Somewhere in Sydney - Skyhooks

Somewhere in Sydney there’s a lady so pretty

When she crosses the harbour she’s the queen of the city

Somewhere in Sydney there’s a lady so sweet

She hides her tattoo when she’s out on the street

Well it might look like Monaco

But it sure ain’t Greece

They gave us Sin City on a million year lease

Ten miles outa Sydney

On Freeway Five

The radio’s playin' just as fast as you drive

Somewhere in Sydney upon Bellevue Hill

There’s a gay boy with a new toy

Movin' in for the kill

Somewhere in Sydney there’s a boy with a hit

Who’s shakin' the city and he just won’t quit

Well it might look like Monaco

But it sure ain’t Greece

They gave us Sin City on a million year lease

Ten miles outa Sydney on Freeway Five

The radio’s playin' just as fast as you drive

Sydney sweet Sydney I love your red roofs

And I’m spendin' all my money in your telephone booths

So many people so many types

So much truth and so much hype

I get anonymous letters from the North Shore

They don’t read like hard core

Name droppers on the road from my hometown

Bein' around just to be around

And there ain’t no rats in the high rise flats

Where the clouds float by my window

And the sounds on the streets are so discreet

And they’re all in their own special lingo
