'Plankton of Love'

What The Hell Are You Singing About?

We used to play this song as a gentler, lighter, almost pop kind of song. In the tiny following that we had, one of our regular audience member used to scream out and request this one. He even went and carved the title somewhere in his faculty. It's flattering but also a little absurd. Somewhere there is a piece of carved graffiti in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Sydney wherein it is inscribed 'Plankton of Love'.

People would have walked by this thing and probably never stopped to wonder what the hell it was about. An insignificant cypher of something from another age.
"What the hell?" they might ask themselves. "What the hell is the 'Plankton of Love'?"

From all the previous entries one might be led to think we were a humourless bunch. All these seriously anguished songs about the injustices and the civil inadequacies of government and business, the ever impending doom of a consumerist society eating out the planet and crowding out the eco-system; these were the songs we wrote in earnest because we felt what we felt and what we felt had to be given some shape.

We didn't always take ourselves so seriously. Occasionally we indulged in nonsense lyrics.
Like this one. I really couldn't tell you what the hell we were thinking with this song.
