about

True(ish) story of a Riff Raiders fan who left a vinyl copy of their first album on a train, and the awesome efforts young Sammy J went to to get it back to him. Yeah, she's doin' it right!

lyrics

I know this friend of mine
Left a special record on the Frankston Line
Like anyone, he’d be losing his mind

Along comes Samantha Jones
Sees it lying there So she took it home
Not everyone would be so kind

I know I’m not alone
I just wanna be like Samantha Jones
A sister from another mister
Who’s doin' alright

Take care Samantha Jones
Gotta make sure that we get her home
A sister from another mister
Who’s doin’ it right'
Yeah, she's doin' it right.

She knows you’re kinda lonesome
Lookin for someone that isn’t broken
Like anyone who can’t make up their mind

You know she’s got the answers
Makin the most of second chances
Like Anyone, she won’t be left behind

I know I’m not alone
I just wanna be like Samantha Jones
A sister from another mister
Who’s doin' alright

Take care Samantha Jones
Gotta make sure that we get her home
A sister from another mister
Who’s doin’ it right'


And now you’re getting older
Time is tapping on your shoulder
Keeping all your demons trapped inside
And if she talks to you, Samantha Jones will get you through
That empty kind of feeling you can’t hide

I got this friend of mine
Met a special someone now he’s doing fine
Like anyone who won’t be left behind


I know I’m not alone
I just wanna be like Samantha Jones
A sister from another mister
Who’s doin' alright

Take care Samantha Jones
Gotta make sure that we get her home
A sister from another mister
Who’s doin’ it right'
Yeah, she's doin' it right!
