Thanks for uploading this! I've been using it to try and get people interested in the Triffids. Great song, and it also gets bonus points for being one of the few songs to ever mention Coffs Harbour in the lyrics, that being where the 'Park Beach Motel' actually is.
@HeadlandRoad For sure... but the Triffids did play a gig at the Coffs one in early 1985, so its very possible that that was the one McComb had in mind.
Its an excellent album , my third favorite record of all time ... its the greatest movie never made ... the way the songs hold together to tell a cohesive story , plus the fact its a great alternative rock album with first rate songwriting .
Its such a tragedy that The go betweens and The Triffids never made it big with Grant and Daid living to see the global recognition they deserved .....
the best song of the album,...still fresh in 2012

This song will play at my funeral. As a complete work or art, possibly the best album ever.

@ShaneSamsa I suspect there may be more than one Park Beach Motel.

Since you have been my You Tube heroe so far,could you maybe place:"Nothing can take your place" here as well?
I would forever be in your debt.

Not many of us Triffids fans left. They were my favourite band at uni.
