The Perth Song

Kind of hoping they run me out of town.

Taking the lyrics with me.

O they muffle the bells on the bell tower
Yes they muffle the bells on the bell tower
The bells of St Martins are well out of site
In an average building of average height
But the noise may give office employees a fright
So they muffle the bells on the bell tower

There’s a conference thing on the river
There’s a conference thing on the river
A flexible building it can’t be denied
But the thing we all view with a great deal of pride
Is the internal view of the opposite side
There’s a conference thing on the river

O they’re practical men in the Weld Club
Yes they’re practical men in the Weld Club
Beautiful buildings have history and class
But they don’t return money like concrete and glass
You can stick the aesthetics sideways up your arse.
Yes they’re practical men in the Weld Club   

Well the news is half Eagles, half Dockers.
Yes the news is half Eagles, half Dockers.
Commercial TV’s run by Gammel and Stokes
And the paper’s controlled by the very same folks
So it’s lucky for us that they’re such lovely blokes
Yes the news is half Eagles, half Dockers.

There’s a vibrancy plan for the city
There’s a vibrancy plan for the city
Not that it needs it. It doesn’t. Although.
You could fire a canon and not close the road.
But there’s adequate parking wherever you go
There’s a vibrancy plan and a conference thing and they muffle the bells on the Bell Tower.
