Died Pretty - D.C.

D.C. your smile has left it's mark upon my world, and
Even your barbs were like cut diamonds that you hurled, our
Disgust and drunkenness came much to their surprise, as
We roared and danced and sang with amber-clouded eyes, now

D.C. you gave me happiness and hobnob days and I will
Cherish them forever and when I get the blues and greys

D.C. you raised some backs up by the things you said, and
You stood your ground while weaker ones just turned and fled, but
When it came time to count your foes amongst your friends, well
There was respect and so much love that never ends, 'cos

D.C. you gave them happiness and hobnob days and they will
Cherish them forever and when they get the blues and greys

But now you're gone, it's such a sad thing, and as we dissolve into dark
Behind these questions are these answers and this song's to say goodbye

D.C. you gave them happiness and hobnob days and they will
Cherish them forever and when they get the blues and greys
But now you're gone, it's such a sad thing, and as we dissolve into dark
Behind these questions are these answers and this song's to say goodbye

This is just to say goodbye

Does it get any better than this? Corporate radio automatons steadfastly ignored stunning,unique Australian alternative music from the likes of Died Pretty,The Triffids and Go-betweens while Savage Garden was played on monotonous rotation...makes you want to weep for what might have been.

We shall see, we shall see:

Did you buy these for me?

We’ll be walking and talking

Till we get them to the sea.

Baby. Whatever. Ooo Ooo :D

[hinteregions]

but shit Ronald, I am tired of pleading to your website only to have full knowledge of the words in 'Ambergris' - what the fuck Needs Must Have here?? Brother, you are a total cunt to wave at the sea like that when I want you to frigging point.

I'm Australian. I've got something to say. Died Pretty is the unacknowledged 'seminal' band, the best my so-called 'nation' has ever 'produced'.This special record is a marvel containing many marvels, a pinnacle of music - that Mozart would have delighted in for it's fine walk upon the tightrope of art beneath which the precipice of sentiment or pretence, and that the profundity of which I can hardly imagine Beethoven scowling at. Not for nothing do they quote W.B. Yeats; they rightly can.

Doughboy Hollow... an amazing album by an amazing band... I remember having the cassette in my car, never listening to the radio, just to Died Pretty... knew all the words to all the songs...Sweetheart was my favourite...

That was 20yrs ago and I still lament that as a nation who appreciates good music let these guys fade away......

*sigh*

Awesome band... awesome song !!

Wonderful song and a quality audio upload. But it has a great fun clip. Sadly whenever someone uploads it, their record company pulls it off. grr :(

[123rorke]

still as good as it always was. Another failure to recognise our true talents!
