Music and Lyrics by Courtney Barnett

Rae Street Lyrics:
In the morning I’m slow. I drag a chair over to the window. And I watch what’s going on. A garbage truck tiptoes along the road. Light a candle for the suffering. Send my best wishes with the wind. All our candles, hopes n prayers, though well-meaning they don’t mean a thing, unless we see some change. I might change my sheets today.

Well time is money and money is no man’s friend. And all eyes on the pavement, I’m not gonna touch ya don’t worry so much about it.

The day begins to shine. The parent teaches the child how to ride the bike wobbles side to side. Two dogs entangle, everybody smiles. The pair across the street; one’s up the ladder and one’s on their knees, painting the faded brick. What’s the point, it looks fine from up here.

Well time is money and money is no man’s friend. And all eyes on the pavement, I’m not gonna touch ya don’t worry so much about it. I’m just waiting for the day to become night.

Next door the kids run amok. The mother screams “don’t you ever shut-up?” And there’s one thing I know; the sun will rise today and tomorrow. We got a long, long way to go.

Well time is money and money is no man’s friend. And all eyes on the pavement, I’m not gonna touch ya don’t worry so much about it. I’m just waiting for the day to become night.

Shine those shoes n mow those lawns, let’s get back to normal. Lay it all on the table, you seem so stable, but you’re just hanging on. Let go that expectation, change the station, find out what out what you want.

Es Radio Doble Nueve 99.1FM
Lima, Perú!

[wilbert]

This gives me strong “wakin on a pretty day” vibes. I love it

[bendean]

Time is money and money is no mans friend one of the best lines I’ve heard in a long time and it sung perfectly

[sarisalin]

This song is so relaxed it took me some time to realize it's a masterpiece.

[jettastoiletrollshrine]

NEW ALBUM??? Thank you!! My year is going to get so much better :')

[trexinvert]

A world where everyone is Courtney is a very nice world, indeed.

[JulianoBarreto]

I'd definitely live in a World full of Courtney Barnetts!!!

[dahlia]

This makes me feel so hopeless, and so hopeful at the same time- it's a feeling that's unique to some things and it's fantastic <3

[fuzzybee]

Courtney is brilliant, I'm so glad she's back

[hwyisalive]

What an incredible talent. She's the real rock and roll deal, and can touch your heart with the simplest folk song or thrash on electric guitar like Hendrix. And absolutely everything in between. I love her music.

[izaactheberean]

I love the catchiness in her songs & wisdom in her lyrics.

[ellemusick]

“I’m just waiting for the day to become night” is my new mantra!

[ElevenBC]

Lyrics are interesting and seem to be a mix of both a bleak and a bright outlook on life.

Can't wait to hear how they're delivered to see if I am right.... or, more likely, totally wrong!

[andreas]

Courtney's just a precious artist, one like those we need to cherish a lot. Her music has been a great company for me during these rough times. I appreciate her humour, honesty and awesome way of making art.

[alexwebmch]

I couldn't help but smile when I first heard this song. Charming and comforting. Thanks Courtney.

[kahealani]

I’m SO THANKFUL to the artists/team whom put the lyrics in the description, THANK

[eliciabryanphoto]

Thank you for shining your light on the world, your music has meant everything to me through the pandemic.

[bronkoyotte]

I love how much in Melbourne this makes me feel. Such a nice and dull place at the same time. Courtney is so real.

[MrBrno]

The world needs you more than ever Courtney! I'm so happy she is back <3

[aussietaipan]

I'm a person who grew up in the 70s and 80s, we had such a great pool of talent bands then. I thought today in 2021 the Australian music industry was dead but I could not be so wrong. I absolutely love this song. Thanks to Triple J for showing the way for today's artists.
