This song is dedicated to all the true aussie yobbos out there who's only wish is to get pissed on grog, fuck hot chicks, get pizza deliveries and walk around half stoned all day - every day. Saturday night ! yeaaaah ..... bring on the grog fellas ! Lets get smashed at Kings Cross ! Whadooyasay??
Heading out to see Cold Chisel in concert tonight.....cant wait...I just KNOW they are going to sing this song, given it is Saturday night tonight lol...LOVE IT!
Yes a brilliant song that is as Australian as the footy hahaa LOVE IT X The anthem of our youth back then....and you can hear Split Enz at the start..
Kings Cross in the early 60's was the most exciting time of all, the yanks were coming here on R&R, the cops would drive thru the red light Palmer St and 200 blokes would bolt out the other end, Surf City rocked on the weekends, there were fewer cars people walked from Sydney to the Cross, it had a magic that won't be repeated. Yes and all the normal spivs & sharks were there but no-one bothered you and people were shoulder to shoulder looking for a good time.
The comment at the start: "Well if you don't like it, why you been standing there for 20minutes? " was recorded at the first Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney in the crowd, it was a comment by a guy at another guy watching it in disgust... LOL
One Saturday night, 1979, waiting to be served at the Victoria Square Pie-Cart, drunk and glazed, the guy next to me asked if I wanted his meal.
I said no, and he yelled "If you don't want it, why've you been staring at it for the last 20 minutes?", and then smeared the rest of his pie and peas down my shirt.
There were guys with black electronic boxes sitting on the steps of the Post Office.
I can't prove it's not a co-incidence (five years seems too long from sound-bite to album release).
Hanging out in the Cross all night, vomiting on the train to work Monday or Tuesday, after no sleep, great times. God you just felt so alive. That place had real energy. Used to love the bikies.
Here is a hard one to pick... at the start of the clip behind the radio announcer's voice is the play off from "Message to my Girl" by Split Endz. OMG what an amazing time to be alive when both these songs first were released.
Correct me if I am wrong... but listen careful but... as I have Golden Ears.
God Sydney was fun in the eighties. The boring fuckheads still hadn't totally taken over via unrealistic real estate prices. Most people still lived for the weekend. :)
Fuck yeah - the Cross in the eighties. A fun fun wild tourist attraction greedy developer free time. The cross doesn't deserve a capital letter to start its name these days......
i was born 20 years too late! missed out on all the REAL MUSIC where the artists acturally play instruments and not computers! where the songs have meaning and arn't just about drugs guns gangstas ass and tits and just crap! THIS IS REAL MUSIC.
This song reminds me of Sydney Harbour. Drinking wine and cocktails by the bay. Admiring the scenery (garden coves, boats and girls) .... and of course, waiting for the night to fall and getting stuck into a booze fueled night of grog, chicks and hotel rooms. This song is the epitomy of "true" Australian culture.
@tasteraus Love both singers in fact the whole band.My opinion is Mossy is great but no where near the power of jimmy's voice.
Listen to "when the war is over". Mossy sounds excellent but when jimmy comes in it takes a new level...and live the crowd feel it too. As i said don't get me wrong i love both.
Newtown, Liechardt, North Sydney, Pyrmont, Darling Harbour, The Rocks, Circular quay, Wynyard, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Kings X, & Woolomooloo its all about you!!!!
SPONTANEOUS or MUNTED weekends out in Sydney, you do not get, in any other state.. Luv Sydney!!!
I always thought, even 20 ywears ago, that everything about this album was ahead of its time. It didnt fit in then, maybe it never will, and thank fuck for that.
Great band, too sadly associated with fuckheads. Some of the more 'conservative' members of their fanbase would be horrified by the Mardi Gras getting a run in this video.
I remember sitting at my desk 'doing my homework' in year 10 or 11. I'd listen to this track over and over, homework didn't have a chance. I had a new pair of headphones and the guy at 0:57 who yells out "well if you don't like it what are you standing there for 20 minutes for?" only came through one channel and without fail, I'd turn my head to see who was shouting it out....
These guys are awesome, can't think of a single Aussie band that has come close in the last 30 years
Amen brother. I'm an ex-Sydney boy living in NZ for 10 years and this place has nothing on home, actually NZ's pretty crap and has a poor attitude but that's another story. Reminisce about the Chisel days, no worries in the world, chicks in tight jeans, aaahhhh take me back for another shot at those days.
@nzoz1984 its become a human feedlot , cows are led into the shed eachday via the freeway , fed a lil bit of green and farkin milked for everything down to the last drop.....and the sheep go on about the "quality of life" thats on offer here , poor punters will go thru life and never know whats its like to see it at all.
I am a happy Christian Scotsman living down under. Sadly however this nation is a Jewish controlled centre of NWO power but .. the Anglo Aussies always make me laugh when then chant Jews are Cunts.. that makes me smile!! Jews are Cunts !! Yes they are !! Jimmy Barnes is a dirty Jewish cunt !
Great comment Phil!! Wish I was there!! Yeah this song is awesome while getting drunk. Fucking awesome. Its one of those types of songs you can sing when the party's over and its just you and the remaining beers left over from the slab. Its a top song which is all about a bloke whos on his own and needs "company" to "light up" and then his "heart will shine". While its a great song, it also has a sad undertone and it tells the story of a forgotten person whos "desires are cold." Rock on mate !!
I was in the Kings Cross area staying at a hotel in Elizabeth Bay. It was a pretty crummy hotel but it had the BEST VIEW over the city and habour. At 4.00 in the morning I went on the balcony, and pissed like a parrot I sang this song to the highest decibel I could while skulling VB stubbies. People on the street below were telling me to "shut the fuck up" and I saw peoples lights go on and off in nearby appartments. It was classic !! ha ha ... this song is great for a piss up and bbq.
@nzoz1984 Sydney is such a hole, it keeps getting worse and the people have no idea of what a horrible place they have turned it into. Everyone is to self involved to even notice how pathetic they have become. Really ugly. I would love to get the fuck out too.

back when Sydney was a great night out...esp The Cross. Seems a bit dull these days. And the Mardi Gras back then seemed more exciting and had something to protest about... bit to p.c these days
Yeah Andy P222 that was me!!! Still into Chisel after all these years. And still alive man !!! Thanks But I think Barnsey is the Legend. and I did have a moustache,
Yup! Us Aussie guys still use Ajax as under arm deodorant. LOL. Makes me feel old, but this takes us back to a time when paid product placement was obviously not yet a part of the mainstream music video industry, at least not here in Australia. Mind you. That Coke bottle in the opening pan of khe sanh watch?v=Tv24elfqC-I might be taken as a product placement, but it still seems fairly innocent to me. ;)
I am driving accross USA...LA to NYC...cant help but feel OZ 1971-1986 is lost on them. How lucky we are - let us keep it our little secret. Come on in this clip (be honest) who does not recognise the Datsun Bluebird Econo-Gauge) (I have the Malcom Fraser ads)....so much that OZ is so much better....
Barnes and the lads were F%$%# Awsome..Best live band....I have seen many and Cold Chisel ROCKED !!..Man how good was Mossy live!! V*8 COLD CHISEL CONCERT BEST EVER
Seeing Ian Moss on the balcony at night looking over the mid 80's Syndey Skyline. I can almost smell the tobacco even though its years later. Those were the days when chicks held lighters at concerts rather than thousands of mobile phones. Those were the days when people really got pissed on grog and a good night was judged by who could get "off their rocka" first. This song is a song for the gambler, the cobber who would live day to day on "2 days money" looking for a sheila to "light" him up!
saw them in concert at the horden pavillion a long long time ago,,,,am going to the v8 tourning cars in dec and am gunna see em again..maybe our last time to see all the boys together
@jretro71 yeah totally agree with your comment mate!...although i was still in high school they were good years when you look back.!! this song brings back memories
Oh the memories of a twenty something living in country Victoria...simple life, great friends.....good times! If I could beam myself back to those days and live them all over again, I'd do it in a heartbeat!
This song is so underrated. It really is a masterpiece. It combines all the "rough edge" of Kings Cross, mixed in with some partying, grog culture, mood and gloom and raw emotion. The way the chorus rises "got the keys to the city" is one of the most powerful rising choruses of the Aussie rock scene.
Years ago at the beefsteak and bourbon....rolled in and had a few. Last time it looked like a Freedom store. Australian 'joints' getting knocked over...
too many of our landmarks have been redeveloped to suit tha govt tourist industry.....i'm sure tha backpacka's 'n' general tourist's would've loved the original Cross with ALL it's glory!
Essefen LOVES the Cross!!! Bwaahaaaa!

ya gotta love the "mens products" in the bathroom. AJAX and a home brand type Shave cream.. hahah love it.. no metrosexuals to be seen...

Yup! Us Aussie guys still use Ajax as under arm deodorant. LOL. Makes me feel old, but this takes us back to a time when paid product placement was obviously not yet a part of the mainstream music video industry, at least not here in Australia. Mind you. That Coke bottle in the opening pan of khe sanh watch?v=Tv24elfqC-I might be taken as a product placement, but it still seems fairly innocent to me. ;)

I am driving accross USA...LA to NYC...cant help but feel OZ 1971-1986 is lost on them. How lucky we are - let us keep it our little secret. Come on in this clip (be honest) who does not recognise the Datsun Bluebird Econo-Gauge) (I have the Malcom Fraser ads)....so much that OZ is so much better....

Seeing Ian Moss on the balcony at night looking over the mid 80's Syndey Skyline. I can almost smell the tobacco even though its years later. Those were the days when chicks held lighters at concerts rather than thousands of mobile phones. Those were the days when people really got pissed on grog and a good night was judged by who could get "off their rocka" first. This song is a song for the gambler, the cobber who would live day to day on "2 days money" looking for a sheila to "light" him up!

This song is so underrated. It really is a masterpiece. It combines all the "rough edge" of Kings Cross, mixed in with some partying, grog culture, mood and gloom and raw emotion. The way the chorus rises "got the keys to the city" is one of the most powerful rising choruses of the Aussie rock scene.
