The Immaculate Crows

The Immaculate Crows are a Brisbane-based Australian Alternative band formed originally by Bruce Neilsen and Chris Allen in 1982. Their second singer was David Page who would have been one of the first (if not the first) indigenous frontmen/vocalists in an Australian band. David had been a teenage pop-star. He was the first Australian to be signed to a Motown label. He sadly passed away in 2016. The band broke up in 1984 and Bruce formed Insurrection and The Popes before playing with The Immaculate Crows again briefly in 1984. They did songs that covered a broad spectrum of genres including punk, new wave, psychedelic, progressive rock and pop. Bruce and former member Mark Hocknell reunited in 2020 and several new songs have been released since. The Immaculate Crows is now a partnership where Bruce writes the lyrics, music and arrangements and Mark produces and plays on the initial tracks. Bruce also plays on the initial tracks. Carolyn Neilsen records vocals and extra tracks as well as doing the final mix which is sent to Kagen Step for mastering. Vocalists are sourced locally.

Love Is Perverse
(Words and Music by Bruce Neilsen)

When I want you
You seem so far away
Now that you’re near
I wish you’d disappear

For you were more precious
When you were out of reach
When you get too close babe
I can hardly speak

Love is perverse
It could be worse
It could all end
So stay a friend

Love is perverse
It could be worse
It could all end
So stay a friend

Love is perverse
Love is perverse
Love is perverse
Love is perverse

When I see your phony smile
I feel sick inside
I’d rather see you dead
Than take me for a ride

Sometimes my feelings change
And I reach out to you
Sometimes I get so bored
You have to do

Love is perverse
It could be worse
It could all end
So stay a friend

Love is perverse
It could be worse
It could all end
So stay a friend

Love is perverse
Love is perverse
Love is perverse
Love is perverse
