What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

COLD CHISEL  "east"  cd, 1980

a revisit...
Aussie pub-rock/blues rock band...
known for their hard liquor consumption as much as their music back in the day...
their third album of nine, 5x platinum in their homeland and their biggest seller to date...
lots of ragged raw blues rock on here with several ballads thrown in for good measure...
usually features in the top 5 'greatest albums of all time here in Australia..
and to put them into perspective, they were the only band who back in the day could equal or out sell AC/DC in this country...
if you like simple honest rock and roll give these guys a listen...
love just about everything about this album...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

not a single but an excellent album opener:






Standing on the outside lookin' in
Standing on the outside lookin' in
Oh-oh, I never strayed outside the law.

Standing on the outside lookin' in
Room full of money and the born to win
No amount of work's gonna get me through the door.

When I go walkin' down Bluewater Bay
Surface in the city at the end of the day
Oh-oh, I got a bad case of the benz
Standing on the sidewalk you can see
Somebody everybody wants to be
They got the means to justify every end
I had a friend broke through illegally
Pulled a job on a small-town T.A.B.
Five grand down on her own piece of Eden
And I know...
And I know...

The first thing I do when I get into town
Is buy a twenty-two and cut the whole thing down
No amount of work's gonna buy my way to Freedom

I'm on the outside lookin' in
Standing on the outside lookin' in
Oh Yeah!
