Track Insight / Lyrics
Stepping out on through the Newcastle gauntlet
Bearing my toolbox, these harborside rummets
Lights of the Casino astound, redevelopment gumboots
Repair jobs at theози end of the day on the quay hooks
Finding my stride, the streets alive
Nights like this, sparks ignite, revival time
Buskers by the bridge serenade the tides
Laughter echoes, the city keeps on riding
This edge of the world, the city's my stage
Lights of the harbor, my heart's valorous rage
From the prow of the Sydney Tower, to the Point break wave
Every night, I'm chasing the comeback
Girls in black dresses hurry, past the Quay Grill
Locals wearing curtains clapping at the jetty quill
Hooded eyes, winter beards, cross-stitch denim quilts
Nobody's noticed the neon puddles' liquid delights
Finding my stride, the streets alive
Nights like this, sparks ignite, revival time
Buskers by the bridge serenade the tides
Laughter echoes, the city keeps on riding
This edge of the world, the city's my stage
Lights of the harbor, my heart's valorous rage
From the prow of the Sydney Tower, to the Point break wave
Every night, I'm chasing the comeback
I lace up my cobber's cordial boots
Snatch a quick stingy mocha at the automated scoop
Nod to the pre-dawn sky, the stars recede
Switch on my Maglite, dive into the city's energy feed
Ghosts of glowing ships in Darling Harbour, calling me
Crashing waves and seagulls soaring, the city's symphony
I run the gamut, night patrol rituals
Riding the edge of the world, my heart triumphs over it
Pulse and lights fade out, night falls back in shadows on the quay
Work complete, new dawn approaches, as I walk away
