Adelaide On a plane Far from the united states Of LA Dropping in from outer space Takes a day Now I see the Bogans At the motor race Here you know the world could turn Or crash and burn And you would never know it Going where the air is clear There’s better beer in Adelaide Charlie Hill-Smith's, footy Someone spiked my rice The rest, history Now I am a fixture down Rundle Mall Watching as the locals pass Silver balls I can see their eyes around They’re pointed down They scan the spanning sidewalks Learning that there is no hurry Fuss or worry Adelaide Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah It’s raining In Adelaide A face is waiting in a window A voice says Why Adelaide? You could live anywhere and I say Because I want to Because I want to I really really want to And you know the earth could turn Or crash and burn And you would never know it Really got to make it to the finish line Get the record done on time Pack the bags And catch a flight And you can kiss my ass goodbye On Adelaide Adelaide Adelaide Adelaide If you find some error in Adelaide Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Adelaide Far from the united states | Reviewer: Rachel | 9/15/09 9 years ago I moved here with family from the USA and I LOVE that this song exists because esp with this lyric bc this is how i feel. 9 yrs later and going to other aussie places and i choose to live here- could live anywhere and I say Because I want to Because I want to I really really want to Ben folds, awsome guy with a great song! must of lived in Adelaide. | Reviewer: Adelaidean | 11/19/08 You would understand the song more if you have lived in adelaide. I lived in different states for the last 3 yrs and moved back thanks to this song lol. Brought all my happy memories in Adelaide. I lived in Sydney, melbourne and the Gold Coast (Gold Coast is a must go). It was great fun for the first 1-2 months, until it felt like any other cities. Seems like the only people that was really happy are the people there for holidays. Adelaidean seem much happier. heres a song link with some pics. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=4T_Xqa6tZgo&feature=related so true. | Reviewer: Mia | 7/23/08 I recent went to Sydney for a vaction for my mum's birthday and it's so much different from adelaide. I was so glad to come back home to the quiet streets and an empty airport at 9pm unlike sydney where there would have been at least a thousand. I didn't realize how much i liked Adelaide til i went away. Adelaide is home. Adelaidian | Reviewer: Reggie | 4/8/08 I love that Ben wrote a song about my dear home town. I recently went for a little trip around the rest of Australia (not the first time I've done this), and I have to say it's so good to be home. We're Australia's very own big-city country town! <3 Charlie Hill-Smith | Reviewer: emily | 1/13/08 Charlie is a person. Film maker, Rhino Room club owner, eccentric and owner of the Silver Mine - house built up against a hill with a silver mine attached. Scene to some incredible parties. I think Ben met his wife Frally through Charlie. wtf cc ? | Reviewer: rev | 1/7/08 Reading the arrogance of east coast urbanites always makes me smile, lost in their own self importance yet globally obscure as they are.The only thing this city misses is the occasional overpriced tour and recent Mike Patton bastardry.Described as a,"lovely wee spot",by Billy Connolly when naming his favourite place in Australia (on 'Rove live), Rove's look of surprise was priceless. ahhh memories | Reviewer: zylah | 1/4/08 I grew up in Adelaide, and it brings back memories everytime i hear it. What I wonder is about "Charlie Hill-Smith's". I've never heard of it is it a place or someone who lives there? Does anyone know?? : ) | Reviewer: imy | 9/2/07 dear mr folds, you've captured adelaide m'dear. it's definately the place to be, where the bogans meet the sea! Adelaide, far from the united states.. | Reviewer: Jen | 8/23/07 I love the lyric "A voice says Why Adelaide? You could live anywhere and I say Because I want to Because I want to I really really want to" It explains my feelings about Adelaide. My sister is always asking "why Adelaide?" I've only been there once, but it gave me a hell good feeling and as soon as I leave school I'm going there! Adelaidee! | Reviewer: Ashleigh =] | 8/20/07 Haha I love Ben Folds, and the fact that he wrote a song about Adelaide makes me love him even more. Its so true that 'Here you know the world could turn Or crash and burn And you would never know it' We are always so behind =P Review By Pages: 1 2 Review the song Adelaide The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
