03 Mar 11 - 08:35 PM (#3106579) Subject: Lyr Add: THE KOALA KAFE (Eric Bogle) From: Dennis the Elder Hy Skarpi Try this THE KOALA KAFE ©Eric Bogle January 2000 1. Down at the Kaola Kafe They're not servin' milk-shakes any more. The owners have gone and the shutters are drawn. There's a faded note pinned to the door That says, "We ran out of credit and cash. We ran out of toil sweat and tears. Then we ran out of dreams, so now it seems All that's left is to run out of here." CHORUS: The whole town is fadin', fadin' away Since the music stopped playin' down at the Koala Kafe. 2. Outside the Koala Cafe There's a big red and white "for sale" sign, But nobody's buyin', for this town is dyin'. It's only a matter of time. The banks moved away months ago When their profits started to fall, And when the next term rolls round, the school's closin' down. Without kids there's no future at all. 3. Inside the Koala Kafe, It's silent empty and dim. Dust lies thick on the shelves, the juke box as well. No more Elvis, Madonna or Slim. No songs driftin' along Main Street On those long hot still summer nights, No hoons drivin' about ,no kids just hangin' out. Last to leave please turn out the lights. |

I am a particular fan of Eric Bogle and love his songs and his and John Monroe's singing. Koala Cafe is not one I have heard more than once, but you have raised my interest again, thanks. I have seen Eric and John live and they are good. Managed to have a good talk to Eric. I believe that Eric's tours out of Australia are over, but worth a visit to Australia see them. Can you take a short cut over the Pole or is it even further from there as it is for me from Yorkshire. Just come back, myself and unfortunately they were not appearing near enough to see them. |
