Biography:
Skyhooks was an Australian rock band of the 1970s, sometimes classified as a glam rock band, although this is mainly the result of the band's flamboyant costumes and makeup.
The band shocked conservative middle Australia with their outrageous (for the time) costumes, lyrics, and on-stage activities, leading to seven of the ten tracks on their first album being banned from commercial radio. Much of the group's success derived from its distinctive repertoire, most of which was penned by bassist Macainsh.

WESTGATE LIGHT
By Skyhooks
Written by Greg Macainsh
VERSE 1
B
Sometimes when I'm driving
B
Driving all night long
B
My mind gets round to thinking
B
About the place that I belong
E
When I look into the river
F#
And see the water shining bright
CHORUS
B
In the Westgate light
B
In the Westgate light
VERSE 2
The steelyards and the factories
Standing in the rain
The empty streets and houses
This place will never change
When I get off that freeway
I know I'm gonna feel alright
CHORUS
In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light
In the Westgate light
BRIDGE
D
When I look out on this city
A
From way up on that bridge
D A E
I see a million diamonds shining in the night
D
There's a million people out there
A
Who don't even know my name
E
But I know that's where my friends are
A
So I'll love em just the same
SOLO
VERSE 3
I know that she'll be waiting
For me to come around
We'll listen to those foghorns moan
When I shut this motor down
We'll stand out on the balcony
And hold each other tight
CHORUS
In the Westgate light ..... (Repeat Until the end)
