From the recordings Spirit of Place and Razor's Edge

Lyrics

Got a letter from Davie
Just the other day
Said livin’ in Queensland was not OK
Can’t fi nd the money
Just to pay the rent
’nd the food and the herb
They’re just heaven sent
He’s been livin’ on the Razor’s edge
Tryin’ to touch the sun
He won’t fall for that same old trick again
Cathy’s alright
She just gets lonely every day
She’s livin’ with a dream world of yesterday
And there she is but here she’ll stay
‘Well it just never works out,’ she said, ‘anyway!’
She’s been livin’ on the Razor’s edge
Tryin’ to touch the sun
She won’t fall for that same old trick again continued >
10
Lulu’s too tired
Of livin’ down beside Torquay
She’s gettin’ herself together
Financially
Says ‘One of these days
I’m just gonna lie in the sun’
But right now I’m wonderin’
Does that day ever come?
She’s been livin’ on the Razor’s edge
Tryin’ to touch the sun
She won’t fall for that same old trick again
Got a letter from Davie
Just the other day
’nd the note just read,
‘Please come to Byron Bay’
Well the heart says ‘Go’
’nd the head says ‘Stay’
’nd the big wheels just keep turnin’ every day
Don’t go livin’ on a razor’s edge
Or tryin’ to touch the sun
’Cause you’ll just fall for that same old trick again
Such a fine line
I was meanin’ to write
