about

Our first E.P, which reached number 4 on the Australian Independent Charts in 1990. Tax Stamp was track 1 on side 1 of the record.

lyrics

Oh your soul steep and graded like a safety ramp.
What you know you can't claim back with a tax stamp.

The spirit of your necessity is a slow and painful delivery –
lots of trouble, a muddy puzzle, a bloody gurgle.
You sank and you swam and you crawled and you ran
But you'll never get back, never get back there again.

A semi-conscious is what you got. Slightly murky, slightly shot.
Nicely muddled, the odds are doubled.
You tossed and you turned and you lit and you burned.
You've been loved and ….
You've been loved and spurned.

Oh your soul steep and graded like a safety ramp.
What you know you can't claim back with a tax stamp.

A joke's fine line is where you walk with lots of plans
And lots of talk.
Sad eyes of a liar, soul made of fire,
Cork tipped heart and bones of chalk.
