notes
A New Zealand act whose Australian chart success (this NZ import reached the Top 10 in Australia while barely denting the UK or US charts) dwarfed its overseas run, built on Eddie Rayner's fast, bright triadic keyboard hook doubling the vocal melody between verse lines. The part is short and percussive rather than sustained, sitting just above the guitars.
