Hello Joe, it's Dan here. Hope you're getting ass raped in prison. And oh yeah, I'm banging Rita and neglecting your kids. And we're using packet gravy from now on too - it tastes way better than that shit you used to make.
Not quite sure what that sentence means but I'm guessing you're making reference to the fact that Carl Barron does a bit about looking like Paul Kelly. I laughed the first time I heard Carl say that.
The first time I heard this song I was driving to school (I am a Primary School Teacher). It was A live performance. I wept like a little child that had grazed his knee. I turned up at school as the song was ending. I had red puffy eyes and a snotty nose with no tissues or hanky. I looked a complete mess. A colleague asked me what was wrong and when I was telling her why I was crying I started again. Just wonderful.
I really prefer the live aide version...with the electrified guitars and drums. Seems it's disappeared...can anybody help me and tell me where I might find it?? Thanks Joel
what a great version if a great song, Acoustic Highway do this one as part of their set list.
