For Andrew

From the Best Western Steak’n’kidney humble pie all singing all dancing revue
We’ve got seats for bums for Andrew
Where our Members long to go and watch the stars on nights like this
Got the numbers right for Andrew
He’s thumbed ‘em through himself its costly running ‘round the park
There’s been countless papers studies feasibilities, the best he’s read [...]

From the Best Western Steak’n’kidney humble pie all singing all dancing revue

We’ve got seats for bums for Andrew
Where our Members long to go and watch the stars on nights like this
Got the numbers right for Andrew
He’s thumbed ‘em through himself its costly running ‘round the park
There’s been countless papers studies feasibilities, the best he’s read so far

But nothing yet from Andrew
It seems his mind is made ‘Good Old West Sydney’ tops the list
But do they know the game there Andrew
Cause there’s many down The Apple Isle think you’re taking the piss
We’ve played the game for years outlined our vision clearly Tassie’s a right to this

But it’s all up in the air we might when the time is right for Andrew
Although it’s blinding there for you and me it’s a mystery for Andrew
C.E.O Demetriou we’re your best bet
Can we get a map of Tassie for the brand and then find forty men for Andrew

But Ando says to Andrew
“Did you hear the one ‘bout ‘3 Tasmanians walk into a bar’”
And it’s tailor-made for Andrew
He knows this punch line “6 beers” they both begin to laugh
But seriously Andrew if it’s sides your pickin’ then Tassie’s done enough

And I feel something in the air tonight the time is right for Andrew
To put a side in there for you and me and make history for Andrew
C E O Demetriou we’re your best bet (Where you gonna get)
So many thousand screamin’ footy fans wanting forty men for Andrew
Not to mention all the champions we already send ‘Roarin’ Forties Men’ to Andrew
We’ll get Rocket Eade to coach, Benny Gale, Disco Roach, Tassie Johnson
Arthur Hodgson and Verdun Howell, Steven Febey, Barry Lawrence
Darrel Baldock, Ian Stewart, Alistair Lynch, John Greening and Percy Jones, Paul Williams, Peter Hudson, Tiger Crosswell, Royce Hart, Darrin Pritchard, Matty Richardson

“The songs on ‘The Way’ were written in Melbourne and Hobart between July 2002 and April 2003. The album was recorded in Sydney at a friend’s (Matt Hayes, the drummer from Stuff Smith) studio . It had a sort of loungeroom feel and I wanted the CD to sound like a private gig for one. [...]

“The songs on ‘The Way’ were written in Melbourne and Hobart between July 2002 and April 2003. The album was recorded in Sydney at a friend’s (Matt Hayes, the drummer from Stuff Smith) studio . It had a sort of loungeroom feel and I wanted the CD to sound like a private gig for one. We started in April and finished in June. From June until September I spent my time trying to finance the mastering and organising the artwork and design. It was completed just before Christmas and I took it to Hobart where I played some gigs.”
