Standing On the Outside - Cold Chisel

Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Brother you don't know a nicer occupation Matter of fact, neither do I Than standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by I'm the cat that got the cream Haven't got a girl but I can dream Haven't got a girl but I can wish So I'll take me down to Main street And that's where I select my imaginary dear Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye Brother, if you've got a rich imagination Give it a whirl, give it a try Try standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by... Brother, you can't go to jail for what you're thinking Or for that wooed look in your eye Standing on the corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by...

My days have grown so lonely For you I cried, for you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you, body and soul I spend my days in longing I wonder why it's me you're wronging I gladly surrender Myself to you, body and soul One more chance My life a wreck you're making You know I'm yours Yours for the taking Why haven't you seen me I'm all for you, body and soul My body and soul (Brother) (Brother)

This is for the ones who stayed up through the night This is for the ones who ain't give up the fight This is for the ones who stuck to their guns And they didn't budge because they knew they were in the right Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning That's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning That's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving I'm wishing that A lot of things in my life start to go right I'm hoping that With the pain you went through we won't forget you I'm thinking that to take a step in your shoes is hard to do I'm praying that I can at least do decent through your teaching I'm wishing and hoping and thinking and praying That we remember our origins because y'all worked so hard Sacrificed for your kids Our heroes had to struggle and hustle so that we could live I'm only standing on your shoulders thank you for the lift I Gotta say Thank You So Thank You This is for the ones who stayed up through the night Thank You This is for the ones who ain't give up the fight Thank You This is for the ones who stuck to their guns And they didn't budge because they knew they were in the right Thank You Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving The only reason I'm here Is you stood tall in the face of fear The only reason I'm here is cause your blood, your sweat, your tears Your pain, your gain, your strength, your strain You kept us dry, you weathered the rain Never heard you ever complain It's absurd, it hurts could I do the same? And this is why I honor you Sometimes I feel I've squandered life This is the honest truth I just wish I had your fight So I could see it through So thank you for the height Now I can see the view Its looking beautiful I Gotta say Thank You So Thank You This is for the ones who stayed up through the night Thank You This is for the ones who ain't give up the fight Thank You This is for the ones who stuck to their guns And they didn't budge because they knew they were in the right Thank You Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving

OK here's a, here's a reasonably new song This one's, this one's all about Ita Buttrose Every night when I crawl home There's a time, I still look forward to When all the boys are gathered around Shoutin' "Ita's on TV" And though the roaches are thick on the ground There is always someone trying Somebody tryin' to close the window down Get a dose of integrity And every housewife through the land Get to drinking down another Valium I believe, I believe, in what she said Yes I do I believe, I believe, at the end of the day Her magazine'll see me through Ita's tongue never touches her lip She could always be my godmother And though the desktop hides her hip My imagination's strong She's the sweetest thing I ever seen I'd like to take her out to dinner But when I think of all the places I've been Probably hold my fork all wrong Every night and every day She's the only friend we can depend upon I believe, I believe, in what she said Yes I do I believe, I believe, at the end of the day Her magazine'll see me through Every week in every home She's got wholesome news for the family How could I not believe when Ita tells me to Every night and every day She's the only friend we can depend upon How could I not believe when Ita tells me to How could I not believe when Ita tells me to How could I not believe when Ita tells me to How could I not believe when Ita I love you I really do, I really do love you
