One Long Day Lyrics - Cold Chisel - Cold Chisel

City life is closing in on me 

The way things go, thirty years, 

Bus timetable'll be my elergy 

Up at seven every working day 

Pay comes in, pay goes out 

It's a week-by-week charade 

General panic in the marketplace 

Boss found hung in office 

Could not stand the pace 

And as the peak-hour traffic jams below 

Someone gets the story, somebody spread the rumour 

People come and go 

Wandered down along the river last night 

Call me romantic, I say I couldn't sleep 

Until the first-light struck me down

Padding homeward on the inside lane 

Early morning, freeway's cool and quiet 

Dodging rubber stains 

People talking in a seaside bar 

I ain't sentimental, but Lord 

Sometimes I get that gypsy urge to travel far 

You know I'll disappear some long weekend 

Find a mangrove landscape 

Stretch out along some busted jetty 

And forget who I am 

You go to move 

You got to go 

You go to be somebody 

You got to roll 

You got to stop 

You got to change 

You got to make a little money 

And be a little strange 

Photos 

And one long day 

Is all it takes to steal her heart away 

One long night 

And it's allright, you've done it again 

Soft, low words 

And slender ladies, beneath the cafe fans 

One long day 

Layed by dreams 

Cotton dresses, a Spanish border town 

Dreams so far 

From the subway, the crowds heading home 

Close each day 

In technicolor, a million miles away 

One long night and you're alone 

Meanwhile 

City ways 

Life goes creeping on 

Sometimes 

I get the blues
