Name: Australian Sun
Duration: P00H04M00S
Description: Everything after the prologue is Denouement. I think Aristotle said that. I called across the sixth wave of the set to the same guy I’d seen for about three weeks every morning out back . “Mate.” It echoed across the salty 6.am. I saw him catch the next wave; the last of the set. I waited for him to paddle back out. A few seconds later I saw him walk up the beach and over the breakwall.

about

Everything after the prologue is Denouement. I think Aristotle said that. I called across the sixth wave of the set to the same guy I’d seen for about three weeks every morning out back . “Mate.” It echoed across the salty 6.am. I saw him catch the next wave; the last of the set. I waited for him to paddle back out. A few seconds later I saw him walk up the beach and over the breakwall.

lyrics

i was surfing today, out in manly bay
as the sun sang and burnt the ground
i didn’t have much to say
it’s the australian way
not to make a sound
shut your mouth
and catch the wave

i’ve got something to say
it’s the australian way
i’ve got something to say
it’s the australian way
x2

i bought the telegraph this morning
a cup of tea and that stops the yawning
throw the cup in the sink, then i’ll go for a run
i can’t help but think
this is australia’s sun
the sun is australian

i’ve got something to say
it’s the australian way
i’ve got something to say
it’s the australian way

it’s been three long years
but i still barely hold back the tears
the ref was a fraud, a liar and a cheat
it was his dud call that got them beat
he was out of line i told my mate
he said luke, calm down, have a smoke, you’re years too late
but i won’t stop til justice is served
my team didn’t get what they deserved

i’ve got something to say
it’s the australian way
i’ve got something to say
it’s the australian way
