Circus Animals album released 8 March 1982, Side Two, Track #5. One of Cold Chisel's BEST songs. When it's time for your reflection As you wait till help arrives You see our good friend's face on the dashboard And you know you cannot leave that cab alive Don't you know I reach for you, from later times Once I knew Once I knew Now I'm walking Now I'm walking in the dark (come on) Like bells our dogs are yelling All across Centennial Park And the Sunday morning light just sends me blind And I'm only feeling useless 'Cause there's noone I can blame Every person, thing and circumstance That moves this perfect day You've left behind And I'm thinking Christmas 1982 (come on) Around this time a year ago Gaskill sold his boat And headed for the Cross to sink a few Never trust a Wayside Chapel crowd On Christmas Eve They must be entertained And if a stranger does the dying Then that's O.K.! And I'm sitting in this hotel room Along Rue St. Louis Dialing old phone-numbers down the line I measure my position To the obstacles we crossed The territory covered And the parties that we lost Those were the days And if I don't hang around Our old gambling grounds It does not mean that I've forgotten We believed, and I still do (One, two, three) Those were the days
I'm pretty sure Jimmy turned up Ian Moss's Marshall amp, which is pretty cool. Also I love this song - so personal.
Amazing that Jimmy can still hit these notes - one of Chisels BEST EVER SONGS. Don Walker u champ!!!!
Rarely performed live. My favourite Chisel's song.
If he remembered the words it would help
@@martinlewis2647 Who cares with an intro like that.
@@forddriver8827 You're correct, that intro does set this song as a favourite, which is why...
Very underrated classic song and one of the best chisel songs.

When it's time for your reflection
As you wait till help arrives
You see our good friend's face on the dashboard
And you know you cannot leave that cab alive
Don't you know I reach for you, from later times
Once I knew
Once I knew
Now I'm walking
Now I'm walking in the dark (come on)
Like bells our dogs are yelling
All across Centennial Park
And the Sunday morning light just sends me blind
And I'm only feeling useless
'Cause there's noone I can blame
Every person, thing and circumstance
That moves this perfect day
You've left behind
And I'm thinking
Christmas 1982 (come on)
Around this time a year ago
Gaskill sold his boat
And headed for the Cross to sink a few
Never trust a Wayside Chapel crowd
On Christmas Eve
They must be entertained
And if a stranger does the dying
Then that's O.K.!
And I'm sitting in this hotel room
Along Rue St. Louis
Dialing old phone-numbers down the line
I measure my position
To the obstacles we crossed
The territory covered
And the parties that we lost
Those were the days
And if I don't hang around
Our old gambling grounds
It does not mean that I've forgotten
We believed, and I still do
(One, two, three)
Those were the days
Mossy confirmed that the Barking Spiders Enmore gig will be a future Live Tapes release. 👍🏻
Legends and their ours, Thanks to chisel for the soundtrack to my life.
Legendary
Ian's boots are HUGE.
Bass players are cool, by definition, but Phil Small is definitely ice cold.
Horrendous noise😁👍
