lyrics

hanging round on street corners
waiting for ghosts
feeling mean and leaning drunk
against the lamp posts

with my nicotine and wine stains
whiskey weed and loose change
i can’t feel anything
i can’t feel anything

first time that i saw you
in your cotton and curls
you had your guitar on
singing that song
about a lonely small-town girl

you said you had that travelin’ bone
that we’d never get no blood from this stone
and this was not the kind of ship
that you planned to go down with

you said baby don’t you want to run
they can chase their tails honey
we’re gonna chase the sun
you know if we don’t we’re done

you’re big dreams weigh too heavy girl
big dreams is all they are
like a hollow moon - a broken river
a fancy stolen car

i was anchored to my foolish pride
so i watched you as you found your stride
left me waiting for my ship to come in
left me waiting to feel anything

i’m just hanging round on street corners
waiting for ghosts
feeling mean and leaning drunk
against the lamp posts

with my nicotine and wine stains
whiskey weed and loose change

“Raised By Eagles’ songs are the kind you fall in love with at the first listen and then endlessly trawl bars and venues across Melbourne to be near again. This is no crush. This is a great, enduring romance.” –

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
