	Umm.. Jaffer and Dressed To Depress, Hindley St is a place in Brisbane!! Not everything revolves around Adelaide!

	Hindley Street is the Red Light District in Adelaide. It is also home to some dodgy backpacker places.

No Picture sebastian Wanna Be	#4 by sebastian Shamburg at Sep 15, 1976 at 4:18 AM EST
	Come on guys, it's not that hard! He's in a hotel room, and he's an artist, so what does that suggest to you? He's TOURING! Todd Street Mall is in Alice Springs. A gentle winter haze might be found in Canberra. Hindley Street would definitely be refering to Adelaide. And where else would you find a western ocean breeze but in Perth? So, this is a song about touring around the country, in an album called, funnily enough, Internationalist. "Twenty-five in thirty days makes this one feel like home" - he's been moving around so much that wherever he is feels like home. "Why should I complain when everybody else is overworked and underpaid" - the creature comforts aren't the best, but it's pretty good compared to other jobs. "Days keep rolling over" - every day on tour feels just like the last. "Escape to the undercover" - he's becoming more and more famous, so he doesn't mind the shelter of his hotel room. "Soon it will all be over, and we can start again" - when the tour's finished they'll start songwriting again.

	I live in Adelaide too, Hindley Street is reagarded as the "druggie" part of the city. I would'nt know if it was the red light district, I have never been there at night. This could be in Adelaide, but I have never heard of a Todd Street in Adelaide. Add to that Hinley Street is nowhere near the ocean...

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#6 by Gary Rossington at Jun 6, 1982 at 7:19 PM EST
	Hehe, I always thought '25 in thirty days' meant that he was turning 25 in a months' time. Duh! I guess that shows how song lyrics can be interpreted differntly by everyone. :)

No Picture Jesus Professional	#7 by Jesus at Feb 14, 1983 at 12:32 AM EST
	I live in adelaide and hindley street is known as one of the dodgier parts of the city. although it's a bit suss, i think it has a certain culture and life to it. I love this song, the na na nas make it a great one for a drunken sing along with your friends

No Picture paste your name Average	#8 by paste your name here at Oct 6, 1985 at 8:07 PM EST
	i completely agree with Frog Man bout the touring thing Ps- Ruddy 'not everything revolves around adelaide'?? NOTHING revolves around adelaide- for the love of god let us have a lil glory, even if it is two words of a relatively unknown song lol

No Picture David Average	#9 by David Gilmour at Sep 18, 1986 at 4:36 PM EST
	haha anyone from adelaide sorta can understand this song - i mean hindley st after midnight is not a friendly place. but they have to settle for it - because 25 gigs in thirty days means any place is home. i love the end - soon it will all be over (the touring) and we can start again, again.

	Also, Powderfinger are a brisbane band why would they write a song about the red light district in Adelaide?

No Picture NICK Wanna Be	#13 by NICK COGHLAN at Aug 1, 2004 at 6:32 AM EST
	Hindley St is SO freaky. I hate walking down there, even in the middle of the day. I love the line: "Why should I complain when everybody else is overworked and underpaid"
