This song is really special to me for some reason. I only discovered it recently (in the last year or two), but every time I hear it I remember all my old friends, and growing up with them.
Hanging out in Blackheath, Katoomba, Leura, Springwood, Blaxland, Glenbrook, Lapstone, Emu Plains, Penrith.
I'm not sure why, but it makes me feel sad, like I've lost something or like a part of me is dead.
I kind of want to go back and be there again, just so I can tell them how walking through some cold, deserted street at 1 AM with them was actually something that was special to me and that I'll always remember. The truth is that I probably won't see a lot of those people ever again.
When I think of my best friends, I always see their faces looking at me at night time as we walk together along a deserted street, heading nowhere.
John.
Suburbia. 1 AM. You're walking home again..
Shopping bags and broken glass..
I hate going through the underpass.
I wish there was some other way 'round.
But you got beaten up by the playground and it's no use.
You have to go through..
Suburban shopping centre.
Pedestrian walkways;
I think they were meant to,
make things better.
But it's just emptier..
and scary at night time.
Hatfield at that time.
This is the place I live.
Where is everyone?
Are we the only ones?
This is the place I live.
And so does everyone..
and so does everyone.
Hatfield 1980.
I'm seeing my first knife.
My first ambulance ride..
I hold your hand the whole way;
Crying.
Get home the next day;
police have already been.
Well you can imagine the scene..
And if I'm going home,
I better change my clothes.
I better change my clothes.
And if I'm going home,
I better change my clothes.
I better change my clothes.
This is the place I live.
where is everyone?
Are we the only ones?
This is the place I live.
And so does everyone..
and so does everyone.
And when I'm looking back,
I look for everyone.
And when I fall down,
I fall for anyone.
When I'm looking back,
I look for everyone.
And when I fall down,
I fall for anyone.
