    No one ever mentions this in the ‘greatest’ conversation. I don’t understand why. This f’n song is one of the greatest Australian songs ever written. After almost 30 years of listening to it, it still smashes me and hits with melancholy and joy all at once.

      oink ooink because music can be very much a subjective thing rather than a objective one. If old mate reckless no its one of the best rock songs ever written then he is perfectly valid in holding that opinion. Anyone who loved and still lives this band may well agree with him.

    This was just released when I moved to Australia, only got back to the USA a few years ago. I went to several U am I shows fortunately. One at the 'Alex' on the sunny coast way before it was demolished and became a bunch of units. Playing a few gigs at the blue bar there afterwards myself. My son earned his wings as a chef in the same spot, and now he's got his own restaurant in Dickey Beach 'Nicks pizza' memories are great from this area. Great times!

    Great to see this band are getting more exposure here on the 'tube. I was lucky enough to see them live a few times back in the late 90's - early 00's. Privileged is probably a better word than lucky. They were absolutely amazing live, no video or live recording of a live show can convey how much energy You Am I put out on stage. Even on a Wednesday night in front of uni students in Wagga.
    Some of the best times in my life.

      And they’ve gone from strength to strength. Better musically now than ever. Constantly evolving while remaining as stoic and loyal as ever to their long-term fan base. Tim will be producing music for another 20-30 plus years and it will still be brilliant. We ain’t seen the best of them yet… Rusty, Davey and Andy are machines. So damn good.

    Had a scratch only you could itch
    Underneath the Glebe Point Bridge
    And now every boy in a knitted vest
    Has got some precedent
    So we took a personality pill
    And something red to swill
    And now every fire has gone out
    in every heart that wanted to kill
    Let's call it a day
    Every thought that once had a sound
    We'll have to hide 'til no one is around
    'cause there ain't no room in the city today
    For explanations that you just can't say
    Found out what shame can mean
    In purple sneakers and grey jeans
    And every walked to a school that once made sense
    Sure felt like an accident
    Let's call it a day
    For every trouble you found
    There's a drink to lose it and drown
    But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?
    Every day that once had a sound
    We'll have to hide 'til no one is in town
    I don't hate I just feel better
    When no one else is around
    So we'll take a personality pill
    And something red to swill
    And now every fire has gone out
    i every heart that wanted to kill
    Let's call it a day
    For every trouble you found
    There's a drink to lose it and drown
    But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?
    You can shave a million ways
    To make damn sure that the twelve in you stays
    But do you need somebody, to feel somebody?

    7 months late, but the comment must be made. Nice to know the rest of the world now has access to these great tracks available to me back in the mid 90s in Australia when I was a teen. The truth is, things like this are everywhere, you just have to keep an year out and hate everything that sounds crap! But don't bag th US - these guys would have been nothing if they didn't play in the same festival as Sonic Youth, a US band. It was Lee Renaldo who heard them and decided to produce for them.
