lyrics

This is a scene from the city
Told when the shadows creep
When the streets are cloaked in dark silence
And when junkies fall asleep
And im walking home to my Rosie
And im trying my best not to fall
Too drunk to trust the ground below me
Bouncing from wall to wall

From the docks we follow the river
As the moon gently stalks on its wave
Been boozing with Dave Brownie-Murray
And a couple more of our mates
And I smile for the ones that are livin
And I smile for the ones that are gone
To have had the chance to have known them
Yeah the chance to have known them at all

This is a scene from the city
Yeah the city to which I was born
Where once the reel was bleached by violence
With a tired repetisive score
Where as children we played with toy soldiers
As real soldiers stood at our doors
Where the street lamps look so pretty
When im drunk and on my way home
Where the street lamps look so pretty
When im drunk and on my way home
