Yup, this, Cheap Wine, Oh No Not You Again, Come Said the Boy, Sons of Beaches. All speak of a time and a culture past and invoke memories of those days for all who lived them.
Hell yes!! When you had the best mates who introduced you to bands like this and now older you look back and reminice. Good times. Wish they did not end.
I’m from the rural southern US, and I stumbled across this song about 6 months ago. I was already a fan of the 80s Australian music scene, and this song just added to it. It has quickly become one of my favorites. I have a dear friend from Queensland who came over here for a year when we were in high school and this song always brings her to mind. We’re both in our late 20s now and can definitely relate to this song.
Glad you enjoyed it. The Australian music scene was huge in the 80s. A few lesser known bands include The Machinations. Uncanny X Men. Boom Crash Opera. The Models. Some of these are more pop though.
Fascinating! Southern US culturally always seems so utterly alien to Australia, for me (especially the extreme Christianity, where Aussie Christians prefer largely to be unassuming). So nice 2 hear of cultural links w some down that way. (Also, Shane Howard was, may still be, a relaxed Catholic, informed by principles of social justice after Vatican II.)
If you didn't love Shane Howard for his music, you'd love him for everything he's done over the years to support the careers of up and coming Aussie musicians. He's kind, talented, and generous. One of the greats.
Me too..... as much as i loved the song, i didn't really understand. This song takes me back to a time when i had just arrived in Australia & some good times :)
I used to go see Goanna on a Saturday night in the pub scene in Melbourne. Solid Rock performed on stage in a local pub arena is a memory I'm so happy to have. Experienced Shane singing a rocked-down version in an outdoor venue in St Kilda a while ago too .. just brilliant.
This delicious piece of Aussie poetry to music makes me desperately home sick for 1970s/80s Australia. Listening to it just now strangely I could still hear the vinyl crackle.
This song was released 40 years ago in 1982, I believe. Where did that time go? Those were great times and this song makes me think of Australia, my home 🇦🇺
This song reminds me of when the world was a different place and Australia was still challenging but a great place to live, i would give a million dollars to go back in time to 1982.
It takes me back to a share house on the PCH at Coolie a hundred yards from the Tweed. Orchy bottle bongs and JJJ on a Sunday arvo (only time we got it in QLD then).
Unfortunately Shane Howard copped an absolute shitload of abuse on social media from a lot of dickhead self-proclaimed "proud Australians" last year because of his views, to the point where he stated in the press that although he loves his birth country, he cannot be proud of it. And he returned his Order of Australia medal too. Still a man of principle.
In the 80's when this song was released (1983) I was travelling Australia in my beat up Holden HQ Panel van -moving from town to town "getting myself together financially" in each place until the fun had run out and it was time to move on. Great days - great friends - great times. This song takes me back every time - Damm! - nearly 40 years!!!!
I'd forgotten just how wonderful this song is. You'd never find such brilliant instrumental backing in songs of today. There's just so many components making up that sound.
Yes...so so fortunate to be brought up in the 70/80's. .the pub scene for music was unreal...saw everybody that ever was ....Thankyou for the brilliant music & memories 👌🥇
Spirit of Place was the second album I bought with my own money I earned from washing cars and boats at my parent's holiday units in Hervey Bay QLD in 1983. Good times. I miss the 80s!
This song "Razor's Edge" (track 3) coupled with (track 4) "Scenes (from an occasional window)", are my two favorite tracks on the amazing "Spirit of Place" album. These two tracks are basically one continuous track as they just meld together. I never tire of these songs nor do I ever tire of this album. For me this album is my all time favorite recording. I've been listening to this album for 36 odd years now and it has never grown old. Shane Howard is a staggeringly talented singer and songwriter. Rose Bygrave is seriously talented too and her contributions here are very evident. Pound for pound Oz produces the best musicians/singers/songwriters on the planet.....so much amazing music coming off of that island......wished I lived there to experience it all live.
Such happy happy memories of my days living in Aussie, discovered Goanna then, back in the 80's...makes me just as happy now 30 years later...kiwi bird.
Well I'll be buggered! A positive comment about Australia coming from a New Zealander? Have I entered a parallel universe? Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed your time here.
yes bro'. feel so fortunate to have lived in Oz at its heights, we thought these classics were normal then but oh so meaningful now. Could have been champions. Hey Hey its Saturday. Red Faces. And, also fortunate to leave in 2009. What a bloody shame. A spirit squashed. Honest Govt Ads... a vestige still clinging on... check them out. Capt Stew.
I've loved Goanna since I was a kid, 35/40 years ago. I used to cover this song in Melbourne pubs at my solo acoustic gigs. It always went down really well. Great band, great song.
I think we all live on a Razors Edge. Not one of us knows exactly where our lives will end up. Day by day or with each turn of the wheel we try to find a bit of happiness but for some it will forever elude us. My Australian friend sent this song amongst others to me on a Cd that forever changed my outlook on lyrics of songs. Thank You MISH!
Sometimes it amazes me how absolutely criminal the amount of lack of exposure a some great Australian song gets. This is case in point. Wake up media or people.
I remember the flat very well in Punt Road South Yarra and climbing those steps. I lived here for about a year. Then I was in Sacramento USA a year later and this video came on of Goanna with Who Could It Be Now. I looked at my mate and said that is in the flat I was in a year or so before. Then I met one of band members about two years ago and he said they did lots of videos in that flat, and this is another.
The number of times in 1975-76 I walked across that pedestrian crossing in Abbey Road in North London, made famous by the Beatles on that iconic Album cover. It's spooky, isn't it.
This is my absolute favourite Goanna song (which, particularly for an album like 'Spirit of Place') is hard to pick! It saddens me that Solid Rock gets all the attention (well it is an amazing song), but Razor's Edge is as good!
I ran into Brolga, the bass player, a few years back. I'm a smaller time muso than him (actually met him through the course of my real profession). He told me to buy an acoustic guitar from Aldi. Reckoned they were great. He was right. So I bought two. My mate bought two too.
I haven't this song 'Living On The Razor's Edge' for at least 30 years,gee It brings back so many happy memories growing up in Geelong and heading down to the west coast on those summer weekends,the whole album is pretty good as well. Regards, Doug Hughes Williamstown Victoria,Australia
Actually this song brings tears to my eyes. So relatable and thinking about my 20’s in the 1990’s and trying to chase that dream of living independently.
Manly beach 1982 with a beautiful Canadian girl,at 5ish into Manly Styne ,king prawns & Scallops from fish shop on the end of Manly corso,pure Heaven.I miss Australia & my Aussie mates so much,love you North shore.x
This is an unabashed "Ausie classic" and one of my personal favorite songs. Solid Rock was possibly the better choice for the single, with its "invasion" theme, but musically, I think this is streets ahead as a song and Goanna were never better. The lyrics capture beautifully the way people get trapped in their lives; the vocals are excellent and the playing is outstanding - pity the video misses some of the intro and all of the outro part, which is some more beautiful guitar. A sublime solo by Ross Hannaford, but I also think Graham Davidge was one of Austraia's unsung guitar greats and if not then definitely one of the best guitarists to come out of Adelaide. He deserved more fame than he received (although he did seem to have a habit of having doors open to him and not stepping through those doors - he was briefly a member of LRB; he left Goanna etc.).
Wayne Manna My daughter is close friends with Graham’s daughter, and even though I have known Graham for years, I only found out recently that he is an Aussie music legend! I had no idea as he never mentioned it. He is such a lovely guy and very humble. I also found out that my stepdad was friends with Graham’s brother Brian... such a small world!
I have a top five of all songs I have ever heard. THIS rates in that five as I connect to it so easily AND it is just good to sing to! Goanna are a GREAT band :)
LYRICS Got a letter from Davie just the other day Said livin in Queensland was not OK Can't find the money just to pay the rent 'nd the food and the herb - Well they're just heaven sent He's been livin' on the Razor's edge Tryin' to touch the sun He won't fall for that same old trick again Cathy's alright. She just gets lonely everyday She's livin' with a dream-world of yesterday And there she is but here she'll stay "Well it just never works out," she said, "Anyway!" She's been livin' on the Razor's edge Tryin' to touch the sun She won't fall for that same old trick again Lulu's too tired of livin' down by Torquay She's gettin' herself together - financially Says "One of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun" But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come? She's been livin' on the Razor's edge Tryin' to touch the sun She won't fall for that same old trick again Got a letter from Davie just the other day 'nd the note just read, "Please come to Byron Bay" Well the heart says 'Go' 'nd the head says 'Stay' 'nd the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday... Don't go livin' on a Razor's edge Or tryin' to touch the sun 'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again - (that's what they tell ya') Well we're livin' on a Razor's edge Tryin' to touch the sun 'nd we won't fall for that same old trick again (Such a fine line... ...I was meanin' to write)
Such an awesome long to listen to in 2020 as when it was released in 1982 when songs were from the heart and soul, i wish i was still in the 80s, The 56 people that don't like this song need to be deported from Australia
I rode from Queensland to Sydney with a bloke who said he played bass for a band called Goanna We rode together all night stopping for coffee fuel and a chat We stopped just before Sydney and he rolled the biggest joint I had ever seen I went home to the western suburbs he was riding on to Melbourne it was now just early morning That was early 1982 he was on a Honda CX 650 if I remember correctly and I was on my 7:50 katana I was a very young 19 and only heard of the band and the album later A very treasured memory and I still listen to that album today and think of that experience

This is one of those special songs that instantly transports you back in time.
Such a beautiful time, too - Australia 1982.
Yup, this, Cheap Wine, Oh No Not You Again, Come Said the Boy, Sons of Beaches. All speak of a time and a culture past and invoke memories of those days for all who lived them.
Hell yes!! When you had the best mates who introduced you to bands like this and now older you look back and reminice. Good times. Wish they did not end.
yes but many guitars keyboards barely heard
So Aussie. So proud to grow up in this country in the 70s and 80s. Take us back there please.
Totally Agree Dave. I would go back in a heartbeat 💓
Dave.a I’m coming too! Save me a seat.
Me toooooo
🇬🇸❤️
Take me back please what happened to our society ?
I'm a pom ..my heart lives in the 80's with a certain Australian lady..and the great bands X
I’m from the rural southern US, and I stumbled across this song about 6 months ago. I was already a fan of the 80s Australian music scene, and this song just added to it.

❤️🇺🇸 ❤️🇬🇸
🇦🇺👍🇺🇸
Big wheels keep on turning all day long . Lol i love this and solid rock .
Glad you enjoyed it.
The Australian music scene was huge in the 80s.
A few lesser known bands include
The Machinations.
Uncanny X Men.
Boom Crash Opera.
The Models.
Some of these are more pop though.
Fascinating! Southern US culturally always seems so utterly alien to Australia, for me (especially the extreme Christianity, where Aussie Christians prefer largely to be unassuming). So nice 2 hear of cultural links w some down that way. (Also, Shane Howard was, may still be, a relaxed Catholic, informed by principles of social justice after Vatican II.)
One of the few Aussie rock bands that sing with an Australian accent. Sounds great.
Best comment, hands down. Australia is that solid rock.
Men at work, Mental as anything, Powderfunger, Skyhooks, Matt Finish just a few more to add to your collection. ❤❤
@@shefliesbyherownwings The Men at Work singer was a Scot.
Mentals sort of sung in a half n half kind of way too.
Imagine listening to this song during a warm late afternoon on a beautiful beach somewhere in Australia. That is happiness right there.
At Byron Bay, perhaps.
But, living in Queensland is not okay.
Sure do!
How about beside Torquay?
I have many times!
If you didn't love Shane Howard for his music, you'd love him for everything he's done over the years to support the careers of up and coming Aussie musicians. He's kind, talented, and generous. One of the greats.
I think it’s because they sang about our Aussie way of life and how good the times were. None of the shit today. Good ol Aussie fun.
"Razor's Edge" is a song written by Ian Morrison and Shane Howard
You can tell what a big heart he has from his lyrics!
This is another reason to love Australian music/etc... We're all on some razor's edge of reality, aren't we?
I never understood this song as a teenager. As an over 50’s woman living alone in a rural area, on a marginal wage, I so get it now. Awesome song.
And I bet you play it often now to take you back to a time and place you remember xx
I hope things are some kind of okay for you...I would feel so much more happy there, soaking up your culture...
Me too..... as much as i loved the song, i didn't really understand. This song takes me back to a time when i had just arrived in Australia & some good times :)
You’re beautiful in all ways x
Smart lad, unusual for an Aussie 🇬🇧
I used to go see Goanna on a Saturday night in the pub scene in Melbourne. Solid Rock performed on stage in a local pub arena is a memory I'm so happy to have. Experienced Shane singing a rocked-down version in an outdoor venue in St Kilda a while ago too .. just brilliant.
God, so young . . . we all were.
One of my favourite songs, I grew up with it in the 80's in Melbourne. How this classic only has 400k views is criminal.
yer right Dan ....should be a law against "dickheadism" lol
This delicious piece of Aussie poetry to music makes me desperately home sick for 1970s/80s Australia. Listening to it just now strangely I could still hear the vinyl crackle.
Nick D me too
When Australia was still young and free.
Your words =
Music of this era had true grit and passion and reverberation through everybody who watched any of their gigs
Me, too, Nick!
If only there was a way back there.
As a Canuck who just stumbled upon it on a late drunken night I loved it immediately. Great tune!
This song was released 40 years ago in 1982, I believe. Where did that time go? Those were great times and this song makes me think of Australia, my home 🇦🇺
Almost 40 years on.......I still love this song. Timeless and so meaningful.
One of my all time favorite Aussie albums "Spirit of place" it truly is solid rock ❤
This song reminds me of when the world was a different place and Australia was still challenging but a great place to live, i would give a million dollars to go back in time to 1982.
It takes me back to a share house on the PCH at Coolie a hundred yards from the Tweed. Orchy bottle bongs and JJJ on a Sunday arvo (only time we got it in QLD then).
Except for one thing - the 82 GF still haunts me
If you find that time machine i will pay half and go back with you
Me too
Yeah, just takes me back to when I travelled up to Brisbane from Sydney, in the 80's.
Months long journey and so many memories, so many great people.
About a trillion views short of what this song deserves
One of those songs that never fails to sound fresh no matter how many repeated plays you sit through. File under 'Underrated Classic'.
Listening again always leaves tears in my eyes. Sadly, I never realised how well we existed. Great era, great country.
I think Goanna are one of the most underrated bans of the 80s. Definitely one of my all time favourites
Makes me proud to be an Aussie listening to a amazing band . So many wonderfull songs ❤️ Thankyou
Unfortunately Shane Howard copped an absolute shitload of abuse on social media from a lot of dickhead self-proclaimed "proud Australians" last year because of his views, to the point where he stated in the press that although he loves his birth country, he cannot be proud of it.

A jam in a small room . So wonderfull and the band is so Happy . Iconic Great band . Love your music . Legends
I think Goanna are one of the most undereat bans of the 80s. Definitely one of my all time favourites
Simply one of the best written and composed songs.. And what a sensational chorus.. Words can't explain this
Yes...so so fortunate to be brought up in the 70/80's. .the pub scene for music was unreal...saw everybody that ever was ....Thankyou for the brilliant music & memories 👌🥇
The best goanna song by a long way.
John Bell What about solid rock?
Always thought this plus common ground. IMO far overrides Solid Rock.
@@moelester2817 i agree its very hard to argue with solid rock
This is so lay back .
Do you remember the album by goanna. What about ripper 76. That's when we were allowed to express our feelings
Such a beautiful song, harmonies just Devine. Saw goanna last Saturday ❤️
Goanna made me proud to be Australian!
🙌🇦🇺
❤️🇬🇸
AMEN to that Roger.

The Critter we agree mr critter. We came here after seeing Solid Rock performed by Black Armband. We share your enthusiasm for this music. Huzzah!
I had two cassette tapes in my car back then, & Spirit of Place was one of them.
Absolutely awesome as a band and awesome with his work with the indigeonous. Great to see
Such happy happy memories of my days living in Aussie, discovered Goanna then, back in the 80's...makes me just as happy now 30 years later...kiwi bird.
Well I'll be buggered! A positive comment about Australia coming from a New Zealander? Have I entered a parallel universe? Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoyed your time here.
marie mcaulay love kiwi
yes bro'. feel so fortunate to have lived in Oz at its heights, we thought these classics were normal then but oh so meaningful now. Could have been champions. Hey Hey its Saturday. Red Faces. And, also fortunate to leave in 2009. What a bloody shame. A spirit squashed. Honest Govt Ads... a vestige still clinging on... check them out. Capt Stew.
I can literally recall the first time I heard this when it was new. FN hell time flies. Miss the 80's so much.
Why don't we hear this on the radio anymore?. I am a radio announcer from way back70's 80's 90's was the best time for aussie music and radio
This song must make it on the top 50 great Aussie songs.......no doubt.
I've loved Goanna since I was a kid, 35/40 years ago. I used to cover this song in Melbourne pubs at my solo acoustic gigs. It always went down really well. Great band, great song.
Classic Aussie song. Absolutely love it.
A great underrated song. A song about aspirations that don't always happen. Wish it went longer.
Grateful i got to experience Australia in these times..I will try to pass the spirit of it to my son.
sublime song,this and matt moffats 'short note' are historical treasures in Australian music
One of the first singles I ever bought. Still love Goanna to this day.
I think we all live on a Razors Edge. Not one of us knows exactly where our lives will end up. Day by day or with each turn of the wheel we try to find a bit of happiness but for some it will forever elude us. My Australian friend sent this song amongst others to me on a Cd that forever changed my outlook on lyrics of songs. Thank You MISH!
This song sums up Australia. Friendly, layed back, down to earth, decent good people.
A fantastic tune...takes me back to my younger days growing up in a great country.
We're all living on the razors edge now.
Average Aussies are all struggling to make ends meet.
Absolute classic. I never get tired of listening to Goanna. Rippa album
Sometimes it amazes me how absolutely criminal the amount of lack of exposure a some great Australian song gets.
This is case in point. Wake up media or people.
Marcia and Rose on this, and many other Goanna tracks, elevate it from good to great.
It doesn't get much better than this and even now every time I hear it it still makes the blood flow
I have loved this song forever. One of the best. And it somehow never grows old.
Every bloody day!
First heard this on countdown , hit me in the guts , i was a young kid then, still does now
How fantastic is this song!
LOVELY to hear this, after all these years.... Mark, TAKE THAT. CJx
My first two albums I got was Goanna and Men at Work, and listened to em both a LOT, music that defined me.
Heartfelt lyrics. Just sublime.
1982...... :) :) Still sounds great in 2020
mate this song will always be great
Classic Aussie rock. Wish they would tour again. Can’t get any more Aussie than this. What a tribute to this great country and her people. Xxx
I remember the flat very well in Punt Road South Yarra and climbing those steps. I lived here for about a year. Then I was in Sacramento USA a year later and this video came on of Goanna with Who Could It Be Now. I looked at my mate and said that is in the flat I was in a year or so before. Then I met one of band members about two years ago and he said they did lots of videos in that flat, and this is another.
Seriously? Amazing.
The number of times in 1975-76 I walked across that pedestrian crossing in Abbey Road in North London, made famous by the Beatles on that iconic Album cover. It's spooky, isn't it.
This is my absolute favourite Goanna song (which, particularly for an album like 'Spirit of Place') is hard to pick! It saddens me that Solid Rock gets all the attention (well it is an amazing song), but Razor's Edge is as good!
Love the electric guitar solo.
Played on an acoustic guitar.
Absolutely lol
One word legend 👍💯
God I love this song, so many memories
I ran into Brolga, the bass player, a few years back. I'm a smaller time muso than him (actually met him through the course of my real profession). He told me to buy an acoustic guitar from Aldi. Reckoned they were great. He was right. So I bought two. My mate bought two too.
This is such a great song
Pure class.........timeless......love it
Aussie Music at its best....
I grew up in QLD, This is a classic to me.
I haven't this song 'Living On The Razor's Edge' for at least 30 years,gee It brings back so many happy memories growing up in Geelong and heading down to the west coast on those summer weekends,the whole album is pretty good as well.

Great Aussie rock, greetings from Melbourne Australia.
Now this IS the a EXCELLENT song it seems today popular music IS so plastic no emotion no soul. THANK GOD for TH-cam and nostalgia

If I ever want to feel 80s
I play this
Such a simple time back then good times fucking great music what happened to Australian music
LYRICS
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
Said livin in Queensland was not OK
Can't find the money just to pay the rent
'nd the food and the herb -
Well they're just heaven sent
He's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
He won't fall for that same old trick again
Cathy's alright. She just gets lonely everyday
She's livin' with a dream-world of yesterday
And there she is but here she'll stay
"Well it just never works out," she said, "Anyway!"
She's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
Lulu's too tired of livin' down by Torquay
She's gettin' herself together - financially
Says "One of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun"
But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?
She's been livin' on the Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
'nd the note just read, "Please come to Byron Bay"
Well the heart says 'Go' 'nd the head says 'Stay'
'nd the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday...
Don't go livin' on a Razor's edge
Or tryin' to touch the sun
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again - (that's what they tell ya')
Well we're livin' on a Razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
'nd we won't fall for that same old trick again
(Such a fine line...
...I was meanin' to write)
Just beautiful
Love this song. Pure bliss.
I remember when real music like this was on the radio.
Such an under-rated band and song
Such an awesome long to listen to in 2020 as when it was released in 1982 when songs were from the heart and soul, i wish i was still in the 80s, The 56 people that don't like this song need to be deported from Australia
I rode from Queensland to Sydney with a bloke who said he played bass for a band called Goanna
We rode together all night stopping for coffee fuel and a chat
We stopped just before Sydney and he rolled the biggest joint I had ever seen
I went home to the western suburbs he was riding on to Melbourne it was now just early morning
That was early 1982 he was on a Honda CX 650 if I remember correctly and I was on my 7:50 katana
I was a very young 19 and only heard of the band and the album later
A very treasured memory and I still listen to that album today and think of that experience
A rock song at its finest……….love it
Fantastic you are Shane n Marcia!!!
Tony and cathy vitale ..in my heart😊
Born 76, I'll always remember 1982 in Brisbane as the commonwealth games was on and Robert de castella winning
love the song .watch the clip for old mate s solo on the acoustic .love it
Fantastic
