James Reyne - Reckless Lyrics
Meet me down by the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and spray
All the others reading standing
As the Manly ferry
Cuts it's way to Circular Quay
Hear the Captain blow his whistle
So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy
Way to start the day
She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour
So throw down your guns
Throw down your guns
Don't you be so
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic
Base camp to far away
A Russian sub beneath the Arctic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree

This version is lovely - almost better than the original - but I miss the drums, But you get the lyrics better.
Aussie GOLD
Classic Aussie Ballad.
As an American I learned about him from 800 Words. Great song.
Looks live from "Live on Chapel Street"? Vaguely remember seeing it on TV when it screened
John Kerr No, this is a Music Max gig shot in Melbourne (the signage tells you so)

+nixie NICLA you first
Masterpiece!
Masterpiece
Awesome. Still got it.
Live the life ive lived and ya under stand all his songs
This song makes me want to cry :'(
dont be so god damn reckless
Bill, Andy, Tom, Peter and lots more.....
Sends icy shivers up the spine, beautiful, ethereal, breathtaking. Mr Reyne take a bow.
Possibly the most quintessential Aussie rock classic there is. So beautiful, still makes me shed a tear.
It is a perfect piece of Sydney nostalgia
The lyrics make no sense whatsoever.
Stable Life
Only a fool or a yank would make that statement. What don't you understand about Manly Ferry and Circular Quay? What ,the reference to Burke and Wills and Scott of the Antarctic was too esoteric for you? Give me a break.
@Jim Alley Oh get a grip, you whiny baby. James Reyne has on many occasions said he couldn't explain the lyrics either.
awesome!
Such a great song! Love to see him live
This song was released the year I was born. Listened to it growing up & it still gives me goosebumps. Love it so much.
Throw down your guns, don't be so reckless.
Awesome song
17 years old and James Reyne is killer. Wanted to see him live but was 18+, shattered
Just saw him at Hampton safeway petrol station
it sucks all my mates have never heard this song O.o what is this world comming to
this is the best version of this killa song
the 3 that disliked this video must be jimmy barnes, farnham and meatloaf!
very droll, roger
roger dunn
Or trump supporters
GREEEEATTTT song....
saw him last night and still pretty good for an old fart. haha
the young guys you had supporting at DY were amazing and even with their sound turned down just blew us away.
You must hear his remastered version - its so very good - about 20 years old now but still rocks
iF YOU AN AUSSIE THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS...ITS A FUCKING CLASSIC
What a beautiful memory to have.xx
This man is brilliant! (*_*)
that '1 dislike', can jump off, the Manly Ferry...we don't like that kind of behaviour! lol
WHEN I WAS 10 YOU WERE MY IDOL AND KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK.......WISH YOU WOULD DO IT AGAIN NOW I'M 37!!!!!!!
