about

From the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Adelaide 2013. Electric band recording. The full mistLY on board. Graney, Moore, Perera and Thomas. Song originally released in 1998 on “the Dave Graney Show” cd for Festival. On that album it was all instruments by Graney and Moore. Here the song is blown up full and funky by Stu Thomas’s bass and Pereras guitar.

lyrics

grey, listless feeling of dread
wide open sea
no drums on the riverbank
no wind on the water
the light comes up
the light goes down
compass needle slippin' stupidly about
what kind of country is this?
the weak are punished for their lack of power
like in that movie, "the incredible shrinking man"
must've driven my powerboat through a lurid , yellow mist
now I look up at the monstrous furniture
how long have we been in this country?
how long has this been happening?
where was the border?
where was the coast?
for every reaction there is a reaction
for every effect there is an effect
for every response there is a response
for every injury there is an insult
have we been lucky?
how long have we been in this country?
how long has this been happening?
when did we become strangers?
when did we cross a border?
what were we thinking all those years ago?
