Oliver Twitter - The Streets of Fitzroy

Ngar-go dreams are the spirits guide
For Rose Street gardens and rainbowed Pride
For sorrowed souls in Charcoal Lane
To share their grief and their stolen pain
Silently crying in public places
Quietly dying in back street places
Walking the streets in dogshit shoes
Those sleeping brothers with half-drunk booze

And, the Bluestone Angels sing the blues
The Bluestone Angels sing the blues
And, the Bluestone Angels sing the blues

Jack Irish pubs and upbeat bars
Artist hubs and high-end cars
The end of endless gangland heat
The blood-red stain on Barkly Street
The ghosts of Squizzy, Cotter and Cutmore
A Fitzroy junkie smells an unlocked door
The coded tags of our youthful maverick
Are patching holes in our cultural fabric

And, the Bluestone Angels sing the blues
The Bluestone Angels sing the blues
And, the Bluestone Angels sing the blues

Hi-rise secrets of immigrant waves
Near boutique gardens where Jesus saves
Enticing doorways in hidden laneways
Bicycle rides on forgotten railways
Alma, Doug and Jack and Archie
Vika and Linda, Bert, Moriarty
Home of Wurundjeri, home of The Lions
Home of the fringe and their cool defiance

And, the Bluestone Angels sing the blues
The Bluestone Angels sing the blues
And, the Bluestone Angels sing the blues
