Let The Canefields Burn (Live) - Graeme Connors[00:00:00]
There's a painting of my grandfather on my mothers side[00:00:32]
In the hallway of our homestaed in a special place of pride[00:00:40]
With his bulldogs and kanakas back in eighteen nighty three[00:00:47]
In a linen suit and a panama they say he looked like me[00:00:55]
And the story goes he came out to make a brand new start[00:01:05]
In an effort to forget a sad affair of the heart[00:01:12]
So with these romantic notions to the colonies he came[00:01:20]
Where he settled in the tropics and made his fortune growing cane[00:01:27]
Well let the canefields burn let the flames rise[00:01:36]
Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:01:43]
In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:01:48]
Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain[00:01:51]
When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames[00:02:00]
There's a photo of my parents taken in between the wars[00:02:21]
In London Rome or Paris I don't know for sure[00:02:28]
But it hangs there in the hallway and there's one for every year[00:02:36]
Fortunes made and fortunes paid for champagne souveniers[00:02:44]
Well let the canefields burn let the flames rise[00:02:52]
Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:03:00]
In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:03:05]
Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain[00:03:07]
When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames[00:03:16]
And they say they're gonna take this all away from me[00:03:30]
The cars the cane the homestead all my family history[00:03:37]
Let the auctioneer open with a price for charred remains[00:03:53]
Well let the canefields burn let the flames rise[00:04:01]
Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:04:09]
In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:04:13]
Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain[00:04:16]
When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames[00:04:25]
Let the canefields burn let the flames rise[00:04:34]
Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:04:41]
In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:04:46]
Let the canefield burn let me feel no pain[00:04:49]
When I drown my soul in whisky and dance in the flames[00:04:57]
