Not My Kind Lyrics - Icehouse

Inside this city, on this empty train 

hoping that the late night never lets me go 

I travel to the station, to the underground 

Where the dark is a friend to me 

we race along the subways 

he's a cold hand on my shoulder 

he has a plan to get you nowhere 

and the wind is a friend to me 

we're singing on the sidewalk 

with the gay boys in the back street 

there's a new band and a new beat 

well, I remember every now and then 

some of the places that we used to go 

but, baby, tonight I'm drunk and I don't care 

and the dark is a friend to me 

we race along the subways 

with the gay boys in a back street 

there's a new gang and a new beat 

now it all comes back to me 

we're singing on the sidewalk 

There's a cold hand on my shoulder 

another plan will get you nowhere 

now it all comes back to me 

you look so stranded, are you all alone? 

I wish there was something more that I could say 

you may be someone that I used to know 

now that's a memory, that was yesterday 

so take a hold, now, 

don't ever let love go 

don't give it up, now 

don't ever let them know 

you shake me, babe, you shake me, babe 

you give it up so fine 

you shake so fine 

they turn their faces and they hide their eyes 

they don't want to understand, they tell you love is a lie 

There's a man on the corner, screaming at the street
