What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



These guys are just strange. At least based on this album, the only one I have. Glam rock I guess. Aussie blokes
formed the group in the early 70's and this is their second album. The first spent 16 weeks at #1 in the homeland.
This one wasn't far behind, at 11 weeks at the top. Must come from walking around upside down all the time. The
album never charted here. Toured with AC/DC and Split Enz while promoting their first album. A #1 single from this
one with the title track and a #5 with All My Friends Are Getting Married, which is my favorite. I can handle both
of those along with two others but the rest are rubbish to me. On my american release there are two tracks
different from the original Australian release. Not sure what was behind that, but those were replace by two tracks
from their first album. The group split in 1980 after five albums, and have been inducted into the ARIA Hall Of
Fame. Guess I was out of touch on these guys, as they were certainly popular down under.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Love On The Radio

Best Track - All My Friends Are Getting Married

Well all my friends are getting married
Yes they're all growin' old
They're all staying home on weekends
They're all doin' what they're told

Well I looked into the crowd the other night
And I saw an old familiar face
He said "How are you doin' Shirl my boy?"
He said " Tell me, are you playin' the same old place?"
I asked him all about himself
And he said that he was married with a kid
Showed me a picture of his wife
And we talked about all those things we did

Well all my friends are getting married
Yes they're all growin' old
They're all staying home on weekends
They're all doin' what they're told

Well sometimes I feel like I'm left behind
And sometimes I feel like I've just left school
Wonder if I'll ever grow up
Maybe I'm the only fool

Well all my friends are getting married
Yes they're all growin' old
They're all staying home on weekends
They're all doin' what they're told

But I'm all caught up with this magic
Yes I'm all caught up with this fun
I'm all caught up with this music
Well maybe I'll never have a son
Well maybe I'll never have a son

Well all my friends are getting married (Oh, the time has come)
Yes they're all growin' old (Yes, they're all growin' old)
They're all staying home on weekends (I just want to be here, on my own)
They're all doin' what they're told (Oh yes, they're growin' old)
They're all doin' what they're told (Yes they won't, settle down)
They're all doin' what they're told (But I don't wanna be, pushed around)
