  • Thank you for this song Tim.

    Whenever it all comes apart, I remember this song...

  • have you based you're image on steve marriott out of the small faces? dream on!

  • Tim, the only difference is that I'm ' "fatter than I should be" apart from that, I have adopted this as my current life motto... Cheers man....

  • 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

  • awesome

  • hmmm.. i thought it was every t-shirt has a white stain. too sexy for recovery??

    ~laughs~

  • @antiussentiment hmm, I always thought the lyric was "every tshirt has a WINE stain"... but I may be wrong...

  • tim rodgers is SOOOO underrated!!!

  • 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.

  • wow. even years later... wow. Thanks for the music Tim.

  • magic

  • its just ace

  • 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.

  • its so beautfiul and so ausatralian, go tim never stop writing songs

  • Living National Treasure

  • Tim Rogers has got to be one of Australias finest songwriters. Fucking awesome lyrics

  • awesome lyrics

  • 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
  • @Boweavel

    ahh, well done i spose

  • where's the enforcer?

  • Been watching so much TV, I'm thinner than I should be. I'm like a water-logged ball that no one wants to kick around anymore.

    I miss you like sleep. There's nothing romantic about the hours I keep. The morning's where it starts... oh, my heavy heart. :(

  • beautiful

  • lol you should hear.... me no good speak engrish

  • You should here, Please Don't ask me to smile. IT's magic.

  • 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??

  • This song is the truth. :)

  • holy fuck tim is clean shaven? awesome.

  • ha ha ha recovery god i miss that show

  • no one does it as well as you timmy, you are an aussie icon.

  • Gets me every single time. What a beautiful, honest song.

  • love the song! miss the show... this clip brings back massive memories

  • Tim Rogers is an aussie icon !!!

  • 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.

  • tim nows just how to say things

  • Saw you am i last Friday at metro Sydney, what a fukn gig, loved every second of it, TIm is the man.

  • tim rogers is god

  • 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

  • If i only say one piece of truth in my life then this is it, Every word of this song echos through me right now, and i miss her so damn much.

  • tim just captures the moments so well..

  • national treasure

  • i relate to that unzari dude, this takes me back in time to the girl i was seeing and all the happy and meloncholy and angry and funny, etc times.

  • 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.

  • what a brilliant song.

  • "I miss you like sleep."

    That's the line I love in it.

  • "like a water logged ball that noone wants to kick around anymore" - Brilliant!!!!

  • Good on ya, these guys rocked in Philly 03-23-07

  • Ace

  • thank-you so much for posting this. I love the warm feeling you get listening to this song,

    God bless you Tim Rogers
