Ever since an Aussie friend introduced me to the Cosmic Psychos, they may be my favorite band. But neither my Melbournian friend, nor her friends, could totally decipher the following hook from "Lead Me Astray" on the s/t 'beach album'.

"I see _____________ and I think of you."

I've searched high and low. I've got lots of reasonable guesses, but nothing definitive. Help? It's driving people in two hemispheres to the brink of madness. My next step is to contact the label or publisher or something. Ross doesn't seem like much of an emailer.

10 points if you can give me the correct answer, 10,000 if you can provide documentation.

Then take those points and rush out to buy "Go The Hack" and the recent documentary about the band.

Thanks in advance.

I can only ever hear that lyric as "I see a toaster and I think of you". I have no idea if that is correct though.

Thanks! That's the one I think it must be, too. There's also the rather crude entendre that implies - seems about par for the course when it comes to their lyrics. Maybe my brain's playing tricks on me, but I feel like I might be hearing something else.

Other condenders people have suggested include:
"See a postcard and I think of you"
"See a toadstool and I think of you"
"See your toes turn and I think of you"
... and several others that make even less sense.

Heheheh! Yep. I'm struggling to find any other possible word.

Funny, when I see a toast I think of toast.

This doesn't answer the OP but they supported the Hard Ons on their recent 30th anniversary show and they were fucking huge, as good as in their prime in the late 80s.
Country air must be doing good things for Ross.

I wore the grooves deep into this album as an angsty, eighties teen, and always love this line best. I assumed, and I think logically, "I see YOUR toaster and I think of you". Like, post break up contemplation in the kitchen. Remember that we Aussies don't pronounce R at the end of words.
