This song always reminds me of my first Sydney NYE as a 14 yr old in the early 80s, jumping a red rattler from Campbelltown with a bunch of street kids & roaming the city, stealing beers & smokes til the street sweepers came out & the sun rose the next day - & then jumping another one back again & all of us falling asleep on each other.
Have some fucking respect. Missy is an amazing singer and smashes this song, but you don't need to be lambasting Perry Keyes about her singing HIS song.

Love this song. Lyrics paint such a familiar picture. Great !!!
It was great that Missy Higgins covered this as a cute pop song ... but this is real, and so much better!

Happy New Year's Eve!! All the best for 2017 :)
Awesome!
The only good thing about Missy Higgins' version is that Perry will get the royalties
Prefer Missy Higgins cover but it is a great atmospheric song.
Studio version sounds much better than this rendition.
I like Missy Higgin's version better...
agree...
+Ranui Robertson yes

This the way it should be sung. His way
She covered his song
