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.

Sometimes when I'm driving
Driving all night long
My mind gets round to thinking
About the place that I belong
I gotta make it to the river
And see the water shining bright

In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light

The steelyards and the factories
Standing in the rain
The empty streets and houses
This place will never change
When I get off that freeway
I know I'm gonna feel alright

In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light

When I look out on this city
From way up on that bridge
I see a million diamonds shining in the night
There's a million people out there
Who don't even know my name
But I know that's where my friends are
So I love 'em just the same

I know that she'll be waiting
For me to come around
We'll listen to those foghorns moan
When I shut this motor down
We'll stand out on the balcony
And hold each other tight

In the Westgate light
