From the recording On a wire
Lyrics
Jordie Lane and Jordy Lane are two singers
With the same name
I went to see Jordy Lane but Jordie Lane was playing
A confusing situation
What a shame, one had to find a stage name.
One spelt with a ‘y’ and the other with an ‘ie’ but that
Couldn’t set them free
I don’t know how old they are or who’s mother thought
Of there name first
A Musicians curse
It would’ve left me broken hearted
Jordy Lane you poor bastard
Like the actor Joh Howard if John Howard was an actor
Some say that he was
Or like the musicians Ryan and Bryan Adams
One spelt with a ‘b’ one spelt with a silent ‘B’
What a shame one had to find a stage name.
So the one from Sydney Jordy Lane got a stage name
Called Shady Lane
But I don’t think he realised that Shady Lane
Is a tourist caravan park
Ah he’s done it again.
It would’ve left me broken hearted
Jordy Lane you poor bastard
If there was another singer named Tim Wooods
I’d have to call myself “Shit in the Woods”
