The Breakfast Creek hotel is up for sale
The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail
so farewell to the Norfolk Island pines
No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine
End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Yours dreamworld will fall
So shut that buckle and turn that key again
Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends
Open wide drive that mystery road
Walk through eden's garden and then wonder as you go
Sign says honeymoon to rent
Cloudland into dreamland turns
The sun comes up and we all learn
Those wheels must turn
The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail
so farewell to the Norfolk Island pines
No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine
End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Yours dreamworld will fall
So shut that buckle and turn that key again
Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends
Open wide drive that mystery road
Walk through eden's garden and then wonder as you go
Sign says honeymoon to rent
Cloudland into dreamland turns
The sun comes up and we all learn
Those wheels must turn

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
The "Breakfast Creek Hotel" was on the Gold Coast of Qld. This song is about the destruction of our coastal environment (durrr) for the sake of progress - the music video was filmed at Coalcliff in NSW.
The Breakfast Creek Hotel is in Brisbane... the same place it's been for over 100 years.
Sloane - are you sure the Brisbane hotel's the one that theyr'e referring to?
Could there be more than one BCH ? as the song has a coastal theme ?
BCH deffinitely in brisbane, on the highway down to the gold coast though...
The Breaky Creek Hotel is on Kingsford Smith Dr. Right in Brisbane city. It fronts the Breakfast Creek which runs into the Brissy River, just after the Story Bridge. Nowhere near the Gold Coast...google it if you don't believe me.
Anyway, BCH is a Brisbane landmark, so was Cloudland. The song is about how nothing ever stays the same and that people are prepared to knock down landmarks to make a buck. BCH sold, but fortunately never got knocked down. Unfortunately, it was highly renovated and is now longer a place to drop in for a drink, it is upmarket and expensive and certainly not working class anymore.
I always wondered if this song was referring to the two Brissy landmarks. Was prob too young to remember BCH being sold. My mum always told me though about Cloudland (it was a dance hall). The story goes that the Dean Bros (a famous Brisbane demolition company) knocked it down during the night (I think in about 1981) and all of Brisbane woke up to a city without Cloudland. Funny thing is I now have a freind who lives in one of the aparments now standing on the site.
Sorry - Deen Brothers. Demolished 7th Nov 1982. So I was 1 year old - so give me a break - i was close. :)
The song is about Brisbane and more generally the SE corner of Queensland. Continuing the great Australian tradition of singing about places in our wonderful land.
In their day the Oils' biggest fan base was here, when they visited they played multiple consecutive gigs at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre; a venue the band hated because of the dreadful acoustics and the time it took to sound-check.
Play the "scream in blue" live version of "Dreamworld"; in the background are 10,000 screaming Brisbane fans (and the massive slap-back from the back wall).
