about

An homage to one of Melbourne's best loved touring venues. Originally commissioned for the Leaps and Bounds streaming music festival.

lyrics

At the Corner

Heard Rebecca Barnard playing Boots of Spanish Leather
Heard The Fish John West Reject down there when they were still together
We were booked to play Grand Final night we thought we had it made
Until they took that cup and sent it off to Adelaide

(Chorus)
At the, in the, down the, round the
Meet you at the corner
By the, near the, on the, in the
Meet you at the Corner
Meet you at the Corner
Meet you at the Corner

Never saved the ticket stub I don’t have any proof
Of the night that Teenage Fan Club nearly lifted off the roof
But if I had a buck for every show I’d seen or played
I’d trade it for that cup that we sent off to Adelaide

Here’s an observation you might find tricky to believe
It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
Than get a cab on Swan St
On NewYear’s Eve

Before the show gets started I could meet you on the sly
And we can sit up on the roof and watch the trains go by
And talk of all the shows we’ve seen such stories we might trade
Like they night they stole the cup and took it back to Adelaide
Those feckless fucking bastards took that cup to Adelaide

“Mick Thomas has some secret magic to his writing… he surely can write great songs that make you say “Why didn’t I think of that?” He writes about mates, ratbags, races, places, weddings, parties, funny stuff – anything – but they are really good stories and great songs.

Mick Thomas and his bands, notably ‘The Weddos’ or ‘The Roving Commission’ or MT himself are all something to behold
