Send "The Frankston Line" Ringtone to Cell

The day is grey, don't love you anymore
The sun smiles on the red tiles, I don't love you anymore
The Frankston Line's full of teenage crime
And the cops can't do no more
Hooded topes, cigarettes at stops, I don't love you anymore

I'll leave you, I won't leave you
The sea's so beautiful

The council plans for seaside plans mean beauty writ of law
Views of seas in legalese, I don't love you anymore

I searched through your house for my skin
We end to begin
The sea dog will say it's alright
We'll be alright

Send "The Frankston Line" Ringtone to Cell

    Song Meaning:i personally think that the "you" is frankston itself. he's talking about the crime and how terrible frankston has gotten and this is why he don't love frankston anymore. this is why he'd like to leave frankston forever, but then he thinks of the sea which makes leaving so hard due to its beauty.
    what he loved initially was the former frankston, which has turned to this awful new frankston. but he can't leave anyway. it's still frankston, even if it's not the same frankston.

    General Comment:-_-

    The Frankston is not "bad" till you get, maybe, past mentone..
    It isn't that bad, the first 15 or so stops from the city are good suburbs.

    It sounds like nonsense/babble that must make sense in some way...

    General Comment:Hah I live in Frankston and the lines
    "The Frankston Line's full of teenage crime
    And the cops can't do no more
    Hooded topes, cigarettes at stops" Are pretty much true. Catching a Frankston train is the scariest thing someone could do.
    Awesome song tho!

    General Comment:i come from frankston!...well nearby anyway, itsl ike the next town (and here towns arent far away, its not like country or anything) just for the record, frankston is full of crime, its probably one of the most crime ridden places in the state (Victoria) other than innercity areas of Melbourne (there ya go, a lesson ont he crime rate of part of Australia, isnt anyone reading this lucky!)

    As for the song, well i think it may be leaving home, like a person who cared deeply about where their roots lay, but now are uprooting and leaving, even though they may not want to...just my opinion
