Holy shit, memory unlocked. I don't know if I'm deliriously happy to hear this again or absolutely devastated by the nebulous sense of loss I often get when I finally re-find these pieces of myself. Both, I think. All at once. I've been looking for this without remembering what it was for so many years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey Pete, any chance of updating the Spotify albums so it includes this song and century collapsing? really loved your work when I was younger and have refound it and am back in love and want to share with my children.
i aways thought this was a female lead singer but now i dont know ...obviously the drummer is a balding male and the base player is female but im not sure of the lead singer but anyway i would like the words to this song.....its a timeless song for the ages
Enjoy: So all your letters she read and made a scene at the restaurant, she usually just reads between the lines. Suspicion Bells, She read the lines themselves, and I just sat there soaked in cheap red wine. Could we rehearse that one more time. Forgot almost every single line. I don't know why x2 You gotta know I know you I gotta right x2 I gotta know who owns you Say what you mean x2 Not just what you think sells I hear them ring x2 I hear the distant knells, of suspicion bells. With futile hopes I glean from a colour TV screen, I wait for fame and fortune to arrive. But I'm falling face down, waving at the stars that drive by, sucking on cigarettes soaked in cheap red wine. These things aren't that hard to find. It's just that I've wasted so much time. (chorus)
does anyone know where i can buy these albums? i found one on amazon one time but the price was like around $80. I have their Lovers ep... wish i had their other material

Roadrunner destroyed them, like they did everything else they touched n Australia / beautifully crafted songs waaaay ahead of their time, never given a proper chance .
Brilliant song!. I remember hearing it on Triple J quite often back in 1998. I've often listened to it since. Hopefully it'll appear on Spotify soon.
All these years later and these tracks are still amazing. They hurtle me back to a time when things were both easier and more intense. Thank you
Perfectly said.

I don't know why x2
You gotta know I know you
I gotta right x2
I gotta know who owns you
Say what you mean x2
Not just what you think sells
I hear them ring x2
I hear the distant knells,

I must believe that Peter is one of the Perth atoms that made me fall in love with W.A.!
Peter, I've been chasing an mp3 of this song for forever. I can't find it on iTunes, where can I buy it?
I don't know why - but I'll find out and get back to you :)
I have the CD single
G Browne Excellent! Hope you enjoy :)
I might be 5 years too late here haha, but I have the MP3 of this and "I give in" - drop me a message if you still want it

Still great Peter.....should have been huge.....maybe born the the wrong country.....the UK was calling.
I thought that a few times. Luck of the draw. Thank you anyway :)
Sort of like I always thought Drain S.T.H.'s lead singer was a man till I learned "he" was in an all-girl band. hehe
