about

Place names in songs are interesting. Does the word 'Jackson' actually have poetic power - or is it just that it's used in songs that we give it that power? A lot of this album was trying to work that out. I wanted songs to have a sense of place, but that sense of place could be anywhere. But this is probably more a love song for the neighbourhood I love so much more than anything else. Where I had many of my victories, and many of my failures. Drop by sometime.

lyrics

I'll face it
You are never coming home
To Australia Street or Sydenham Road Sometimes someone has to go
How I miss the days
Before you went away
I’d love to
Be sitting ‘round a drink with you
At the Town Hall or the Warren View See your sister sometimes too
I don’t see her these days
She moved to Neutral Bay
I’m doing OK
But the Inner West still misses you
I'll face it
I’ll never hear your voice again
It’s just the sound of passing planes New teenagers on the train
Wearing all those clothes
We wore years ago
You know that
The boys are still hanging out
On Sundays down at the Courthouse Some of them have kids now
We wonder if you’re good
You miss the neighbourhood They’re doing OK
But the Inner West still misses you
How I miss the days Before you ran away I’m doing OK
I'll face it
I’ll never see that face again
On platform nineteen in the rain New teenagers on the train
The kids we were before
We aren't anymore
I’m doing OK
But the Inner West still misses you
