Skyhooks

Skyhooks were an Australian rock band formed in Melbourne in March 1973 by mainstays Greg Macainsh on bass guitar and backing vocals, and Imants "Freddie" Strauks on drums. They were soon joined by Bob "Bongo" Starkie on guitar and backing vocals, and Red Symons on guitar, vocals and keyboards; Graeme "Shirley" Strachan became lead vocalist in March 1974.

In a room with a view on the thirty-third floor
The ashtrays overflow
A bankers daughter gets up from the bed
And stares at the streets below
The day breaks ad the sun comes up
The night has been so kind
As she turns back to her sleeping man
The thoughts rush through her mind

What would daddy do if he saw me now
He might not recognize me anyhow
My long black hair is curled and blonde
And my innocence is long long gone

Fathers and daughters have a love that's blind
Never quite understanding while still being kind
Fathers and daughters can be so far away
One lives for the nights and one for the days

Fathers and daughters they speak of respect
But their conversations don't always connect

Fathers and daughters have a love that's blind
Never quite understanding while still being kind
Fathers and daughters can be so far  away
One lives for the nights and one for the days

In a room with a view on the thirty-third floor
The phone is off the hook
And a bankers daughter goes back to bed
Seduced with just one look
The sun sets and the city lights up
The night flights burn the sky
As she reaches out for her sleeping man
She says with a smile

What would daddy do if he saw me now
He might not recognize me anyhow
My long black hair is curled and blonde
And my innocence is long gone
