about

This song is about Fremantle. If you haven't been to Fremantle, I have taken lots of 360 panoramas of Fremantle, which are at www.jumpingspider.com.au.

lyrics

Lonely After All

Dave and Marie are circle dancing at the Fly-By-Night
They call me over to join the circle but I'm alright
I'm not in the mood for dancing so I step outside
Fremantle's shiny and bright
But I'm not dancing tonight, it's just me and my mind
Am I selfish am I wrong?

Police have blocked off the road and they're telling me "Turn around"
There's a tarpaulin hiding something on the ground
Tomorrow's paper will say a lady got run down
Crossing over the road
But I'm not bothered tonight, it's just me and my mind
Am I selfish am I wrong?
And am I gonna be lonely after all?

Seagulls are having sex in the car park at Hungry Jack's
It seems to be consensual so I'm okay with that
I bought a packet of smokes from the servo driving back
There's some beers in the fridge
But they won't soothe me tonight, it's just me and my mind
Am I selfish am I wrong?
And am I gonna be lonely after all?
