Icehouse

Icehouse is an Australian rock band, formed as Flowers in 1977 in Sydney. Initially known in Australia for their pub rock style, they later achieved mainstream success playing New Wave and synthpop style music and attained Top Ten singles chart success in both Europe and the U.S. The mainstay of both Flowers and Icehouse has been Iva Davies (singer-songwriter, record producer, guitar, bass, keyboards, oboe) supplying additional musicians as required. The name Icehouse, which was adopted in 1981, comes from an old, cold flat Davies lived in and the strange building across the road populated by itinerant people. more »

Hello! Hello!
Who`s your lady friend?

He`s got his finger on the trigger
A bad case of the shakes
A Hollywood apartment
And a car with no brakes
After close investgiation
At the scene of the crime
He`s getting down to business
While we`re killing time
The deals and the alley
His hands in his his jacket
Bow tie and bracers
45 in his pocket
Sam is off the freeway
Heading down the boulevarde
Double shots of burbon
Are lined up in the bar

We`re all waiting for Sam the Man
Get him on the line, yeah
Play it again for Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
Sam the Man

Meanwhile back at Jake`s
The blonde is smoking at the bar
She`s got a certain rendez-vous
She`s not going anywhere
Expensive perfume
And six-inch stilletos
Like a killer dynamite
And a box full of matches
The crowd is thinning out now
It`s getting kind of late
She glances at the door
Lights another cigarette
She`s slipping out the back door
And he pulls into the lane
Sam is picking up the pieces
And she`s the one that got away

We`re all waiting for Sam the Man
Get him on the line, yeah
Play it again for Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
We`re all waiting for Sam the Man
Get him on the line
Have another drink on Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
Sam the Man

Sam the Man
Sam the Man

He`s got a whistle for Sam the Man
Get him on the line, yeah
Play it again for Sam the Man
One of a kind, yeah
We`re all waiting for Sam the Man
Play it again for Sam the Man
Get him on the line
We`re all waiting for Sam the Man
