With the unfailing urbanisation of our society ...are we losing touch with who we are? Where are the 'true blues?' These days everything seems 'negotiable' ...not simply 'as you find it'.
Yes, as society has changed a lot in recent decades ...we have moved with it. But our values never change.
The Great Aussie Bloke
He's been the lovable larrikin
The butt of many a joke
For he speaks his mind right at you
plain speaking kind of folk
To get a true likeness of him though...
the painter would need few stokes
For straight up and down
just as you find him
is the great Aussie bloke:
Give him a field
He'll raze it clean
on a given day
Give him a bar
he'll fill it with fun
At his regular pay
Open his eyes
to a worthy cause
He'll move
without delay
Yet introduce him
to a worthy miss
He'll quietly shrink and choke...
Not much with his softer side really
The great Aussie bloke
The 'engine's always running'
He's 'chatty' and forthright
A friend in need...?
He'll turn up ready
to help him with his plight
Injustice found?
In his own way
He'll defend the given right
A time of darkness...?
he'll be there too
to raise his sleeves to fight...
Then without words
he'll tip his hat.... and
slowly roll a smoke...
little else to say really...
Straight up and down
Just as you find him
Then without words
he'll tip his hat.... and
slowly roll a smoke...
little else to say really...
Straight up and down
Just as you find him
He's the ...great ...Aussie ...bloke
