Biography:
Australian new wave band Icehouse was formed in 1977, initially called 'Flowers', by Iva Davies (born Ivor Arthur Davies, on 22 May 1955, in Wauchope, New South Wales, Australia). Inspired by art rock and avant-garde pop, Davies was the main creative force behind the band, being a classically trained musician. Band member Keith Welsh joined him on bass. For a number of years they also obtained the services of Bob Kretschmer, until he was replaced by young guitarist Paul Gildea.

[Intro]
Dm7 F Bb
[Verse]
Dm7 F
There's a noise upstairs in the attic,
Dm7 Bb
It's the shuffle of worn out shoes.
Dm7 F
And the scent of the oil and brushes,
Dm7 Bb
Drifts down like a pale perfume.
[Chorus]

And he says, "I...

I am a man

A Simple man,

See through the years

Dm7 Bb
Takes a moment to watch the view.

He can see the empty street below.

He says, "I keep my life in this paintbox
Dm7 Bb
I keep your face in these picture frames

When I speak to the empty canvas... It tells me...

I have no need for words anyway... "
