Cold Chisel - The Mansions lyrics

I went down to The Mansions Catch the early morning crowd I went down to The Mansions Catch the early morning crowd They got My Way on the jukebox And everybody belts it out There’s a big black van in upper Kellett Street Men in body armour moving softly on their feet The whisper is the shotguns are staked out in pursuit Of a man in a room above a house of ill-repute I went down to The Mansions Catch the early morning crowd I went down to The Mansions Catch the early morning crowd They got My Way on the jukebox And everybody belts it out The gendarmes lead the escapee, half asleep and wired Barefoot out the doorway, and not a shot is fired The drunks are on the street now, schooners in their hand Ready for the punchline as it rolls around again I went down to The Mansions I went down to The Mansions I went down to The Mansions I went down to The Mansions They got My Way on the jukebox And everybody belts it out
