Trying today to separate that spirit we say
is Australian; the ‘quintessence’ with all of
its roguish charm & off-beat delinquency -
a curiously ‘provincial’ embeddedness we
see as a statement you’ll guarantee is the
real thing: he’s dinkum mate, those aren't
affectations - true as th’ sun rises in Brizo
’n bloody sets way out west of Perth
y’ mean like a bloke who’s from Brizo - or
Perth? Well I reckon it’s more like bloody
Orange - y’ know, where if you’re worth a
quid y’ don’t let on ‘cause the rellies’ll be
listenin’ ‘n surely pimp on yah
from mate, but where you sound like y’d
been, ‘n if th’ sequence is recognisable it
hits th’ right keys - a harmony telling you
it’s okay to converse - banter all ya want,
and no-one’ll be th’ least bit offended
