I've known Nick for a few decades now and he is a super talented singer/songwriter. This is typical of Nick's humor, honest and funny but always truthful. This song probably describes thousands of people walking around today. Long Live the Love Mechanic!
I used to see Nick Barker live at Melbourne pubs in the early 90s. He's even better live which is the test of a great musician ! Great to find this song on youtube thanks !
I was scarred nicely by Nick when I saw him and the Reptiles with Johnny and the Injectors on the Gold Coast Summertime Blues Tour late 80s, very happy crowd from what I recall before forgetting the rest lol
Weirdest thing ever is that this clip was made over a decade before 'Breaking Bad', but the guy who is the time bomb in the clip could totally be Walter White....
The song's actually quite creepy when you listen to the lyrics. I don't think you could get away with writing a song like this today though it is good.
Raw, simple, honest, and one of Triple J's heyday finest!
Love this song.

Most frightening song ever written
Best song ... most splendid artist !

The clip, the styling and even the words seems very contemporary to me despite this being 25 years old.
A woefully under recognised musician....
