Music in the Film:

The film used period related songs, with the exception of the David Bowie song which runs over the end credits.According to Al Clark, the creative team didn’t want to build the movie around period songs, but they thought that music could play a role, and the songs are used to accompany a number of montages. Clark says the creative team imagined that the film was set in Anzac Day 1965, and took songs from that period, which were then re-recorded by contemporary artists “so it didn’t just feel like an action replay.”Director Ogilvie wanted a pipe band for the Anzac Day March, because of its echoes from his own country town childhood in Goulburn - the Caledonia Pipes and Drums came up from Canberra to play - and he chose the Toselli Serenata for the ballroom dancing sequence as a way of creating an air of wistfulness in the montage that follows (Ogilvie scored a bronze medal for his ballroom dancing in his Goulburn years).Russell Crowe recorded a version of the protest song Eve of Destruction for possible use in the film, but no place could be found for it (Al Clark commentary track).As a piece of music trivia, the band that features at the evening dance contained two of the Wiggles, Jeff and Anthony, who were in the Cockroaches at the time (the band starts by performing Let’s Dance). (Al Clark, DVD commentary). The Cockroaches have a detailed wiki here. A soundtrack album and a couple of spin off singles were designed to promote the film, though without any impact on the box office.The Proclaimers’ version of Roger Miller’s King of the Road did however peak at #78 in Australia, according to the song’s wiki here, and it charted in the top ten in the UK and Germany. The Cockroaches are featured as the band at the night town dance, though the two numbers they perform didn’t help the band’s career - the 45 release of Here Comes that Feeling, with I Wanna Be With You as the B side, did no business (the songs didn’t make the 23 tracks in the Cockroaches’ “Best of” CD release)

David Bowie End Credits Song and Lyrics:

The David Bowie song which runs over the end credits was being recorded by him in Sydney at the time the film was being made. EP Al Clark knew Bowie a little because he nearly did the score for 1984, which Clark produced, and he was in Absolute Beginners, which Clark EP’d. Clark rang Bowie on the off chance he might be able to offer a song, and he was working on a couple, with Betty Wrong the one used in the film.

Lyrics as they are heard in the film:

‘Till the sun blisters and spraysAnd every lamb ceases to grazeWhen the kiss of the comb

Tears my face from the bone

CHORUSI'll be your lightWhen the shadows fall down the wallsThen life will be doneAnd it just won't matter at all

I was carved from a handNurtured on grime, goodwill and screamsNow your breath fills my stepNow there is you ‘till life is gone

CHORUSBut I'll be your lightWhen the shadows fall down the wallsThen life will be doneAnd it just won't matter at all

I'll roll your ballTill the starscan't make me cryThen life will be doneAnd it just won't matter at allNot at all...(Guitar-based solo)When the kiss of the combTears my face …(guitar-based solo and fade out)

Live Action Music:

As noted above, the Canberra Caledonia Pipes & Drums lead the Anzac Day parade, and the Cockroaches’ turn up at the evening dance.

(Below: stills from the movie of the pipe band - only the drum major scores a close up - and the Cockroaches, who are only seen in wide shot).

Composer Martin Armiger:

Composer Martin Armiger had done one short forty minute film, Drac, in 1972, before doing Pure Shit in 1975. His next notable composition for the screen was the score for the 20 by half hour ABC TV series, Sweet and Sour, in 1984, and thereafter he composed music for TV miniseries (Cyclone Tracy, 1986, Come in Spinner 1990), documentaries (Cane Toads: An Unnatural History, 1988) and feature films (Young Einstein, 1988).

The prolific Armiger has many other scores to his credit, as well as an extensive career in pop music as a record producer and also as a performer, most notably in the band The Sports. He has also composed for the stage, and in 1998 won the AFI Award for Best Music for a feature film for Thank God He Met Lizzie.

He became the head of Screen Music at the AFTRS, which at one time carried his

staff details (link no longer working) and which provided this short career summary:

Award winning film composer Martin Armiger has been writing for the screen for more than thirty years. Early works still attracting interest include Bert Delings notorious 1975 feature about heroin users, (Pure Shit, re-released in 2009 by Beyond Films,) and Jan Chapman's series about rock musicians (Sweet and Sour, ABC 1984) which will have its soundtrack re-released this year. Other projects include Clubland, Thank God He Met Lizzie, Young Einstein, Sweetie, The Secret Life of Us, Marking Time, Come In Spinner and Police Rescue. His last film was Mark Lewis' 3D documentary feature Cane Toads: The Conquest, (to be released in 2010) and he composed the current on air music for ABC TV News. He is Head of Screen Music at AFTRS.

Armiger had his own website, no longer active as of May 2016, and a detailed wiki here.
