cold chisel-standing on the outside

[@patrolowner]

don't care what you all are saying.. I'm a proud aussie chick and grew up listening to this music... my daughter loves it too.. if ya don't like it don't listen to it...

[@craigjohnson1408]

Every few years I circle back to this album. It never fails to dissapoint and stands the test of time as an absolute fucken classic!

[@tergre54]

It never fails to disappoint? Is that really what you mean to say?

Yep, my fondest memories in life will always be listening to East with dad while we drove around together just accompanying him doing chores around town. I miss him a lot

[@fredbloggs8362]

This is one of the great Aussie songs, much underrated.

[@PeterHBne1]

Probably their best song. I love the sort of rambling start, and then at 0.40 it just fucking kicks in. "Standing on the sidewalk you can see someone everyone wants to be. But they got the means to justify every end." Very much a song of what Sydney was like in the heady 80s. The haves and have nots and the have not wanting to get into the club but has no hope.

[@bayent01]

Very perceptive comment. It was indeed written in 1979 while Don was still living at The Plaza and started mingling with the haves. Also a very difficult song to play the start is on 1 and a ,3 key changes , 4 tempo changes later its over in less than 3 minutes...simples

[@sugarnads]

my favourite chisel song

[@jeffthomas4891]

Saw these at UNSW Roundhouse, early 80s, opened their set with this, set the tone for a faultless performance from start to finish. Great Aussie band!

[@jonesr227]

I remember seeing them there too. (I think they were there a number of times). I do recall they finished their set with just Don and Ian performing "Georgia on My Mind".

[@TechNed]

As time marches on I feel increasingly like I'm standing on the outside, looking in.

[@brookevanzeeland9492]

I remember buying my first stereo a (kenwood) back 20+ years ago all because this song sounded so great

[@kale77in]

I remember being 17, not having bought any popular music through my teens, or listened to the radio except when someone else had it playing -- didn't even know the name of the band 'Cold Chisel' -- but then I picked up this album and realized that I knew nearly every song on the track list. I think they call that songwriting.

[@PeterHBne1]

We can't help it. We were sent here. And on it goes. Bon really epitomised the spirit of it all.

[@PeterHBne1]

Fav lyric? "First thing i'm going to do when I get into town is buy a .22 and cut the whole thing down." There's the guts of this song - ultimate frustration. You just wouldn't get a song published these days with that in it. Classic stuff. God they are a great band. When Barnes and/or Walker die, there will be a week of mourning and a public holiday declared (on a Mon of course, so we can all get pissed on Sun & sing Khe San and have Mon off. And get pissed again on Mon. Then ring in sick Tue)

today we have another on of my favourite songs from cold chisel. i absolutely adore this song. how the hell didnt this make it into my top 100? it is from their fantastic 3rd album....which is probably their best. i never bought it myself...as there were afew chisel songs that i thought were ok...but never were really enthralled with. they just never grabbed me like aussie crawl's first album or "the flowers" album or "shabooh shabah". i have ever only bought one chisel album and that was

[@PeterHBne1]

I agree! Younglings down here have no idea about taking the piss.....

[@carvercapitalequitypartner122]

Likewise Dude. Ex-pat Sydneysider. Still got that Aussie wanderlust and the attitude you know about.

[@figbat1]

i came up with a theory that involves the book of genesis (fig leaves) buddha (sitting under the bodhi fig tree) jesus (many sayings about figs) ross horne's book (new health revolution) and science (figs are the most important source of food for fruit eating rainforest animals). i then experimented on the figs by eating mainly dried figs (same brand) for over 6 years now and found cycles which i related to the numbers in psgs 11/2 of the book of revelations. this theory has gone everywhere.

[@PeterHBne1]

@figbat1 I'm lost as to how any of that evenly remotely applies to this Cold Chisel song.

[@PeterHBne1]

Wild applause from here. We punch so far above our weight we can kill any fucker. All those 70s/80s Aussie bands. Dozens and dozens of them. And they just churned out classic after classic after classic.
