(Solo "2-Hat Pat": 2014 home-demo of a song I've had kicking around for a few years, lyrics have gone through a few transformations and it's finally out-stayed its welcome.)

lyrics

It's hard to ignore he was first out the door,
But the CBD bar’s aren’t his friend anymore;
every Friday that’s where all the workmates go,
it’s just a fashion-parade, and he’s learnt to say no;

Cos’ the patrons were just too cool for school,
Sure the barmaid had a pretty face,
But he’s wracked with despair, for he belongs in another place….

/ CHORUS :
And so he makes his way home…
on down the lanes…
head for the cranes – with the cats, and the bats, of Bruns...wick.

I'm off for a pint tonight, at my local hotel:
and if it's your thing, you can eat there as well;
The crowd there is "hip", but the music is free,
and when they give the last call, we hit the party down the street;

Cos the venues have got too cool for school,
it’s hard to find a friendly face,
And the Bouncer’s they say: “have you forgotten you’re banned from this place”...

…And so I make my way home…
on down the lanes…
head for the cranes – with the cats, and the bats;
head for the cranes – with the cats, and the bats;
head for the cranes – with the cats, and the bats, of Bruns...wick.

(Rpt. CHORUS :) Make your way home…………………………//

about

Pat Bruce Melbourne, Australia

"2-Hat" Pat Bruce is one of Footscray's lesser-known Alternative/Roots troubadours.
His heartfelt song-craft conveys a raw mix of Celtic-Folk, tinged with muddy country-roots, all drenched with a grungy punk spirit.

As an intermittent stalwart of the inner-Melbourne music scene over the past decade, some say he is finally maturing like a good wine.
