still wanting a vegemite sandwich
Published Jul. 24, 2008
This was one of those nonsensical songs that we danced and sang during our first summer together. Now, after two children, The Divorce and all the other things that passed by and are called My Life...I still love to see the video and sing the words. I still don't really have a good grip on what most of the song really means, but then...that's about like my grip on life. Even if you don't know what it means, It hurts nothing to sing and dance with the music. And keep wanting that vegemite sandwich. ;)

"Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,
"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
