    Reminds me of 2001 sitting in kings park hearing triple j while waiting for the outdoor cinema to open.
    Drinking passion pop and cheap pizza. While smoking a pack of winnie blues. Memories

      Yeah back when Triple J was actually pretty awesome. Shame that it has become what it is now; I'm not referring so much to the music, but the hosts are as irritating as those on commercial stations. It's as if it is the fatted calf is almost at the end of its life, awaiting slaughter -- which is privatization of course.

      Tony Fantasia It's still awesome, it's actually improved since I made the previous comment. But it has been awesomer. They just shouldn't try and compete with the commercial station shock jocks, no body likes them anyway, they simply don't need to do this. The Liberals will try their best to destroy it, and it'll start with budget cuts, then it'll be privatised, then it'll be unrecognisable. As Whitlam said, Maintain the rage.

    The sound of this song just reminds me so much of the great times I had with my friends in 2007. I found this song in 2007 and forgot about it for a few months. With me finding this again is gives me great memories and kinda makes me sad.
    Just goes to show how much music and other people can affect other people.

    and don't forget the addiction! "I wish that I could say that everyone was wrong" a bad relationship is just as addictive as any drug, and even though you know your friends are right in telling you that you should get out, there's just something keeping you there.

    You throw me in a pan
    You cook me in a can
    You stretch me with your hands
    You love to watch me bake
    You serve me up with cake
    And that's your big mistake
    Your guest comes in dressed smart
    You offer a la carte
    You didn't have the heart
    And I want a TV embrace
    And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate
    They swore you'd steal my steam
    To feed your dream
    And then be gone
    I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
    You left me burned and seared
    You left me ripped and teared
    And older than my years
    I should have know at first
    That you would leave me hurt
    You had to try dessert
    No way to let off steam
    Don't bother milk or cream
    No way to let off steam
    And I want a TV embrace
    And I, I'm getting off this boiling plate
    They swore you'd steal my steam
    To feed your dream
    And then be gone
    I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
    It must feel good to stand above me
    While I make you so proud of me
    It must feel good that I'm now gone
    I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
    I wish everyone was wrong
    I wish everyone was wrong
    I wish everyone was wrong
    I wish everyone was wrong
    I wish everyone was wrong
