Kings Cross words and music by Luke Hurley

lyrics

Somebody told me
Kings Cross means money
I stand here singing
They stand there flinging them
Stones not money
They think its funny

Born again raving
Luke you need saving
You don’t have no mission
You don’t have
My religion
You play for money
You don’t make much

By you know one day
I gonna break away

I might settle in the country
I might settle in the town
I might jump in the Tasman

And drown

Somebody told me
Play “golden oldies”
Not what you’re feeling
You got to play
What the people are dreaming
You gotta play
What they know already
Unfamiliarity breeds contempt
You see there’s an exception to every proverb

And you’re living it son
And you wanna follow your heart
Good luck
You gonna need it
He was right
The more it hurts
The more it should
You play for yourself and the money’s no good
But sometimes you can come in out of the cold
You can rest your soul
Here I am
Here you are
Oh yeah
