about

Courtney, Paige and Emma are girls I know, who all love music, and are hella rock 'n' roll. They live in the Inner West of Sydney, the place with the late night pubs, the share houses, the restaurants, the students...and it tickled me that they were on the same journey I was at 20, moving to that area. And I think of friends like Paul Andrews, who plays drums on the record, thinking of me as a young kid moving into the neighbourhood. I think Elton John calls it the circle of life.

lyrics

Courtney’s moving to Newtown to start a band
Top floor room in a share house with friends of friends
She’ll play guitar
In all the bars
Courtney’s moving to Newtown to start a band

Paige is moving to Glebe for a change of scene
She’s outgrown the friends she had in her teens
The suburbs are
So very far
Paige is moving to Glebe for a change of scene

And yes there will be boys
In pretty band t-shirts
Who make a pretty noise
Who’ll get them pretty hurt
Still Courtney’s moving to Newtown to start a band

Emma’s moving to Enmore cos Courtney’s there
She’s practising drums and dying her hair
They need a bass
So they called Paige
Emma’s moving to Enmore cos Courtney’s there

And yes there will be boys
Who’re bound to break their hearts
But what’s the other choice
Just living in the suburbs married to some guy
And paying off a house until the day you die
And you turn into your mother as the world goes by
And having all these dreams and never even trying

Courtney’s moving to Newtown to start a band
She’s got two months deposit and she’s booked the van
The suburbs are
So very far
Courtney’s moving to Newtown to start a band
