about

This song is about my discomfort living in the Upper North Shore of Sydney. I worked as motorbike postman all over the area and I found that by day some of the good housewives of the UNS harassed and complained about me riding over their perfectly trimmed lawns to deliver their mail. However, during the evening, I received unrequited advances of overnight to permanent affection from their daughters who were destined to be, and in most cases became, “North Shore housewives” themselves.

lyrics

The North Shore housewives won’t leave me alone for a minute
They either want me thrown out or else they want me to be in it
And sometimes I think I better run
When I remember all the things I’ve done
But then I guess I have to stay right here
Till I get me some money

Wait until I get me some money,
When I get me some money, I’m going home
Wait until I get me some money
When I get me some money, I’m going home

Constable Jones says I’m not to hang around on the corner
And I don’t see my body getting by on only bread and water
And the man who runs the liquor store
Says he don’t wish to see my face once more
But there’s really nothing else to do
Till I get me some money

Wait until I get me some money
When I get me some money, I’m going home
Wait until I get me some money
When I get me some money, I’m going home

But I see the sunshine, come looking over my shoulder
And I see the good times, before I get too much older, I

I’m tellin’ you, I’m just
Waiting till I get me some money
When I get me some money, I’m going home
Wait until I get me some money
When I get me some money, I’m going home
Wait until I get me some money
When I get me some money, I’m going home
