I used to work on and live near Dominion Road. I like this song for that reason, but it is not really about the road, it is about the struggler in the halfway house, trying to make sense of the world, as I am around fifty years later.
I filmed a performance of this for a Scottish music tv show 'Chartbite', at STV in Glasgow, mid 90's. Might still have a VHS of it somewhere. Great tune, great bunch of guys. I hoped they'd become massive.
umm - why did they bother making this video? Isn't the song about a road? nice to see Dominion Rd still looks a lot like in the original video - still, nothing a bit of road widening can't ruin.
Went to his Westport jig specifically to hear this song and loved it (and all the rest) coz you just can't beat live music, notwithstanding I do think his vocal lyricism is better here, sorry Don.

Doesn't matter to me which video is used, i just love the song

love the nz version much better, but when at 2:59 don mimics "he rests his head on the window sill", it's pure brilliancy.

without shots of Dominion Rd what's the point
Ah.. mid 90's filters and editing :D
Video not as good as the NZ version bro!
Original video is soooooo much better. This seems too slick
