about
"This song was originally supposed to be on our 2011 album “Dig For Plenty” and we took the album title from a line in the song. We then had another go at it for the “GO” album sessions which is the version here.
The song was written during a time when I was going through a bit of a London obsession. I seemed to be working off a map of the city.
However we wanted to make the new album a bit more Australian. Originally we were going to call the album “There’s other places than London” So lyrically this didn’t fit in. So it was never finished until now." Rob Griffiths

lyrics
Kings Cross Dawning I’m still yawning
Am Em
Rub my eyes and greet the morning sun
softly sleeping my Chelsea girl
In the street they dig for plenty
spend their cash if they’ve got any
a little light that shines upon my world
She looks so pretty dancing in the city after midnight
and everyone you see looks like a photograph
Em Am Em Am
I wanna go I wanna go
Where the girls look pretty dancing in the city tonight
Half past 4, I’m on the train that takes me back to you again
I hope to god you’re waiting there for me
Neon lights they shine so bright
Illuminate this cold wet night
West End won’t you shine a light on me
Am Em
Rub my eyes and greet the morning sun
softly sleeping my Chelsea girl
In the street they dig for plenty
spend their cash if they’ve got any
a little light that shines upon my world
She looks so pretty dancing in the city after midnight
and everyone you see looks like a photograph
Em Am Em Am
I wanna go I wanna go
Where the girls look pretty dancing in the city tonight
Half past 4, I’m on the train that takes me back to you again
I hope to god you’re waiting there for me
Neon lights they shine so bright
Illuminate this cold wet night
West End won’t you shine a light on me

The album took a while but was well worth the wait. I simply cannot understand why more Australians have not got behind Even. Another cracking set of tunes. xxx
