Biography:
The band originated in Perth, Western Australia in the late 1970s. They went through various line-up changes until the early 1980s when they moved to Sydney and later Melbourne and released their first LP Treeless Plain. The band toured extensively in Europe and caught the attention of the UK music press, being featured on the cover of NME twice.
Four albums followed - Born Sandy Devotional, In the Pines, Calenture and The Black Swan - before the group disbanded in 1989.

C
It's only an image of her
D G
Just a trick of the light
G
I have a letter, familiar paper.
C D
I keep a figurine in a locket
G
It's dedicated, engraved initials.
C D
Yellow photograph in a pocketbook
(This is the Chorus)
C D
Well the rim of her mouth is golden,
G C
But her eyes were just desert sands.
C G
But that's not her.
C G
That's just the light.
C G
Only an image of her.
D G
Just a trick of the light.
I have a letter, gives me directions
Name of the street where I should turn.
Spoke to a woman that burst into flames
Saying "back to you honey, no returns".
(Chorus)
I was beating on her like an anvil.
Beating her out of original shape.
With that same old panic, caught on her face
I copied the image of the ancient template.
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
There's a man, sowing sunflowers,
There's a woman, weeping weeds.
You can find no rest in sleep,
You can find no peace in greed.
(Chorus) x2
(Second time through the chorus, miss the first two lines and start at "Oh that's not her...".)
