I thought some of you might like this song by Beccy Cole. I believe she wrote it after copping some flak from her own fans. I think its a great song whatever you opinion is so try keep the politics where it belongs: Turn your speakers up:cool:

Its ok in Yank songs, but not in songs that have to do with Oz, trust me.

Apricots preserved in jars,

Land of oceans in the sun,
Purple hazes, river gum,
Breaks your heart when rain won't come,
It breaks your heart.
It takes a harsh and cruel drought
To sort the weaker saplings out,
It makes room for stronger trees
Maybe that's what life's about.
Winter's come, the hills are brown,
Shops are closed, the blinds are down.
Everybody's leaving town,
They can't go on.
The south wind through verandah gauze
Whines and bangs the homestead doors.
A mother curses dusty floors,
And feels alone.
Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust,
Boy leaves home to make a crust.
A father's dreams reduced to dust,
But he must go on.
Tortured red gums - unashamed,
Sunburnt country wisely named.
Chisel-ploughed and wire-claimed,
But never, never, never tamed.
Whirlwind swirls a paper high,
Same old news of further dry.
Of broken clouds just passing by,
That's my home.

"Shook hands with a digger on the wrong side of the world", huh? I thought that was going to be a thread about me! http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/...lies/frown.gif Instead we get to see Beccy Coles, flirting with the army, as they're off to invade the US in the Vegemite War. (I honestly can't understand it--we Yanks have been accused so often of going to war for the sake of oil, and as nearly as I can tell, from reading the threads you sent me, Vegemite and Light Sweet Crude share many of the same properties, specifically taste, texture and color... Why would we try to keep it out of the country? I think you should be preparing for us to invade you too! http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/...milies/usa.gif
(I'd thought about registering and posting that, but was afraid someone might figure out that you were to blame, and I wouldn't want to get you in trouble with your countrymen.) http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/...lies/wink2.gif<!-- / message -->
Just heard it, and thought it was just great. Not really my sort of music, but the message was very powerful, so good on 'er for doing it.
Hate bumpkin twang and didn't bother to look at this, tonight I did, change of heart, a very potent message and very sincere, wish we had that in Vietnam.
In that case then, do you speak Australian as your FIRST language, Al?Quote:

I can flip in and out of Mancimiun, Liverpudlian ( I spent my yoof growing up in Cheshire) and Australian, it all depends on what is going on at the time.
When watching Little Britain I ususally speak Mancuiniun. :p
