How much talent was there in the Aussie music scene in the late 90s early 2000s Skunkhour were at the top of the heap but never got the recognition they deserved. Amazing song amazing band

I keep coming back to this song, and let me tell you, it ages like fine wine.

2024 and I'm still coming back.

Another song would have never heard and enjoyed without Triple J.

Glorious.... Australian music what happened.😭

Never got the credit for a brilliant song. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

Wow been so long, time for a reunion.and 9-5 is still the doctrine

I first heard this song on a borrowed ‘walkman’ while bouncing around in the back of a bus somewhere in Thailand in the late 20th century. Loved it then, love it now.

there's something about aussie music that comforts the soul

Such an underrated song - and band. Love these lyrics...really hit home.. "Broken free...almost Prettier than that butterfly i watch you head off through this night sky The thought of you lingers like the smoke that's drifting from my fingers While I sit, i see, there's a tree outside my room My face reflected in the pain of this moon Outside the cold rain cleanses my soul Whole, the distance between the rooms of my thoughts of us all Sitting in that room sometimes i get to thinking about myself Love, where does it come from? For days on end i would plead to the moon Where can i find someone to strip my flesh back bare to where the word begins Strip my flesh back bare to the wind that violates my skin Washing away, under the sun, I vanish in the street heat Melting on tar, lost in a wave of cut-throat urban values Looking for some, getting too few, breathing fumes and pipe-dreams Sliding, Holding... We're up to our necks in it We're up to our necks in it Walking the streets of this big shitty gritty city On a day when i feel like I'm living too close to the big electric light bulb in the sky Shy, the rats with wings mingle about my feet When i come to meet a man, a forsaken man He is alone, he has no home, no family here No brother, no mother, no sister, no other He cries to me, he is tired Where does he send his message? To what, to whom, to why, to where does he send it? What force is going to mend it? If we wished we could help this man and our backs would not break But hypocrisy only leaves us constantly bended He wishes to end it"

The progress that eats the soul of the past Demolished, lost and rebuilt Dehumanised, regimented When nine-to-five's the doctrine Give me the sky red behind the grey Buildings framed in a sunset I'm Sliding, holding We're up to our necks in it We're up to our necks in it -------------------------------------------- .... It was important to fill in those missing lyrics. With pleasure, Linda.

Lads, wherever you are, I hope you are happy. Memories of the Harbourside Brasserie still stand out 🔥🖖

Absolutely.... lyrically, it’s probably one of the most underrated tracks ever.

This song will continue to last the test of time. Thank you for uploading.

One of the coolest songs ever made... This blew me away when I was just 11 years old!

Wow. That takes me back.

This takes me back to the glorious 90s.

beautiful, thought provoking, deepfelt song. I had forgotten about it. Brings back great memories of the 90's.

Just came here to say that I love when Spotify's algorithm pulls gems like this on my “Discover Weekly” playlist, just listened to it for the first time and can’t get enough already!

My Bass playing was taught by the greatness in this band! Thank you Dean Sutherland! DL. X

Thank us down under for this obscure band.

Under-rated.

Heard kick in the door recently and reminded me of how I used to listen to skunkhour a lifetime ago

Sheer poetry on the human condition. This song should be a number one seller everywhere.

We sure are up to our necks in it. Cool, funky music - I miss this talented group...
