Tim wrote this shortly after the Dili massacre. It's about the genocide in East Timor, which was a horror committed by the Indonesian military, and the Australian government's involvement. At least, that's how I see it. |

The song is about a guy, who's simply a down and out, but he still loves his city. And in the end, when he realizes that Sydney has the Olympic games, he throws himself into the harbour and drowns himself - because, in the end, after everything else, even his city has betrayed him. |

Personally, I think the song is about being trapped by society. But, of course, we all had different ideas. *shrugs* (Oh, Dempsey - a lyrical god) |

The song is about a girl who, while coming home from a punk rock concert (this is a true story, apparently), was kidnapped and raped. Her torturer used rope, a blowtorch, etc., on the girl during her time with him...until she gained his trust and escaped... O_o |
