   I'm a 28 year old Australian and I discovered songs like Peg, Reelin, My Old   
   School and Hey 19, I would then go onto bit by bit become acquainted with   
   their whole catalogue, every album uniquely brilliant, I only discovered two   
   against nature two months    
   ago and find it astounding how good this album is despite the long gap between   
   producing records.    
      
   Some of my lines:    
   "I'm a bookkeeper's son, I dont wanna shoot know one".    
   "Tonight when I chase the dragon, the water may change to cherry wine, and the   
   silver will turn to gold".    
   "You call me a fool, you say it's a crazy scheme, well this ones for real I   
   already bought the dream".    
   "We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance".    
   "That right wing hooey sure stunk up the joint".    
   "shining your japan, sparkling your china".    
   "With nothing to do but feed on a kangaroo".    
   "he's gotta scar across his face, he wears a hearing aide".    
   "it's your favourite foreign movie".    
   "I never knew you were a roller skater".
