Go-Betweens Biography

The Go-Betweens were an indie rock band formed in Brisbane, Australia in 1977 by singer-songwriters and guitarists, Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. They were later joined by Lindy Morrison on drums, Robert Vickers on bass guitar and Amanda Brown on violin, oboe, guitar, and backing vocals, before disbanding in late 1989. Forster and McLennan reformed the band in 2000 with a new line-up, McLennan died on 6 May 2006 of a heart attack and The Go-Betweens disbanded again.

In 1988, "Streets of Your Town", the first single from 16 Lovers Lane, became the band's biggest chart hit in both Australia and the United Kingdom (UK). The follow-up single "Was There Anything I Could Do?" was a No. 16 hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States. In May 2001 "Cattle and Cane", from 1983's Before Hollywood was selected by Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time. In 2008, 16 Lovers Lane was highlighted on Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) TV's The Great Australian Albums series as a classic example of 1980s rock music.

Go-Betweens - Clouds Lyrics

The clouds are here
They aren't up in the sky
I cupped them with my hands
And reached up high

Go-Betweens - Head Full Of Steam Lyrics

I'd never met her type, she ignored me and that's alright
Never to be friends or my body lie on her floor
Her father works, her mother works in exports
But that's of no importance at all

Go-Betweens - Quiet Heart Lyrics

The heater's on
The windows are thin
I'm trying hard to keep this warmth in

Go-Betweens - You Can't Say No Forever Lyrics

You can have hearing loss when your boyfriend says
He's boss, you're scared of a new endeavor
What can be tempting you?
Who can be tempting you

Go-Betweens - Love Is A Sign Lyrics

I'm ten feet under water
Standing in a sunken canoe
Looking up at the waterlilies
They're green and violet blue

Go-Betweens - Part Company Lyrics

Come and have a look, beside me, a fine line of tears, part company
That's her handwriting, that's the way she writes, from the first letter
I got to this, her bill of rights, part company and what will I miss?
Her cruelty, her unfaithfulness, her fun, her love, her kiss, part company

More Go-Betweens - Part Company Lyrics

Go-Betweens - Someone Else's Wife Lyrics

Can't find my way down my own street
Got to get my dream on it's feet
I'm trapped in my house
On first name terms with its mouse
