Talking to a Stranger
Hunters & Collectors Lyrics
Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
Remember the panic in its delectable face, when I touched it
It was like talking to a stranger
Venetian candles penetrated its heart
It trembles like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger, no no.
Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
You tasted mustard when she painted your face
And it was like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger
Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger.
Souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
You tasted mustard when she painted your face
And it was like talking to a stranger
Remember the panic in its delectable face, when you touched it
It was like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger.
You're talking to a stranger
You're talking to a stranger, no no.

Hunters & Collectors were an Australian Rock band, formed in 1981 in Melbourne, who were originally influenced by German experimentalists like Can and later leaning more towards popular rock. Taking their name from a Can song, the band was formed by Mark Seymour (guitar, vocals), John Archer (bass), Doug Falconer (drums), Geoff Crosby (keyboards), Greg Perano (percussion), Ray Tosti-Gueira (guitar), and Robert Miles (sound engineer and art director, considered a full member).

After recording their first album, which featured the single Talking to a Stranger, the band traveled to Germany to record with famed producer Conny Plank. In 1984, the band reorganized, adding a three-piece horn section and losing the second guitarist. By 1986, the band's style was moving away from the sweat-drenched rhythmic jams of their early days to a more song-centered aproach centered on Seymour (whose younger brother Nick was a member of Crowded House). Throw Your Arms Around Me was a successful single in many countries.
The band was never able to match the worldwide attention they reached in 1986, though they continued to record with considerable success in Australia, and maintained a loyal fanbase elsewhere.
They broke up in 1998, but returned to play one concert on 14 March 2009 for "Sound Relief" at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which was a multi-venue rock music concert in support of relief for the Victorian Bushfire Crisis.

An Australian group so good that even New Zealanders love them. Can't get better praise than that.

@White and Black Zebra We'll the Aussies take all the best artists from kiwis to claim as their own. Pretty sure Greg Perano is a kiwi born on the wild west coast of the sth island.

@Geoff Aldwinckle Yup Great track, tight sound albeit a very Ramones riffed Ensemble tribut
Geoff Aldwinckle
@Oldbean000 possibly. Although "Stranded" by The Saints is more influential.

Has there ever been a wilder debut from a band? I remember seeing/hearing this for the first time and having to pick my jaw up off the ground. That bass is beyond belief...... LOVE THE HUNTERS *_*
Helen South
Yes! Me too. Bass was huge in those days. Remember Do Re Mi? Great bassist, too.
TheEvoNut
A great, timeless song and yeah, still "fairly trippy". Has a Mad Max feel about it, creative times in film and music in Aus. Australian music from mid 70's to mid 80's was really something.

The first song I searched for when I discovered YouTube
