The Waifs Lyrics


In 1985, dad taught me how to play guitar. I was 15 years
old. He's a classic campfire style guitarist who can play
any song with 4 chords. He's also a fisherman. The first
song I ever learnt was Dylans, The times are a changing and
I was hooked.

My sister Vikki picked up the guitar in about 1988 . She
was 14 and playing, House of The Rising Sun. She was hooked.

Josh lived on a farm in New South Wales and picked up his
first guitar after seeing Michael J fox play Johnny be Good

    ------ About the song London Still performed by The Waifs

I relate to this song very well at the moment, except to the London part. I'm in France. I've been dreaming of it constantly for so, so long but now 'I dream of home and not of London (France) anymore'


fantastic song | Reviewer: kaitlyn
    ------ About the song Lighthouse performed by The Waifs

I love this song because it reminds me of being out in the windy ocean in the dark and a light gides you to where you are trying to go. I also am a huge fan of lighthouses because ive always thought they were cool inside when you look up and see all the swirly stairs and its such a wild song and I love wild music like lighthose man!


Bridal Train - Australian Women | Reviewer: Guy
    ------ About the song Bridal Train performed by The Waifs

I love this track. I play it over and over. My son has started singing it in the car with me. It captures an essence of the Australian character so perfectly but it also speaks to the universal experience of people displaced around the world; a commitment to love and an ideal but also of a gutsiness. And it speaks to loss and grief and the pain of life; that life comes at a cost to us all.

You guys remind me of the Triffids. Must be something about WA!


Amazing... | Reviewer: Lyla
    ------ About the song London Still performed by The Waifs

Such a beautiful song! Makes me think of the time I was stuck in London sans passport(lost it). I missed home when I was there but now I miss that city and the amazing people I met there...


eerie airport music | Reviewer: Yoko
    ------ About the song London Still performed by The Waifs

I burnt this song onto a CD for my flatmate before she moved to London 2 years ago. We'd lived together for 3 years and she became a big sister to me. She told me soon after she arrived in London that this song was playing in the airport as she waited for her flight to leave Australia and that the irony made her laugh and cry at the same time. Come home soon Beck!
