lirik lagu i went alone on a solo australian tour – walter martin
[verse 1]
i went alone on a solo australian tour
(what’d you do that for?)
because it’d been a while since i’d been out to see the world
(but it’s so far away!)
yeah, that’s true but long trips are good for me
(what are they good for?)
’cause i need time alone to organise my dreams
(what did you see there?)
i saw some nice folks and some sunny cities, too
(who did you meet there?)
i met a guy who’d been punched in the face by a kangaroo—that’s true
(i’ve heard that happens there)
[chorus]
down here i don’t know no-one
and no-one knows me
no no no no no no no no..
(yeah yeah!)
[verse 2]
on a plane from melbourne to brisbane
(did you get some sleep there?)
naw, ’cause i was surrounded by thirty twelve-year-old girls from the queensland gymnastics team
(what were they up to?)
little ones next to me were laughing and whispering too
(what a nightmare)
yeah and they kept staring at me like i was some exotic animal at the zoo
(what did you think of brisbane?)
it was pretty, i found a sunny spot and drank beer all day
(sounds lovely)
[chorus]
down here i don’t know no-one
and no-one knows me
no no no no no no no no..
(yeah yeah!)
[verse 3]
(you said this was a tour, but you haven’t mentioned any shows)
well i was getting to that…
(did you make any money?)
yeah i did fine, actually
(did you make any friends?)
yeah i did, i met some really great people down there
(did you write any songs?)
um, just this one really
(how was your show at the sydney opera house?)
oh it was great, y’know? it was amazing to play there
(did you have a band?)
yeah i had a band just for that one show, um, and all the rest were solo shows
(did anyone come to your solo shows?)
i mean, not really, but i still enjoyed ’em
(what about them did you enjoy?)
uh, people seemed to actually like those art history songs i wrote, so y’know, it was encouraging
(do you like to be alone?)
yeah i’ve always liked to be alone
(does it give you time to think?)
yeah, i mean, that’s what i like about it
(what do you think about?)
uh, i don’t know… i think about lots of things
(like what?)
uh, you know, i think about like… songs i’m working on, and i think about my kids and my wife and i think about the future… i think about death
(death?)
yeah, i mean, doesn’t everyone?
(do you believe in the afterlife?)
uh i don’t know actually, do you?
(yes!)
really? how are you so sure?
(it just seems like there must be something else)
yeah, i mean, it’d be great but who knows, y’know?
(yeah, i guess)
hey where are you from, anyway?
(new jersey)
oh really? where in jersey?
(secaucus)
oh sorry, was it a total pain in the -ss to get over here from secaucus?
(yes, and it’s actually pr-nounced ‘see-caucus’)
oh, it is? i’ve always said ‘suh-caucus’)
(yeah, a lot of people do)
