Street Life

I still hang around...
Neither lost, nor found.
Hear the lonely sound,
of music in the night,
Nights are always bright...

Thats all thats left for me..

I play the street life,
Because there's no place I can go
Street life, And it's the only life I know
Street life, And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life, Until you play your life away

You let the people see
Just who you want to be
And every night you shine
just like a super star
That's how the life is played
A ten cent Masquerade
You dress, and walk, and talk
you're who you think you are...

Street life, You can run away from time
Street life, For a nickel, or a dime
Street life, But you better not get old
Street life, Or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale
A grown-up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
beneath the silver moon

Street life. Street life. Street life. Street life...

Free public transport. Efficient and fun.

More and more cities choose to provide some short of free public transport service. Just yesterday we went on a night trip on our own City Hopper. It is a free ferry service running every 30 minutes from early in the morning until midnight along the central part of the Brisbane river. All this time in Brisbane I hadn't had the chance to see the city from this point of view and I have to say that I found out that it is an amazing view. Especially passing under the Story Bridge with the lights on and looking at the high rise buildings in front, is one of the best views of the city.
