Song Question


When the young model character returns home to find her painter boyfriend in bed with another women, what is the new wave-pop song playing in the background? Can someone with a copy of the film please Shazam! it and let me know...? Thanks

There is no such scene.
We do see another woman, Angela, with the painter, lying naked at first, but that is when Charles Bremer visits the painter's studio.
No background music at that point.

Damn.

Ok, maybe it's a scene when the boyfriend is painting his horrible abstractions. It takes place in the studio, that's all I know, because the rest of the film incorporates opera. There's a Birthday Party flyer on the wall of the studio. The tune playing is much poppier than that group, it sounds like something the Flying Nun label might've released in the early 80s. Please help me.

I saw a screening two days ago. The scene is Lisa and her boyfriend David in bed, when he asks what she does to get paid so much. The music playing quietly in the background is the only music in the film that is not from Lucia di Lammermoor. It is not mentioned in the brief end credits.
I did not recognise the tune, and I am an Australian of the right age group. It just sounded like some noodling with a Hammond organ and drums. The poster in David's studio did feature the Birthday Party and some other Aussie bands. Maybe Paul Cox got Mick Harvey to knock something off for him, like he got Werner Herzog to play the father.
