Songtext
I was born 84
In a small town located west of the border of W.A. on Christmas Day at six in the morning
Mum said best present she'd ever get was me and she is now
That easy to impress and I settled, named after James the apostle
The second of two kids, we got told we were special and my cousins Ty
Kimberly and Levi are like my brothers
Always keep them close in the mind
And plus the girls Tamika, Rekia
Tarni and Marlee and Kirra, Heather, Nara, Evra
Name so many I can't mention their names
I got the family so close no matter what the case
To relocate to the top end, a taste for the tropics
A place to call home for the next decade
For a change, moved to the city of Adelaide
Couldn't picture a time things would never be the same
Got me thinking, what's it like being in
The city for a country kid everyone so busy
But in Prospect I grew up with my
Best friend Robert, Geoff Seb and Jess
We're five brothers took our
Separate pasts to fulfill whatever promised
Good old days gone but not forgotten had
A muso for a father and an artist for a mum
They encouraged me to dream to do whatever I loved
Then growing up my old man he got me on the drums at the age of eight
My sister playing the keys if music was
The life that I wanted for me, I found my niche
All I had to do was believe to put my head down, focus wheels in the motion
Receive an accolade now it's time for an
Album everything was nice as good as can be
And that's about the time I met the girl of my dreams
Girl of my dreams didn't turn out to be
In a mist of a break-up now feeling
A bitter-sweet incomplete or at peace
I'm waiting on an outcome a year down the track
And I'm asking where's the album?
My life's hard enough as it is to find the time
Or to get inspired has got me walking a line
A foundation expectations are hard to fulfill
Every need, the only hunger inside
So at the present trying to make good
First impression can't believe we made it this far
For my parents know I love 'em pushing up and placing them above you
My sister, thanks for helping out your little brother
The friends and the fam that I lost along the way
It's never been the same since the day you left the future
In the night you playing your cards right?
Stop and think, take a look at someone else's life like this
