Hyde Park Calling (King William Road Scene 1) - John Schumann[00:00:00]

The trees have repossessed their leaves[00:00:12]

The clouds are all rinsed clean[00:00:15]

Smug success[00:00:19]

Upon the breeze[00:00:20]

The vines are running green[00:00:22]

Like ladies in waiting[00:00:26]

To a fashion queen[00:00:28]

Behind mascara eyes[00:00:30]

The eastern suburb mums drift in[00:00:33]

Coffee cake and lies[00:00:36]

And as the morning rolls to midday[00:00:40]

Vain impressions grow[00:00:44]

The only world they care about[00:00:49]

Is on King William Road[00:00:52]

She's got polaroids[00:00:56]

Of the refugees[00:00:57]

Shows them all around[00:01:00]

Tries to make them understand[00:01:03]

They won't hear a sound[00:01:06]

And on the grass strip[00:01:10]

Outside the factory gate[00:01:11]

They're queuing up[00:01:13]

Along the fence[00:01:15]

Bankers meet their lawyers[00:01:17]

Making ready their defense[00:01:20]

And the blinds go down[00:01:25]

You can hear the sound[00:01:26]

Shredding machines down low[00:01:28]

And you listen[00:01:32]

You can hear them grinding[00:01:34]

From King William Road[00:01:36]

And we can barely see the track[00:02:07]

We've been squinting in the sun[00:02:10]

The windshield holds[00:02:14]

The country out[00:02:15]

We never quite belonged[00:02:17]

Past is hard to understand[00:02:22]

Future's hard to guess[00:02:25]

Still the wrong things prosper[00:02:28]

And they blame you for the mess[00:02:31]

But if you play politely[00:02:36]

You'll get a medal that you can show[00:02:39]

To all the other people who've toed the line[00:02:44]

Down on King William Road[00:02:47]

Conspiracy silence now[00:02:55]

And it's whispered on the wind[00:02:58]

You can bang it on the door and scream[00:03:01]

But they you back in[00:03:05]

In a FM world of heartbreak[00:03:09]

It's hard to get your message through[00:03:12]

If only you'd aimed at the sitting ducks[00:03:15]

And not at the ones that flew[00:03:19]

They don't like your accent now[00:03:23]

You're a prisoner of what you know[00:03:26]

'Cause you might let their secrets out[00:03:31]

Down on King William Road[00:03:34]

And they opened up the gates[00:03:51]

Government house[00:03:54]

And let some people in[00:03:55]

To wander through those gracious rooms[00:03:58]

And sing god save the queen[00:04:01]

And in the still life garden afternoon[00:04:06]

The same old deals are going down[00:04:09]

It's hard to get the numbers up[00:04:12]

On the bankrupt side of town[00:04:15]

And the people who weren't invited[00:04:20]

They didn't even know[00:04:23]

So they spent the evening[00:04:28]

Running up and down[00:04:30]

King William Road[00:04:32]

And you can take your imported sports car[00:04:36]

Drive it real slow[00:04:40]

And all your friends[00:04:44]

Will see you there[00:04:45]

Down on King William Road[00:04:47]
