This may be a totally obvious question, but the two times i've seen the go-betweens play they played a song, sung by robert which involved a chorus about old bones and tombstones and the first time, a long monologue of from robert about health food stores. I think he also mentions liking a shirt in it. Is it from his solo career?

Also of note, Robiter - The University of Queensland's Premier Cultural Paper will be putting out their 'Brisbane' themed issue on Monday week, which shall include, among other things, a Grant McLennan interview in which he talks through each and every song on ocean's apart. Copies can be procured for free, from the Law Library on St. Lucia campus. We might also send one to the website to be put up.

The track is '121' from his second album (and my favourite of his solo career) 'Calling From a Country Phone'. Takes a few listens to really get into but it's worth it.
