Lyrics:

At first there’s some eerie electronic sounding score as crash test vehicles and dummies plough in slow motion into a wall. Then The Easybeats’ Friday on My Mind breaks in as Bryan Brown’s credit comes up, and runs over the rest of the head credits. Lyrics as heard in the film:

Monday mornin' feels so bad Everybody seems to nag me Comin' Tuesday, I feel better Even my old man looks good Wed'sday just don't go Thursday goes too slow I've got Friday on my mind Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she's so pretty She looks fine tonight She is out of sight to me Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight I'll lose my head, tonight I've got to get to night Monday I'll have Friday on my mind Do the five day grind once more I know of nothin' else that bugs me More than workin' for the rich man …

(The song then fades down and runs under Ben’s voice over, delivered as he walks away dazed from a big car pile-up on the freeway).

Hey! I'll change that scene one day Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad 'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she's so pretty She looks fine tonight. She is out of sight to me …

(The voice over continues over Ben in bed, but there’s a slight change in the mix to the song, implying that it’s now source and is coming from a clock radio next to his bed)

Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight I'll lose my head, tonight

(There’s an edit of a line in the original version)

Monday I'll have Friday on my mind

(Then the song goes into repeat)

Gonna have fun in the city I’ll be with my girl she’s so pretty …

(Ben slams down on the clock radio, cutting the song off).

Tail credits:

78 Saab’s Sunshine runs over the tail credits. It kicks in after Ben’s last line of voice over. Lyrics as heard in the film:

Sunshine ...paints these open seas so green Car lines hug the coastline before tea And theyyy …stretch as far as I can see On the way home ... before the need to fall asleep Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home Strangers ...dreaming hard of a new life Away, away from dead end ties that bind And I'd believe them... If the clouds don't block the sun outside Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home …

(The song then fades out on an instrumental section as the final legal and copyright notice comes up. In published versions of the song’s lyrics, it continues and ends this way) …

All in all I know, I know the way All in all I know, I know the way All in all I know, I know the way All in all I know, I know the way Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home Sun in the eyes isn't easy Making your way home

Miller-Robinson had a listing at the Origin Music Publishing website here, which contained this short bio:

Don is a multi-instrumentalist, skilled producer and engineer, sound designer and composer. His work covers many genre’s and his experience both in Australia and the USA over the years has brought him many great opportunities. Originally from Canberra Don was first seen and heard when he appeared in the feature film Monkey Grip (alongside Divinyls). Later Don had a stint as a touring member of Dragon as well as the rock group Big Storm but his most consistent work through the years has been in film and TV. More recently Don has been collaborating with his partner Sunny Amoreena on her original recordings.

A story in The Australian here (may be subscriber limited, google text for original) by Iain Shedden on 13th September 2014 under the header A life of song, and lifesaving surgery: a Sunny success story provided these additional details about Robinson and Amoreena:

As a child, Sunny Amoreena didn’t have many prospects as a musician. Or of having lots of friends — or even of surviving into adulthood. At the age of three, while growing up in Canberra, Amoreena was disembowelled by a swimming pool filter, an injury that prevented her from having a normal life for the next 30 years. She spent most of her childhood in hospitals or at home, unable to play with other children because she was too weak. “I was incredibly lucky to survive that,” the 32- year-old said yesterday, near her home at Bronte Beach in Sydney. “People before that had not survived. There were predictions that I wouldn’t live for long and would be on machines for years. Because of that there was a lot of isolation.” Amoreena’s story is one of triumph over adversity, and of how music can be a life- affirming inspiration. Three months ago, the singer had successful, groundbreaking surgery developed by a team of Australian surgeons specialising in her injuries. It means that, next week, when Amoreena launches her debut album Check For Wolves in Sydney, it will mark a new chapter in her life, one in which she has a clean bill of health and the prospect of a normal life as well as a long-term music career. “They worked out that I was missing three of the crucial ligaments that hold up the abdomen. “They basically restrung me and it has completely changed my life.” Amoreena is grateful to the surgeons — Sydney’s Darren Gold and Peter Petrof and Melbourne’s Max Haberfield — for giving her a “little miracle”, but she is indebted also to music, a world into which she retreated and found solace soon after her accident. From the age of five, she played piano and wrote songs as well as listening intently to her parents’ record collection. Only now is she able to bring that talent to the public. “I’ve always written songs. I have boxes of them. The battle with health has been a big thing, but with music it doesn’t matter what state you’re in. You can work as a little hermit.” Amoreena and her musician/producer partner Don Miller-Robinson have spent the past 10 years working on her songs, flitting between Sydney and Los Angeles, where he does much of his work, when she has been able to travel. Her album was completed two years ago, which was when Amoreena suffered kidney failure. “My health fell in a heap and it was an 18-month mystery to try and find out what had gone on.” Now, thanks to the surgery, she can look forward to her album launch next Thursday. “I feel like I’ve got a chance to do something now. To perform.” She invited the surgeons, but they will be in Munich presenting her case at a conference
