In 1999 The Whitlams shot the music video for “Blow Up the Pokies” at an empty, dilapidated theatre in Woolloongabba. That theatre has been recently restored and Brisbane is now blessed with the 500 seater hosting gigs once more. The Whitlams Black Stump Band returned to the charming Princess Theatre to play its final show of the recent Big City Debut tour in April 2023. The video for the single was filmed during that performance. It is a love song to the Princess Theatre, a love song to the joys of attending shows, and a snapshot of camaraderie on the road. LYRICS A letter to you on a cassette ‘Cause we don’t write anymore Gotta make it up quickly - There’s people asleep on the second floor There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness Truth beauty and a picture of you You’ll be walking your dog in a few hours I’ll be asleep in my brother’s house You’re a thousand miles away With food between your teeth Come up for summer I’ve got a place near the beach There’s room for your dog There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness Truth beauty and a picture of you There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness Truth youth beauty fame boredom and a bottle of pills There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness You shouldn’t leave me alone There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair innocence Saturday and a picture of you Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair awkwardness impunity and a picture of you There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile Forty shaved sexy wants to do it all day With a gun-totin’ trigger-happy missy named Kinky Renée Truth youth beauty fame boredom red hair no hair awkwardness and a picture of you
