Background

The song title and lyrics refer to the rapid development of Melbourne in the late 1990s, with major projects such as CityLink and Melbourne Docklands in progress and being constructed with little regard to whether it was development on parks or historic sites. The cover art depicts a redscale Melway map of the Melbourne CBD and Southbank area..
