A Blacktown Oddity

Fat control to major sheeds

Fat control to major sheeds

Take your aggro pills and put your helmet on

(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)

(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)

(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you

This is Fat controller to major Tom, you've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose Dad you'll get next year

And Eddie's gone all weird

Now it's time to leave Blacktown if you dare to play a game

This is major Sheeds to Fat control, I'm stepping through the door

Oh no all the stars are floating away

And the boys have said they won't stay

Here am I sitting in a S#*! can far from AFL land

Tom's got all the loot there's nothing I can do

I'm past one hundred thousand years of age, I'm feeling very thick

And I hope Gubby knows what to do

Tell Sculls I love him very much, even though we have never met

Fat control to major Sheeds, all the cap is spent on Fill's pies

Can you hear me, major Sheeds?

Can you hear me, major Sheeds?

Can you hear me, major Sheeds?

Can you...

Here am I sitting in S#*! can in NRL land

No money left for the boys and there's nothing I can do.

Nothing I can do …..

Nothing I can do ….

Oh Tom not you too…..

(edit: fix my poor knowledge of where GWS is based)

Nicely done :-)

We should get David Costabile (aka Gale Boetticher) to sing that song in front of a series of space-related images. That would really get our message through.

Very clever stuff Robbie. I like the connection between Sheedy, the Martians and GWS. All totally fanciful.

[Redleg 40,858]

Well done.

It would be a good idea not to ask me to sing!

(other than a grand old flag because I dont care who hears me sing that, hopeful i sing it more often next year.)

"timmy watson to michael long..."
