Biography:
Stu Larsen is an Australian singer-songwriter
At one point Larsen has no fixed address, no job, few possessions and little money - just a lot of generous friends who seem to let him sleep on their floor or couch, or in their spare room as he ventures onward. He appeared to be on a journey of sorts, perhaps searching for something greater than can be found in one’s own backyard. He spent time exploring & wandering all over the world. Through Australia

[Verse 1]
D G/B G/C
I'm wandering these city streets
D G/B G/C
There's nothing here for me
D G/B G/C
All I see is people running round
D G/B G/C
Buying shit they don't need
D G/B G/C
There's a man begging down on King Street
D G/B G/C
And he grabs me by the wrist
D G/B G/C
He says 'Son, you know what the biggest killer in this world is?'
D G/B G/C
It's not money, not drugs, not guns
D G/B G/C
He said it's loneliness
D G/B G/C
And it's killing me
D G/B G/C
Oh this loneliness
D G/B G/C
It's bringing me down
[Chorus 1]
Am7
And he'll sleep where the darkness falls
C
He won't get no curtain calls
G D
And he's only got one pair of shoes
Am7
But he's got more serenity
C
Than the rest of humanity
G D
They've been tricked into waiting in queues
Am7
And his father is dying
C
He's got something inside of him
G D
It makes him feel more wrong than right
Am7
And his mother'd be lying
C
If she said she weren't crying
G D
Herself to sleep every night..
D G/B G/C
Every night

He wanders in to a church with it's doors wide open

D G/B G/C
Old man says 'What about this loneliness?'
