    I'm a New Zealander and I may be a little high,but the image of homesick Aussies listening to this together almost made me tear up 'cos this is a such a sweet,sad song...and I've been homesick in the past so I can relate.

    The boy's bedroom in this clip - I lived there in 2006
    We were renting from the blokes who made Powderfinger's clips, forget their names now, and it was their house. Corner of Hawthorne Rd & Malcolm St, Hawthorne. Some of the outdoor shots were from there too - car going round corner & losing the slinky etc House was knocked down in 2009 for a block of townhouses
    Loved that house, love this clip :)

    I am American. I was raised between Southern California and houston, texas. I believe that Powderfinger is one of the greatest rock bands, ever. Odyssey Number 9 is one of the greatest rock albums, ever. It just is. It should have a vinyl album version in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If they don’t they should. This is an amazing album. Great music, very insightful, and human. When I bought it, I did so, based upon the album cover. The music was an amazing and beautiful discovery. This truly is an amazing collection of art.

So thanks for this comment mate. My all time favourite powder finger song although I could tell you about all of their songs thanks to my late aunty who I had no choice in the matter as she raised me and they were her favourite and this song was hers too. Maybe that’s why it’s mine. I love and miss you every day Aunty Andrea I’m having a beer today and yes I’m having a powder finger sesh. ❤

    Reminds me of being a kid, and my dad getting me a 2nd hand set of drums and a second hand Powderfinger album and saying here ya go, perfect album to learn to.

    I personally don't think that this song is about a kid loosing a slinky. You're on your own, you're hope's and dreams are destroyed, everyone's waiting for you to get back home. It's pretty straightforward, there's thousands of songs out there about the same thing. A message from me to whoever is alone and reading this, hang in there, you'll make it back.

Awesome night!

    I see your shadow on the street now
    I hear you push through the rusty gate
    Click of your heels on the concrete
    Waiting for a knock coming way too late
    It seems an age since I've seen you
    Countdown as the weeks trickle into days
    So you come in and put your bags down
    I know there's something in the air
    How can I do this to you right now
    If you're over there when I need you here
    My happiness is slowly creeping back
    Now you're at home
    If it ever starts sinking in
    It must be when you pack up and go
    It seems an age since I've seen you
    Countdown as the weeks trickle into days
    I hope that time hasn't changed you
    All I really want is for you to stay
    So you come in and put your bags down
    I know there's something in the air
    How can I do this to you right now
    If you're over there when I need you here
    My happiness is slowly creeping back
    Now you're at home
    If it ever starts sinking in
    It must be when you pack up and go
    I know I know I know what is inside
    I know I know I know what is inside
    I know I know I know what is inside
    I know I know I know what is inside
    You're over there when I need you here
    My happiness is slowly creeping back
    Now you're at home
    If it ever starts sinking in
    It must be when you pack up and go
    My happiness is slowly creeping back
    Now you're at home
    If it ever starts sinking in
    It must be when you pack up and go
