Lyrics:
Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We share some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
Time to book a room to stay tonight
Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same"
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?"
Number three is never say her name
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway
You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cry
And I'm happy just to sit here round a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
And there's a girl, she's falling in love near where the pianola stands
With her young local factory out-of-worker, just holding hands
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay...
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field
In our day
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around - เพลง

Great song. Represents an era that's starting to slide into memory. Old Australia is slipping away...
@cold chisel wow it’s cold chisel….
@@SENATORPAIN1 I'd take ten times as many if it meant that I didn't have to read one more stupid thing from you.
@@SENATORPAIN1 That's not what I meant.☹️🙁
So true, so sad 😔
@@kindofpseudonym he may have said it quite bluntly, but he has a point. If you replace people, then you replace culture, and you replace heritage. And if you _like your culture and heritage_ then being unimpressed with and opposing such developments is entirely normal and natural.
This song holds a special place in my life. Video filmed in my hometown Oberon. My beautiful Dad was laid to rest last month and was escorted down the main street of Oberon. His last main street run. There's no change there's no pace, everything within it's place just makes it harder to believe that he wont be around. Rip Dad.
It's special to me too and made all the more special by your story. May your father RIP.
oberon is a beautiful place, know the feeling with my nan and the nsw town of Coolah
Nice Patricia May your dad rest in peace Love from Frank
Rip mate
Cheers Patricia.
This song was one of the Chisels best, you can return to your roots, home, old mates but it's never be the same second time around.
Where I’m from was the same after 5 years and I couldn’t of been happier to be here.
Too true mate. Everything changes but there's some things that never change
OMG … I wish it wasn’t true; but for me that was the case.
The first love always cuts the deepest, in all senses of the word.
Ad in suzi 😁and the Dutch up on love Keep
They wern't just a Pub Rock Band, they were a huge part of an Australian era.
And, what an era!
My older brother had a lot of their music in the 80's..TG!
You're not wrong mate
Fuq oath mate 👍 🇦🇺
How do we get back to those days? I'd give anything. No smart phones, no f***ing Netflix.
@@surfclimbcycle nope just real people and real music wish I was around back then nowdays are fucking shit
I remember walking into a pub in Delegate, NSW. We were 2 English backpackers who just wanted a drink. It was like something from a movie, the whole bar just stopped and stared in confusion at how and why two POMs had ended up there! I met a great guy who shared my music taste, we danced to Eagles and The Boss until he introduced me to Cold Chisel. This song instantly takes me back to that night. Thank you Delegate 💜
Amazing to see Delegate mentioned here. I used to live there in 1984 when this song came out !
Oh wow! If you lived there in the 80's, you probably know all of the locals that I met there! Such a small word.
Roll call 😊
My brother just moved away from Delegate , I’ve been in that pub a few times. His pet magpie was banned from the pub , it would fly in and steal only $50 notes from peoples wallets😂
Probably one of the greatest Aussie rock ballads ever written
foath
My song :)
The best
everyones song
Linked park hybrid theroy
Probably one of the greatest Aussie rock ballads ever written
I miss the 80's in Australia
Same.
Take me back!
The more lefty politians try to change Australia the sentimental about 80,s90,s i get!😒😮💨
It's no better now. Bring on the dream weavers and time machines.
@@anthonywilson7304 let me know when one's been invented!
Anyone of this era is locked in time when we hear this song. What a blessing!
Ah to have a time machine!
True story
Happy Australia Day 2024,great song and great video
This song never gets old 2021 and still listening to it .
Back at ya..🍻👍
On the radio all the time in Sydney 2021. Such a classic
2022 and I agree, timeless.
April 2022 ❤
Yep! 2023 and still so good. This song is one of THE classics.
Yes it was a huge hit in kiwi land too. New Zealand we love Jimmy
I live on Oberon now and nothing has changed since then. I love it. I just bought some flame trees for my farm. Love Chisel.
And oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
I’m from Holland but how i love this song… beautiful, raw emotion. Like it even better on a sunny day with a beer in my hand.💜
An enduring song for a 76 year old /young man.
Your earning yourself an honourary Aussie status with comments like that 👍
Bravo!
This song nearly brings me too tears I suffered depression for 17 years and this is the song that got me through it holds special memories for me grew up in a small town with my mates. Nothing better than the mates you grew up with.
Stay strong mate, same here.
Bless...
Wow you're lucky, you still got friends. My mates have all gone, don't want to know me ever since I left my hometown. My parents are dead, no kids... even my girlfriend of 6 years hates me now and wants to leave. I'm a real miserable whinging dickhead. With a dead end minimum wage job, small dick and short and ugly too haha 😂. I'm making myself laugh but I guess it's kind of true. One thing I'm thankful for is I'm a pretty happy guy, who obviously likes to poke fun at himself at times. Take care fellow Barnsy fan.
Damn straight bro 🤟 your not alone ! This song is a go too for me when I'm down ! Also when I'm up! Keep on keeping on!🤟
My Brother was J Barnes, I’m also Born a J Barnes
This song was filmed in my home town and it makes me cry every single time. So much meaning. What an incredible song!
❤️❤️❤️ always wondered where it was filmed. I've never been to Oberon but i have driven thru it. Love our bush towns, they're way better than our coastal towns. Youse are all still uniquely Aussie where we on the Coast (I'm from Wyong) are like we've moved into a different dimension, we aren't Aussie's like we used to be & it's sad. Sending love & best wishes ❤️
Great song my Nan still lives near the rsl
Just made me cry also, life can be very sad sometimes 😢
Is this one of the best Australian songs ever??
That honour goes to Don't Change by INXS.
not one of the best, by far the best!
It is
@Lats Niebling What about Shark Fin Blues by The Drones.
@Lats Niebling Check it out, it's a classic.
I just tried to sing this and I literally couldn't get through it without bawling. I live abroad now and it just conjured so many feelings! Fucking amazing tune. The Yanks have Springsteen, We've got Cold Chisel.
OzzieBarbie I'd take Chisel over Bruce any day.
Bruce is amazing too.
"Bawling"
Springsteen is horrible
@@linux49er do you know what that means?She cried her eyes out mate.
"There's no change, There's no pace, Everything within its place just makes it harder to believe she won't be around"...This pretty much sums up my & my two sons' lives since we lost their mum 4 years ago. I love this song, ever since I heard it for the first time all those years ago and it rings truer with every listen.
Hope have some ausome years soon to make up for it!
I'm from Oberon where this was filmed and some of the people's today in the video are still alive and living here.
AreYouKenkey my nan lives there my perants grow up there
Nice. I keep hearing Grafton but I don't recognise anything in this vid.
@@TechNed The Grafton reference is because Don Walker came from Grafton and supposedly wrote this song about his old hometown. Grafton is lined with Jacaranda trees and he used the title of an old movie " The flame trees of Thika" as a reference apparently. Not sure why the film clip was done in Oberon but I have always loved it.
@@andrewmurphy7401 Yeah, I knew that. I think you misunderstood my comment. I meant, I don't recognise any scene in this vid as Grafton.
@@andrewmurphy7401 But I'm with you. It's an awesome video. Storyteller style.
Never heard this group until now. I'm American. One of my Australian followers on tiktok recommended this group! I like it!
I’m Scottish ( but now dual Ozzie ) discovered it in the 90’s when I was an ICU nurse in Melbourne.
Now that you have heard Cold Chisel, you just need to eat Vegemite and you can be an Australian citizen.
@@giantrod788
I am an 🇦🇺 citizen & I do…. 😂
No
The anthem of most young Australians of the time.
and some Kiwis like me😂
And till this day as well. At least for 25 year old me.
Great song
This song means so much to so many.
For me, the last year and a half, I drive north when I can and visit friends and family of a girl I once wanted to marry. We catch up with where we are at in life, talk about shared interests and tell stories about the girl that made us friends. The reason for that is the following.
The girl and I didn't speak for way too many years then a mutual friend asked if it was okay to passed my telephone number onto her as she had asked for it. Of course it was. I was overjoyed by the prospect of speaking again. Two days later I received a call saying she was on life support with a traumatic brain injury. Covid restrictions stopped me from entering Queensland to be by her side as she had been for me when I was in a similar state 20yrs earlier. Two weeks later I had to say goodbye to her on the telephone. I take solace in knowing that our differences were no longer anything, our love of each other all those years ago was not wasted and never
forgotten.
......
Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same"
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?"
Number three is never say her name
......
Often this song comes on the radio while I am driving and I can't help but want to pull over, but those flame trees....
Rest In Peace, My Friend
Eff the Governments and the torture they put people through! Your friend was one of many who were forced to such loneliness before they passed. I have a mate who's leaving this life in the very near future, only 6 Weeks ago he was diagnosed with the big C age 53. He's a strong man, army man for 12 years, but receiving such a grave prognosis really hit him hard. About the only bright side to his situation is that government isn't interfering in the name of covid anymore.
He will live on in my memory. You honor your friend by remembering her, while their is life in you to remember, she lives on. Condolences my friend.
@@thepaedophileprofit3062 May we never forget it, may we never let it happen again. The impact was huge, devastating, destroyed more lives than it saved. I'm still gobsmacked by the whole thing.
And I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. Same to the op. Very sad.
Hello from Detroit, Michigan, my adopted hometown. For the first time in my (long) life, I'm feeling a little homesick. I'm from Sydney, but I have friends all over Australia. Thanks to TH-cam and the person who uploaded this classic song. It's obvious how much this song is loved and how much it means to so many people.
I want my Australia back 🇦🇺
Start by getting rid of the corporate flag
My cousin Sheldon would love this Song rest in peace my brother
Sorry for your loss. ❤
I didn't appreciate this wonderful song until many many years after it was released. I heard it again one day and I realized how much I love this.
Likewise
@@jipangoo same here i rate it as there Best .
Likewise, its wonderful.
I used to have beers everyday after work at the Pub with my mate Leigh, after a hard day's yakka.
He committed suicide a few years later, this song still holds precious value to me and the memory of of him.
"They say you die twice, once when you die, and again when someone speaks your name for the last time."
Not a day goes by that I wish I could've helped Leigh James Nelson. And he was one of the good ones.
Have a beer up there for me bro. I miss ya.
You’re a sweet friend. Stay blessed x
I just wanted to say thank you Cold Chisel - We love you for the beautiful memories you have left in our minds. I am 61 years old now and you do wonder where the years have gone. Your music is timeless and I thank you for the pleasure of listening to your songs.
Beautiful song and so iconically Australian. When Australia was a fantastic place to live,people worked hard,enjoyed a few schooners down the pub,smoked,listened to great music,swore and picked up gorgeous birds!
Well I still have the gorgeous bird. Me hair has long gone tho
And no woke bs!
And probably watched the footy on the big screen!
That key change just lifts my head off every single time. I’ve heard it maybe, dunno, 100s of times. Same response, every time. Sensational song.
My favourite bridge. Melodically beautiful.
This song reminds me of growing up in Oberon when I was a young kid my great pop passed away in 2017 Zika ‘Chic’ Tosic he was a great man and founded Oberon engineering.
Can’t wait to just hang out like these people after Coronavirus passes
YES
me too
fuck covid 19, or whatever.
Same dude
fuckhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! corona is here to stay! ....... grow up .............. im 60 ..............anyone who thinks this will go away has a tram up his ARSE!
Don Walker's inspiration for the lyrics was a combination of his memories of Grafton where he had lived as a youth, and of his romantic dreams. Walker later said, "In my mind, it’s a northern New South Wales song. But there’s a lot of people who love that song and in their minds, it’s set in their home towns. A lot of people finish up away from where they come from." Elsewhere, Walker noted that the song was, "not fiction", and about, "returning home after some success in the big city".
The song is "not fiction". I take this to mean there was a girl in Grafton who Don Walker loved, but he had to leave because of greater career opportunities in Sydney. I wonder what happened to that girl - if she knows she has been immortalised by this song.
Driving my lux Ute, dusty corrugated road, dog (Sherpa) in the back, me staring out at the beautiful bush as we drive back to the farm.... Absolute heaven!
Rock on!
one of the greatest examples of 1980s Australia in sound ever.
Lyrically beautifully thought out. The people and places may be the same, but without that person, everything will forever be different. Truly captures the feeling of love and loss and I'm proud that this belongs to Australia x
I wish I could go back in time just for a little bit. Life was so simple yet so good. Loving the memories this song brings
Good on you Emma
I agree emma,get very sentimental!
How was this song and video not a huge hit outside Australia?? 30 years and it’s still moving. Great accompanying film
It was big here in New Zealand. Still gets play on rock radio stations even.
You could say that about Chisel.
wasn't even a big hit in Australia reached 26 on the charts, Khe Sanh didn't even make top 40 absolutely amazing
This song definitely hits differently when you live in a country town.
One of the greatest Aussie songs ever... Easily fav Chisel song...
Would love to have seen more of them in their prime in the early 80's...
What an amazing song. I will always have time for this sentimental bullshit. Just brings me back to a beautiful time in Australia in my childhood when things were a lot simpler.
Exactly!
Oh God the memories that come flooding back to this song ...bloody classic aussie rock
This was my mum and dad's song. I remember mum telling me once when dad had to go to the states on a business trip, he played this song to her over the phone. Since then I see how special it was to them, and how special it is to Australia as a whole.
Back when you had to work that steering wheel to turn it! Fantastic song :)
Always an Australian Iconic Song, an old Flame or a Rural Australian Town in which an individual has spent some time in & is now a stranger but always up for the Road Trip on either 2 x Wheels or 4. That first Larger cuts the dust & bugs from the throat before settling in for the evening after a great day's Riding or Driving to just be able to pass through & appreciate the Rural Australian Pub 🇦🇺 ☝️👍🏾
15 years after 1st hearing this I’m still loving it just as much… all the way from Glasgow/Scotland 🏴
Jimmy Barnes is one of the greatest singers to exist throughout mankind
I miss the 80's in Australia
Me too, at least until neighbours came on TV, that kinda stuffed it.
U.N. Lima Declaration 1975 was the final nail in the coffin for australia
What tf are you on about grasshopper.
80s in Australia was the best. I tell my kids how they missed out.
Yes it was a great time to be alive, here in the 80's. 👍👌👍
Seeing all these comments is beautiful. Bless everyone and may we all help and love each other as this is our ultimate purpose in life.
Its extraordinary the feelings this song conjures up from the moment it starts. For an entire generation it will hold sentimentality, heartbreak, perhaps melancholy, of a very special time in ones life, an invincible time, thats long gone. A gorgeous piece nonetheless.
Favourite song ever.. Australian music is the best.. especially the 70"s & 80's.. even the 90's to now.. thanks Australia 🇦🇺
Followed the band from day 1 Its gotten me threw some tough times in my life and it's relevant today as it was back then Its funny how 1 song can take you back to a time and a place Music is timeless shame we aren't
My favourite Chisel song by far. Something about it brings back the same nostalgia I feel from going back to my own hometown and the longing I feel to reconnect with old friends who haven't changed - the factories that used to make this town feel alive, when she was still alive... all the feels
Very VERY few bands capture the emotion of a time & place like Chisel did...
This is an ageless ballad, so well constructed, written & sung that it is incapable of becoming old.
Pure gold!
3:03 Spine chilling brilliance at it's best.
THE GREATEST bridge of all time, my favorite song of all time, chills thoughout the bridge, almost tears from there out, huge song in this country, but one of the most under rated of all time
+MRDARKTURKEY You got it! 100% correct.
Yeah, it is fucking brilliant
Crank it up every time. Nuff said
This.
In my opinion, this is the song that perfectly reflects on your life and what makes you individual: growing up, first love, mistakes, regrets and triumphs.
Love this song. Gotta go through this town one day when they're blooming
Can't remember if there are flame trees in Oberon, more like the Illawarra, but it's still a beautiful drive, through O'Connell, Tarana, Sodwalls etc....,
Oh God the memories that come flooding back to this song ...bloody classic aussie rock
I miss the 80's in Australia
They wern't just a Pub Rock Band, they were a huge part of an Australian era.
And, what an era!
Being of Scottish heritage, I'm so proud that this masterpiece is by a Scottish-Australian singer. The lyrics are flawless. Anyway, my 18 year old is now playing it on his guitar and hungry for more Cold Chisel. Their music is boundless, long live Cold Chisel! Good taste and honesty!
You're deluded buddy. Saying that Jimmy is Scottish is like saying that Mel Gibson is American. Or that Russel Crowe is Australian... oh wait....
I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but Stephen Prestwich (Liverpool England) and Don Walker (Adelaide Australia) wrote the lyrics to this classic.
Reading all these comments, I realize how great of a song this is. I grew up with this song since my dad always played it in the car, and sometimes I would hear it somewhere and start singing it. XD Although I'm only 14, this song makes me feel nostalgic about the times my family would go on car trips.
+we dont go on car trips like we used to, thats why i feel nostalgic
thats the sweetest thing ive heard for a while....
Lovely comment Cassie. Some trivia, I was 14 when this song first came out. I'm now 48 and this song makes me nostalgic too.
u seam vagwely famileear 2 me. Have wie met? Or have got it complitaly wrung???
I'm sorry, I don't believe I recognise your name?
Like an old friend this song!
Relatable song for ordinary people. Has a memorable beat
Always picture Elizabeth in South Australia in the 80s when I hear this song." Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day " that line always puts a tear in my eyes.
At 52 it does the same to me, ahh the memories of being fit and fearful of nothing
Those rich harmonies in the last chorus are the emotional boiling point of the track. Don Walker wrote so much of the bands work, but Chisel's sound was unique and each member bought so much to each track. Phil Small's Bass playing is some of the best I have heard in my 54year. I play some instruments, but most importantly have a good set of ears, and Phil is seriously worldclass. Listen to his playing on 'Saturday Night' and note how he basically plays melody in quiet spaces before returning to holding down the bottom end with Steve. What a rhythm section those two made. Power, Excitement, Creative, Genuine are words that come to mind. '1983 live 'Barking Spiders'. Listen to Steve & Phil on 'Merry Go Round' and then 'No Sense'. I could go on for hours and I haven't even got to Ian Moss, vocal, guitars, a superbly emotional blues player amongst other styles.
I love this song & film clip. Like you Li reminds of pre-internet world.....you know we survived perfectly well without mobile phones and internet...
that was the best and still the best of times a simpler time
Cool song to hang out with friends in a pub.😎
Poignant that the FC holden (late 50's) there in this classic is now only as old as a VT Commodore would be now. A song of an Australia that isn't quite the same anymore.
Just seen Chisel for the first time in over 35 years at their Blood Moon show and their Flame Tree's rendition was out of this world, still the greatest Aussie pub band EVER
Absolute Chisel classic. Loved his voice on this song.
I don’t know how Emotional I become when I listen to this song but I have that feeling that when I’ll be older I will cry like a child just by listening to this song
it has a sensitivity that's free from anything sugary you get in music these days.
Maybe because we know those times won't really come around again.
It's because it resonates in all of us that feeling of a life passed by and filled with nostalgia and what else could have been. Every human being will feel that in the latter part of their lives no matter what
This song evokes such strong emotions
Cold Chisels best song by a mile IMO.
Love it and the lyrics say so much.
takes me back to teen years long time ago miss my mates from back then miss them heaps
This is Aussie all the way!! On ya guys reminded me of the good old days working hard with the wireless blasting Aussie tunes out, Smoko, Lunch, Afternoon smoko, and Overtime to work breakups
The video,the song the band
Superb.
This classic song was written by the late Steve Prestwich (drums) and Don Walker (keyboard) of Cold Chisel.
J. David Semple
At their best they rivalled all the great songwriting teams. Always doing something unexpected and subtle.
Don Walker was also a songwriter who wrote many songs for the late great Slim Dusty - he actually wrote one of my favourite Slim songs, Charleville.....
My Dad & Don were best mates in high school in Grafton & still keep in touch, which is where this song is written about. I lived there for 2 of my teen yrs, & yep, no change & no pace. The most exciting thing to happen to Grafton in the 90's was the opening of McDonald's in Sth Grafton! Lol
Buggers me why Grafton Council cut down the flame treas on the drive in...they were utterly stunning, & barring Jacaranda Festival & the beautiful abundance of purple or the few streets left that are tunnels of ancient Morton Bay Figs(though they're down streets pple passing through would never go down), the flame trees were Graftons only really recognisable & beautiful land mark or claim to fame.
I'm proud to say some of the video footage they've used in a couple of clips where they used live pub/concert shots was filmed by my Dad. Funny, cause I was embarrassed by the family connection to Cold Chisel in my teens(like Mum going on a date with Ian Moss post parental split), but it's something I'm proud of now. Hah. ;)
Ian. Once again you bring so much to my memories of 80's and 90's Australiana. Hope you and the members are still doing well. Love your legacy. Well done.
I relate this song to moving from Melbourne to Sydney in 1989. My heart was so low leaving behind family and friends. The beautiful flame trees along the Princes Hwy (as well as the occasional jacaranda) were stark against the bluer skies of NSW. Bitterweet imaginings.
This is my neighbours favourite song ....... whether he likes it or not
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Yes, used to see Jimmy falling all over the stage! What an aussie
+Li D (0ut0fFocusWot) he scottish like me not aussie lol
@@kimcoppinger you're not wrong, but man, did he ever go native!
This song makes me cry me and my girlfriend useto sing this in the shower 😄 she holds a special place in my heart forever
this song is timeless, regardless of what generation you, it resonates
When I listen to this song I think of home. A quaint little town on the Murray River where I spent the summers of my childhood. We don't go up there anymore and I like to listen to this song and sift through all the memories before they fade completely. We used to put this song on repeat at the pub and, as my siblings and I were underage, we'd all go out to the beer garden and dance and sing. Truly one of the best songs ever made, at least in my opinion.
As a Australian girl I grew up in the outback of Australia and this has been a favoured song of mine and my father's
I think everyone can relate to this song luv it
Had to come back and watch this video clip today, as I attended Jimmy's working class man tour last night, and he told us that this video clip was made without his involvement and knowledge because the band had a falling out with him at that stage. So the only time you see him, is a TV shot. He wasn't angry or shitty about it either.. it was just a part of his life he shared with us. 😊
Full body GOOSEBUMPS love you Chisel 🙏
I sang this out loud driving today. It so reminds me of driving trucks.. the words, that harmony...gotta play it loud...DO YOU REMEMBER🎶
Haha definitely Oberon, I used to work at the NAB there in the late '80's and it is filmed at the Tourist Hotel where we used to drink.
No matter where I am or what I'm doing..this song stops me in my tracks.
Romance,heartbreak,love,all wrapped up in melancholy...sang with some slight vitriol...so as not to offend... This could be one,if not the most, beautiful song ever written. A torrent of tears with evrey listen... Go Barnsey,Go Chisel!!!!!
This song is nothing but brilliance. Pure brilliance. They really should have gave it go in North America, they'd be as big a name as any other Aussie band who made it there. I didn't even know they existed until I moved to Australia.
a true aussie song i just love it
...And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her...
The anthem of most young Australians of the time.
Damn. This song still brings a lump to my throat !!!!! Genius.........................Thanks Henny for introducing me to it !!!!
Such a beautiful song and a wonderful sentiment, that sadly seems missing from Aussie life these day. Amen.
I'm form New Zealand, Lived here almost 20 years and I agree. This feeling!!!! Sublime.
This song is still magic.
Whenever I sing this at family friendly events - I always sing 'who needs those sentimental stories anyway'. Same meaning... family friendly :)
One of the GREATEST songs ever!
