lyrics

Streets Of This Town

“Poor excuse for breakers,” she stares out past Luna Park
Where cops harass the wasters that settle in after dark.
Her hands thrust into pockets- that Harbour so far away,
She will never get used to the four seasons in one day.

And she’s fallen down, down, down,
To the streets of this town.

She grew up on the North Shore- surfing and ballet,
A natural beauty, she had style and she had grace.
She remembers a Christmas; she had that summer dress on,
It was his favourite; she didn’t know it was wrong.

And she’s fallen down, down, down,
To the streets of this town.
She’s fallen down, down, down,
To the streets of this town.

The night he came into her room,
The night he forced himself on her,
The night she left without a word,
No more daddy’s girl.

When she grew older, she stopped dancing for fun,
A clinical coldness, she never told what he had done.
Now cars cruise by slowly, the Carlisle street parade,
The hopeless and the lonely, their headlights light her way

And she’s fallen down, down, down,
To the streets of this town.
And she’s fallen down, down, down,
To the streets of this town.

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
