He is a regular performer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Some of his efforts have been released on CD (Dave Hughes: Whatever), and on DVD (Dave Hughes Live, as well as his latest, Dave Hughes - Handy).
I think I might have met you before
I think it's time we settled a score
Buildings there they stretch so tall
Steel and brick no more, no more
Can't I make you see?
Too much history coming down
Another building brought to ground
Roads that come together, memory never severs
The love'll never sever for me
Can't I make you see?
Some cities crush
Some cities heal
Some cities laugh
While other cities steal
Can't I make you see?
Can't I make you see?
Can't I, can't I make you see?
Can't I make you see?
Some cities
Some cities crush
Some cities crush
