Hunters & Collectors - The Slab Lyrics






I was looking to see some dreams drip from your fingers
I was working in that lonely place where memory lingers
If there were words, if there was hair that I could drag you back with
If there was one single little hook that I could break your back with

Here we go
Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows

It's somewhere down there between daytime and the dark
And I'm gonna sweat beneath the light of a warm world
Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows

Out here in the street, naked in front of God and everyone
I'm beginning to see daylight yawning down there
And I'm just sitting here waiting for things to come
Cram that page baby, you know I'm marvellous
You think I'm sweating like this just for fun?

And hey I know it's true but I just can't say it
(Say it, say it)
Hey I know it's true but I just can't say it
(Say it, say it)
All right, all right!

Just.... one..... touch
And everything will be all right

Just.... one..... touch
And everything will be all right

  1. P.... D....

    How good is that film clip!

  2. S.... G....

    dude is this about the slab?

  3. E.... ....

    2:58 - what town is that?

    E.... ....

    Looks like Seymour before the bypass

  4. G.... ....

    And 13 years later, the lead singer would make his American film debut in the excellent thriller L.A. Confidential.

  5. S.... ....

    02:15 When men were real men, in shorts that were really short

  6. P.... B....

    Fuck they were good

  7. D.... H....

    That rhythm guitar. Ohmigod, that rhythm guitar.

  8. g.... ....

    Who is the dark haired beautiful sharpie girl?

  9. J.... W....

    love this bass line

  10. s.... r....

    man, what is this video clip about?!?!?!?

  11. d.... m....

    How good was this song live back in the day? Such good memories

  12. R.... T....

    One of my favourite H&C tracks plus the Sharpie's make it so rad!

  13. J.... B....

    Great song, I used to think Mark Seymour was the lead singer for TISM. Very similar voice.

    J.... B....

    Damien Cowell (the actual lead singer of TISM) complained that Hunters and Collectors were for the "cool crowd" and then I just came and watched this video again. Nope, they just do good music.

  14. W.... I....

    This song is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. T.... J....

    Yeah i bought the DVD from JB HiFi and just like this youtube video ITS IN FUCKING MONO with NO HIFI whatsoever.

  16. s.... ....

    The best song ever written about cunnilingus. Man they used to rock this at The Old Greek Theater in Richmond.

  17. M.... C....

    Love the video clip. Classical Oz culture from the 80's.

  18. M.... C....

    Unfortunately not very good sound quality on this download.

  19. A.... S....

    did they use 2 bases to get that sound?

  20. r.... c....

    was it also known as the slab or bettys worry

    r.... c....

    according to the dumb fuck from tripleM brisbane , there's no such song called betty's worry or the slab.

    r.... c....

    @shane berryman Not surprised
     

    r.... c....

    @ Shane berryman that does not surprise me in the least fucking banana benders LOL...

    r.... c....

    yes that Kyle is another Brisbane tie who thinks he's shit don't stink backward bastards !!!
    I have met a lot of cool people from QLD FNTH QLD but like Peter garret sang..."Where's Brisbane" !!! LOL

    r.... c....

  23. n.... ....

    fucking Melbourne circa 1984... greetings from boring Sydney

  24. J.... R....

    Melbourne Bogans as extras? .... are they like the same as Sydney Westies?

    J.... R....

    I don't think they're bogans.  I think they're Melbourne art students from well-to-do middle class families having their own pub experience.  These kids are the reason Melbourne has weird looking buildings these days.

  25. a.... ....

    The Hunnas finest moment IMHO.

  26. M.... ....

    awesome transfer of this! First song I heard by them!

  27. d.... ....

    Brilliant....and just a little bit funny!

  28. s.... ....

    I know it's true. But I just can't say it: Love the Sharpie Dance & the low angle open road shots...Full of the irony of Australian masculine culture..

    s.... ....

    Classic oz...warms my heart.

  29. z.... ....

  32. R.... T....

    Anyone see the Hunters at Seaview Ballroom St kilda? Awesome gig Thanks Paul and Donnie !!

    R.... T....

    Yes I did. Was that with the Painters and Dockers?

    R.... T....

    Ha, remember the dogs of war...

    R.... T....

    We saw them one New Years Eve at the Seaview Ballroom back on the early eighties.

  33. P.... S....

    Love the old school ACTU Solo petrol station at the beginning of this clip...

  34. M.... G....

  40. T.... M....

    i want to marry the girl in the orange cardigan.

    T.... M....

    I actually did marry the girl jumping on the sofa at 2:08 - or at least someone very much like her.

  41. M.... ....

    These guys were great, really experimental in the early days. First time i saw them they were supporting the Stranglers, the huge brass section just kept filing on stage, blew the Stranglers away on the night.

  42. s.... ....

    That was brilliant !!! Thanks for putting up the video and rekindling all those memories. Those dance scenes in the bar are priceless !!

  43. T.... ....

    @Mav1313 it looks more like Fitzroy vs Essendon..

    T.... ....

  44. M.... ....
