Reflection & Direction
(QVB, Sydney)
Her statue commands
Out front a building grande
Guarded only by an iron boar
A living monument, mate
To an Ozzie Queen
You can shop there floor by floor

You can shop there floor by floor
Should say, the tourists do...
By the bus load, friend
Only they can afford the booty
And it’s decadence abounding
Space for the kids to run round in
Up in the rafters they’re serving hi-tea

You’ll get great photo shots
Of European clocks
Formal tolling at the top of the hour
The facade stands bright
Riche ‘glowing’ at night
Dedication to a monarch’s power

The facade stands bright
Riche ‘glowing’ at night
Dedication to a monarch’s power
So, you can feel like royalty
In our main streets ‘Dig’
Though such adoration does cause some confusion
For as much as we’re free
In our dust red country
Time to re-think our constitution...?
