A ragtime walk through Adelaide's red-light district, all the characters and madness...and the loneliness
lyrics
There’s a Cuban squatting squinting in the sun
He aint got no home he’s skin and bone
A
And there’s a woman right behind him smoking a cigarette
E
And her hide turns to leather in the morning sun
B
And there’s places in their eyes that you can almost see
A E B
In the lonely lonely heart of Hindley

E
Now Shannon’s going crazy at horse (what about me?)
He thinks the bouncer should let him in, of course
A
And Cy used to work at that bar over there
E
And the barman says ‘he was always a little strange’ (strange?) strange
B
And the people let their hair down and everyone goes nuts
A E B
In the lonely crazy heart of Hindley
Instrumental E E A E B A E
V3
E
All the pimps and spivs in their suits and bling
Cars goin slow so the girls can sing ‘hi sexy’
A
And the boys are a sight in their silly mock fights
E
Across from Grandmaster Leung’s Wing Chun
B
There’s a bloke in an afro goin sideways
A
He’s hangin with the homeless prams
E B E
On Hindley
