i cant wait to listen to it. drowning in the fountain of youth was one of the best australian pop albums in recent times.

its been four years to long for a follow up.

[mansize rooster]

the highlight being the title track. it just rolls on so nicely. great bassline.
reminds me of elvis costell's - 'bedlam' funny,clever stuff

FELL ASLEEP ON A TRAM, HARRY POTTER IN HAND
I WOKE UP DROOLING IN THE SOUTH OF VIETNAM
WITH A CONTROVERSIAL HAIRCUT AND OVERSIZED HANDS
IN THE BACK OF A CAFE CALLED ‘MYSTERY TRAN’
I STARTED CYCLING BACKWARD DOWN THE TRIBUTARY
BY THE COCA COLA WATERS,UNDER INSTANT NOODLE TREES
TASTE POLICE GOT ME, THREW ME IN A CELL
LONG NIGHTS PLAYING CARDS WITH THE GUARDS AND SCHAPELLE*
TILL I MADE MY ESCAPE WITH A trans NAMED MARY
WE HITCHHIKED DOWN THE ROAD
OUR LEGS WERE ALL HAIRY!
SINGING ‘DOO DOO DOO, DOO, DOO, DOO ETC”
ME AND MARY TOOK A TRIP ON A BIPLANE, UP TO THE HIGH PLAINS
LIVIN ON CRUSKITS FISHED FROM THE MAIN DRAIN
KILLING TIME BY DERAILING COAL TRAINS
MADE THE CITY FOLKS ANGRY, THE COULDN’T HEAT THE WATER MAINS!
(HAD TO HAVE COLD SHOWERS, SHIVERIN’ FOR HOURS)
TIL THE AIR FORCES, GROUND FORCES, GREEN BERETS, MERCENARIES
COME DOWN UPON ME LIKE A SWARM OF ANGRY WORKER BEES
I JUMPED IN A FOXHOLE, COME UP IN NEW GUINEA
STOLE AN INDONESIAN GENERALS WATERPROOF HUMVEEE
THEN I CRUISED PAST JAPAN WITH THE TYPHOONS STINGING
UP TO ALASKA, THERE WERE ESKIMO GIRLS SINGING!
DOO DOO DOO, DOO DOO DOO ETC
STUMBLIN ROUND THE NORTH POLE, CHECKING ON MY MAP
IT WAS A POLAR BEARS TRAIL ON A PIECE OF FOOLSCAP
BUT THOSE DAMN CORPORATIONS SET ME A TRAP
A WHOLE POLAR ICE CAP MELTED ON MY LAP!
THEN I SURFED DOWN THE GULFSTREAM TO THE COAST OF CHILE
I WAS THE LAST THING SWIMMIN, THEY MADE A DOCUMENTAY!
I WENT TO THE PREMIERE AT THE LAST WORLD FAIR
SO MANY TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS THERE
RUB TWO IPODS TOGETHER MAKE A FIRE!
PUT CHICKEN WIRE IN FRONT OF YOUR CLOTHES DRYER!
RAISE DRY CHICKENS,
PUT EM OUT IN THE YARD TO COOK A WHILE!
SINGING DOO DOO DOO, DOO DOO DOO ETC
I BUSTED OUT SCREAMING, ADVERTISERS SCREAMING,
GROWN UPS AND CHILDREN LIKE REFUGEES TEEMING
NEON SIGNS SPRUIKING pr0n STARS REAMING
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD THE TRAM BRAKES SCREAMING,
THANK THE LORD, IT WAS JUST ANOTHER SONG WHERE THE GUY WAS ONLY DREAMING!
