![Cold Chisel - Flame Trees [Last Stand]](/img/1.gif)
Jimmy & Cold Chisel came to my school in 1975 for our Year 10 formal!! (Norwood High) He shocked the teachers & I became his greatest fan!! I followed him to The Arkaba, Glenelg Pier, Largs Pier, Marryatville, & the list goes on... I went to every Hot Summer Tour even in Tasmania.Don Walker wrote the songs, but Jimmy gave it all!!! .
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Thanks for your like, comments and support.your support have brought me this far,thank you all for your endless love .keep supporting.thanks
As a family friend of the Barneses, I have to say this is one of my favorite songs.
If you are a "family friend" that ×1000 your comment! I wish I was a family friend too, my comment would get a nice boost.
Like, contractually obligated or did they have a gun to your head 3 years ago?
Jimmy Barnes when asked if the song was wrote about him:
“It was actually written about my audience - staunch, honest people, who work and who care.”
3:31 Amen
This could've been a massive hit in the UK 🇬🇧, especially as Jimmy came from Glasgow, the UK has no idea some of the Australian music that some of the Australian stars didn't release in the UK have missed out on.
I saw Jimmy only 1time live once with cold chisel when I was 20 year old and mate he,s got a great big voice.
We use to listen to a lot of his solo albums every weekend through the middle 80,s.
And Diesel I seen him in Vietnam on Auustralia day in 2001 Saigon unbelievable great 👍 mate 🍻
Only heard this great song in recent years as it wasn't played on radio stations in Scotland. My intro to Cold Chisel was a recommendation from Aussie pals. I regret i missed out on meeting Jimmy and some of the Chisel lads in Brisbane 1984/85 cos i was the working class man who couldn't abandon the boss's Taxi when i kindly had a backstage pass from Steve Prestwich. Finally got to hear Jimmy live 10 years later at the rockin Glasgow Barrowlands venue in 1995! Jimmy, please come back for more Scots Gigs!
Most of this was was filmed in Cairns❤
Edmonton actually 😘
I don't know if the fire that can be seen at the end of the song was made on purpose for the video or is it something that the workers had to deal with. But if it weren't it feels as if Jimmy Barnes started it with his screaming: AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! I 'd like to hear from him at the moment. It's good to discover him now.
It was lit on purpose to burn old sugar cane
Yeah it's a cane fire, to prepare for a new crop
that video was shot in a sugar cane field in Queensland. After the harvest they burn the fields to help the next year's crop. that's my memory of it anyway.
@@rileym4541 thanks for your support and your love, hope you're all doing great fans?..

@@micahblenks ? what
God is a Working Class Man
I know my mum loves him and he looks so young in working class man
I am showing your liver because u are a working class man
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
AUSTRALIA
I searched the lyrics on google, pretty fun lol,
Alright
Oh, yeah, yeah
Alright
Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
Oh-oh-whoa, he's a working class man
Oh, hey
Well, he's a steel town disciple
Well, he's a legend of his kind
A-running like a cyclone
Across the wide Australian sky
Oh-oh-whoa, he's a working class man, yeah
He believes in God and Elvis
He gets out when he can
He did his time in Vietnam
Still mad at Unc-
He's a simple-
With a heart of gold
In a complicated land, yeah, alright
He's a working class man
Oh yeah, my-my-my-my-my-my-my-my, huh
Well, he loves a little woman
But you best not tell his wife
Or she's gonna cut his balls off now
With a six-inch carving knife (two)
He ain't worried about tomorrow
'Cause he just made up his mind
A life's too short for bur-, yeah
I take it one day at a time, oh, babe
Oh-oh, well, he's a working class man, oh
Oh-oh, he's a working class man, yeah
Oh yeah, thank you for coming, fucking great, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Well, he's a working class man, oh yeah
Oh, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
I tell you, he's a working class man
Working class, working class man, oh
Oh yeah
Working class, working class man
I've got to tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man, oh, oh
Well, yes, he is
Working class, working class man
Thank you very much, see you later
Working class, working class man
Working class, working class man
He did make me his wife
Babby
A very apt "Australian" song sung by a man is proud to be Australian. Whether you're working the land or in the mines - it's long, hard work and, YES our brothers and husbands and fathers did go to Vietnam. Thank you Jimmy. A fitting song for proud Aussie men who work their guts out every single day.
And us Aussie women. We bust our balls everyday and night too.💪🏾👊🏾
He’s Scottish.
The irony of this “Aussie“ classic is, it was written by an American and ALL the references relate to America culture. Plus, the singer is Scottish. So much for an Aussie anthem.
Can we all get along? It has a ton of American references, yes, but every country has working class men who are crapped on by their government.
All blue collars from everywhere can relate to this.
Only the aborigines are native to Australia?
Everyone else is a visitor till they stay here for long enough.
Jimmy was ass ozzi as they come!
But it’s not about what country it originated from, it’s about the words!The words are from the Australian way.
Although Australians ain’t the only one’s. Work hard, play hard and just take it all in (laidback). It’s the only way to live!
We just forgot that! But, it’s not to late!!
The OG of Australian Rock n Roll. One of the best songs ever made
Jimmy is no doubt so awesome and unique...but the real OG of Australian Rock n Roll has just gotta be Johnny O'Keefe!😊
The man with the most epic "Ahhhhhhh" in history... you can feel that scream in your soul man...
I can feel his scream in MY soul! ❤
Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
Oh oh oh he's a working class man
Well he's a steel town disciple
He's a legend of his kind
He's running like a cyclone
Across the wild mid western sky
Oh oh oh he's a working class man
He believes in god and Elvis
He gets out when he can
He did his time in Vietnam
Still mad at Uncle Sam
He's a simple man
With a heart of gold
In a complicated land
Oh he's a working class man
Well he loves a little woman
Someday he'll make his wife
Saving all the overtime
For the one love of his life
He ain't worried about tomorrow
Because he just made up his mind
Life's too short for burning bridges
I take it one day at a time
Oh oh oh he's a working class man
Oh oh oh he's a working class man
Oh yeah
Yes he is
Well he's a working class man
Oh
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man
Yes he is
Working class, working class man
I've got to tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man, oh oh
Working class, working class man
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man
Yes he is
Working class, working class...
Thank you…this was a trip back to my teenage days back in Sydney
I'm 90's kid but my Dad make me fall in love with golden oldies. Very time I miss him, I come online just to listen those song. Sadly he pass away in 2021. ❤
@@ZackMorrisMyHero Thanks 😊
All rise for the anthem of Australia ❤️
It’s literally written to an american audience, listen to the lyrics mate
You wish 😂
I would vote for this to be Australia’s national anthem
Love and respect to all farmers, all workers, all tradies of the world. Especially those farmers in Holland, France and Poland who are fighting for dignity and to be respected.
And all the ladies have a happy smile on their face when the song mentions them... "Well he loves a little woman, some day he'll make his wife... saving all the over time for the one love of his life..." 😍😍
Steel worker here. Born in Elizabeth SA. Thanks dad for showing me fantastic music that is cold chisel. 🤘🇦🇺🍻
This song is a bloody tear jerker for me because it reminds me of my dad, a man who wears steel capped boots every day and goes into a factory to make all ends meet. Love, love, love this song.
From someone who was born way after this song was released and is laughed at by my generation for loving these type of songs... good work Jimmy Barnes and a huge thank you mate 👍
Iloveyou

What our country lived on true blue Aussie work for the man lived his life for the country and knew how to survive what our country needs man with cracks in their hands not play stations
Go Jimmy, you Aussie Champion.
Same. Played at my Dad's funeral xoxo
MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN 🇳🇿👍
This was played at the end of Gung Ho with Michael Keaton. Great movie.
Great to know that it was used for an American movie. He should have done better there!
I'm an Australian labor man. This is my anthem.
Lol
Lol liberal
Love this song 😍
Jimmy is the Working Class Man
Gives me the shivers even today
I'm here because of AHHHHHHH
Hi thanks, comments like this melts my heart. One love ❤️
Jimmy Barnes has one of the best rock voices I've ever heard. I wonder how many people don't know who he is, and don't know what they're missing?
Just found out who he is 1 minute ago. By accident. It’s all the undiscovered songs and artists that I love most about you tube.
@@jeffreyshuster4482 the best of the wiggles karaoke
H
Word!
@Michael Fennell Totally agree, and considering Jimmy Barnes was born in the United Kingdom, he should've had major success in the UK, instead we had to put up with music from a country that's not part of the commonwealth, and that country is america which the UK doesn't want to have anything to do with that country.
Gives me the shivers even today
I feel like the entirety of the working class use this as their theme song
The voice... The talent. The sound and the noise... Get in there Jimmy... Just watched him at Wembley July 12th 2019... Belted it out at top notch volume, tone and class. Get in there Jimmy... Great stuff...
Good ol' fashioned, 80s, rock 'n roll. They don't write them like this anymore. Thanks for posting.
I can honestly say that reading his book (which has same name as this song.) will give you a greater appreciation for his music.
Madison Chambers absolutely great books both of them.
I watched the documentary hard life
Like the song
@@helenrossiter3215 Thanks for your like, comments and support.your support have brought me this far,thank you all for your endless love .keep supporting. How are you doing today Helen
Working class shall never die
Well said, from Norway.
Fuck!😱 Ahhhhhhhhh Memes brought me here his fucking legend
he sure is!
This song is on the soundtrack for the 1985 movie “Gung Ho” starring Micheal Keaton. It’s played during the credits. It’s one of my favorite new songs!
That line “simple man with heart of gold in a complicated land.”
Gets me every time!
It's cool how Jimmy went 2 Australia so young and he still sounds Scottish A.F, I didn't even know he came from my hometown of Glasgow until very recently! If it wasn't 4 Bonnie Scotland the Oz rock scene would have been a very different vibe indeed.
Listening to this, while doing overtime.
This must have been a HUUUUUGE hit when it came out.
It just doesn't get any better than this...THANK YOU VERY MUCH Mr.Barnes
Thanks for your like, comments and support.your support have brought me this far,thank you all for your endless love .keep supporting.thank you for your love too.hope you're all doing great fans.
Good song, good singer! Like it so much!
Still love this one, seen you here live many years ago Jimmy.....sending love from New Zealand 💜
Não conhecia este cantor fantástico ! Vendo e ouvindo os vídeos da magnífica Tina Turner ,descobri esse grande artista .Que belo dueto .
Thanks for your like, comments and support.your support have brought me this far,thank you all for your endless love .keep supporting.and how are you doing.
AHHHHHHHH
As a family friend of the Barneses, I have to say this is one of my favorite songs.
Damn shame he wasnt big here in the States. Dude is phenomenal with a ton of great, relatable songs.
Timeless music.. On the RADIO in NZ in 2022.. Thanks mate👍🇳🇿
Einfach ein starker Typ mit einer starken Stimme. Bei uns in Deutschland leider nicht so bekannt und gespielt wie er es verdient hätte . Auch heute noch richtig gut. Bestes Beispiel sein Album 30:30 Hindsight....
noch besseres Beispiel "barnestorming" von 88....live in sydney wo er allen songs nochmal kräftig in den A... tritt ohne auch nur eine spur gefühl und ausdruck zu verlieren..... heute meist entweder - oder : seelenloses geprügel oder schleimiges gesülze..... LG auch n micha....
As a struggling dad, this song gives me strength and uplift to keep going..
Did anyone else think when he said “he ain’t worried about tomorrow , coz he just made other plans” , this was a reference to him giving up on his dreams and contemplating suicide
Perhaps but if haven't had a round of suicidal depression you should feel a little left out because you are not yet fully alive.
He ain't worried about tomorrow
Because he just made up his mind
Life's too short for burning bridges
I take it one day at a time
He ain't worried about tommorrow cause he just made up his mind
In other words he accepts his fate, as a working class man. Even when he has too get threw the workload ,1 day at a time
Not suicide.
Looking forward to see him in germany in december
AAAAAAAAA
Jimmy is the Working Class Man
Love this song 😍
This song is my husband and my song we use to play it all the time in the 80s and still do, my hubby is A working class Man, ❤❤❤ Love and Light Alway's. 🇦🇺 Australian's Anthem
If Bruce Hornsby made rock music
When I work, I sing this song to myself. It motivates me when getting through a tough day's work outside in the sun and the weather
I spray foam insulation and this song motivates me to get in some pretty gnarly places. Detroit crawlspaces fighting rats and crackheads to up north Michigan getting trapped in the attic with a raccoon 😂 all the while trying not to go through the customers drywall ceiling 😂😂😂
I’m Not Australian and I’m annoyed they changed it to mid western sky
THE working class man aaaaaaahhhh!
My fiancee played guitar for JB in 2008 in his last NZ tour. Now we are seeing JB in July in Wellington. Looking forward to the concert. My partner still plays guitar qnd talks about his time with JB all the time. 🙌🎸 Amazing voice!!
My friend from New Zealand just introduced me to this and I couldn’t be more glad he did. Chills man.
6/2/24. They played this on KSHE 95 St Louis this morning on the Sunday Classics show. The oldest rock station in the US and still kicking ass! I had to hear it again. What a great song!
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Chisel and Jimmy's solo work/ and others like: Noiseworks-were very Kings of Leon/The Killers!
Get well soon Jimmy.Australias finest
Jimmy's cousin Swanee has the same voice.
Listen to 'If I Was A Carpenter'. Then you'll see what I mean.
Looking forward to see him in germany in december

It must be his final tour
Screaming cowboy brought me here.
Rocking on, from America 🤘
Barnsey is the best
So committed to the working class he even set that field ablaze so the fire crew has something to do.
It was 1986. A hard time. Struggling to get a chance. This song was featured on a film -Gun Ho- which portrayed what It meant to be a working class man.And still I am a working class man.
80s music will never die
Did you live in Glasgow jimmy? I used to work with bands .?

Respect to all our Uber eats drivers down under. Hardest workers I’ve ever seen in my life.
Delivering food very hard work 😂😂😂
Driving a car and doing fu#k all is very easy,try working in the mines and see how hard that is,working 16 hours a day,7days a week and see the difference 😎🌙😎
This song always gives me goosebumps when I hear it! Jimmy Barnes and cold chisel absolute bloody Aussie legends
