about
This song is about Adelaide, my home town, a place I love.
lyrics
I am the Eagle on the Hill
I am the long lost son of Don Dunstan
I am dark in the suburbs at night
But I'll never forget Colonel William Light
I'm not trying to be cool
When I ask you where you went to school
I am trying to connect
Is it too much to ask for a little respect?
I am all the prettiest girls
I am the best three pubs in the whole damn world
I am your husband, I am your wife
I've never eaten a frog cake in all of my life
And I still don't know which way to go
Every time I'm at the airport I see someone I know
I am a courtesy wave from the car
If it's more than twenty minutes then it's too far
I am not trying to compete
I'm asleep under the statue on Hindley Street
I'm eight hours from the shack
Catching Tommy Ruffs, not throwing them back
I am 3AM at La Sing
I'll bring a plate of pikelets to your wedding
And I still don't know which way to go
Every time I'm at the airport I see someone I know
And I never have to be alone
I am family, I am home
I'm where the hills meet the sea
I'm kicking autumn leaves and between you and me
I am not looking East wondering why
I am the Blazing Sun, I am the Endless Sky
And I still don't know which way to go
Every time I'm at the airport I see someone I know
And I never have to be alone
I am family, I am Home.
