Friday Night - Redgum

I remember those summers like a dream ago

Nights so high, and weeks so slow

Backyard parties comin in waves

Scratched LP’s and Purple Haze

Punched the clock, paid my union dues

Swapped my sneakers for my steel toe shoes

Take away dusk, cappuccino dawn

Pimps and strippers, golden limbs, spice of life, whiff of sin

Friday night, don’t drag your feet

Young blood pumpin' to a strange back beat

Friday night like Bundy neat

Smells so sleazy and tastes so sweet

Fifteen bucks cause my boards in hock

Petrol on credit, car on blocks

Old man’s spanners, old man’s jack

Grease on the nipple and a new set of fats

My little brother’s boppin' to the summertime blues

Flyin too high on aeroplane glue

Dad said he had prospects growing up clean

Come the night, neon skies, another pale kid with the fire in his eyes

Friday night, don’t drag your feet

Young blood pumpin' to a strange back beat

Friday night like Bundy neat

Smells so sleazy and tastes so sweet

Neon circus but there’s not enough lights

Urban jungle but there’s nothing to fight

Twist and shimmy black wrap arounds

Red stillettos, cut concrete, puttin on cool in a city on heat

Friday night, don’t drag your feet

Young blood pumpin' to a strange back beat

Friday night like Bundy neat

Smells so sleazy and tastes so

Friday night, don’t drag your feet

Young blood pumpin' to a strange back beat

Friday night like Bundy neat

Smells so sleazy and tastes so sweet
