Darlinghurst Nights

Album: Oceans Apart (2005)

  • I opened a notebook, it read “The Darlinghurst Years”
    I snapped it shut but out jumped some tears
    I didn't have to read it, it all came back
    Dragging my fingers through my hair
    Hidding behind her back

    Gut rot cappuccino, gut rot spaghetti
    Gut rot rock'n'roll through the eyes of Frank Brunetti
    And always the traffic, always the lights
    Joe played the cello through those
    Darlinghurst Nights

    One more coffee and I must go
    Back to my room more chapters to go
    We'll meet up in an alley with more places I know

    I'm going to change my appearance everyday
    I'm going to write a movie and then I'm going to star
    in a play
    I'm going to go to Caracas because you know I'm
    just going to have to get away

    Marjorie and Kim, Andy and Clint, Debbie, Bertie, people came and went
    And then there was Suzie who we never ever saw again

    And always the traffic always the lights
    Climbing that hill star studded nights
    Joe played the cello

    Alright. Writer/s: GRANT MCLENNAN, ROBERT DERWENT GARTH FORSTER
