about

Sitting in Double Bay is a parody of Dock of the Bay, the great Otis Redding song & was inspired by the madness of the money market, epitomised by Double Bay in Sydney where many of them lived. Words re-written by Tony King 1997

lyrics

Sitting in Double Bay
Had to sell my Ferrari today
And I'm watching my hair turning grey
Cause the stock market snuffed it today
Sitting in Double Bay
watching my Persian rugs rolling away
Sitting in Double Bay
for the last time
Sitting in Double Bay
for the last time

Well I lost my home in Point Piper
and my Lear jet was just towed away
had billions of bucks worth of stock
yeah but now you can't give it away
Sitting in Double Bay
sending the man with the cocaine away
Sitting in Double Bay
for the last time

looks like nothing's gonna change,
nothing's gonna change,
nothing's gonna change,
nothing's gonna change,
nothing...feels like i'll remain the same...

Both the kids will have to be sold
if we're going to keep our lodge at the snow
No one will give us a loan
we'll have to swap our Dobell's for Ken Done's

Sitting in Double Bay
sending the man with the cocaine away
Sitting in Double Bay
for the last time
soon I'll be sitting in Long Bay doing time.

about

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
