The Celibate Rifles - Bill Bonney Regrets download song

Up there with the Saints and Radio Birdman.

I love these guys, one of my all time favorite bands, and was lucky enough to catch them in Boston a few times.This is amazing, thanks for posting!

First beatbox vid I've found on ytube Sweet! Lovelock could write a song fer sure Great vid

I still remember on one of the Rifles tours in QLD when I and Damo went to get the money from the Promoter and went into this building and Damo looks at me and says with his fingers in her pocket, This look like a gun? and at that moment kicks the door open and ask the boss for the payment for tonights show the guy says no, so Damo lets him have it with the old finger in the pocket trick and screams out give us our money a few times and waves his fingers around the room, the guy gives up the cash and Damo says to run for your life to the van. we got to the van and made a great getaway and the band and crew can eat tonight. RIP Damo.

thats when i could afford an apartment in Bondi

Lovelock hated the film clip making process, funny how they made one of the best clips ever.

Been trying to find the lyrics to this song, all over the internet. I couldn't, so I wrote them myself. (to the best of my hearing, these are the words) You're welcome, internet. BILL BONNEY REGRETS Meanwhile at the process plant, there's a process goin' on Negation and sterility, patient disability Reconstituting you and me, a reflection of himself While at the house of learning, inside those hallowed halls Students in the old schoolyard, their mum's were workin' very hard Just like in the prison yard, and uniforms are free And in the factory of lunacy, the wheels are grinding on And things are looking pretty grim, they sing a cacophonic hymn And medicate the soul within, to neutralize the passion The headline is screaming, corruption in the force Well they took that money and killed a man, selling junk inside the can Cops and crim's walk hand-in-hand, and it's called free enterprise Then we come home at 5 'o' clock, and turn the TV on And the news is what we want to hear, electric magic diarrhoea Touch a thousand nameless fears, in the comfort of your home Underneath the big top, it is, election time again Laugh and damn us all to hell, find an issue make it sell They're not good, they're just not well, and it's called democracy

Not just the song but the Beatbox intro brings back a lot of memories of growing up in 80's Australia. I used to like the interviews between songs and I'm sure if you watched them now, it would provide an interesting insight into society back then. I remember that everyone was a something, whether a headbanger, lemon, trendy, punk, wog (like me), wesite or some other label.

One of the best, RIP Damien

Excellent, one of Australia's finest. - The living room makes a great set for this - gotta love the strategically placed copy of "Raw Power" on the turntable. Thanks for posting.

1st time I ever saw the Rifles was this clip on Beatbox. I was an Instant fan.

I think this is around 85, original drummer phil jacquet with mykie courvet on bass

Thanks for posting this. A f'n amazing anthropological document of the most criminally underrated musicians in the world.

the guy with the long hair on the guitar - he is my uncle!

'Meanwhile at the process plant, there's a process going on.' is possibly my favourite opening line of a song.

best line in a rock song ever! "And the news is what we want to hear Electric magic diarrhoea"

This comments section made me literally piss myself laughing

this is probably the best thing I've ever seen on the whole internet
