'(I’m) Stranded'

Clip description

This is a clip from '(I’m) Stranded’, performed by the Saints and written by Ed Kuepper and Chris Bailey. This song and the single’s B-side, ‘No Time’, were recorded at Bruce Windows Studios in Brisbane.

Curator’s notes

This landmark song was recorded in just two hours. It features a typically loud, raw and catchy sound with trademark deadpan vocals. The band organised the whole recording themselves, including booking the studio and producer Mark Moffatt. Ed Kuepper also arranged for Astor Records to press 500 copies.

Like a snake calling on the phone
I’ve got no time to be alone
There is someone coming at me all the time
Yeah babe I think I’ll lose my mind

'Cause I’m stranded on my own
Stranded far from home, all right
