You can hear the plucky rhythm bass guitar similar to that on songs by the Cure and New Order. And the mood is very Psychedelic Furs. But... where did THIS song come from?

Maybe from here:

Which would bring us back around to a more pirate ballad sort of feel.

"Love, love will tear us apart.."
"Down, tie me kangaroo down..."

"When routine bites hard and ambitions are low, and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow, and we're changing our ways, taking different roads..."
"So he tanned his hide when he died Clyde, and that's it sitting on the shed..."

Can ya hear it?!

Apparently, the Aussie song was before synthesizers were widespread, so they had to use some kind of bubble machine in instead. That's what I said. Fred.

Here is a better sounding presentation of DUB DIVISION - buy the whole album - there are 150, I think. You will become a happy people.

Here's a 1979 album by Joy Division. Feel those influences!

And here's another influential song, for some reason I am posting...
