Let The Canefields Burn (Remastered 2014) - Graeme Connors[00:00:00]

Written by：Graeme Connors[00:00:03]

There's a painting of my grandfather[00:00:30]

On my mothers side[00:00:34]

In the hallway of our homestead[00:00:37]

In a special place of pride[00:00:41]

With his bulldogs and kanakas[00:00:45]

Back in eighteen nighty three[00:00:49]

In a linen suit and a panama[00:00:53]

They say he looked like me[00:00:56]

And the story goes he came out[00:01:02]

To make a brand new start[00:01:06]

In an effort to forget[00:01:10]

A sad affair of the heart[00:01:13]

And with these romantic notions[00:01:17]

To the colonies he came[00:01:21]

Where he settled in the tropics[00:01:25]

Made his fortune growing cane[00:01:28]

Well let the canefields burn[00:01:34]

Let the flames rise[00:01:37]

Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:01:41]

In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:01:46]

Let the canefields burn[00:01:49]

Let me feel no pain[00:01:53]

When I drown my soul in whiskey[00:01:57]

And dance in the flames[00:02:02]

There's a photo of my parents[00:02:19]

Taken in between the wars[00:02:22]

In London Rome or Paris[00:02:26]

I don't know for sure[00:02:30]

But it hangs there in the hallway[00:02:33]

And there's one for every year[00:02:37]

Fortunes made and fortunes paid[00:02:42]

For champagne souvenirs[00:02:45]

So let the canefields burn[00:02:50]

Let the flames rise[00:02:54]

Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:02:57]

In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:03:02]

Let the canefields burn[00:03:05]

Let me feel no pain[00:03:09]

When I drown my soul in whiskey[00:03:14]

And dance in the flames[00:03:18]

And all they say they're gonna take this all away from me[00:03:27]

The cars the cane the homestead[00:03:35]

All my family history[00:03:38]

Well tomorrow when the bankers come to settle all their claims[00:03:42]

Let the auctioneer open with a price for charred remains[00:03:50]

And let the cane fields burn[00:03:58]

Let the flames rise[00:04:02]

Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:04:06]

In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:04:11]

Let the canefields burn[00:04:13]

Let me feel no pain[00:04:17]

When I drown my soul in whiskey[00:04:22]

And dance in the flames[00:04:26]

Let the canefields burn[00:04:31]

Let the flames rise[00:04:35]

Let the politicians and the bankers in the city look up[00:04:39]

In wonder at the glow at in the sky[00:04:43]

Let the canefields burn[00:04:46]

Let me feel no pain[00:04:50]

When I drown my soul in whiskey[00:04:54]
