One for the Aussies.

So I'm trying to find a song, from, oh, 15 years ago. Sydney band, part of me wants to say the Clouds, but most of me thinks that's close-but-wrong. Song was probably called "Locket" or possibly "Lock it" (being a cunning pun, you see). Lyrics start:

"I gave you a necklace of purple and blue, you took it so gently I felt see-through"...

A couple, at a party, boy meets girl, etc. Memorable line: "Christ, I really like you". chorus along the lines of "Take it ome, lock it up". I dunno.

May have made a very early triple J hot 100, back around 1992.

Anyone? Beuller?

ETA: Oh intarwebs, I love you. "Lock It", by the Falling Joys. Now, do any of you know where I can acquire a recording of said?

Well done! The intarwebs came through once I searched triple Js hottest 100 archives, but it's nice to have an answer from friends :) You don't happen to know where I can get my hands on a copy, do you? It is a beautiful song.

David (hawk_eye) kept our copy, I'm afraid. Limewire?

Drop iki_maska a line, he's got the most comprehensive set of independent local music I can think of.

and according to this: http://www.amws.com.au/f/falling-joys/fj-discog-txt.html
the album you're after is "Wish List".

Dman, I miss the Joys.
