Evie Part 1
I got some money in my pocket
I got the car keys in my hand
I got myself a coupla tickets
To see a rock'n'rollin band
Oh little girl just get on your shoes
We're gonna hear some sound
C'mon girl you know there ain't no time to mess around
Evie
Evie
Evie let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down
You've got the body of a woman
The way you move it like a queen
You've got the face to raise a riot
And still you're only 17
Oh little girl you're oh so shy
You hardly make a sound
C'mon babe you know there ain't no time to mess around
Evie
Evie
Evie let your hair hang down
C'mon try it baby
Take me by the hand
There's a world out there for you
You've got to understand
You got the chance to make it
Who's gonna pick and choose
C'mon give me just one try
You know that you can't lose
Body of a woman
You know you make me lose my breath
You know you give me such a feeling
You only scare me half to death
Oh little girl you're so reserved
You hardly make a sound
C'mon baby you know there ain't no time to mess around
Evie
Evie
Evie let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down
C'mon try it baby
Let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down
C'mon try it girl
Let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down
There's a world out there for you
Let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down
Let your hair...
Hang down
Evie Part 2
Evie
There seems so much to say
But if you know me well
You'd understand the way I do
Evie
Must be a better way
To say the things I feel
The love I only know with you
Oh but I don't know what it is
That makes me feel
The way I do
Oh Evie
I'm nothing without you
Evie
The sun is shining now
My eyes are open now
I see so much I never knew
Evie
I want to thank you now
For giving me this child
So much a part of me and you
But I don't know what it is
That makes me feel the way I do, Oh
Evie
Oh Evie
Oh Evie
So much in love with you
Evie Part 3
When I woke this morning
I was king of the world
Longing to know if we had a boy or a girl
Yes I had a feeling
As proud as any man
Could ever hope to be
Without any woman
I don't know where I am
It seems so unreal
That I just can't understand
With each passing minute
The one that I love
Is slipping away from me
Before I know it I'm losing you (yeah yeah)
Losing you
Losing you (I'm losing you)
Before I know it I'm loseing you (yeah yeah)
Losing you
Losing you
There's no need to worry
I can still hear them say (still hear them say)
For every minute every hour every day (every day)
So just you relax
Take the weight off your back
There's nothing you can do
For how could they know this simple thing could go wrong
For once in a million
It just happens along (happens along)
I can't understand it
I can't think at all
I don't know what to do
Before I know it I'm losing you (oh oh)
Losing you
Losing you (I'm losing you)
Before I know it I'm losing you (losing you)
Losing you
Losing you
Yeah I'm losing you
I can't believe this is happening
I can't believe this is real
I don't believe I can take anymore
I can't carry on, no, I can't carry on
When I had the faith
Well I'd go down on my knees
Will somebody help me
Won't somebody please
So tell me I'm sleeping
Just tell me I'm dreaming
I wake up again
Oh Mr. Man
Before I know it I'm losing you (losing you)
Losing you
Losing you (I'm losing you)
Before I know it I'm losing you (oh yeah)
Losing you (yeah)
Losing you
Before I know it I'm losing you (losing you)
Losing you (losing you)
Losing you (yeah)
Yeah yeah I'm losing you - I'm losing you
Stevie Wright may well be regarded as a pioneer of Australian Rock 'N' Roll ... In the 60's he was with the incredible band The Easybeats who enjoyed a long string of hits ... His solo success in the 70's was just as Incredible with more hits and his live shows were just AWESOME ... In the 80's he continued the tradition of quality Rock 'N'Roll and although older he never seemed to let the fans down as he still Rocked just like it was the 60's ... His LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE at The Bridgeway Hotel in Adelaide in 1987 captures 3 decades of hits ... Stevie's Music will Rock On Forever.
The best boy meets girl, boy loses girl (with a terrible twist) song ever.

this is the song that got me into rock music. i was 9. its sacred to me* and i do not want ANYONE messing with my faith. thanx.
hearing/seeing stevie wright sing this live at the 'concert of the decade' on the steps on the sydeny opera house in '79 is one of my strongest and most treasured musical memories.
* it makes me weep too.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
The cover bit was a bittongue in cheek, I doubt they ever would. Would be like trying to cover Dire Straits Telegraph Road or Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb, would be absolutely awesome, but would never happen.
I love this pub version of it, wish I'd been in Sydney in 79!
