I am glad you are getting into Jimmy’s books. I agree that they are filled with so many life events! This song is about a time where Jane left Jimmy to go to her parents in Tokyo …. She said she was going to write, but told him not to keep in touch with her…..He did not get any mail, and was thinking of her everyday….and “if she don’t come home I know that’s where I’m gonna go”….I’m “Gonna catch a plane to steal her back again”, and that I believe is what he did. Here are the Lyrics - She just jumped on a plane Paid no attention to me Gave me no notice But her goodbyes sure were sweet Said she's gonna write Maybe call me up She checked her bags And then she broke my heart She kissed my cheek And told me not to keep in touch I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away Now we're apart I think about her everyday Well the scuffle of little feet All round the bed I'm gettin' no cards, gettin' no mail Tokyo Rose is on the radio If she don't come home I know that's where I'm gonna go They're buying our beaches Sellin' transistors Them little folk look real big If they think that they can take her away I'm gonna steal her back again . . . Shake! I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The thing I love about Cold Chisel is that every song is different, and extremely entertaining. Very underated. In my opinion, up there with the best. Great reaction Greg.
A song Jimmy wrote about Jane , when they first met…. She wasn’t interested in him…. So he followed her overseas…. Persistence pays …. Because they became a couple…. And you know the rest…. A song from the East Album.
Last Stand tour? Can't be given Charlie Drayton is playing drums, unless I'm missing something. The Last Stand was way back in 1983. I was at their Dec 12 concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.
Oh, I misread the blurp on the video. It was the last stand of the Sydney Entertainment Center before they tore it down. Thanks. I hate making a mistake like that.

Here are the Lyrics -
She just jumped on a plane
Paid no attention to me
Gave me no notice
But her goodbyes sure were sweet
Said she's gonna write
Maybe call me up
She checked her bags
And then she broke my heart
She kissed my cheek
And told me not to keep in touch
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
Now we're apart
I think about her everyday
Well the scuffle of little feet
All round the bed
I'm gettin' no cards, gettin' no mail
Tokyo Rose is on the radio
If she don't come home
I know that's where I'm gonna go
They're buying our beaches
Sellin' transistors
Them little folk look real big
If they think that they can take her away
I'm gonna steal her back again . . . Shake!
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
The Rising Sun just stole my girl
Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away

A bit of rockabilly, showing how diverse Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes can be. From blues, hard rock, ballads, soul and even a little bit of country.
