Memorable Moments

"...James O'Hagan was a mate from school, he'd changed his name from Tim and he taught himself classical guitar. It blew us all away though he never seemed happy with it. Anyway, him, me and another mate from school [Shayne Artis] end up at LaTrobe Uni together. Tim's boarding on campus at Menzies College. We'd sit there and chuck around songs on our guitars, we'd party in our own odd way and entertain our mates and girlfriends. Room 360 South, it was immortalised in a take-off I did back then of the Redgum classic 'Only Nineteen'... God help us indeed, but we survived..."

That's All The Idea In The Rain Skies of My Mind State of Crime We Must Fight On Australian Dream You Could Be Wrong Running Red Moonlight in Chicago

They say the grass is greener over there, Over there well no-one's got no cares, Here everyone writes protest songs, Nothings right, everythings wrong. But I just don't know, Where to start, Cos I'm falling apart, You know it's breaking my heart. So society is evil and the government's corrupt, The movie's are all pornos where once they were about love, And the children in the streets try to solve the world's ills, With a syringe in the arm and a bottle of pills. But I just don't know, Where to start, Cos I'm falling apart, You know it's breaking my heart. Boring, boring, boring, You say that its all boring, But I've got news for you, I find you boring too. Some day I'll find my El Dorado, Some day I'll find my Utopia, Some day I'll find my Shangri-la, Some day I'll find the place where the grass is greenest of all But I just don't know, Where to start, Cos I'm falling apart, You know it's breaking my heart, You know I'm falling apart.
