Land of mugginess and rainbows
Sidewalks steaming after rain
Cars, Christians, cops and coffees that come slow
Here country girls, heavily made up, shop at Shanton and Cotton On before a night out in town
And fitness fanatics jog up Parihaka or around The Basin Loop.
Home of yummy Korean food, big box retailing and houses painted with flowers
Criss-crossed by waterways with a scum on top
Run-off or rural trickle down perhaps
Who would've thought I would call you home
