Husbands sat in discrete cafes
And flirted with their wives
"I'll give you head," all girlfriends said
"Don't worry," said the guys
...
The teachers' faces paled
They wouldn't have been in trouble
With a cop from New South Wales
"I'm taking you back home right now
Don't dare not call me pig
And you can explain why you were caught
Drug-free to your kids"

(Trippy, fun fan video: https://youtu.be/zPsygsZvtj0)
Life is full of problems and here's the remedy
Denial works for me
There's a freight train coming loaded with anxiety
You're tied to the tracks, don't worry (Denial works for me)
Why put off till tomorrow, responsibilities
They'll just come back to haunt you (Ignore them totally)

... Who'd flatten you with mindless glee when they got really newted.
Behind the bottleshop you'd see the roughest justice done:
Yeah, it was assault and battery - but with a sense of fun,
And a drink together after, when the ambulance had come...
Double TISM week, lucky you.

Someone's left their lights on in the car park of love.
...
Now it's advertisements, and pop videos will whine –
We can't afford the beauty of a silent quarter time! –
So, returning to our cars, just like lives and years,
We turn the key, only to find the love has disappeared."

Was it God or the Devil, tell me somebody
Who put Sophie Lee in Sophie Lee's body?
...
Who is who, damn it, can you tell me soon?
Who is the human, who is the cartoon?
...
It couldn't be could it? Impossible, I feel
I heard Sophie Lee is actually real

Did you know their first song was a cover of #TISM?
This is not that song.
Nostalgic 90's #ausMusic indie shoe-gaze fuzz.
You said take a look at happiness
What the hell is that?
Give me a sign, a feeling
I'm empty, I'm empty, I'm empty

I used to sit for hours all alone
Without an opinion to call my own
But now I'm out of the closet & I feel free
'Cause I just saw #Thunderbirds on TV, yeah
I think I could be like those puppet guys
'Cause there's less to them than meets the eye

No good videos, only live or record audio + album cover.
This is from the former lead of #TISM - a band I reckon would be up your alley. However this is from his "I'm getting old now but still need to earn a living" phase.
