Notes

Private Universe says that Nick Seymour and Paul Kelly wrote this song. The Garbo Press Kit [pdf] credits Mark Seymour as songwriter.

Stephen Kearney and Neill Gladwin work together as Los Trios Ringbarkus.

Stephen Kearney (Steve) played Pete in Rikki and Pete.
Neill Gladwin (Neill) is directing a live version of the The Underwater Melon Man (1998) in New Zealand in March 2002.

BTW 'Garbo' is nothing to do with Greta. Garbo is Australian slang for a garbage or waste collector.
