Double Post: Old But Good

Ordinarily I like to leave a blog post -- even a trifling link to a music video -- up for at least a day before I post another.

But please listen to a fine song by one of the best Australian/New-Zealander bands of the 1970s/1980s. And at the end of it all, please accept it as more than a bit of clue:
"Night Owl" by "Little River Band":


There's a bar right across the street
He's got a need he just can't beat
Out on the floor
He shuffles his feet away

He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine
He's gonna win her every time
He knows he will, he's dressed to kill
He's a night owl

Move on,
There's the heart of a night owl calling
To belong
She's crying in the night
Be strong
Find the heart of a night owl falling
Stay up till dawn
Until the night is gone

What will become of the restless kind
Where do they go when they've done their time
Wearing their hearts out on the line
For all to see

Must be the gypsy in their soul
They have a need to rock and roll
They always will, they're out there still
They're the night owls

Move on,
There's the heart of a night owl calling
To belong
She's crying in the night
Be strong
Find the heart of a night owl falling
Stay up till dawn
Until the night has gone

Move on
There's a heart of a night owl calling
To belong
She's crying in the night
(the night, the lonely night)
Be strong
Find the heart of a night owl falling
Stay up till dawn
Until the night has gone
