The tribe has spoken (okay - if Fisho is a tribe ).
You know the drill - title and artist:
1. I don’t want you round here no more, don’t come knockin’, you won’t get past my door
Hey Little Boy - Divinyls
2. Walking in slow motion, like he’d just been hit
To Her Door - Paul Kelly
3. Just a touch of you, just a taste. Like kissing God is what we do
Hammerhead - James Reyne
4. ..and if your body touches me, I just don’t know what I might do
Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - The Models
5. Squinting at broad daylight, drumming up a conversation, Parsons brass is pealing, appealing, drumming up a congregation Man Overboard - Do Re Mi
6. The block is awkward, it faces west
Sounds Of Then - Gangajang
7. At least there’s pretty lights, and though there’s little variation, it nullifies the night
Overkill - Men At Work
8. When I’m halfway to heaven, with three parts of hell
That's When I Think Of You - 1927
9. I search for ways, to make a play. When it comes down to it, I run away
Lady What's Your Name - Swanee
10. We were sold out for silver, and a string of black pearls, on the loneliest island, at the edge of the world
Hold On To Me - The Black Sorrows
11. Reach for a star, and I’ll show you a plan
Lost In Love - Air Supply
12. We’re the last to leave the party, the first to ask for more
Boys Will Be Boys - Choirboys
13. I’m not asking for a love to last forever, I don’t expect to get a guarantee
14. From an ocean liner to a Chinese junk, there ain’t been a ship that can’t be sunk
Man On Your Mind - LRB
15. Like a bulldozer chasing butterflies, down sad English streets you wander
Turn A Blind Eye - Hunters and Collectors
16. Dad’s so bad he lives in the pub, its underarms and football clubs
Power and The Passion - Midnight Oil
17. I ran right out of beer, took a look into the larder
The Nips Are Getting Bigger - Mental As Anything
18. Where rainbows flash, as we’re walking in the sand
Touch of Paradise - John Farnham
19. I’m bleeding to death on a cloudless day, a three four heartbeat, a waltzing away
Counting The Beat - The Swingers
20. Prospect of reconciliation, memories of some funny conversation
Things Don't Seem - Australian Crawl
You know the drill - title and artist:
