References
"New Dreamland" is taken from the title of Douglas Lloyd-Jenkins' New Dreamland: Writing New Zealand Architecture (Godwit, 2005).
I can't recall where I sourced "Ive stood outside long enough, I’ve been absent long enough", although I cited it with "WW/JT" and I suspect it conjoins two lyrics or lines.
"I’ll be fucked if I’m gunna play that game" is a lyric from Home, Land and Sea by Trinity Roots (2004).
