Track Insight / Lyrics
Electric piano stabs, slap bass thumps, horns punctuate
Lighthouse lamps cast shadowy tales
Over Sydney's weathered harbor quays
I polish the leathers, worn and teal
Guarding secrets of the harbor's zeal
In the city of vice and dreams so bright
I'm alone up here nights, polishing in the light
Guarding tales of love and shame and delight
In Sydney's harbor, where neon meets the night
The wind and waves a symphony play
As I buff the boots of sailors far away
Stories of their journeys, dreams pursued and slayed
Echoes in the darkness of the harbor bay
In the city of vice and dreams so bright
I'm alone up here nights, polishing in the light
Guarding tales of love and shame and delight
In Sydney's harbor, where neon meets the night
The scent of tar and salt, a primal call
Memories of ships that sailed and never came at all
I'm anchored here, a steadfast, patient soul
Watching Sydney's stories etch their own
The DV8's neon rays, a cheerful guide
Reflecting on the water, a strobing tide
I dream of far-off ports, of adventures wild
But here I stand, in shining, polished style
In the city of vice and dreams so bright
I'm alone up here nights, polishing in the light
Guarding tales of love and shame and delight
In Sydney's harbor, where neon meets the night
I'm leather-bound and watching over the town
With each polish stroke, a memory's renown
In Sydney's harbor, where the city's heart beats bright
I shine on through the night, guardian of stories in light
Slap bass, horns fade into the dawn light
