James Reyne - Any Day Above Ground Lyrics






Took a look around this cocktail landscape
At the mud and the blood and the beer
No more Balmain irony
No more clubhouse cheer
Red salmon running way up the river
Red sky's a sailor's delight
Mother's stand in their calendered kitchens
Blue Hills broke the night

She caught my eye
Said don't you deny
Surround yourself with light
She said
Any day above ground is a good day
Any moment alone with you
Any day above ground is a good day and true

We were sittin' and a'chewing Marlboros
Smoking on the red brick flats
Calling all the cars on Davey Street
Laughing at the boys in black

Any day above ground is a good day
Any moment alone with you
Any day above ground is a good day and true

She caught my eye
Said don't you deny
Surround yourself with light
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
She caught my eye
Said don't you deny
Surround yourself with light

Any day above ground is a good day
Any moment alone with you
Any day above ground is a good day and true
She said
Any day above ground is a good day
Any moment alone with you
Any day above ground is a good day and true

  1. P.... K....

    Any day above Ground actually had a music video made back in 1992 but unfortunately it was never released due to problems with the producer/production company resulting in nobody getting paid. A shame as it looked good.

  2. P.... B....

    Wrong album , picture in the video, it was actually on Electric Digger Dandy

  3. R.... T....

    Just by coincidence this was a hit when I worked at an underground mine with a shocking safety record.

    Great Song...I love the backup vocals by Renee Geyer.

    James Reyne is an underrated singer/songwriter.
