about

A pretty funky poppy song. Yeah.

lyrics

Sign of the times that you've had much better
Old under colder European weather.
Down in the crowded pool of modern life
Who being truthful really wants a wife?

But we mustn't grumble
And we shan't complain
Cos you won't get wine on the grapevines
If you don't get rain on the plains.

You used to look like you were much younger
Then you'd pretend no one else looked older.

But we mustn't grumble
And we shan't complain
Cos you won't get wine on the grapevines
If you don't get rain on the plains.

Most of the toasters you bought are now cots
Moan on the phone about the have and have-nots.

But we mustn't grumble
And we shan't complain
Cos you won't get wine on the grapevines
If you don't get rain on the plains.

But we mustn't grumble
And we shan't complain
Cos you won't get wine on the grapevines
If you don't get rain on the plains.

Cos you won't get wine on the grapevines
If you don't get rain on the plains.

about

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle.
