LYRICS:

Brown like my eyes
Cold in the river tonight
There’s a hundred cities not as pretty as you
You’ve always been there - yeah you always come through

But if I died and went to heaven than heaven would be this place
Maybe I’m smitten- bitten by the brown snake

It winds around
This country town
Sometimes a flood
Brings us to tears
It’s in our blood
Through all the years it’s got my heart
The brown snake - a work of art

Brown like my skin
Where my first memories begin…
It’s never too late to see the needle
from expo 88
It’s always raining - in the Sunshine State

But if I died and went to heaven than heaven would be this place
Maybe I’m smitten - bitten by the brown snake

It winds around
This country town
Sometimes a flood
Brings us to tears
It’s in our blood
Through all the years it’s got my heart
The brown snake
a work of art

Sounds like a cross between Toyah and Kate Rusby.
