song lyrics
Monday, December 9th, 2002
Speaking of politics, my big brother contributes this fine snatch of homegrown Australian rap, collected from the eclipse-and-music festival at Lyndhurst:
“John Howard is a filthy slut!
I know he got elected but,
he’s no leader of mine,
he’s a national shame,
leading our country down the drain…”
Jeremy points out that if your accent is broad enough, the last three lines can be made to rhyme.
Another fragment of song was left over from the dream last night:
“I’m cool as the ocean
a slave to compassion
turning and burning
in the approved fashion…”
