about

The White Chairs was the name given to the Carlton Elizabeth St Bar because of its rusty red carpet. It was where the groovers of Brisbane met on Friday night to imbibe, swap war stories and start their weekends. This is about that.

Recorded at Basement Studio early 1983

lyrics

BEAT 225

Go down to the place where heads shrink fast
Look into someone else's past
Switch on switch off see what gives
Find yourself a disused relative
On beat 225

Buy and sell you lifetime plans
As long as money changes hands
The ghostly dreams that haunt the bars
Are locked away in chemical jars
On beat 225

Well, you can never tell
Where your depression ends
The shape of all your friends
Life, life in this beehive
You might enjoy the drive
On beat 225, Beat 225

Beat 225
