	Lyrics Seven Miles From Sydney K.Armitage I have lived and worked in Manly for many years and this is a snapshot of the ebb and flow of tourists and locals that make up this colourful beach lifestyle. The characters in this song are all real. The English Girl Comes Everyday And Lays Out On The Sand She’s Finally In Her Postcard Working On Her Tan Six Days Out Of London On A Single One Way Fare Now She’s Seven Miles From Sydney And A Thousand Miles From Care Lifeguard On The Waters edge With A Whistle On A String He’s Grown Proud Of The Yellow Flags That They Never Stay Between He Used To Make More Money In A Busy Downtown Square Now He’s Seven Miles From Sydney And A Thousand Miles From Care Seven Miles From Circular Quay The Ferry Rests And You Find Your Feet A Stones Throw From An Ocean Beach Where Seagulls Scream And Children Play Surfers Ride A Summers Day The City Seems A World Away A Bag-lady On A Wooden Bench She Loves Her Fish ‘N Chips One Or Two Are For Herself But The Birds Get The Rest She Keeps Laughing With Her Mother Even Though There’s No-One There Now She’s Seven Miles From Sydney And A Thousand Miles From Care The Café’s Do A Roaring Trade As Music From A Buskers Calling Fast Food That’s Ready Made As Honky Tonks The Corso Clown Picks His Puppets Up When The Kids Sit Down Near The Markets You Can’t Help But Walk Around Seven Miles From Circular Quay A Cool Breeze Runs Across Your Cheek Tall Pines With Lorikeets That Sing So Loud A Last Hurray When The Flags Come Down At The Close Of Day And The City Seems A World Away Seven Miles From Sydney And A Thousand Miles From Care
