about

A friend in need's a friend indeed. A friend with a part-time job at the chippy is better.

lyrics

Mates rates on potato cakes
It's really great when you're getting a mates rate
Potato cakes are really great
When you're getting mates rates on potato cakes

You're getting hungry and it's getting late
I send a message to my old mate
Says get down here at quarter to eight
And I'll give you mates rates on potato cakes

You're on a diet so you can't have cake
You're vegetarian and you won't eat steak
Doesn't matter how long it'll take
Cause we're gonna get better than the going rate

You're feeling hungry but don't wanna debate
You want some food for your stomach's sake
You drank too much and you're not feeling great
Well I'm not your mate, mate, let me get this straight

You're at the chippy but they don't have flake
Just the smell of the tackle and bait
They call em scallops in the other states
Whatever they're called, give me potato cakes

about

BRODOWN Melbourne, Australia

Brodown might be too loud, but they really are very good boys. Fixtures of Melbourne's punk scene, sure they yell a lot, but with songs about cats and not being an arsehole, it's always for a good cause.
