letra de 26 november - the mangroves
[verse 1]
summer began, that tropical high
high like a fever, forgotten july
a crisp pressed outfit at three times the wage
the news wouldn’t tell it on its own front page
shots rang out across the brisbane sky
a crack and a shout, ‘they got one of our guys!’
on the corner of adelaide, the gunner of lead
in his own town, america saw him shot dead
[chorus]
and who remembers edward webster’s name?
and who remembers the bloodstained castlemaine?
sam got away with one; thе censors got hold of the story
but we’ll rеmember the battle for brisbane’s glory
we’ll remember that day
[verse 2]
the shouts carried wide; i heard a mother cry out
her boy lay fallen, he’s not talked about
a general came in and shut the whole thing down
‘keep your mouth shut, convicts, in your backwards town’
the riot flamed out with no more dead
at least, that’s what the papers said
but the eyes saw different on the street of queens
the bodies lay still, and then the streets were clean
[chorus]
and who remembers edward webster’s name?
and who remembers the bloodstained castlemaine?
sam got away with one; the censors got hold of the story
but we’ll remember the battle for brisbane’s glory
we’ll remember that day
