about

Charles is the first single off the forthcoming album, Heart Gallop, by Brisbane band, June Low.

lyrics

I once knew a man who lived over the river bend
In a squat on a hill just past West End
American man with a golden mane
And a Jesus beard you couldn’t tame
Lived from the land and hand to mouth
Travelled by foot and he travelled far
And his name, oh his name
Charles Heffernan
Charles Heffernan

Say Chucky oh where are you now
I’ve been lookin all over this town
In the parks in the trees in the vagrant’s houses
By parking lots and under the starses
Oh, where’d you go, how’d you get there, what was it like
Charles Heffernan

Remember that night we drank and smoked
A whole packet of camels I nearly choked
My throat did tickle and my voice was hoarse
For three months or more I could barely talk
Oh, did you make it home that night or did you find a new one instead
Charles Heffernan

Say Chucky I was wondering, did you ever forgive him
He left you when you were very young
And things weren’t ever quite the same again
He was hungry for the bottle you were hungry for his love
And I know something of your pain
Though for me it’s not quite the same
Charles Heffernan

Tell me did you ever settle down
Wife and kids outta town
Or are you just wandering still
Like a vagabond alchemist through the hills
And I wish that we kept in touch
Maybe it did not mean that much
But I still oh I think of you
You’ve been wandering through the back streets of my mind again
Charles Heffernan
