As I remember it was white stain but I think he did change it up for recovery. Man I miss this show! Was sitting on an island in Fiji last year and dylan sat down next to me at breakfast...is it shameful that after everything I still think of him as one of the few celebs worth meeting
truly one of australia's greatest EVER songwriters!!! Growing up listening to you am i has given myself and many others in my generation many great memories!!! Great stuff Tim!
Writing great songs only goes part of the way to explaining his brilliance - one of the greatest live performers from our fair country as well. Under-rated? He's just one of Australia's best kept secrets.
This is a great song, i must admit! But if you listen to it he hates singing it, and its a fuckn sad story. But thats why it makes it such a good song.
Been watching so much TV I'm thinner than I should be I'm like a waterlogged ball That no-one wants to kick around anymore An all day morning hair-do That no comb can get through It's all granola and beer A calling card and a silk cut souvenir I miss you like sleep And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep The morning's when it starts I don't look so sharp Now I got a heavy heart
I talk a lot about football And girls I kissed in Grade 4 I piss off my friends I'm digging a hole just staring at the floor Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain I'm loving cigarettes again I know every tune about guys and girls and hurts and hearts and moans I miss you like sleep And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep The morning's when it starts I don't look so good Now I've got a heavy heart
It's just a low rent paying, palpitating pulp inside my shirt But there's a weight that's sitting So hard oh God it hurts Oh God it hurts Been watching so much TV I'm thinner than I should be I'm like a waterlogged ball That no-one wants to kick around anymore I miss you like sleep And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep The morning when it starts Oh my heavy heart
Have never listened much to You Am I but I heard this song on the radio today and thought, geez, Tim Rogers is a bloody good songwriter! His lyrics are so honest, almost raw. Why the hell didn't I discover this sooner??
Saw him again on the weekend at Belvoir Amphitheatre ... I could hardly recognise one song that he played! I miss his work from the 90's and this is a great memory of Rogers at his best.
without doubt timbo you r one of australias best musos, look forward to seeing you live again, keep da aussie rock goen fucken gold mate, all in favor say i!
man I remember seeing this for the first time, it was the first time I'd heard the song, to me it was clearly superior to the studio version, cuts so deep
I first saw this in a hotel room in Sydney in '98, when I was visiting my girlfriend at the time, who was studying in Australia. She was lying on the bed beside me, the evening light from outside settling on her as she slept, and I had to keep the volume down while I flipped the channels, settling on the sight of this gangly singer backlit in salmon whose name didn't register with me, sharing these lines that put a stamp on the moment for me, and how I'd fel a few years later. Great nostalgia.
Thank you for this song Tim.
Whenever it all comes apart, I remember this song...
