1955 (Feat. Montaigne & Tom Thum) - Hilltop Hoods
You know when you're doing
a song about a small town
You gotta start it
with a cliche
you know what I'm sayin'
Time moves a little slower here
The paint peels
'cause the summers here
are so severe
And we're nowhere near no
where you would know of
Locals here pride
they show up just to show off
Four men take a load off
just to watch the day go by
Philosophising with their
friends like they're Plato
They prophecise on the bench
by the main road right
They got price I'm okay
if you say so guys
But what do they know
Fox News got 'em lit
They're shockers
fundamentalists
the new communists
A girl with the shopping list
clutch her handbag close
I'm like damn man
then it's all bankhands jokes
'Cause I'm a gentlemen
but then again most of us are
First name basis in the bank
the post-office the bar
The grocery parks hey lady
I ain't tryna grab your pension
The old men on the bench
Direct from the transistor
radio in your lounge room
It's the entertainment
that the whole family can enjoy
Well I say looking slick
will do the trick so try barry's
brylcreem cream today
Well lets go lets go
We're living in the days
when everybody sayin'
What a time to be alive
But I'm feeling out of place
like I live in outer space
'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow
of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took
a hold of '55
Time moves a little slower here
A day feels like a week
a weekend feels
like it could go a year
And we're nowhere near nothing
man so true
I don't tell 'em where I'm from
I tell 'em where I'm close to
And I can go through an Atlas
and show you on a map and
You'd still look me sideways
and treat me like I'm backwards
But that's just fine
it so happens I'm
Happy living in a city
that is trapped in time
While you're lined up
in traffic I'm
Not panicked by transit
I'm back in time
For a tv dinner and an early night
'Cause we get dressed to travel
got an early flight
Been doing laps of the earth
we're doin' laps of the sun
Tryna put where
I'm at on the map
'cause where I'm from
Would never get a mention
but all that and then some
Once again the old men
on the bench
Right across the country
they came in waves
Thousands upon thousands
of flying discs descending
from the planet Mars
For the closest shave try
a Wilson's razor today
Well lets go lets go
We're living in the days
when everybody sayin'
What a time to be alive
But I'm feeling out of place
like I live in outer space
'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow
of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took
a hold of '55
Where I go where I go
This will always be home
no matter
Where I go where I go
This will always be home
no matter
Where I go where I go
This will always be home
no matter
Where I go where I go
This will always be home
If you can't beat the summer
heat then what you need
is a Wordell's
Wordell refrigerators
the cooler choice
The dieting revolution taking
the world by storm
Well Montaigne lets go
We're living in the days
when everybody sayin'
What a time to be alive
But I'm feeling out of place
like I live in outer space
'Cause it seems I'm stuck in time
It's like we ride through life
Right in the shadow
of the cold war
It gets so quiet at night
Like martial law took
a hold of '55
