Darlinghurst Road

Track No. 4

An old man shuffles down the street
He stops and smiles, and tips his hat
At the rich kids where they eat
But they don't know him
And they don't smile back
So he looks towards the sky
And wonders, why
And walks on by

A young girl wouldn't stand 'round here alone
Without that old guy right behind her
Wearing cheap cologne
Who says to her
As I walk past:
Go on now, catch his eye
Then wonders, why
I walk on by

Late night dancing
Overload
No romancing here
Out on Darlinghurst Road
Everything's ok
'Cos it's easy to say

Down the street a guy writes poetry
And as we talk he hands me one
And he tells me: It's not free
I say: That's nice
But what's the price
He tells me not to pry
Then starts to cry
And I walk on by

Late night dancing
Overload
No romancing here
Out on Darlinghurst Road
Everything's ok
'Cos it's easy to say

At the end of the day a store sells morsels from Bombay
To strippers who buy vindaloo
They don't eat anyway
They like the heat
Of foreign meat
The Indians supply
It gets them high
I wonder why

Young men keep on lying in the street
Sailors sigh while young girls cry
And homeless search for heat
Lives disappear
As we stand here
Just watching people die
You wonder, why
But walk on by
