1990s - Live

Catherine smiled and took my hand
Said she could understand
What all the rules were here for
In this Datsun van, we gaffed together
At the top of the range in Toowoomba
Come back, all is forgiven

And in my dreams at night
I swear you were the one
From 1991
Man, this DJ's got me fallin' in love again forever
And I'm thinkin' about 'ya
By 1992
There was nothing I could do
Okay, okay, I think it's over

Kate came 'round to see Spring Hill
We talked about her father until
She asked me for a Vodka and Cola-ola-ola
And we stayed upstairs, just talkin' for an hour
And then she said, "I'll see you later"
I never saw her again

And in my dreams at night
I swear you were the one
From 1991
Man, this DJ's got me fallin' in love again forever
And I'm thinkin' about 'ya
By 1992
There was nothing I could do
Okay, okay, I think it's over

Oh, Catherine
All is forgiven
You call this living
On your own?
Oh, Catherine
All you've been given

In my dreams at night
I swear you were the one
From 1991
Man, this DJ's got me fallin' in love again forever
And I'm thinkin' about 'ya
By 1992
There was nothing I could do
Okay, okay, I think it's over

Now this part of the song, right
It was always supposed to be a sort of Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham sort of
Y'know, like, Tusk, Rumours
Fleetwood Mac, right? Sydney's a big Fleetwood Mac town
So that's why we wanna have that bit in here
But we just could never quite figure it out, but
There was gonna be two bits
This is the first bit, right
You know, one of those sort of Lindsey Buckingham things
Then- and then the second bit was the other chord

So, you know, you're gonna have to work with me here
You're gonna have to put it together in your mind
Like, we're not genie, we can't do everything
I can lay out how the song's supposed to sound
You gotta work with me
Y'know what I mean?
I don't- a lot of bands underestimate their audience by being really, really good musicians
We put you guys first
Speaking of putting you guys first, on the desk there is Mr. Henry over there
He's on the- it's not even a multicore, it's- it's um, a Cat5 Ethernet thing

But Henry, can you dial up some effects for me?
This is- this is- we're now in the future
Henry? Henry? Are we in the future, Henry?
We're in the future now
It's 2018, and everything's really different from 2017
In a lot of ways to the naked eye, it appears quite similar
But, just listen, listen to the orchestra of effects

It's like a cinema- cinema ad
Now somehow, okay, living in the future is all good and-
But you gotta get back into the song that you've just come out of
And that's the tricky bit
That's the part I don't have the answer to
I really don't have the answer to that
Okay, maybe the best way to get back into it is to stop
And then we just start, from the chorus
1, 2!

And in my dreams at night
I swear you were the one
From 1991
Man, this DJ's got me fallin' in love again forever
And I'm thinkin' about 'ya
By 1992
There was nothing I could do
Okay, okay, I think it's over

Look, when you're in the business of inventing dreams
You can't have all the answers, you can't have the endings
Y'know what I mean? But, look, you can go see any band, they can finish this song
Finishing's easy, you just stop
