about

Ode to the vibrant music scene that briefly flourished downstairs at Time Machine Records and Collectables Nambour.
A few years of wonderful Sunday afternoon alternate music.
In a town not renowned for embracing alternatives.
1987 an arsonist set fire to 4 churches and a Christian Literature centre in the town. Another news worthy story, a body was found in shopping trolley dumped in a drain. Killed by flatmates for playing Limp Biskit record on the new stereo.

Capital of Psycho Tropics.

lyrics

Now he wheels have turned you
far away from home
from the womb of the samp crawls
thoughts into your mind
and that barbed wire crown
sinking down
a lobster pot
of sacred burleigh
and the bait has lured you
far too far from home

Up the gorgeous river
paddled into viet namboring
captial of psycho tropics
condfusion now begins
Bands were playing sweet
inside the Time Machine
smashed up songs
from a beautiful frightenerd dream
smashed up songs
from a beautiful frightenerd dream

How the siren sighs all bosom and thighs
you bound to the mast of reason
That barbed heart bait means you will not wait
no immaculate mating season
in a pink nudie suit
you spill your fruit
on flowers and satin and shit
till you latch your claws
and suckle the blessed tit
