Daugthers of the Northern Coast

A fantastic Australian Crawl song from James Reyne's "One Night in Melbourn" DVD. Buy it!
Lyrics:
Ain't nothing like the windy city
Where the station-wagon died
Where the wild dogs meet the fences
And the horsemen, fences ride
Where the flatlands become flatlands
And the caravans collide
I'm just sitting 'neath the mango
Running a tide
Took a ride on a bin-train
50 cars or more
They say the heads are just insane
But it's too risky to score
Sittin' on the lawn with Andrea
Draggin' the line for big red
Everyone looks better with a suntan
Easier to get you into bed
Daughters of the northern coast
Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post
You know the post is a ghost
Lee Marlin went lookin' for a marvin
While we were looking for a line at the pub
Hey, and still the black man's starvin'
No wonder nobody wants a job
Helicopter over homestead
Stirring all the young blades at night
They're steppin' out there in the sultry summer evening
Their pistols all packed
And their badges so bright
Daughters of the northern coast
Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post
You know the post is a ghost
Took a ride on a bin-train
50 cars or more
They say the heads are just insane
But it's too risky to score
Andrea's been giving me a towel down
Standing on a palm beach shore
If 'n'those girls keep a doin' that thing
I can't wait for next year
I'm gonna come back for more
Daughters of the northern coast
Sons of beaches, don't deliver the post
You know the post is a ghost

I feel so fortunate to have lived my formative years as part of the 70's 80's surf culture. This song sums it up in laconic Australian excellence punctuated by Telecacter and Stratocaster bite. Brillant. The lead guitarist Brett Kingman is really on fire too.

James Reyne playing a guitar solo? Don't give up your day job lol, good song

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

You are spot on, walked out after 10 minutes seeing him play alone with a guitar in a pub. Goes to show he thinks he can be a one man entity, he cannot, and that is what PRIDE does to you.

Emanuel Mifsud How many albums have YOU sold?

[@timreddoch3803]

@@jamesgray7576 exactly. He’s a great songwriter and performer. He’s never claimed to be anyone other than who he is, and he represents us aussies beautifully. Go and write a song that so articulately describes social divides as hoochie gucci fiorucci mama does and let us know when its ready!

[@jamesgray7576]

@@timreddoch3803 Seemingly you’ve directed your ill in formed missive towards (quite possibly) James’s biggest fan EVER. I’d suggest re-reading the correspondence within this thread, and direct your sarcasm towards more needy individuals.

Not Kurt Cobain for sho🤭
