Lyrics:
Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
One nurse to hold her
One nurse to wheel her down
The corridors of heeling
And I've been trying
But she's crying like a refugee
Loves me like a sister
Loves me like an only child
Loves me like a sister
Loves me like an only child
She's my connection
I'll hold on
And never, never, never let her down
Cause she's alone
And she loves me like an only child
Suffer little children
Send that little child to me
All day the doctor
Handles his responsibility
Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
Looking like a choirgirl
Crying like a refugee
She's my connection
I'll hold on
And never, never, never let her down
Cause she's alone
And she's crying like a refugee

As a US Naval Aviator, our carrier made a port call in Perth. The locals were great and by chance introduced myself and friends to your Great rock band Cold Chisel. Still enjoying Jimmy and the boys to this day, 2022. Thanks to my friends in Perth and also Hobart for the treat their music..

Ian Moss played for the Aussie troops in East Timor 13 or 14 years ago, just him by himself. Some young ones only knew him as the "guitarist from Cold Chisel" but after his show that night he got plenty of new fans of his own. Great experience.

it all started to go down hill (music) in the Digital Age...Mid 1980's and invention of the Compact Disc. Not that all was bad at first, but studio recording became a means in which Artist could take shortcuts and make sounds that were created on computers...

They did try to break it into the American music scene but they got shafted by their American record company. After they got back to Australia they released a song called "You have nothing I want " which is an up you to the American record executives.

Many Australian bands have been great, even tour in U.S.A but seem to be ignored, I've shown several people in U.S Australian songs and they loved them. Cold Chisel John Farnham Australian Crawl Crowded House Screaming Jets Grinspoon There was earlier Johnny O'Keefe Sherbet and Skyhooks Off the top of my head, and probably about a dozen more rock bands of such quality...we have our own metal and rap ect.. But going by 70s/80s Aussie Radio or Pub classics there's a few to start you there.. Obviously don't need to add AC/DC or Bee Gees...they made it

[@campinatorxbox1610]

@@Lizards_Lounge thanks for sending a list I'm going to have to look these bands up.

[@Lizards_Lounge]

@@campinatorxbox1610 Your so welcome mate. It's sad to me that other countries missed all this stuff...esp that 70s-90s era. We get most of U.S and other worldwide hits, but I can't imagine my childhood without the hundreds of bits these bands have had. It's a priviledge to share. I remembered a few afterwards that fit the same categories.. Midnight oil Johnny Diesel...just known as 'diesel' the angels men at Work Rose Tattoo Hoodoo gurus Australian Crawl (couldn't remember if I already did that one). To go with 90s/00s alternative rock era 'grinspoon' there's also Regurgitator Spiderbait Eskimo Joe The living end (pop punk). Jebediah You am I Killing Heidi Magic Dirt 60s (again). Masters apprentices Kylie Minogue (pop) Seekers (60s..kinda folk,melody). Lead singer of Seekers and Olivia Newton John we just lost in last few months, died...both women are Australian legends. Judith Durham of seekers, not my thing, but was widely known as a big voiced singer. 00s metal Sunk Loto Bullet for My Valentine ??? ?? Truth is there is plenty more,but I haven't heard in so many years I've forgotten. I've actually heard several decent Aussie metal bands but that's only one I can remember. I don't listen to rap,but know hill top hoods used to be popular.. There's actually alot of popular Aussie rappers these days. I think I already said, but J.O.K (Johnny O'Keefe) was as far as I can see our first big, quality artist in 50s/60s, died really young...I'm born in 81 and just love it still. Definately reccomend. I mostly only put bands that seen decent amount of success, exept maybe magic dirt (grunge)...

[@wouldlovemyownname]

What strikes me about this clip is the effortless power of Barnes voice. He doesnt need to strain his voice once but it comes out strong yet melodic and soulful. He never needed to scream like he often did later on.

[@papaluskask999]

Didn't his voice break few times?

[@Tarlam]

I watched an interview and he said, Scottish people all sing and he never had to strain his voice. Apparently, it's genetic.
