Its often said round these parts if you dare to escape the southern cities and take the 4000km road trip north up the East Coast of Australia, once you pass over the Tropic of Capricorn you go crazy, or at the very least never come back the same.

Got the UK boys on the guitars for this middle-of-the-roadtrip song ; Jav on the open tuned acoustic rhythm guitar and unreal dm doing the Mark Knopfler style lead breaks.

“Capricorn Heat”

Driving the sun
in my eyes
yellowline fever
… it is rolling by…

Trouble on the streets
and I’m leaving a lie
I caught a dream weaver
as it fell from the sky

Capricorn heat
in my sights
take or leave it
say goodbye to city lights
“just give me a life
with no problems I want to know”
My hand on the wheel
‘cause here I go…

I’m heading north
I’m on the highwire again
but I hope
that I will see you again
I’m on my own
and thats the way it has to stay
I can’t come home
while freedom rules my heart again

Capricorn heat…

Tropical heat
(warms my soul)
I’ll swap it out neat
for the rain and the wind and the snow
sunny days deep
‘til I’m old
promise I’ll keep
your number in my phone

I’m heading north
I’m on the highwire again
I only hope
that I will see your face again
I’m on my own
and thats the way it has to stay
I can’t come home
this freedom rules my heart again

I’m heading north
I’m on the highwire again
I only hope
that I will see your face again
I’m on my own
and thats the way it has to stay
I can’t come home
this freedom rules my heart again

Capricorn heat
(I’m heading north)
Capricorn heat
(I’m on my own)
Capricorn heat

(promise I’ll keep your number in my phone)

Capricorn heat
