ... more
