Icehouse

Icehouse is an Australian rock band, formed as Flowers in 1977 in Sydney. Initially known in Australia for their pub rock style, they later achieved mainstream success playing New Wave and synthpop style music and attained Top Ten singles chart success in both Europe and the U.S. The mainstay of both Flowers and Icehouse has been Iva Davies (singer-songwriter, record producer, guitar, bass, keyboards, oboe) supplying additional musicians as required. The name Icehouse, which was adopted in 1981, comes from an old, cold flat Davies lived in and the strange building across the road populated by itinerant people. more »

Inside this city, on this empty train
Hoping that the late night never lets me go
I travel to the station, to the underground

Where the dark is a friend to me
We race along the subways
He's a cold hand on my shoulder
He has a plan to get you nowhere
And the wind is a friend to me
We're singing on the sidewalk
With the gay boys in the back street
There's a new band and a new beat

Well, I remember every now and then
Some of the places that we used to go
But, baby, tonight I'm drunk and I don't care

And the dark is a friend to me
We race along the subways
With the gay boys in a back street
There's a new gang and a new beat
Now it all comes back to me
We're singing on the sidewalk
There's a cold hand on my shoulder
Another plan will get you nowhere
Now it all comes back to me

You look so stranded, are you all alone?
I wish there was something more that I could say
You may be someone that I used to know
Now that's a memory, that was yesterday
So take a hold now
Don't ever let love go
Don't give it up now
Don't ever let them know
You shake me, babe
You shake me, babe
You give it up so fine
You shake so fine

They turn their faces and they hide their eyes
They don't want to understand; they tell you love is a lie
There's a man on the corner screaming at the street
"Don't let it get you"
Who are these people
Every one of them green
All acting like they're friends of mine?
They haven't got a reason, man
They got no rhyme
I don't want to stay here
This is wasting my time
She's just another girl
He's just another boy, and they're
Not my kind
