about

Another track featuring Jim Conway on harmonica. With a real country flavour the lyrics of the song are about a certain disenchantment with city life that coincides with a similar sentiment expressed in the chapter when Lillie decides to hitch to Sydney from Melbourne.

lyrics

8. Subway Blues

I can see them moving out now in single file.
Money in their pockets makes sure they’ve got a lot of style.
Ticket in the slot, ride the escalator.
Nameless faces don’t they fascinate you.

I’ve got the subway blues,
You know I want to lose
Those subway blues.

Might take a trip to Spain see a Spanish smile.
Sail the Caribbean or the river Nile.
Don’t want a house or shiny car,
But I’d like a set of drums and a bass guitar.

I’ve got the subway blues,
You know I want to lose
Those subway blues.

Well don’t the lights at night excite you?
Only wish that I had the right to,
Walk them alone; it’s a cold war zone.
And the fear of the knife, make me run for my life.
I’ve got nothing to lose but you know I want to choose,
To give my body to my friends and not my foes.

I’ve got those subway blues,
You know I want to lose
Those subway blues.

Well I might walk the streets or play my guitar on the corner
Any way I do it, I tell you I’m gonna.
Keep my head above this city shove.
Be one of the few who might learn to lose.

Those subway blues,
You know I want to lose
Those subway blues.
