Anzac Biscuits - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew[00:00:00]
Written by:John Schumann[00:00:00]
So can you hear me darling girls[00:00:12]
Above the cannons roar[00:00:15]
And if you could[00:00:18]
I know you would deliver me from this war[00:00:19]
The sky above is broken[00:00:28]
The stars are hard and cold[00:00:31]
The shells are screaming overhead[00:00:36]
I'm crouching in a hole[00:00:38]
I've seen tremendous courage[00:00:41]
I've seen grown men crying tears[00:00:44]
And the terrifying prospect is this war could last for years[00:00:48]
The rain cuts like a crosscut saw[00:00:55]
And wind cuts like a knife[00:00:57]
I miss my darling daughter[00:01:03]
And I miss my darling wife[00:01:06]
So make me me Anzac biscuits[00:01:13]
Make them sweet and gold[00:01:16]
And bake them in our oven over glowing redgum coals[00:01:19]
And let them cool wrap them tight[00:01:25]
And put them in a tin[00:01:28]
They'll find me in a trench somewhere[00:01:32]
But god alone knows when[00:01:35]
The pink Australian light of evening faded from the land[00:01:43]
The soldier's darling wife took their daughter by the hand[00:01:50]
We'll make dad Anzac biscuits he likes them sweet and strong[00:01:56]
It's been almost a year since our courageous soldier's gone[00:02:03]
We'll wrap them up with all our love send them with a prayer[00:02:09]
That they'll find him safe and sound somewhere over there[00:02:16]
So they made him Anzac biscuits[00:02:26]
And they made them sweet and gold[00:02:29]
And they baked them in their oven over glowing redgum coals[00:02:32]
And they let them call[00:02:38]
And they wrapped them tight and sent them with a prayer[00:02:39]
And they found him living in a trench somewhere over there[00:02:46]
And the rolled oats felt like snowflakes fell 10 000 miles away[00:03:23]
And pots and pans were rattling like machine guns on the plain[00:03:28]
And the butter felt like gun grease[00:03:34]
And the treacle stuck like mud[00:03:37]
And like a battle smoke and fire baked the coconut[00:03:43]
The sky above is broken[00:03:53]
And the stars are hard and cold[00:03:56]
The shells are screaming overhead[00:04:00]
I'm crouching in a hole[00:04:03]
I've seen tremendous courage[00:04:06]
I've seen grown men cry in shame[00:04:09]
And the terrifying prospect is I'll never be the same[00:04:14]
The rain cuts like a crosscut saw[00:04:19]
The wind cuts like a knife[00:04:22]
I miss my darling daughter[00:04:28]
And I miss my darling wife[00:04:30]
I miss my darling daughter[00:04:38]
And I miss my darling wife[00:04:41]
I miss my darling daughter[00:04:48]
And I miss my darling wife[00:04:51]
