“Knifey” is an anthem to the ongoing fear of being alone on the street at night that exists amongst young women and non-binary people across Melbourne and Australia.
There have been several high-profile attacks on women who have been returning home from a night out across the city. This includes th...
[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please stop fucking me up
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how I get home nicely
I turn around and backtrack
Because I ain't that tough
But you still fuck me up
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to walk in the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please stop fucking me up
[Verse 2]
Nothing more important to me than just living
I'd rather be alive and well than lockеd up in prison
I turn around and backtrack
Because I ain't that tough
I'm a sick, demеnted monster
With my hands around your throat
My knees inside of your guts
I turn around and backtrack
Because I ain't that tough
But you still fuck me up
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please stop fucking me up
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how we get home nicely
Please, 'cause you've been fucking with us
And now we're fucking tough
[Verse 3]
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river after dark
Please, because I ain't that tough
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how I get home nightly
I turn around and backtrack
Because I ain't that tough
But you still fuck with us
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please stop fucking with us
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how I get home nicely
Please, 'cause you've been fucking with us
And now we'll fuck you up
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how we get home nicely
Please, 'cause you've been fucking with us
'Cause we're just not that tough

Amy Taylor:
It’s about my experience—and I’m sure lots of other people’s experience—of feeling safe to walk home at night. The world’s different for people like me and chicks and stuff: You can carry a weapon and if somebody does something awful and you react, it comes back to you. I remember when...
