about

A song that explores youthful memories of a time when life was more simple. Dream-like images of sun, surf and friendship drift in and out like waves on a beach.

lyrics

You’d catch a train and a bus like any other day tripper
Walk to the water with one foot in a blue rubber flipper
Glide like a dolphin as you ride the big rolling dipper
And for a while time seems to stand so still
All your troubles are gone you’ve got time to kill

There were blue bottles and there were rips
Warm bread stuffed with hot chips
Long haired girls with bikini hips
Walking on the Bondi sand

The crack of thunder like a bat on a six stitcher
Time for one more ride before the storm hits ya
An American tourist snaps a timeless Bondi picture
And I guess somewhere is my smiling face
Forever young in a box some place

There were blue bottles and there were rips
Warm bread stuffed with hot chips
Long haired girls with zinc on their lips
Walking on the Bondi sand

And we were all arms and legs like Drysdale boys
Dream-like memories from a distant voice
Lost in the sunshine and the white noise
Walking on the Bondi Sand
