Sydney is full arseholes.... but as Paul says, when the rain has just fallen in the evening and you're heading down William Street heading towards Kings Cross, it truly does look just like a Post Card. Kings Cross would not be the same without the Coca Cola sign giving the whole place a red tinge.... appropriate really ;)
Paul Kelly is such an Australian Icon...it's so great that he sings about places that i've been many times during my life...the MCG, anyone?? GO PAUL!!! He's such an amazing songwriter...
this song is fucking good i've been there i was living in grey street and i saw everything in st kilda .i think it's the best place to live in melbourne.
I had the chance to watch Paul Kelly in live while I was living in London in the 90's. The atmosphere was amazing, a hundred of australians and a couple of spanish (me and my girlfriend ... where is she now?) Anyway, the concert will keep in my mind 4 ever.
This song was featured on Post & I think he recorded it again later on. But it is a song I cherish & have loved it since first hearing it.

Sydney is a great city, but you'll find Paul still alive and well, living in StKilda.

Just quietly though Sydney is full of wankers now. Would be hard to see the beauty through the popped collars these days.

One of those songs that brings back so many memories personally, and tugs at the heartstrings in a unique way. I think it's these lines:
"I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
All that land and all that water,
for that one sweet promenade"
(and for anyone who ever truly called Melbourne home, I'd say that's a pretty fair trade!)
What Billy Joel did for New York City with "New York State of Mind", I think Paul Kelly does for Melbourne with this song.
