about

A song about the first place I remember living. A few blocks from Erica Street, running off Grevillea Road, there's a series of 6 consecutive streets named for the towns and cities of the great historic schools of England and the United States. Town planners get the wall when the revolution comes.

lyrics

Let these streets
The ones named for better cities
Stretch away to a restrained infinity
And fill your lungs
Until they're red and sticky
With the fumes from the McCain's factory

And die
Die in Wendouree, die
Die in Wendouree

Scratch the surface
And cause the houses no-one knows about
To rise up from the dirt
Stand on the corner and grow to full size
In your faded Whitesnake t-shirt

And die
Die in Wendouree, die
Die in Wendouree, die
Die in Wendouree

about

flood queen Melbourne, Australia

Flood Queen was raised to believe that facile mimicry was the same thing as mastery. She knows the shape of two or three kinds of pop songs, and can convincingly reproduce them with something almost approaching confidence, if not quality or value.
