'70s Football
Robbie McGhie, '73
After the flag, smokin' a fag
And Robert Klomp; and Steve McCann
Wow Jones, Jim Jess, Micky Nolan
And Cowboy Neale; four-eyed Blethyn
Pissin' in cans, old Moorabbin
I chucked mine, and still feel rotten –
Damn thing hit Gary Sidebottom
Soft hearted! Tough! Loyal! Fearless!
Merrett! Dunne! S. Kourkoumelis!
Gone, gone! Gone, gone! Gone, gone – all gone
Like "Crazy Horse" Gary Cowton
Melted, as in the summer, snow
Has little Vin Catoggio
Me, thirteen in '75
And now they're gone, and so will I
They reached the Gulf, did Burke and Wills
Ain't comin' back, like no one will
Our fear and pain and aches and ills
Show we're the same as lakes and hills
Mountains crumble and rivers dry
Species flourish, and then they die
I was thirteen. Now, seasons hence
All are gone. Oh, impermanence!
After the flag, smokin' a fag
And Robert Klomp; and Steve McCann
Wow Jones, Jim Jess, Micky Nolan
And Cowboy Neale; four-eyed Blethyn
Pissin' in cans, old Moorabbin
I chucked mine, and still feel rotten –
Damn thing hit Gary Sidebottom
Soft hearted! Tough! Loyal! Fearless!
Merrett! Dunne! S. Kourkoumelis!
Gone, gone! Gone, gone! Gone, gone – all gone
Like "Crazy Horse" Gary Cowton
Melted, as in the summer, snow
Has little Vin Catoggio
Me, thirteen in '75
And now they're gone, and so will I
They reached the Gulf, did Burke and Wills
Ain't comin' back, like no one will
Our fear and pain and aches and ills
Show we're the same as lakes and hills
Mountains crumble and rivers dry
Species flourish, and then they die
I was thirteen. Now, seasons hence
All are gone. Oh, impermanence!
