An absolute masterpiece. The drumming is mesmerising and Grant McLennan’s lyrics are a dream. I love this band Sam. It’s incredible to think they couldn’t crack their home market... obsessed with the pub rock sound at the time. My favourite of theirs is Streets of Your Town. For me it was about feeling alienated but it was a love song for Amanda in the band.
I hadn’t made the connection before but the other best Australian song ever also begins with a spoken 1 2 3 4
An epic tale of heartache and loss, music that captures the curve of the earth and a sky that never ends. Both singer songwriters dead early from heart disease... perhaps distilling too much of their own into their words.

One seventies track on the thread is unfortunate. Two in a row is downright careless.

You know the 80s start with an 8, right?
At least try, mate.

Another Strayan act, and proof that one can have a dismal haircut and a head like a robber's dog yet still achieve a modicum of local success. I saw R. Clapton and band quite a few times and they led with this track a few times.
Not 80s Harvey. Good song though 
This is more '80s than that."One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (or "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer") is a blues song written by Rudy Toombs and recorded by Amos Milburn in 1953. It is one of several drinking songs recorded by Milburn in the early 1950s that placed in the top ten of the Billboard R&B chart.[1] Other artists released popular recordings of the song, including John Lee Hooker in 1966 and George Thorogood in 1977.
