lyrics

The morning found me aching
Shot from pils and booze
I guess there's no mistaking
I've got to pay my dues

The sun come up like a burden
From the ground
and forced me to start a new

That night I had been dreaming
About my old mate Peter Hughes
Under satellites beaming
I'd wondered how he kept his soulful views

and he said
I've been around the world son
and what I've found
In the end it's all up to you and
I shook his hand and drank a pot of beer
and vowed to push on through

Working in the city
Talking on the phone
To the billboards I was screaming
Leave the working man alone

How can you say you're out
For the good of all
When you're way too concerned
About your own and

With a beaten heart and
A head full of ideas
I went and caught the tram home

With the hectic fuckin' city blues
