Songs about Brisbane – 15: Yves Klein Blue
[The final song in our series, and this one comes with a health warning – Ed.]
Yves Klein Blue – Polka
Correct me if I’m wrong, but every person who grew up in Brisbane is disgusted by the place. From every conversation I’ve had with any person, the response is the same. “Why would anybody write a song about Brisbane?” Interesting shit happens here, you just have to hunt it down. In other news, don’t take drugs kids, that’s what the song is about. I’ve always been a sucker for a bouncy song with disgustingly sad lyrics. Fuck off boring hometown? Ease the pain with some meth. Charmed, I’m sure.
