Such a lovely song. His lyrics ALMOST make sense but they flow so beautifully that it doesn’t matter.

It's time we stop talking about Glenn Richards as only a "master lyricist" and acknowledge that he's also a master songwriter. This is great music. Augie March makes great music. They've been making great music for almost 2 decades. Yeah, stop the presses!

"somebody blew their brains out in this room, i can feel it like it happened just this afternoon, on a the wall behind some furniture there's a stain in the shape of africa, o fear walks tall when its half way up tge hill with its friend alcohol...." He is just a master lyricist, underated and amazing. he will go down in australian history as one of the best song writers.

Greatest song every written. Gets better every time I hear it.

Been trying to remember the name of this song and the band for years and years... Just came to my mind out of nowhere. Glad to have rediscovered. Excellent song and excellent video.

There's music and then there's this. Pure genius. Just one of Glen's masterpieces that evokes profound feelings of elation, pain and now nostalgia.

best video EVER

bless your work cherish your style

one of my favorite

This song is very underrated. I have tried to play it in guitar but lyrics are like rap, awesome song

Cool song I liked the solo

Well it's my very little wonder It's one that I will keep You can take it with you if it helps you when you're trying to sleep.... And the men who are a cut above today-are often not so very deep Young ladies of means will say "I am I am I am I am" Sitting on the edges of their seats on the light rail tram Amongst the could've beens the also rans It's very little wonder if you cry It's very little wonder you don't cry The birds were framed, the babies were framed And so to the black sky.... You can't hear the ready laughter in my song When I was laughing all day yesterday and all night long 'Til we shook off the fears That had us both in tears O brother don't clean out your ears and you might be amazed Find the secrets of the city in its alley ways In the bins behind the swill cafes Amidst the clean picked chicken bones and cartilage a spirit groans A small heartbeats and a red beak moans "O' pity! Where's my little body gone?" You know why, it's very little wonder you don't cry Don't be ashamed of a guilty little rain Don't be ashamed - it's just a drink, it's just a drink it's just a drink One marks a place one makes a time One stops a living one goes about a dying Somebody blew their brains out in this room I can feel it like it happened just this afternoon On the wall behind some furniture there's a stain in the shape of Africa Fear walks tall when it's halfway up the hill with its friend alcohol I can hear the heavy footsteps in its hollow halls Little wonder that he soon divides to rid them all in one great gushing fall A billion tiny devils feet which nightly walk that bloody beat Hi ho ho hum, get yourself a gun open up your heart let the bleeders run Hi ho ho hum, move the thing along open up your heart let the evening come Hi ho ho hum, get yourself a gun open up your heart let the bleeders run Hi ho ho hum, think about your Mum open up your heart let the evening come darkly in......

Glenn Richards is one of very few songwriters who's lyrics are actually worth reading. Thanks for this...
