about

Cheersquad Records and Tapes are super excited to release the new single for Wesley Fuller - 'Alamein Line' - OUT TODAY!

‘Alamein Line’ is based on a suburban Melbourne train line, and in making the video, Wesley wanted to make “one of those quintessentially Melbourne kinda clips, hopefully in the same style as Skyhooks, Courtney Barnett etc.”

He also says: “At a house party in Hawthorn one night, I overheard a girl on the phone to a friend. Her friend was on her way over but was running super late as her train was delayed, and then she got off at the wrong station and was asking for directions. During the conversation, she remarked “Oh I fucking hate the Alamein Line”. I’d had a little melody stuck in my head for a while, so I put the lyrics ‘Alamein Line it’s a hell of time’ to it. Went home the next morning and constructed the song around that theme.”

lyrics

Sun sets over the junction
Make it across town at her behest
Take your time honey, there’s no need to hurry on over

Lost in sweet locomotion
Take me to the place that’s the best
I’ll tell you everything I can’t admit when I’m sober

Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’ a hell of a time

She’s the queen of innuendo
Waiting by her bay window
Up and down the grove and suddenly the mood gets stronger

She tells me Deepdene’s a deep scene
Falling out of step with the jet set
ETA baby, are you gonna keep me waiting much longer?

Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it's a hell of a time

Ah Alamein Line, Alamein Line
Ah Alamein Line, Alamein Line, Alamein Line, Alamein

Stumbling onto the concourse
How did I end up in Whitehorse?
Help me out baby, got a super bad sense of direction

Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Oh, oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time
