Gough
Lyricist:Timothy Freedman
Little song about a man called Gough And a little boy who wanted to be tarred with the same brush He learnt Latin, held his head up high And he hated the Liberals though he didn't know why
There were reasons How long have you got? There are always reasons How long have you got?
Little boy he's on the stage tonight His name is Anthony Hayes and he's doing alright They both went to the same local Canberra school But Stevie was nine in 1972
What a party A big day for both of us Big reason to party A big day for both of us
Come over, dinner with me We'll play chess and drink claret Walk slowly down my little street You can bring Margaret
Play chess and drink claret
November 11 was Armistice Day A bush ranger was slaughtered and Gough was betrayed November 11 he wouldn't survive The Governor General in '75
November 11 A big day for all of us Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I said November 11, Ned Kelly died Shame Fraser shame, we all cried
For you Gough, you Gough, you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam You Gough, you Gough, you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam
Come over, dinner with me We'll play chess and drink claret Walk slowly down my little street You can bring Margaret
Play chess and drink claret
It's for you Gough, you Gough, you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam You Gough, you Gough, you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam
You Gough, you Gough, you Gough Days of wine and roses, roses, roses
Days of wine and roses All the artists flew in and And all the assholes flew out All the artists flew in and And all the assholes flew out
For you Gough, you Gough, you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam You Gough, you Gough, you Gough Yeah
