lyrics

Well I'm walking down Keppel Street
I'm watching the shops close down
this time last year this place had a buzz
what's going on in this town?
and I'm way past hungry
there's nowhere to go
it's as if some unseen hand from some unseen man
was pulling the strings and he don't like his food slow
but it's dead in the street
tell me where I'm s'posed to eat

There's a boy up at Machattie park
a girl down getting off a train
and nothing to do and nowhere to go
and nothing but For Lease signs in every shop window
and he's so cool and she's so fine
if they got together they could have a good time
and you know it
but it's dead in the street
tell me how they're s'posed to meet

Now they're hyping up the heritage
while they're pulling the cottages down
call it hypocrisy call it bald faced lies
call it playing the middle against both of the sides
he likes his new buildings old
his old buildings gone
he calls it business I call it getting it wrong
and you don't do anything soulful or thoughtful or slow
just tilt up a concrete box turn the AC way down low
and it's dead in the street
tell me how we're s'posed to meet
