Lyrics
17 April 2026 at 16:09 v5.5 I live in a shed out the back of Mum’s place A tin roof shelter for my technical space No neon sign, no office lease Just a P.C. hum and a bit of peace Ryzen nine’s purring, the kettle’s on Kookaburra laughs at the crack of dawn From Amity sand to the Point Lookout view Finding a fix that is honest and true Sunday markets when the tourists land, Tablecloth straight, printed banners look grand Strange but True: Tech, Art and Ideas Helping you navigate your digital fears Someone says, Mate, my phone’s gone mad Another says, damn passwords make me sad We sit, we laugh, we take it slow It’s easier than they thought, ya know It’s Strange but True, come have a look No trick questions, no textbook I won’t fix you, I’ll sit with you And find a way that works to Strange but True no big debut Just bits and pieces that help you through No hard sell and no grand plan Just doing the best I bloomin' can I’ve done the rounds of build me a site Eons later he says it’s still not quite right Can we just tweak it some more? yeah, no thanks That rabbit hole damn-well empties my tanks So now it’s simple, clear and fair I’ll show you how, but I won’t live there I’ll help you start, I’ll point you through Then off you go that job’s on you Fishing club meetings, bowls club calls Mic on the table, cameras on the walls Let’s just record it save some time No more guessing what’s between the lines From NAIDOC nights to cinema screens Point Lookout Hall glowing in projection beams One car load or a trailer full Depends how far we want to pull It’s Strange but True come have a look No fine print hiding in a book Just honest help and a bit of care And maybe a yarn while you’re sitting there Strange but True under island skies From broken phones to bigger whys No rush to win, no need to prove Just finding a rhythm so we can move A few small jobs and a couple of calls A quiet kind of business that fills the stalls No empire dreams, no flashy spin Just building something that feels like a win Got V.R. goggles if you want a peek Future’s knocking but I’ll keep it meek Bit of A.I. mixed with some light and sound Simplicity turns confusion around From Straddie out to the island chain Same local stories, same tech pain Same small wins when things click through That’s the work… Strange but True Strange but True, come have a look Not everything needs a polished hook Sometimes a fix is just a chat And a bit of time, imagine that Strange but True, I’ll be around In the market shade or festival ground No big arrival, no grand debut Just turning up… Strange but True
