All the Lovely Lyrics from Ball Park Music at the Tivoli

Brisbane, Australia

The dreamy guitars were finally back in town. Ball Park Music brought their distinctive South East sound to the sold out, Tivoli. Lead vocalist and guitarist, Sam Cromack approached the mic with gratitude for ‘The Rock ’n’ Roll Adventure Continues’ Tour named after something their late tour manager Greg used to say when things got rough on the road.

There were so many great songs and Cromack dedicated one to Brisbane fans from the South, another to the North, the East and the West. The audience sung all the nostalgic lyrics

Here are my absolute favourites:

Stars in my Eyes came out early and time washed over me. When you plan your life out you don’t typically include setbacks, but you recalibrate.

I’m starting to wonder, was it all a lie? Was there ever a time I had stars in my eyes?

It’s Nice to be Alive could save somebody and the whole room sang it word for word. Keep it in your back pocket for when you need it.

We dropped down from some other dimension just to be with you

Don’t stress That’s dumb I’m here And it’s nice to be alive

Ball Park Music, 2011, It’s Nice to be Alive, Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs

For the bands most recent hit, Please Don’t Move to Melbourne, Cromack shared that the Melbourne audiences were apparently pretty pleased with themselves, but he reminded Brisbane that it was in fact our song.

Please don’t move to Melbourne Please don’t leave me standing here In the hot, hot sun Wondering if I did something wrong Wondering if I should tell someone I just want you home

Ball Park Music, 2025, Please Don’t Move to Melbourne, Like Love
