Inscription for a War
(Apologies to A.D. Hope)


Stranger, go tell the Spartans
we died here obedient to their commands.
Inscription at Thermopylae


Linger not, supporter; shed no tear;
Go back to those who sent us here.
These are the young they drafted out
To teams their folly brought about.
Go tell those old men, safe in bed,
Carlton took their orders and is dead.

In the Desert
(by Stephen Crane)

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

Go tell those old men safe in bed.

That thought lingers.

We must turn this club around like we did in '64.

It ain't over for me as I pick up the pieces filled with sadness.
I'm talking about the kids.

Both my kids want to go to Melbourne for Saturday's game to see us rise from the dead.
Against the drug cheats I said to them, and they said against anyone.

I caught you knockin'
At my cellar door
I love you, baby,
Can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

Hey hey my my
Carlton Blues will never die.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.
Gotta get rid of something rotten.

you were my love
you went away
and now my weekend days are grey.

but from the ashes
new dreams arise
and I'll be waiting
for your new life.

oh my carlton
oh my heart

you've left us cold, ripped us apart

oh my carlton
start again

shake off your burdens
start to mend.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

It's been awhile
And still I remember,
The cups you won for me

Lately I have missed you,
And It hits me on the weekend
When I'm cold

(I have nothing to say)
But I can't change a thing,
No I can't change a thing

If I knew, what I know
And If I said, what I meant

When all the big dogs get to grow their own
Everybody's gotta call Ikon home

(I have nothing to say)
Memories.....In September Grey

I can't change a thing,
I can't change a thing,
I can't change anything
I can't change.....a thing

(solo)
Ohhhhhhhh...Wrapped in September Grey.......

Now I have learned, not to trust
I have to watch everything I feel

You'll never know,
And I'll never let you see,
What you've done, what's become of me

(I have no words to say)
Memories.....
Memories of premiership day

I can't change a thing,
Oh I can't change a thing,
I just can't change anything,
I can't change......a thing

I want you to know this pain is real.

I wish I could show you how I feel.

...Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows

What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,

The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And I took the path of trading for top ups rather than drafting @#$%&! youth.

Carlton carlton where's
Your light
in the forest of the night
What the boardroom
What the staff
Could forge your
Frightful symmetry
