Mental as Anything If you leave me can I come to?

FearlessFly comments on Nov 15, 2019:

Mental As Anything are an Australian new wave/pop rock band that formed in Sydney in 1976. Their original hit songs were generated by Mombassa, O'Doherty, Plaza and Smith, either individually or collectively.

One last one from me.

FearlessFly comments on Nov 15, 2019:

It’s a song about grief, mourning, loss and the afterlife. It’s played at funerals, 21st birthdays, retirement parties – even weddings. https://www.theguardian.com/music/australia-culture-blog/2014/apr/15/australian-anthems-the-angels-am-i-ever-gonna-see-your-face-again
