Don't come with your arms swinging
Throw them around me
Some kind of sweet relief
I hope you never leave
It's all the same to me
Just bring yourself
You know your presence is present enough
I got a front row seat
It's all the same to me
I spend a lot of my time
Doing a whole lot of nothing
I know you're doing your best
I think you're doing just fine
I know it's been a long week
And now you're taking your time
Some kindness goes around
Some kind of backfires
It's all the same to me
Ignore that voice
It puts you down
You make your choice, I'm here for you
It's all the same to me
I got a lot on my mind
But I don't know how to say it
I know you're doing your best
I think you're doing just fine
Keep on keeping on
You know you're not alone (you're not alone)
And I know all your stories
But I'll listen to them again
And if you move away
You know I'll miss your face (I'll miss your face)
It's all the same to me
You know it's all the same to me
Keep on keeping on
You know you're not alone (you're not alone)
And I know all your stories
But I'll listen to them again
And if you move away
You know I'll miss your face (I'll miss your face)
It's all the same to me
You know it's all the same to me
Okay, I, uh, would love to invite a friend on to the stage
To perform this next song with us
His name is Paul Kelly
We're gonna do a song written by Archie Roach
I first heard this song 28 years ago
In Archie's kitchen table in Reseva just next to Preston
It's called Charcoal Lane
It's from his first record
Charcoal Lane
Charcoal Lane is now a fancy restaurant in Fitzroy, but this song is something else
