AIN’T NOTHING CHANGED, IT ALL GOES ON
Today, I am playing the song, This Perfect Day by The Saints, and dancing around the room. Who can resist? It is a record full of mad noise and raw defiance. The Saints, my husband’s favourite band, are the great Aussie champions of insubordination and resistance.
But also, amidst all these glorious chordal abrasions, I want to say to you sweet people – a great and beautiful and heartfelt thank you for coming to The Stuff Page, year after year, and supporting The Vampire’s Wife. I love you all very much, more than you will ever know. Love Susie. x

This Perfect Day
Don't talk to me about what you done
Ain't nothing has changed, it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end
I've seen them drive around in cars
All look the same, get drunk in bars
And don't talk back, we got no social rights
Oh, perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
We got no high times, always flat
If you go out, you don't come back
It's all so funny I can't laugh
Oh, perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
Don't talk to me about what's you done
Ain't nothing has changed, it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end
Oh, perfect day
What more to say?
I don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know
Don't need nothin'
Don't need no one
