Lyrics

I can hear the train rattling
Track’s a mile away
People singing
Ringing in another New Year’s Day
It’s a long lonely fall
I won’t be going down that way
But these are hard times
The stars tonight are hiding
Behind the high rise lights
Full moon shining down
On the town all black & white
My mind’s a slow motion replay
Of every lover and every fight
But I’m thinking about you tonight
The papers send photographers
The cameras flash and shutter
TV film the houses
And broken bottles in the gutter
The bonfire burns and the flame and ash flutter
Through the park where we’d go
Fast food kills you slow
The grog quickens the pace
Many are found on the morning ground
With no name and no place
But you know sometimes God’s angels
Even they can fall from grace
Does the blood that’s swelling in your mouth make it hard for you to speak?
Did they hit you and put that mark upon your cheek?
Did you fell like you were drowning when your insides start to bleed?
Did you sign that piece of paper that you couldn’t even read?
Was it a warm bed Billy?
Was it a decent feed?
The papers send photographers
The cameras flash and shutter
TV film the houses
And broken bottles in the gutter
The bonfire burns and the flame and ash flutter
Like every breath and word you whispered in my ear
With tired eyes and our bellies full of beer
As we’d watch the Waterloo sunsets disappear
