Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Grey Flannel Line.
Hey!

It's a Song!

I made it up as I went along! The Muse had me by the throat... or the ear...

Who cares about facts anyway...

Aussies are partly British in origin, but we really do have some Citizens here who want to insist on their 5th Amendment Rights. Too many damn US TV Shows...

Which is hysterically funny, for us as the default 51st US state,
:-)
because the 5th Amendment to the AUSTRALIAN Constitution, was passed in about 1969, declared that Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders were now citizens and had all right of other citizens, including, voting, consumption of alcohol, wages, etc...

That should probably be noted for completeness in the "Ozstrine Dreamtime" thread, BTW... :-)

Pleased to see that US citizens (according to a ruling about some part of Cuba I never heard of before!) now can expect to not be dealt with under US law outside the US...

"And who was Farmer Brown?"
What?! You never heard of "Brown's Cows"?!!
Usage: 'Who do you think you are straggling in late like that?
       A mob of Browns' Cows?'
It was a small market garden holding, you see. A cream Dairy farm, which fed the skim milk and garbage and resturant waste to the pigs...
That's now illegal in oz btw...

Oh, BTW, if you make real money out of singing it, tell me and I'll let you know where to send the dump trucks full of cash... :-)

BTW, I love Launderland. I want to work that up and sing it.

Fits well to Belfast Mill (which i suppose is a pinch of Aragon Mill). Great tune, especially my harmonising part on the Low whistle - every line the same, 4 sets of - note, note, step up, step down, then jump down a tone and repeat... basically... :-) they just kick me in the shins on the last line.... :-)
