about

Finalist, Roddy Read Memorial Songwriting Award, 2011
Government authorities are often almost as alienated from the people they serve as people are from the environment. Put them both together – say, at a public forum on the Murray–Darling Basin Plan – and the threat of violence is palpable.

lyrics

I went to the railway station
I got on a train
I didn’t bring my coat because it didn’t look like rain
Looking out the window at my life go rushing by
Why?

I got to the city
And I got on a tram
Clutching in my leather satchel the River Basin Plan
Looking out the window
At the people rushing past, oblivious
(well, if you have to ask…)

I worked hard all my life
I don’t have everything I need
It’s a working river
With 20 million mouths to feed
And I’ve got a few of my own
All those people in the city
They just want it to look pretty
Can’t you see the irony?

I got to the auditorium
And they’re in my sights
Sitting on the podium as if they had the right
I reach into my duffle bag for my second-last resort
And I won’t see you in court
