I frikken love this song. I remember my high school mate Raz had a vinyl copy of it, and I just thought it was weird and uneasy... now I love it to pieces. Way ahead of it's time. It's like the mentally disturbed sibling of INXS's Just Keep Walking...

this song is just way too good - sean kelly's strangled vocals and off-centre lyrics, and truly unique riffs - never been as good since - wish i could teleport back to early 80's melbourne and see them live in some dive in st kilda

Thanks for posting the vid. Haven't seen this in years, it's one of my all time favourite Models songs. Best album too. Graham

At the time this track was released, the Australian art rock scene was at its peak and it has never been as good as this since.

The staff at St Vinnies sing this on a saturday night. This is a very clever song. Thanks for the upload.

Would have been around this time I saw them at festival hall before the Police.

Always worth it.
