Paul Kelly - Leaps And Bounds

Paul Kelly - Leaps And Bounds

There is a great Australian Artist
Singing out along the Ranges
Spreading his magic in the city's and towns
With tales of legends and wet city streets
Creating a legend all of his own

From Bradman to Queen and Rover
Australian landmarks and silo's yonder
Desperate feelings of grief
He spins his yarns, his tales of gold
in a style beyond belief

He's created a legend all of his own

Not since the likes of Patterson
Has this great country been described with such picturesque emotion
And not since the times of Bradman
Has a man been brimming with such great Australian character and tradition

He's created a legend all of his own.

So from him I take inspiration
from him I take the good
If I could carry myself with half the grace
I'd tip my hat to that man
For him I think I would

He's created a legend all of his own

His art has seen me through some tough times
And stuck with me through the good
I carry a little piece of his heart in mine
I know I will shine
I know life is good

He's created a legend all of his own.

Cold Queen's Birthday in June.

On the South Eastern.

Dees at the 'G.

Running late, check the Nylex clock as we bolt past doing 110 so we don't miss the bounce.

And Paul Kelly playing.

I love this city.

[ZombeeChimp]

Knew every word of this album and sang it for years. Didn't know what the MCG was until the internet came along years later. It was tough being a Paul Kelly fan in the states in those days. Viva Paul.

South Bank when it was South Melbourne and bugger all on it! Melbourne as I remember it best!

Going to the Dome to watch your team is great, but the 'G' is really where it's at. The home of sport in Australia. The worlds greatest sporting venue!
