Paul Kelly – Every ……. City Paul Maurice Kelly (born 13 January 1955, South Australia) is an Australian singer-songwriter, based in Melbourne, and widely considered as an icon of Australian music.

His lyrics, simply and laconically voiced, have managed to speak to Australian experiences and history perhaps more broadly and directly than any other artist, from “Bradman”1, about the Australian cricketer Sir Donald Bradman, through “To Her Door”2, a tale of a struggling couple’s breakup and attempts at reconciliation, to “Every Fucking City”3, a darkly comic story of a backpacker chasing a former girlfriend through a Europe
Brilliant, thank you for posting
awesome song, thanks for posting it

Are you listening BooBoo?
A wonderful song – certainly reflective of the experiences of many Australians, I do wonder if it is a worldwide phenomena?
