Born Sandy Devotional, 1986.

A red scarf that she wore, a rinse in her hair,

a blister, an undersized shoe, her name on a tag

that can't be washed off, a place at a table for two

I think she wore red, I believe she wore black, any colour

you can mention except blue -- any number of colours

under the sun I won't be revealing to you

I can tell you it's final, I know its concluded, I tell

you for certain were through. I can give you the names

and the places and the dates, but what could it mean

to someone like you?

So don't come and visit, don't tell me no joke, don't ask

me no how does it go, for it goes as fast as a

chicken w/no head, and lord time goes by so slow

Some secrets of love you take to your bed and there's

some that you take to your grave. Well I took mine

to a new address, where I took my rest, at the end

of the day

Now all of my stuff is spread out on the floor, an

unmade bed, a drink or two, and I'm packing and

unpacking personal things that fail to remind me of you

You can rub it off, you can scrape it off

You can rub it off, you can scrape it off

You can drink it off, you can burn it off

Why would you want to compare them in the first place?Just because they,re Aussies?I know for a fact that there is a great deal of respect and friendship between the 2 bands,just look at the bandmembers.I dont see how either could(and more importantly should)be better then the other!Here you have two bands that influenced and inspired a complete generation.I for one am simply thankful.They rescued me in a lot of ways.

@hildaatje For your information, hildaatje, ScottAln05 said this song reminded him "remotely" of "People Are Strange" by the Doors. His opinion is just as valid as yours or mine. By bringing up Ira Robbins quote, I wasn't trying to say you were wrong. All I was trying to do is explain how someone drew a connection between the Triffids and the Doors years ago. I never said I agreed with Robbins. However, the beginning of this song does have a Ray Manzarek touch to it, don't you think?

@johnnysako07 Took you a while to dig that up!(lol) And since when does a critics point of view make do a fact?I am a critic in my own right and I still don,t agree.......sorry. Is MY opinion! But that beautiful deep melodic voice.....David;Nothing can take your place. Thanx for the tip on the book,will definately check it out.

@hildaatje For your information, in the fourth edition of the Trouser Press (1991), Ira Robbins states, "Singer/songwriter David McComb's voice bears similarity to both [Tom] Verlaine [of Television] and Jim Morrison." I'd love to take credit for saying this originally but I can't. By the way, if your looking for a good book covering alternative music from 70's-90's, check out the Trouser Press Record Guide.

Huh? Who said that?They sound nothing alike! Never heard that before.You just made it up to make a point right? You silly you..... I do understand the comment by Scott,even if I had never thought of it before.There is a certain parallel,mainly due to the piano. And I also prefer David any time of the day/week/month. P.S.;year......

Now, now, let's not hate. Many critics from the '80's did compare David's vocals to the late Jim Morrison.

Reminds me remotely of People Are Strange by the Doors.
