lyrics

If you’re not doing anything next Tuesday night
There’s a little pub in the city will have our name up in lights
Down at the Hopetoun first Tuesday in July
We’ll probably go on ‘ bout a quarter past ten
If the seven band on before us have all finished by then
Down at the Hopetoun first Tuesday in July

Big, big dreams have got to start somewhere
But by the time we go on I’ll be way too drunk to care
It’s a long way to the top down this highway to hell
When you start your journey here at the Hopetoun Hotel

Street corner blues men and born again hippies
Teeny bopping emos wearing makeup and black lippy
Down at the Hopetoun first Tuesday in July
There’ll be a feminist songstress singing way off key
About all the things she hates about patriarchy
Down at the Hopetoun first Tuesday in July

Ten dollar steaks and two dollar beers
Ain’t cheap enough to bring anybody here
Two free drinks for everyone in the band
Drink up boys tonight there’ll be no cash in hand

The only one left in the room is the sound engineer
He doesn’t count ‘cause he can’t really hear
Down at the Hopetoun first Tuesday in July

Big, big dreams have got to start somewhere
But by the time we go on I’ll be way too drunk to care
It’s a long way to the top down this highway to hell
When you start your journey here at the Hopetoun Hotel

The Sydney/Blue Mountains alt-country four-piece have lived and breathed the highs and lows of the rock and low life – and that experience can’t help but find its way into their music. ... more
