about

Written by Matt Campbell.

A song of the glory days in the late 80's and early 90's when being young and into music, had so much to offer a young man in the way of live music and fresh beer!

lyrics

Was a third hand rumour on a landline
in a corner telephone box
You gotta see this band , I'm tellin' ya man
It'so good let's get goin'

A public bar band in Melbourne town
Was never too hard to find
But all new to me and it gave me a thirst
For that once a week local and live

Was just like a beehive
Trains and trams would take so long
Three sets of tunes was never enough
So we'd roll up our thoughts
and fall in the dark
And run through the city to find
the last song
But it was never enough
No it was never enough

Catch you on the Sandringham line
7:55 express
A pot and a joke at The Corner at 8
Always just enough time
Loud speakers sat on the tables
The band just stood on the floor
I remember the smell & the taste of the beer
Was underage & willin"
Country electric slide guitar
To Waits and Young and their own
First set slow to me and one man
And the last to a hundred or more
