Tropical Fuck Storm - This Perfect Day (Feat Amy Taylor)


  Here's something for those of us that loved last year's excellent Amyl And The Sniffers album. It's a cover of a classic single originally released by Aussie punk legends The Saints back in 1977. This new version is by Melbourne psychedelic rockers Tropical Fuck Storm and it features guest vocals by Amy Lee Taylor plus drumming from Surfbort's Stuart Powell. It's the flip side of their new 7", the A side is titled Suburbiopa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3Yrnhw3rk8) and it's out now on Flightless Records.

  Amy's punchy, in your face vocal delivery style works well on this faithful reworking of one of the best songs ever to come out of Australia. Described as both "a short statement of resistance" and "an ultimate expression of teenage nihilism" it's titled This Perfect Day...

Don't talk to me about what you done
Ain't nothing has changed, it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end
I've seen them all drive around in cars
All look the same, get drunk in bars
And don't talk back, we got no social rights
Oh, perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
We got no high times, always flat
If you go out, you don't come back
It's all so funny I can't laugh
Oh, perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
Don't talk to me about what's you done
Ain't nothing has changed, it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end
Oh, perfect day
What more to say?
I don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
Don't need nothin'
Don't need no one
