about

This song was written by the Grafton Graveyard.

lyrics

The Sky Tower rises like a giant clock in the sky,
The sun pours down and the flowers in the concrete cry,
The alleyways are empty and I like it that way,
I walk around alone and no one knows where I stay,
lonely hearts of Lockdown, rockin' the night away,

I hung my jacket on my girlfriend under my tree,
Cathie doesn't mind, coz I'm keeping Cathie company,
She's always been a ham for underground cabaret,
I reach into my pocket for my Hohner and play,
Lonely hearts in lockdown, rockin' the night away

She's frozen still, I'm chilly, and the air is crisp,
Leaning on a willow, light a spliff from a will o' the wisp,
They shut down the city and they shut our cafe,
So I pop a top of Sol from my Corona cache,
Lonely hearts in lockdown, rockin' the night away,

The sun comes up like Thumbelina's taking the stage,
Serving purple apple crumble, coz I haven't ate right for an age,
She's soaking up the Heineken down, prone in the clay,
She don't like the sunlight any more than ballet,
Lonely hearts in lockdown, rockin' the night away,

Holes in my socks and a whole in my bottle of gin,
It's rock-a-bye baby and tonight we'll do it again,
In 1897 she was born in Calais,
I tell her au revoir coz she don't speak the Anglais,
Lonely hearts in lockdown, rockin' the night away.
