    Damn, just look at Greg... Multitasking with the synth, vocoder and soprano sax. Phenomenal musician, I can truly understand why he was so devastated about how he was accused of plagiarism. One of my biggest musical heroes, rest in peace.

    In 1983 I moved from my hometown Milwaukee to New York City. The first years out in NYC were really hard, and the city was a lot more brutal than it is now.
    This song was constantly on the radio. I can't hear it without thinking of those years.
    "Time to walk the streets, smell the desperation."

    I think it's a beatiful one size fits all when it comes to mental illness.
    It's hard, and it doesn't get easier.
    I don't think the answers exist, but I think it's worth trying to find them.

    A lot of Australian music never made it to Ireland in the 70's/80's and even the 1990's we all thought Men at Work were a 1 hit wonder, around 1991 a friend of a friend returned from Australia and give me a cassette tape of Men at Work and I couldn't believe the quality of the music I was listening to they are a top band.
    Heard Midnight Oil for the first time in 1993 went to the music store to buy some of there albums and was told it had been discontinued in Ireland. Was able to pick up albums from both when on holiday.

    I can't get to sleep
    I think about the implication
    Of diving in too deep
    And possibly the complications
    Especially at night
    I worry over situations
    I know will be alright
    Perhaps it's just imagination
    Day after day it reappears
    Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
    Ghosts appear and fade away
    Alone between the sheets
    Only brings exasperation
    It's time to walk the streets
    Smell the desperation
