(2003)

Another Vulture Street single, it kicks off deceptively as an acoustic song before ripping into that soft/ loud dynamic so enamoured of rock bands who came of age in the 90s. The band got deeply metaphoric in the ninja fencing video but it was in the live arena where this song really rocked.

The first single from Internationalist, a soaring mid tempo track which many critics cited as a political commentary on the rise of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party. While the band dismissed speculation it was directly about Hanson, the song preceded more overt political statements such as Like A Dog which referenced then Prime Minister John Howard’s “relaxed and comfortable” speech about Australia. attempts by critics and fans to suggest what the song title stood for beyond the band’s simple explanation that it was the chord progression. announced their second record Double Allergic. No one was more surprised than the band members themselves commercial pop and rock stations beyond Triple J embraced their sound.

It kicked off their regular nomination throughout their career for the ARIA Song of the Year.
