about

About a short-lived all night takeaway store in Hobart, Tasmania, where the food was awful, but the company was terrific.

lyrics

Verse 1
It’s late Monday night
All the shopkeepers have packed up their bain-marie’s
Gone back to their wives
But if you aint gotta wife
What a better way to waste away the dwindling hours
Left of your life
It’s the social hub in here
We got a coffee mug
We’re gonna fill it with beer for you
Whoo hoo hoo

Chorus
Cos there aint no reason I can see
Why we shouldn’t embrace mediocrity
The food all tastes like shit to me
But at least we’ve got great company now
I think I’ll find ya
Down at the OK Diner
With me
Whoo hoo hoo x 2

Verse 2
The macaroni cheese
Has been there all day
It’s staring out at you, it’s saying please
Take me home with you tonight
Come on, give me a try
Go grab yourself a magazine
While we microwave this margarine for you
Whoo hoo hoo

Chorus

Bridge
Cos it’s alright, it’s just OK
You can look the other way
We can’t try to understand
The hotdog’s effect on man

Solo over verse

Chorus

Whoo hoo hoo x 4

It’s a pastiche of indie cool, sharp riffs, scuzzy laden and confident rock, and catchy pop choruses, all delivered with a side serve of tongue in cheek lyrics and a hell of a lot of swagger. ... more
