on the city bus at Windy
With my hands tremblin'
And a junkie was screaming,
it was the end of the world,
I'm just remembering
You and I would walk up Broadway,
talking about all the things that
we would do
But I heard that you got married to a fella
That had a waterfront view
From the waterfront,
from the quay into the
Bondi skies
From the wa terfront,
we set the sails
and let the evening get us high
But I'm on the hunt my love,
to get through my work,
and look you in the eye
But they took away our fun,
and left us in this prison paradise
In prison paradise
on a wa terfront
On a waterfront
On
In a prison paradise
On a wa terfront
On a wa terfront
On a wa terfront
Today I walked around
From the same place,
drunk from the past in the sun
And all the cafe grits say this is it
Well I hope they haven't won
But we used to make that music
And start revolution in
the street
Take our friends into the strip joints
and complain about the
Darlinghurst heat
But all the wa terfront ancestors,
they sold their ships
and cried upon the shore
Boys that came in chains
and drank their shame
And the English broke their stone
They went on the hunt, my love
Stopped the dreamin' with their
fire and snow and ice
They weren't the first ones,
here won't be the last
This is not our prison paradise
It's this, a prison paradise
On the waterfront
On the waterfront
On the waterfront
In the prison paradise
On the wa terfront
On the waterfront
Went to the place where
we grew up
Where we drank in the park
and we never got caught
I'm born two years
and you told me you loved me
While the private school kids fought
I joined a band in a King Street bar
When there was stealing on the ground
But now nobody comes to the shows
And we all melt and melt
When B .E .R. and Sonic come
They were put in chains
or pulled on the run
Just so that you could have your fun
It's not the same for everyone
Is this comfortable?
Is this nice?
Your prison paradise
Prison paradise
On a wa terfront
On a waterfront
On a prison paradise
On a waterfront
On a wa terfront
On a waterfront
